16+ Things That Totally Look Like Something Else

Usually when you hear about something that has taken on the uncanny resemblance of another thing, it's cause for a pilgrimage to see if some person's grilled cheese sandwich really does have the Virgin Mary's face in it.

Now, to be fair, we can't say that these images are 100% free of religious imagery, but that's only because we're not going to pretend to know what everybody out there worships. But we can say that all of these things bear a weird, but striking resemblance to something else.

"This orchid really looks like an eagle," wrote the uploader.

Reddit | kYlejAEnz

Big time agree. And it seems to be one of the odd things that orchids just kinda do sometimes.

There are orchids that look like monkeys, monkey faces, flies, and bees, so hey, why not an eagle about to unfurl its wings, too?

I have to say, this rock definitely looks like a slice of pizza.

Reddit | xxxtencioncord2

If Fred Flintstone ran a pizza shop, he'd serve up slices like this. Honestly, I'm not sure I could design a rock to look more like a slice of pizza if I had a tub of fossilized pepperoni and well, let's be honest, the standard crust I make at home.

It's...not so good. There's a reason I order in a lot.

"This burnt cheese looks like a penguin."

Reddit | FalconerGuitars

If you're going to burn your cheese, you may as well do it in style, amirite? Here's hoping the rest of the nachos/pizza/enchiladas escaped unharmed.

People make sacrifices for their art, but there's such a thing as too high a price to pay.

"This log looks like a clock."

Reddit | socks_and_salad

I've never seen a log cut open to look more like a clock. If it was cut down at 10 to 6:00, I'll eat my hat, however.

The markings definitely don't look natural - possibly they were made by spiles driven in to collect sap for tasty tasty syrup.

"My Wifi extender looks like it needs a hug."

Reddit | Foodstamps4life

I feel you, little buddy. The ol' worldwide web is not always the kindest of places, and carrying it has to be twice as trying as surfing it.

"The roof of this car looks like a shot of a planet from space."

Reddit | JB_v1

Yep, if NASA released this as concept art of an exoplanet, I wouldn't be able to say it wasn't for sure. Heck, they could have been taking pics of their car hoods in winter for years and I wouldn't have been any wiser.

"My coffee looks like a newly discovered planet."

Reddit | Rasputin_mad_monk

Okay, maybe we should be watching those space photos more closely. The frost on a car hood could be an distant ball of ice, and the swirling clouds of a gas giant could really be the cream refusing to mix all the way into someone's morning brew.

"My coffee looks like the @ symbol this morning."

Reddit | jillianjiggs92

I'd say this person had been spending too much time on email and social media recently, except that I see that @ symbol as well.

Maybe that means I've been spending too much time on social media, too!

Don't eat the soap.

Reddit | ronin_cse

Half-awake me could easily take a bite out of a bar of soap while searching for a midnight snack if it looks too much like food.

Thankfully, although this soap and its "dish" looks like a fried egg, it's in the wrong spot to be mistaken for breakfast.

The trick here is that this building is a building, but with a weird orientation.

Reddit | Lolagurl

It looks like it's the exterior of a building, with a quaint little courtyard for residents to gather in, but it's actually the inside of a building.

You can kind of make out the ceiling, which gives it away.

"Puzzle piece looks like Spider-Man."

Reddit | garylucy

I've seen Into the Spider-Verse and there's no reason why a puzzle piece couldn't be one of the gajillion iterations of the mighty web-slinger.

It's metaphorical, too - hasn't Peter Parker always been looking for a way to fit in?

"How this Chocolate stain in the mug looks like a map."

Reddit | xmintyx

Okay, I see Africa on the left, India in the middle, and Asia arching across the top. Yep, it's pretty much all of the Eastern Hemisphere, minus Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia.

Not bad for a bit of dried-on chocolate.

"This broccoli looks like it's dabbing."

Reddit | ddk_soda

I know, it's so five years ago, but that's still not bad for a literal vegetable. And people still dab in pics, right? Or is that just lame dads trying to look cool for their kids?

"This slice of butter looks like a shrimp."

Reddit | Ardcas

It's interesting and possibly more than a little ironic because shrimps are often cooked in butter, to delicious results. And just like that, I'm craving a bucket of seafood.

"The inside of this toaster looks like a space ship interior."

Reddit | Mylifeisoverrated

I wonder if George Lucas knew about this? He did, after all, call Star Wars the most expensive low-budget film ever.

