Something has shifted in me lately, and nature is fully to blame. I caught myself just standing there last week staring at a cloud for no reason, just genuinely invested in what it was doing up there. There’s a tree near my house that I basically nod at now when I walk past it. I think I’m becoming one of those people who find a creek soothing and a sunset personally meaningful. At this point, I’ve stopped fighting it.

These nature memes are for everyone else quietly going through the same thing, the ones who’ve started loving a good leaf and are no longer embarrassed to admit it.

My dad is exactly the kind of guy who would see half of these and say “yep” and then tell me a joke I’ve heard before and laugh at it like it’s new. That’s the dad experience from where I’m standing.

These memes are from The Dad Father, an Instagram account that clearly has a toddler at home and is processing it in real time, and even without kids of my own I feel like I understand something fundamental about fatherhood now that I didn’t before.

The post 30 Best Dad Memes From The Dad Father For Anyone Currently Surviving The Toddler Years appeared first on Pleated Jeans.

This gallery rounds up those unintentionally offensive, accidentally racist, and wildly misinterpreted choices—the kind where you laugh first, then slowly realize why you probably shouldn’t have.

Whether it’s signage gone wrong, unfortunate product placements, or visual layouts that clearly weren’t reviewed twice (or at all), these moments are a masterclass in what not to do.

There’s no malice behind them—just a perfect storm of bad design, zero oversight, and a dash of unfortunate timing.

And while we know better, sometimes you have to admit that the mistake is what makes it so memorable.

Scroll through these funny design fails and try not to feel too bad for chuckling.

I’ve got a storm rolling in tomorrow and I’ve checked the radar four times today and I will check it four more times before bed and there’s nothing I’m going to do with any of that information except watch it happen from my balcony like a completely normal Midwesterner who has made peace with the weather.

In the meantime, I’ll be on the couch enjoying Twitter’s funniest thoughts from today.

The post 35 Funniest Tweets Of All Time From Tuesday (June 16, 2026) appeared first on Pleated Jeans.

The post 73 Photos That Look Photoshopped But Aren’t And Will Make You Do A Double Take appeared first on Pleated Jeans.

These mildly infuriating work pics are from people who showed up, tried their best, and had the day decide it wasn’t going to cooperate. Every single one of them is relatable, and they’ll make you feel significantly better about whatever is happening at your desk right now.

1. “Insanely frugal employer”

“Gotta pay for water from the water cooler”

2. “Coworker decided to air out their musty socks and make the entire break room reek.”

3. “I could have parked anywhere at work”

“What did I do to the seagulls to deserve this?”

4. “I’m a slightly squintier than average person, and my work dashcam constantly reminds me”

5. “The way my coworker wraps the cord on the vacuum.”

6. “For the past 4 months, I’ve been drawing on the protective wrapping of my whiteboard.”

“I was struggling so hard to rub out the markers, I had to press extremely hard with my eraser, to the point that I thought I had permanently damaged the writable surface and exposed the layer beneath.

Turns out that I’d actually exposed the real whiteboard and it rubs off like a dream. Four months.”

7. “Poster my boss hung up at work”

8. “Tried to adjust the mirrors in the work van today and the knob snapped right off”

“Our company only had one van available to use for this evening, and I had to make a drop off.

Whoever was using it before me sat way lower in the seat, so the mirrors were looking at the curb from my perspective.

I tried to adjust the mirrors but I gave it one jiggle and the knob snapped off. I think the plastic wore down in the 95° heat the past few days.

To make matters worse the backup camera screen is completely broken, so I’m going to be reversing this thing on a wing and a prayer.

Oh well, I got this lol.”

9. “Got a new job where I have to wear a uniform and gloves while working outside, now I look like this.”

10. “Right as I about to start my handyman job”

“Arrived at my client’s place, open my truck and misc tool box spills out. Had to reorganize nails, screws, and drywall anchors each of its own specific size after the task was done which took almost an hour.”

11. “Bought a nice shirt. Thought I could button it up more for work. Wait…why can’t I get the buttons through the holes??”

“I mean I get annoyed enough with fake pockets, but fake button holes?! It’s so ridiculous. It would have literally taken the people two seconds to make them real. It’s not the biggest deal, but it’s definitely mildly infuriating.”

12. “Started a new job, told them my name is ‘Michelangelo’ and this is the name tag they gave me”

13. “One of my coworkers used their finger to scoop margarine out of the tub”

14. “I’m waiting for the elevator at work after walking the dog, going to the store and taking a bus and then the subway!”

