Pareidolia is a fascinating phenomenon that says a lot about how our brains and minds work in ways we don't even realize.

A psychological phenomenon, pareidolia is simply when our brains form a pattern for us. We can see something that isn't there, something familiar, like a face, an object, or a shape. We see it in food, signs, metal, clouds, pavement, anywhere. Patterns are all around us and our minds are simply trying to make sense of it all for us.

I guess if we had to actively think about it all the time we might go a little insane?