If he'd had such advanced special effects as filming the inside of a toaster at his disposal, well, then he would have had something.

Where there's no smoke, there's no fire.

Reddit | AverageCanadianMale

And that might be the only indication that this building isn't actually engulfed in flames. Instead, a particularly vivid sunset is being reflected off its windows - and seemingly not off of several buildings around it.

"This unplanned bunny in our Easter brownies."

Reddit | blasphomeme

Well, that's just perfect timing for a chocolate bunny. Of course a white rabbit would be running late.

And in my house, I'm not sure the brownies would have lasted long enough for anyone to notice if there was a bunny on top.

"This chip in my window looks a bit like a cat."

Reddit

Not just a bit, though. This looks like a character model for an anime glass cat that accompanies a large-eyed heroine on her quest to save the universe, quipping along the way.

That's how anime works, right?

"Shaving cream that looks like a pit bull head."

Reddit | looneythalostkidd666

It's amazing how specific it can be and still work - not just a dog's head, but a pit bull head in particular. You can totally see the eyes, the ears, and the snout, too. Can't blame this person for grabbing a pic!

"This bird that looks like Danny DeVito."

Reddit | jolteona

Quick, somebody alert Pixar! We need Danny DeTweeto on the big screen, stat! Maybe with a witty glass cat sidekick, I don't know. But this one would be a good draw at the box office, I'm sure.

"This swing looks like Donatello."

Reddit | Aaronator20

It would, without doubt, be the most popular swing on the playground if it was 1991. I feel like the designer might have even been in on the Ninja Turtle craze when they were younger and had it subliminally inform their decisions.

"My cactus plant that looks like the silhouette of a fat cat being arrested."

Reddit | Foxiemama

That's both weirdly specific and oddly...accurate. Of course, with a tail like that we would also accept a beaver under arrest. Not sure what it did, but it looks awfully guilty.

"My sweet potato looks like a sea lion."

Reddit | cheese--girl

That sweet potato couldn't look more like a sea lion if it was balancing a beach ball on its nose. But, unlike a real sea lion, you can make a delicious pie out of it.

"My drink looks like a sunset."

Reddit | MrPoj612

It's not the easiest one of these to see, but if you look in the middle of the glass, you can see make out what looks like a lake with mountains in the background and the sun getting real low.

"These clouds by my house look like a UFO invasion."

Reddit | YoyoColo

I'm not sure that clouds like these didn't inspire some serious UFO hysteria back in the day. As a side note, kind of envious of this person's view from their home. Not bad at all!

"I have a pair of moles, that look like an eyebrow piercing."

Reddit | szlfr

That is some perfect placement, and as a bonus, it's a real money and pain saver. You don't have to shell out a dime or go through the process of a piercing and you end up with the same look.

"My cat sitting on the back of my chair makes it look like she’s wearing a leather jacket."

Reddit | jubjub666

That is a real cool cat, basically straight out of Grease. She's gonna get some treats down at the malt shoppe and run around the house like greased lightning after she poops.

"My schnitzel looks like two gorrilas playing chess on the back of an elephant."

Reddit | Illy_sigelman

Okay, we thought the cat cactus was oddly specific and accurate, and then this popped up. It wouldn't be so strange except that it's there. You can see it. Now, what other kinds of images are people finding in their schnitzels? They could be the new tea leaves for fortune tellers to read!

"The shadow of my keys looks like someone clinging on for dear life."

Reddit | Mikatoic25

Well there's a motivational poster for the 21st century. Instead of a kitty on a wire, literal shadows are having a hard time hanging in there. Don't go anywhere little shadow dude! You've got this!

"My bacon looks like a seahorse."

Reddit | superkirbz13

Unfortunately, looking like a seahorse isn't going to save it because, let's face it, it's bacon. In a burger or a club sandwich, alongside some eggs or on its own, it's going to be eaten. That's the law of the kitchen.

"Our library scanner looks like a Xenomorph."

Reddit | KasoQueso

Just in case you don't know what a xenomorph is, just imagine Sigourney Weaver with a shaved head standing next to this thing. Yeah, you've got it now. Game over man, game over.

"My tankless water heater looks like a bomb you’d see on TV."

Reddit | ki4fkw

Much like the toaster interior, I kind of hope that TV show producers are paying attention. They could save themselves some hours of prop building just by sourcing people with tankless water heaters and maybe adding a couple of road flares for good measure.