15. “New work laptop no longer has a right CTRL key”

“Now I have to use 2 hands to CTRL+ALT+DEL”

16. “We ordered 100 plastic trims for work, and this is how they were delivered. I can only assume it was someone’s first day.”

“They were all individually packed in tubes that were too short, so some bold visionary used weak tape to put two tubes together. The result, as you can see, is broken trims.

And apparently someone ran out of caps, because on some of them, the end of the tubes were just taped shut.”

17. “When a coworker locks a door that clearly says ‘don’t lock’ and I don’t have a key”

“I guess I’m waiting 30 minutes for security to show up.”

18. “This is all I could see of a tailgater while driving my 5-ton work truck”

19. “My work has a sign posted urging is not to seek medical care”

20. “The customer has to refuse the delivery of the item…”

“I talked to the driver who told the warehouse manager not to load it on his truck in the morning, but the manager made him take it to my house in order for me to refuse the delivery.

He said if I wasn’t home, he would have had to just leave it on street next to the curb and have me deal with trying to get someone to come back and pick it up.

This package went halfway across the country, through multiple facilities in this condition and every one of them just kicked the problem to the next person.

If anyone wants to take on the task of writing the ‘Big Book of Common Sense’ we all desperately need, I’m first to fund you on Kickstarter”

21. “Got my boot caught on on a gate while out doing my job.”

22. “The shelf next to the toilet at my job”

23. “Haven’t missed a single day of work this year and this is all my PTO so far…”

“For reference, I haven’t missed a single day of work this year, I work 7 hours of OT every week (never came to work late once this year), and I took a half day of PTO for a pretty serious health emergency last month.

I also work for a staffing agency and they are notorious for not giving PTO to clients but I’ve worked with them for 5+ years and still had to negotiate a PTO plan with the agency and all my higher ups.

This sucks, I haven’t taken a full day off in over a year and a half, and I can’t fly to London to vacation because flights cost a small fortune due to America’s war crimes messing up the fuel economy around the world. Just all-around terrible.

Am I overreacting? My girlfriend in London gets 25 days off to start the year and here I am slaving away in America for what?”

24. “Coworkers leaving their power bricks on their days off”

“Why don’t people just take their crap home instead of leaving it cluttered on the desk”

25. “Glassdoor said I was making up my salary, because it was too low when I reviewed my employer”

“I always knew my salary was well below most companies paying for the same role. But I’m fully remote so I haven’t complained too much, and it’s more than I’ve ever made.

But as I’m looking to leave ( C-level execs got replaced and now we are a sweatshop) I went to review the current state of my employer, and Glassdoor just decided to slap me in the face with a “‘nuh-uh, you can’t be making that low of a salary, don’t lie to us.’

So it’s good to know that Glassdoor doesn’t have accurate salaries, only market based competitive salaries.”

26. “Coworker is too good to throw away paper towels in trash can”

“I dont get how hard it is to throw it away. The can is 2 feet away.”

27. “New colleague reported me sleeping on my lunch break, lost a whole shift w/ overtime as a result”

“For context, I am a full-time hospital security officer who works graveyard shifts, and I often fall asleep on my lunch break because I can’t consume caffeine like a normal person. I cannot leave my site. There’s an unused place in the old part of the hospital that has virtually no foot traffic from anyone other than fellow security personnel checking the emergency exit door nearby, and I use it to rest in because it’s more comfortable than the break room we have.

Recently, we’ve had a few new hires that joined our team. One of them saw me as I woke up to my alarm, and he advised me that I really shouldn’t sleep there, telling me that the client would probably report me if they ever caught me (they never did care, even when a random client did discover me). I just kind of figured that he was just legitimately concerned for me, but too inexperienced to realize how little anyone really cares. I assured him that it probably was going to be alright, and went back to my post.

This morning, I received this text from my Post Commander telling me to take the night off. I had overtime lined up for me tonight, and I’m going to miss it because of that new guy who was so concerned that the client would report me that he reported me himself.

I understand that we have a no-sleeping policy for a reason, but I think it’s b.s. how I’m being reported for something literally everybody does. I’ve seen nurses sleep in the ICU/Med-Surg waiting rooms, for Christ’s sake, and nobody gave a crap about that when I called my supervisor. The nurse even chewed me out for waking them up, and they didn’t care about that either.”

28. “One coworker took all the snacks meant for the team”

“I went on vacation and bought some snacks for the office. Ideally it’s for everyone over the course of the week because people come in on different days.

