Have you ever experienced a glitch in the matrix? A glitch in the matrix is when you witness something that you cannot explain away with logic. Glitches can be illusions, freakishly similar duplicates, objects, people, and animals being out of place or parts of our world that seem to be “broken.” Do these glitches prove we are all just living in a simulation or can logic explain them away every time? The answer is up to you, but these glitches will make you second guess your answer.
Here are 70 photos that will leave you wondering if we truly do live in a matrix.
1. Wrong Spot
The flame of this candle is nowhere near the wick. This candle’s glitch needs to be fixed quick before the flame goes anywhere else. Get back to the wick or blow it out!
2. Take A Seat
This bird was able to find a seat in the middle of the sky. He is perched and chilling but how? The only explanation seems to be the matrix having a bit of a mix up.
3. Perfect Reflection
Everyone hopes to see a reflection of themselves and for it to look better than you really do. This bike’s tire magically had it happen. The tire is bent and flat at the bottom but the reflection is showing what the bike’s tire could look like in peak condition.
4. Four In One
This is not four separate pictures put together in a collage. This is one photograph that will leave you with many questions. For one, how did everything line up so perfectly?
5. Blending In
This cat needs to be careful on the hardwood floor. It’s fur coat will camouflage her right into the floor. It’s like the fur and floor are one in the same.
6. Planted Man
This man seems to have glitched halfway into the cement walkway. He is having a bad day in his simulation and his creator needs to get him upright and above ground.
7. Escape Portal Found
A puddle on a rock has everyone questioning if it really is a portal into another universe. There would be only one way to find out and that would be to try and go through it. Good luck traveler.
8. Glitch Girls
These three girls are messing with their fellow classmate’s heads. Did the matrix glitch and accidentally bring the same three girls to the one class without realizing it?
9. Disappearing iPhone
This iPhone seems to be slowly disappearing in the cupholder. Someone needs to bring this phone fully back to the simulation. If there is one thing that is true in our world it is that most of us cannot live without our phones, they cannot just disappear on us.
10. Malfunctioning Sky
The sky seems to have malfunctioned and someone needs to figure out what pop up window is trying to tell us. This was seen from the side of a road late at night and had many puzzled over how it came to be floating in the sky.
11. Dissolving Cat
The dog is looking at its owner like “are you seeing this?” The owner and dog are slowly watching the cat dissolve in front of their eyes. The dog might be happy about it but the owner sure won’t be.
12. Multiverses Combining
If Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse taught us anything it is that parallel universes can be occurring without us knowing it. These two parents know that it is happening though with their combined pictures. Each person is in a separate car, time, place, and picture but the two pictures line up as if they were together. Spooky!
13. Simulation Labels
This is The Sims come to life. Hover over the object, person, or in this case animal and it’s name will appear. Someone has hovered over him and labelled him correctly with “dog.”
14. Rainbow Glitch
We have heard and seen double rainbows but not eight rainbows at once. This mega rainbow glitch brought 8 rainbows all in different directions. Someone should have been able to find at least one pot of gold from these rainbows.
15. UPS Confusion
Two UPS trucks have combined to make one mega UPS truck. The photographer of glitch did not trust these two UPS trucks and was waiting for something bad to happen. Nothing bad did happen but the fear of the matrix collapsing was real.
16. Floating Woman
The lady with the invisible legs would make any person do a double take. Everyone standing next to her, but with her sitting on the ledge, makes the matrix illusion even more real.
17. Partially Rendered Trees
This area of the matrix has not completely rendered yet. The person who took the photo stated,
“Sizable glitch in the matrix this afternoon which caused trees to only be partially rendered.”
18. Rock Malfunction
The placement of the rock within the existing bench seems a bit backwards. Normally a man made object is created around nature but this rock seems to have grown out of the bench. That is one powerful rock to mess with the matrix.
19. Missing F
The shadow from the sign “coffee” is missing one of the letter f’s. Where did it go? Peter Pan needs to go find that shadow f before it goes to far away from its rightful place.
20. Droste Effect
If you look at the books the students are holding, they are holding the book they are actually on. This type of illusion is called the Droste effect.
“An image exhibiting the Droste effect depicts a smaller version of the image within itself in a recursive manner. In theory, the picture in picture effect continues deeper into the picture ad infinitum,” Web Designer Depot explains.
21. Buffering Building
The building might look like it is fully created but it might still be in the buffering period. The top three levels look as if there is only one wall to them. We have to wait for this building to finish loading.
