32 Disturbing Photos That Look Like Real-Life Glitches In The Matrix

I used to roll my eyes whenever someone brought up that “we’re living in a simulation.” Like, maybe lay off the Reddit threads and energy drinks. But then I saw a few of these photos and… I don’t know, man. Suddenly, it doesn’t seem that far-fetched. Some of this stuff looks like the universe lagged out for a second.

These are the kind of pics that make you squint at your screen and go, “Wait, what?” They’re not horror-movie scary, but they definitely give off “something’s not right here” energy. Whether it’s a glitch, a coincidence, or just your brain short-circuiting trying to make sense of things, one thing’s for sure; these moments feel like reality forgot how to be reality.