When I left on Mon, the tin was still 80% full. Then I come in on Tues and everything’s gone except a single snack.

Turns out one guy just took everything before he left yesterday.”

Threads user wahbananaboy says yes, it would make breathing easier, and he’s not wrong, and also the visual is going to live in my head forever.

He posted it in the Evolution topic on Threads and the internet had thoughts. And they are exactly as unhinged and also somehow logical as you would expect from a thread about nose hole consolidation.

A Few People Skipped The Jokes And Just Answered The Question

The post Guy Asked Why We Can’t Have One Big Nose Hole And These 26 Replies Did Not Disappoint appeared first on Pleated Jeans.

A collection of jokes pulled from two of Reddit’s best joke communities, r/jokes and r/3amjokes, covering everything and nothing in no particular order. Some of them are clever. Some of them are stupid. Some of them are the kind of thing you’d say out loud to someone and then immediately regret and then they’d laugh anyway.

There’s no theme here and that’s the whole point. Just jokes. Just laughs. Just a day that needed a little help and got it.

That’s basically the whole deal over at the Instagram account Wholesome Meets The Internet, which if you’re not following you should be because they’ve been quietly putting out some of the best feel-good content around.

These finds are pulled from the best of what they’ve shared and they are a very good reason to put your phone down after this and then immediately pick it back up to follow them.

The post 35 Funniest Tweets Of All Time From Monday (June 15, 2026) appeared first on Pleated Jeans.

That’s where this guy is, and his attitude about it is the most refreshing thing I’ve read all day. He took the offer. He’s fully remote. And he’s got a perspective on the whole thing that the Reddit comments couldn’t help but get behind.

1. The Situation: A $180k Job That No Longer Exists

2. The Offer: $75k. LOL.

3. The Decision: Better Than Nothing Is Still Something

4. The Silver Lining: Fully Remote And A Good Manager

He put his situation out there and asked if taking the offer was the right move. The response was overwhelming and almost entirely supportive.

People who had been through the same thing, or were currently going through it, showed up with their own experiences and a pretty unified message.

Here’s what the top comments had to say.

5. The Advice: Take It And Keep Looking

6. The Math: Zero Minus Anything Is Still Zero

7. The Reframe: Actually It’s A $75k Raise

8. The Solidarity: You Do What You Have To Do

9. The Reality Check: Rent, Food, And Health Insurance Is The Whole Goal

10. The Long Game: From $150k To $400k After Taking The Step Down

11. The Perspective: From $120k To Mailman And Still Showing Up

The post Exhausted Job Seeker Takes A $105k Pay Cut To Just Have A Job And His Outlook Is Actually Really Refreshing appeared first on Pleated Jeans.

Millennials shared the normal 2000s things that feel strangely luxurious now, and reading through these feels like opening a time capsule from a much cheaper planet.

1.

Not having to pay for a subscription for things like… Microsoft Word? You bought it once and you had it. Everything now is in a subscription format. I hate it.

2.

Hanging out with people who aren’t glued to their phones.

3.

Calling an insurance company or doctors office or something and being greeted by a human on the other line and not a robot.

4.

Appliances lasting 30 years… refrigerator, washer/dryer….

5.

Concerts, sporting events. Used to be somewhat negligible, I was 16 and going to concerts all the time and the ticket price was never something that even factored into whether or not I would attend. Now I’m an adult with way more money than I did at 16 yet concerts are wayyyy more unaffordable for me now than they were back then.

6.

To not have an app that makes every product you buy “work”.

7.

Shopping at thrift stores.

tamborinesandtequila:

Resellers have ruined thrifting. Greed destroys everything on every level.

8.

Owning things. Your home, your music, your software, your media… nowadays you just rent/subscribe and keep paying for everything endlessly all the time without ever owning it. Total scam.

9.

Privacy. Everywhere you go these days someone is filming everything around you. Every one of us is probably on hundreds of other people’s videos, and all of those videos are somewhere in the internet for everyone else to see.

10.

Quality. Things were better made, better quality, and lasted longer. If I got a pair of Levi’s, I knew they’d last forever and I didn’t pay over $50 for them. I didn’t have to watch out for words or phrases that suggested better quality than what they are (leather was leather, hand stitched really meant hand stitched, and you got ice cream and milk chocolate instead of frozen dessert and chocolate candies).

11.

Being able to afford a home.

12.

Not being available to anyone at anytime because I wasn’t obligated to answer my phone because it’s always with me.