22. Lemon?
Meet the lemon of all lemons. This lemon was homegrown in someone’s backyard. This lemon got the wrong coding because it is all kinds of messed up.
23. Same Plane
Reading a book on a plane is a great way to kill time on a flight. Yet, reading about the actual plane and departure location that you were currently on would be a bit worrisome. Hopefully their flight was just like the one in the book, “without any problems.”
24. Where’s The Loop?
Cords always get tangled up so most would not second guess seeing a loop shadow from a cord. This looped shadow is coming from a straight cord though. Where is the loop that the shadow is being casted from?
25. Sky Lights
Someone turned on their sky lights, literally in the sky. The reflection from the window had everyone in the room wondering what was happening in the sky. It’s time to turn off those lights and stop questioning the simulation we all might be in.
26. Boat Wall
No, that is not a wall with toy boats. It is a bunch of actual boats in the ocean. One confusing perspective could have people questioning the matrix quickly. They do say life is all about perspective.
27. Blurry Ham
The creator of the simulation needs to bring these slices of ham back into focus and get rid of the blur. No one wants to eat blurry ham, that does not sound appetizing at all. We want our food completely in focus with every bite.
28. Perfect Timing
Some glitches are all about timing, just like this one. These two cars driving side by side demonstrate the perfect timing. Not all glitches have to be worrisome, some are just funny.
29. The Clif
The cliff from the Clif Bar has been found. Is there packaging just artwork or was it realistically based off of this very precise cliff? Whatever the answer is, this picture was kismet.
30. Paw Prints
This little buddy was given a paw print on his paw. It is almost as if the dog was kissed by a doggie angel and left with this birth mark. If that is not the answer, maybe Blue the dog just found a clue.
31. Do You Believe?
If there was ever a time to believe in signs, this would be it. The sign states “I want to believe” and the sunlight is confirming that belief. Beam me up, Scotty.
32. Hard As A Rock
This loaf of bread is hard as a rock. Literally, because it is a rock. If someone tried to take a bite out of this rock/bread look a like they will soon be missing some teeth.
33. Scars Vs. Sweat
He found out that his scars would not sweat like the rest of his body when working out. This would be one glitch that could be a blessing in the long run. Less sweat, less worry.
34. Clipping Through The Floor
These students did not say a word when it seemed as if their professor was clipping through the floor. Instead they took a picture for proof. If there is no picture, there is no proof. This student made the right choice.
35. Sky Turned On
Who turned the sky on? It’s nighttime and not the right time for the light to be seen in the sky. Someone better turn it off before others witness it too.
36. Palmistry
Was this person a leaf in another life? The veins from the leaf and lines from the hand match up perfectly. The odds to find that one leaf seems near impossible but it happened. May the odds be ever in this person’s favor.
37. Two Grapes In One
This is the perfect glitchy grape for the indecisive. Unsure if you feel like a green or red grape, well you get a bit of both! It is perfectly split in half too.
38. UFO’s Are Coming
Earlier the matrix pushed us to believe in UFO’s. Now they are showing it through the clouds. This cloud is the perfect UFO hovering over houses.
39. Triple Banana
Banana on steroids is what this is. A triple banana was glitched into our simulation and one lucky person was able to eat it. Yummy, yummy!
40. Broccoli Tree
Trees and broccoli are supposed to be two very separate objects. Yet, a glitch occurred and accidentally mixed the two up. The result: a giant broccoli tree.
41. Glitching Building
This building is still downloading into the simulation. Please give it a bit more time as the internet is running slow. Therefore, we are all witnesses to the glitchy building while it loads.
42. Cheat Code
There had to be some type of cheat code for a pink grasshopper to be created. Whatever that code is, we are going need access to it. That way we can all make any object the color of our choosing.
43. Rippling Sky
These rippling clouds have created an illusion of the sky itself rippling. The world is upside down when the sky looks like the rippling waves of the ocean. What a pretty sight to behold.
44. Too Perfect
When areas of the world look too perfect, this can seem like a glitch too. There is nothing that is perfect in life, but these trees are doing there best to reach perfection.
45. Fading Away
The file cabinet has been fading away in the corner. If someone does not use it soon, it might completely disappear from our simulation. Hopefully there are not important files in there.
46. Never Ending Hallway
The combination of lighting and carpet has this hallway looking as if it never ends. Thankfully, there are not little twin girls at the end holding hands. This hallway is creepy enough without adding in full on fear.
