Have you ever sat down and wondered why we can detect faces in ordinary items around us? Well, researchers at the University of Sydney discovered that human beings tend to notice faces in everyday objects that surround us.
Not just that, it was also discovered that rather than dismissing them as false identifications, our brains actually break them down for emotional expression just like the real human faces we see every day are processed. The said peculiarity was therefore given the name "facial pareidolia", and that is what we’re looking into today.
You know, when something almost identical happens and we spot a face in different objects, we will often take photos of the said objects. With that in mind, the Bored Panda community decided to share their take on the subject, and the results are outstanding.
There’s the cloud that can just about shape anything you can think of, including majestic animals. There’s a cucumber slice that has the happiest face you’ve ever seen with regards to fruits.
There’s a cute little baby potato, and yes, there are angry bell peppers as well. So we’ve gathered 30 of the best replies to this topic, so keep scrolling to see the funny faces that everyday objects around you can make.