13.

Boxing day sales where they were genuinely trying to get rid of stock at real discount prices.

14.

Seat selection included with your regular priced airfare.

15.

Free samples. And free gifts in magazines.

16.

The internet still being locked away to your big robot box at home and not a thing that follows everyone everywhere.

17.

Single income families.

18.

Fast food. Seriously overpriced now.

19.

Affordable third places to hang out.

reddunyun:

See also: affordable first spaces.

20.

Food and rent being affordable. My first 2 bedroom was $750 and it felt like a lot. Packs of Mr. Noodles went on sale for 15 cents. I remember the first time I saw a $1.99 can of tuna in 2008. Housing. Definitely housing. My best friend’s parents bought a 5 bedroom house for $120K in 2001. It’s now up to $750K.

Culturally it was normal to just show up at your friend’s house without calling. It was normal to call your friends without texting to see if they were around first. Now if someone calls without warning it’s like, “Who’s [deceased]?!”

21.

Being able to buy a run down house in a bad area for £45k. Long gone!

22.

Man you used to buy a two year old car with 60-80k on the clock for like, 4 grand.

23.

Going to a concert or show and not staring at a sea of phones and tablets. You can still have that experience in some countries, but definitely not in the US.

Ticketmaster, in your omnipotent greed. I will pay 5x (!!!) the ticket price for a venue where phone/tablets are strictly banned from being in view and the rule is harshly enforced. I rather pay 1000-2000 bucks to see a concert properly, than 200 bucks to stare at screens the whole time.

24.

House parties – who owns a house that wants a house party like the ones we had back then!

25.

Being able to fly with as many suitcases as you wanted with no fee.

26.

Living in the moment… Not capturing it for social media clout.

27.

Haircuts. My folks took me every 6-8 weeks until I was in my teens. I can only afford to get my kids one or two cuts a year total. I haven’t paid to have my hair cut in 8 years, despite desperately wanting to, because I can’t justify the expense.

I live in the city. I work from home. My car barely moves. I’m out here living the lowest impact lifestyle of anyone I know, and the one thing I’m keeping is the AC. People are driving forty-five minutes to an office every day, who come home, open a window, and feel virtuous about it, and I just think that’s interesting. My thermostat is set where it’s set.

These memes are for everyone who has already had this exact internal debate and landed in exactly the right place.

Children haven’t learned yet that you’re supposed to leave lonely people alone. They walk straight toward the quiet ones, the ones the rest of us have politely decided not to bother — and they sit down like it’s the most natural thing in the world.

These are 10 moments (lightly edited by me for readability), told by the people who happened to be standing nearby when it happened. Each one is small. Each one rearranged somebody’s whole week.

1. The weather report

I deliver for a grocery service, and there’s a man on my route — 80s, lives alone, orders the exact same eight things every week. Polite, but he never says more than he has to.

A couple of months ago his little neighbor, maybe six, started meeting me at his gate to “help carry.” She can carry approximately one banana. What she actually does is give him the weather report. Every single time. “It’s going to be cloudy but not the bad kind.”

He waits on the porch for it now. Last week it was pouring and he was still out there, holding an umbrella over the spot where she stands.

2. Seat saved

I manage a community pool. There’s a gentleman who comes to do his slow laps every morning, then sits alone in the same plastic chair drying off before he leaves. Quiet guy. Lost his wife, someone told me.

This summer a boy of about seven started getting to the pool early just to drape a towel over that chair so nobody else would take it. The man has no idea the kid does it. He just thinks his lucky chair is always free.

I’ve started getting there early too, to make sure the towel doesn’t get cleared. We’re running a little conspiracy of three and only one of us knows about it.

3. Two sugars

I run a hardware store in a small town. There’s an old fellow who comes in most days not really to buy anything — he putters down the aisles and leaves. Lonely, I always figured.

A few weeks back a girl came in with her grandad, spotted the man, and announced very seriously that she’d decided he was “the bolts expert.” Now she finds him every visit and asks his opinion on screws and hinges and which glue is best. He has started arriving in a clean shirt. Yesterday he was waiting by the bolts aisle a full hour before they usually come in. He’d brought a little chart he’d drawn for her about different nail sizes.

4. The standing ovation

I drive a city bus. There’s a woman who gets on at the same stop every afternoon, sits at the front, doesn’t talk to anyone.

