Things That Look Like Other Stuff

We should not get as excited as we do when we see an eggplant that looks like a dude's face. But we do. We do so hard.

Maybe it's because people really want to believe that the things around them have thoughts and feelings. Like the ability to talk to your eggplant and ask it how its doing is something we still pine for. But until the day that science invents an eggplant that doesn't feel excruciating pain when sliced into pieces, covered in parmesan and baked at 350 degrees, we'll have to settle on our eggplants being quizzically silent.

Or maybe the reason we see faces in things is because we're constantly looking for predators, and it's evolutionarily better for us to freak out when we see a bag that looks like a tiger, just to have our bases covered.

Whatever the reason, it's nice to imagine for a second that the inanimate objects we interact with on a daily basis have something nice to say. Or maybe they'd be mean. Only one way to find out, science.

Here are some moreinanimate objects with a whole lot of personality.