47. The Floating Man
His fashion choices might be questionable but he can float. So, he wins at life over many others. This glitch has a man being able to rest his feet while still standing.
48. Mini Dog
No, there is not two dogs in this picture. There is only one doggy and one of his paw’s that forms into a mini-doggy. He has a little twin without even realizing it, but we do.
49. The Cat Glitch
This glitch needs to be fixed ASAP. This poor kitty looks as if she has glitched into being a part of the building’s wall. It is a great view for a curious cat but nerve-wracking for everyone else.
50. Albino Fly
We have seen pink grasshoppers and now we get to witness an albino fly. It’s clear wings also seem to create a very unimpressed face. It’s wings might be unimpressed but we definitely impressed with this glitch.
51. Rainbow Colors
Have you ever seen rainbow cheese before? If you haven’t, you never get to say that again. The sunlight against the window made his cheese turn into rainbow colors.
52. Dementor’s Kiss
Dementors are one type of creatures that need to stay in their own alternate universe. 2020 has brought on enough problems, we do not need to add glitching dementors trying to kiss our souls away. This woman had a close encounter in this picture.
53. Double Glitch
The creator of this toilet did not seem to realize a seat had already been provided. This “double glitch” is a waste of a seat and probably makes restroom visitors try another stall first. No one wants to use the glitchy toilet.
54. Pixelated Shadows
The shadow is very pixelated in this picture. The simulation needs to increase the shadow resolution to be rid of how pixelated it looks. The object is not pixelated but its shadow has a mind of its own it would seem.
55. Five Legs
Is this frog’s extra leg a glitch or a mutation? The frog looks like a normal frog. Well, except for the extra leg sticking out of its belly.
56. Thumbs Up
In school students learn that opposable thumbs are what differentiates between primates from other animals. This cat was born with opposable thumbs. She was not coming into the simulation without being her own cat primate species.
57. Split View
This picture might be of one river but it still has our brains thinking it looks like two completely separate photos. The perfect split between the middle, by the clouds, creates an illusion that the picture is a collage of the same place at differing times.
58. Reflection Glitch
The TV and the TV’s reflection are of two different scenes. It must have been a weird moment for the photographer to realize the same TV was showing two different parts.
59. The Truman Show Sunset
This sunset looks like it came straight out of the movie The Truman Show. It does not seem natural at all, but rather a forced turning off the lights from a production team. Is our world just one larger sized Truman Show?
60. So Fresh And So Clean
If I told you this was a black car would you believe me? Well, it unbelievably true.
“This black car looks like a mirror after being washed,” the Redditor explained.
61. Erasing The Building
If you were a child in the 1990s than you know the hours spent on Microsoft Paint. Life was simple and easy back then, just like the Microsoft program. This building seems to be created by MS Paint and someone is currently using the eraser function.
62. One Dimensional
Science has debunked the world being flat. Yet, it has not debunked this building seeming to be flat. Someone give this building more dimension!
63. Planets Colliding
This looks like a planet has come so close to Earth that they might collide. The rainbow also being present only adds to the interest aura it creates. Luckily, this glitch can be explained by the reflection of the steering wheel inside the car.
64. Clone Bus
If three clone like girls in one classroom seemed like a glitch, then a bus full of duplicates must be a mega glitch. The rider on this bus was stumped by all the passengers looking exactly the same. Some are even wearing the same outfits too.
65. Two Faced
The dog’s ear makes it seem as if he has two faces. We aren’t being metaphorical, he seems as if a second face has been created from his ear. When it comes to his personality, he only has one face, a sweetheart doggy.
66. Matching Pattern
Glitches can occur in our fashion world too. This woman found her shirt had the same pattern as the box of tissues. She is matching with her glitch on that day.
67. Caterpillar Penguins
Penguins are not born from caterpillars but this caterpillar is sure representing them. The caterpillar has little baby penguins throughout the length of her body. Will the penguins still be there when she turns into a butterfly?
68. Merging Dogs
A “merge” function can be a lifesaver in the technical and digital worlds. It is not a lifesaver in the simulation world. It would seem as if someone had merged these two dogs one morning with no explanation.
69. Appearing Ads
This simulation is brought to you by Burger King, apparently. The floating Burger King sign seems as if advertisements are officially everywhere, even the sky. The simulation must be expensive to need sponsors.
70. Doppelgänger Found
Doppelgängers will always be a weird glitch within our world. How can the same face appear multiple times in history? It’s a weird glitch that will always leave you with more questions. This man stumbled upon his doppelgänger from the 1500s while touring a museum.