One day a little boy riding with his mom decided that when she stepped off the bus, he would clap. No reason. Just clapped for her like she’d done something amazing. She looked completely baffled and a bit delighted. Now he does it every time, and half the bus has joined in. She has started timing her errands to ride my afternoon route. She gets a round of applause for getting off a bus.

She told me last week it’s the highlight of her day, and then she got a little teary, and then so did I, frankly.

5. Member of the club

I’m a groundskeeper at a little park. There’s a man who feeds the pigeons on the same bench every morning, the kind of person people walk a wide circle around. A group of kids who play there started a “secret club,” and apparently the first rule of the club is that the bench man is the president. They salute him. They bring him membership cards made of cardboard.

He takes it extremely seriously — returns the salute, inspects the cards. I overheard him telling one of them he’d been “promoted to general.” He keeps every cardboard card in his coat pocket. I know because one fell out once and he nearly took my arm off picking it back up before I could.

6. The understudy

I teach piano out of my front room. My oldest student is 78, started lessons after his wife passed because he said the house got too quiet.

He’s stiff-fingered and stubborn and he was ready to quit by week three. Then my youngest student, who’s eight and waits on the porch for her lesson, heard him through the window struggling with the same four bars. She started clapping when he got it right. Just decided she was his audience.

He didn’t quit. He practices now so he’ll have something to play for her. They’ve never had a real conversation. She just claps, and he just keeps showing up to be clapped for.

7. Return to sender

I work the desk at a small-town post office. There’s a widower who comes in every week to mail nothing in particular — buys one stamp, asks how I’m doing, leaves. He just wants somewhere to go.

A few months ago a boy started mailing him letters. From three houses away. With real stamps the kid clearly saved up for. They say things like “how is your day” and “my favorite dinosaur is the stegosaurus, what is yours.” The man writes back.

He comes in now with genuine mail to send, and he’s stopped buying the single sad stamp, and he asked me last week, very casually, whether I thought a stegosaurus or a triceratops would win in a fight, because he wanted to “get it right.”

8. The taste tester

I own a little corner café. An elderly woman used to come in, order tea, and sit by herself looking out the window like she was waiting for someone who wasn’t coming. Then one of my regulars’ daughters — about five — appointed herself the café’s “official taster” and decided this woman was her co-taster. They sample the day’s muffin together and rate it out of ten, very solemnly, holding up fingers.

The woman comes every day now. She and the girl have strong shared opinions about blueberry versus banana. I made a tiny paper crown that says HEAD TASTER and gave it to the girl, and she immediately announced they’d have to share custody of it, one day each.

9. Three doors down

I’m a dog walker. One of the houses on my street belongs to a man who waves at the dogs but never at the people — keeps to himself, garden a bit overgrown, you know the type.

His neighbor’s kid, around nine, figured out which dog was his favorite (a big daft golden named Biscuit) and started asking me to “do the slow walk past his house” so the man got extra Biscuit time. Then the kid started knocking to ask if the man wanted to come along. He said no for a while. Now he comes most days. He’s wearing proper walking shoes. His garden’s looking better too.

Biscuit, for the record, is thrilled with himself and takes full credit.

10. Save me a dance

I volunteer at a community hall that runs a Sunday tea dance for older folks.

There’s a man who’s come alone every week for as long as anyone remembers — he sits at the side and never dances, because he used to dance with his wife and now he doesn’t dance at all.

A few weeks ago someone brought their granddaughter, maybe seven, and she marched right over and asked him to teach her to waltz. He said he couldn’t. She said that was fine, she couldn’t either, so they’d be even. He got up. He hasn’t sat out a Sunday since. They’re terrible. They count out loud and step on each other and laugh the whole time. It’s the best thing in that room by a mile.

A nobler choice.

I closed the blinds, told the sun to mind its business, and parked myself in front of the timeline for 48 straight hours so I could bring you the funniest tweets the weekend had to offer.

The patio furniture went unused. The grill stayed cold. Three separate people texted “we should hang out” and I left them on read because duty was calling, and duty’s name was The For You Page.

I did this for you. I scrolled until my thumb cramped and my eyes went dry, sifting through the slop to find the absolute gold. So go ahead, stay inside a little longer.

The weather’s not going anywhere, but these tweets are worth it. You’re welcome.

The post 25 Bite-Sized Nostalgia Tweets Full Of Forgotten Childhood Lore appeared first on Pleated Jeans.

So when I stumbled across Matt McCarthy‘s giant cats, I knew I had to share them with you.

McCarthy is an American digital artist who took a thought every cat owner has had—that our feline overlords already act like they run the place—and ran with it, literally.

