15 Images You Won't Believe Aren't Photoshopped

It's hard to be amazed by anything you see online, when you know any teenager with a computer and a pirated copy of Photoshop can cobble together a fake photograph in minutes.

Unfortunately this means there's a whole bunch of jaw-dropping pics that the internet declared "FAKE!" the moment they appeared. But as it turns out, some of the most baffling of them are, in fact, real.

#15.
The Machine Apparently Made to Saw the World in Half

What appears to be some normal-sized machine cropped and pasted onto a skyline is actually a gigantic machinized monstrosity designed for excavation by some Germans. Those things that look like saw teeth big enough to cut down the Empire State Building are actually buckets, each of which could pretty much scoop up your whole house.

If this thing's secretly a transformer, we're screwed.

#14.
Macaroni Push-Pop

Yes, this push-pop made of "Macaroni & Cheese in Chili Sauce With Beef" is very real, part of a "convenience meets nausea" movement to provide your favorite foods on the go in a microwaveable, cardboard tube. Scrambled eggs are also available.

Here's a tip for all you potential consumers: if you want macaroni and cheese so badly that you're willing to eat it in a push pop, you have an illness and need to reach out to a professional.

#13.
"AAAAARRGGHH! EDDIE MURPHY HEAD!"

This giant, terrifying Eddie Murphy head that looks like a badly photoshopped and probably racist 4chan meme, was actually part of an enormous bust they were building to promote the movie, Meet Dave.

Incidentally, the only thing that would scare us more than driving next to Axl Foley's humongous noggin on the highway is being forced to see the movie.

#12.
Giant Table or Tiny Bicyclist?

This humongous table and chair is a sculpture in England. The artist wanted to build a monument to the privacy and loneliness of writing. And by that we assume he means the loneliness of being a writer who is also a giant that eats passing bicyclists.

#11.
"Do You See Those Letters, Uh, Floating There?"

Yes, if you stand in this spot in the parking garage shown in the photo, the word "DOWN" is just floating there. The sign was designed by an artist who won an award for it, because there are apparently awards for making innovative signage in parking garages.

He created the effect of continuous letters by adjusting the angles for appropriate perspective as they reached walls, just like in those incredible chalk sidewalk drawings that are all over the web.

These sorts of illusions are great when they appear on sidewalks, and probably much less entertaining when you ram straight into the wall of this Wile E. Coyote-inspired parking garage after swerving to avoid the giant DOWN sign that materialized in midair in front of your car.

#10.
If You Look Past The Unsettlingly Tiny Speedo, You'll See a Huge Freaking Airliner

This apparent disaster-waiting-to-happen is on the Island of St. Maarten. The airport has a particularly short runway that ends just 40 feet from beach, leaving large planes just barely enough room to land. So they have to come in low, directly over the beach, making it a prime destination for an afternoon of quiet, relaxing sunbathing.

Cracked Travel Tip: In St. Maarten you should always give a nice gratuity to the guy driving the boat before he takes you parasailing.

#9.
"We're Moving. It's the Crab's House, Now."

Holy crap, look at that thing. We were hoping that was just a tiny trash can but, no, it's a coconut crab, which is the biggest arthropod that lives on land.

We like how they chose the innocuous name "coconut crab" to describe something that can only be killed with a flamethrower. If these things were called "Skull Crabs" or "Under Your Bed Crabs" mankind would have declared war on them long ago.

#8.
A Splotch From God's Paintbrush

This Mark Rothko-looking blotch of color is the Grand Prismatic Spring, which supposedly gets its colors from bacteria that grow around the water.

Since this explanation seems far too simple for something so brilliant, we'll go ahead and assume it's really an alien spacecraft landing site being covered up by the government.

#7.
If Dogs Played Major League Baseball

This cartoonish muscle-dog is Wendy, a whippet with a genetic disorder causing ridiculous muscular growth.

While Wendy's condition is sure to have many medical applications to various muscle development disorders, we're still hoping Disney casts her as the bad guy in Air Bud 4.

#6.
"Damn Kids!"


Taken by Kevin O'Mara

At first sight, this appears to be a home improvement project that accidentally tapped into Stephen Hawkings' most abstract theories on space and time. But then you notice that the kid who is right next to the portal to another dimension isn't disintegrating into millions of pieces, or even looking up from his goddamn cellphone.

So it must be a photoshop right? Wrong again. The Inversion House is an art project that answers the pressing question: what would your neighbor's place look like if it was sucked through a straw in the Looney Tunes universe? The answer is pretty cool, though apparently not nearly as cool as whatever 13 year-olds are texting each other these days.

hhahaha priceless article. f*****g crazy photos man. That crab thing is an optical illusion though. Max length of coconut crabs are 40cm, that trash can must be really small, because for me an average trash bin size like those ones are like a meter high. Oh and i lived in Tokyo for the most part of my life and I can vouch on those fucked up pizzas... i tasted em... not that different from american pizza. still nasty though. Hilarious!

I live in the area the monster machine #15, which we call "Schaufelradbagger", is operating.

In the past Years these things digged unbelievable big holes in our landscape, which was once flat and is now dominated by big, and by "big" i mean "big", hills.

Hell, they bought whole villages and communities, razed them to dig for coal and build their former inhabitants NEW villages.

They even plan to move the A4, an Autobahn with massive traffic, so they can dig there.

This Year, the village of Pier is going to be razed. Its scary to walk there because ITS AN ENTIRE VILLAGE NO ONE LIVES IN ANYMORE.

You can see the Holes in google Earth between Aachen and Cologne from an Altitude of 1000 Kilometers.

In a Village nearby, Kirchberg, you can hear the machines digging nearer every night.

Transformers aren´t nearly as frightening or awesome as these things. Mostly because they are smaller and not capable of the amount of destruction the schaufelradbagger provides.

About the crab being harmless.
I wonder if the has been some drunk tourist out there that decided it would be really cool to stick his head between the crabs claws?

Regarding the crab. They are indeed harmless. I used to live in Guam and play around them. A) they are slow as molasses and B) they mostly eat fruits and coconuts. That's what the massive claw is for - to break open coconuts.

We had one that hung out in my G'ma's yard that we'd bring coconuts and put a pan under the claw to catch the juice when the shell broke. We let it have the meat - it's favourite part.

God help us if they ever become fully carnivorous though. I once saw one catch and eat a rat. *shudders*

Getting them to honour the 'Arrive at Your House Hot (pizza, not the delivery guy) or 15% Off Your Next One' is going to be difficult in Toronto...

What many may not realise is international fast-food franchises may have differences in menu in different countries. For example: Malaysian McDonald's also serve fried chicken and chicken porridge, as well as really hot chilli sauce. And Indian McDonald's have lamb burger or something.

How much to deliver an exotically-topped Malaysian pizza to Toronto? Sounds delicious!

And it's free if it's not here in 30 min.?

That pizza is in Malaysia too, but come in more standard pizza varieties. I tastes pretty much like a pizza should taste, so no worries. That one is in Japan, though, so who knows......

BTW, Malaysian Pizza Hut also have more exotic toppings like satay (barbecued beef chunks with cucumber cubes and spicy peanut sauce), masala (Indian spices and chicken) and Tom Yam (spicy thai soup flavour, with shrimp).
