Check Out These Absolutely Baffling Design Choices
Are you aware of the Watchmaker argument?
Basically it goes like this: if you were walking along the beach and you found an intricate pocket watch, you wouldn’t assume it had just been formed randomly out of waves and sand or whatever, you’d know that a person had to have designed it. When you look around at the world it looks pretty complicated too, so someone must have designed that as well.
It’s a kind of philosophical argument that can lead to endless debate, but the reason I bring it up here is that while scrolling the cursed images on @uglydesign on Instagram, I see things that clearly had to have been designed by humans, and yet are so baffling that it’s more tempting to believing they WERE some kind of accident?
I don’t know. Scroll on, you’ll see what I mean.

For when you done got tired a’her always claimin’ youse exageratin’.

6. This three wheel circus
I don’t know if you’ve got the mechanics of this quite right, friend.
5. This couch with toes
I’m the most uncomfortable I’ve ever been.
4. This sleeping bag sock
And why are you on the kitchen floor? I have so many questions.
3. This seal table
It does not get my seal of approval.
2. This torture bike
Reminds me of that thing from South Park.
1. These extreme steak knives
My god man, how tough are you cooking those things?
I just. I can’t. I won’t. I don’t understand.
Would you actually consider buying any of these? Which ones and why?

These People All Joyfully Take After Their Parents
When Charles Darwin was conducting research and piecing together the framework that would ultimately form the bedrock of evolutionary theory, he had one big problem on his hands.
He knew, like everyone did, that humans and animals alike passed traits on from parent to offspring. And he further knew – as fewer had noticed – that these traits give survival advantages and disadvantages in different environments, which ultimately turn little changes in the short term into huge morphs in the long-term.
But what he DIDN’T know what just HOW this was happening. “Genetics” wasn’t a term yet. We didn’t really get the mechanism for HOW we looked like our dad. We just kinda expected that to be the case, and thought it was a sort of magic.
And in a way, we were right. Sure, we’ve got a much better understanding now of genes and DNA and all that jazz, but it IS still a sort of magic to compare yourself to your parents. It’s a bond. And it’s one that these Redditors are reveling in.

Notation Knife
In Italy during the 16th century music was engraved on knives so guests could sing together after they ate. Each side of the blade has musical notations and each knife represents one part for a singer. So, a complete set of knives actually come together to create a harmonious chorus.

Really Wonderful Cringey Looks Back in Time
As a kid I was kind of obsessed with recording things. I was into multimedia endeavors in a big way. I had my tape recorders, my family’s giant camcorder, and some fairly primitive software to play around with as well.
The upside of this is that I have a TON of preserved record of my childhood with all of my tastes and attempts at expression.
The downside of this is that I have a TON of preserved record of my childhood with all of my tastes and attempts at expression.
Most of it is, how do I put this, the cringiest cringe that ever cringed. And I’m genuinely torn between burning it all in a fire and backing it up forever because of my previously mentioned obsession with all things multimedia.
Maybe I should just dump it all on r/blunderyears like these Reddit people did.

Interesting Examples of People Experiencing Pareidolia
Pareidolia is “the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern.”
In other words…you’re seeing things!
But don’t get alarmed, we all do it sometimes. Like when you see faces or animals in clouds, or on buildings, or on cracked sidewalks. Or maybe even in your food or your coffee.
Are you ready to see some really good examples of pareidolia?
Let’s take a look!