Across a long-running series of meticulous digital collages, he imagines a world where cats aren’t curled up on the couch but looming over it all: dwarfing buildings, sprawling across beaches, swallowing whole city blocks beneath a single paw.

What makes the series sing is how well he knows his subject.

A lifelong cat lover, McCarthy builds each piece on behavior any cat person will recognize instantly: the bottomless curiosity, the stubborn independence, the strategic laziness, the need to investigate absolutely everything.

Blown up to monumental scale, those everyday quirks turn gloriously absurd. A curious cat peeking over a skyline becomes something out of a monster movie. An ordinary afternoon nap becomes a neighborhood-stopping event.

This is exactly the kind of work I started this post to celebrate—imaginative, technically sharp, and unmistakably made by someone who cares.

The post “Giant Cat Takeover” — 67 Surreal Digital Collages From This Talented Artist appeared first on Pleated Jeans.

The point is, every place has something like this. Some city or town or country that looked around and made a choice that nobody’s been able to explain since fully.

These monuments are from an r/AskTheWorld thread asking people what ugly or useless attractions their country is stuck with and the answers are from all over the world and every single one of them is completely believable.

“Does your country have an ugly/useless monument or attraction?”

1. The Headington Shark in Headington, Oxford

“It was installed by local radio DJ Bill Heine. He installed it without planning permission and there was 20 year war of letters.

Now the council has recognised it as a local landmark.”

2. This green, 79-foot-tall inflatable sculpture by artist Paul McCarthy is titled “Tree” and was installed in Paris’s Place Vendôme in 2014.

“Behold!”

While officially intended to be an abstract representation of a Christmas tree, the installation drew intense controversy and media attention for its strong resemblance to an adult toy.

3. Vancouver House is a 59-story neo-futurist residential skyscraper in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG)

“This building in Vancouver is my personal vote. It just looks to me like an extra heavy gust of wind would knock it over…”

4. Jimmy Carter Peanut Statue in Plains, Georgia

“This monstrosity”

5. “Santa Claus” created by American artist Paul McCarthy. Located in the Eendrachtsplein square in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

“Supposed to be santa claus.”

6. “The Sphere in Las Vegas”

“A 516ft/157m wide emoji”

7. Glasgow Tower in Glasgow, Scotland.

“Glasgow tower. The world’s tallest, fully rotating tower. £10m. Doesn’t work. Never open. Sometimes goes on fire.”

8. The Big Pineapple located in Woombye, Queensland, Australia

Actual-Associate-808:

That’s actually pretty awesome.

9. The infamous Cisewu tiger statue, which stood in front of an Indonesian military base in West Java.

“Our beloved”

10. 70-foot-tall golden statue of Lionel Messi holding the World Cup trophy in Kolkata, India

“We recently erected this 70 ft statue of Lionel Messi.

It was unveiled during his 3 day tour to India on which $36 million were reportedly spent.

Meanwhile, our national football team continues to suffer from a lack of public support, infrastructure and funds due to corruption.”

11. “Moonrise. East. November” by artist Ugo Rondinone, a large smiling head sculpture positioned on a city staircase in Oslo, Norway.

This nightmare fuel.

12. Kirkkojärvi lake fountain in Haapavesi, Finland

“A town elected to build a fountain for 10k, this was the result.

After corruption discussions it achieved meme status and people travel to see how small it is.”

13. The Žižkov Television Tower in Prague, featuring the famous “Crawling Babies” sculptures by artist David Černý.

“Thanks I hate it”

14. The “Rotonda de los Pavos” (Roundabout of the Peacocks) located in Jaén, Spain

Roundabout of the Peacocks, Jaén.

15. This is the 11.5-meter tall “Seeding” sculpture by artist Linda Bakke, located in Stange, Norway.

“11.5-meter tall … in Stange, paid for with taxpayer money of course.”

16. Controversial bronze monument to Peter the Great located in the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg, Russia

“Shemyakin’s Peter the Great statue. The proportions are like he’s from a yaoi manga”

17. Baleia B32, a 20-meter-long metal whale sculpture located at the B32 Theater on Faria Lima Avenue in São Paulo, Brazil

“On São Paulo’s Faria Lima Avenue, often called the Brazilian equivalent of Wall Street, a large office building installed a quirky whale sculpture on its façade.

This Christmas, they topped it with a festive hat that ended up looking a bit suspicious.”

18. The Ämmän Päre environmental artwork located in Suomussalmi, Finland.
