If you ever see an inanimate object staring at you, don’t worry; it’s part of a human experience called pareidolia, a psychological phenomenon that causes people to see faces in everyday things such as clouds, stains, or toast. We inherited this instinct from our ancestors to protect ourselves, as it is safer to assume there is a face even where there is none.

Imagine a prehistoric man pondering if a rustle in the bushes really is a tiger; it’s better for him to assume it is and escape, avoiding the risk of becoming dinner. It seems that everyone is just looking for a warm and welcoming presence. A Facebook group called “Things that look like faces” has shared many mundane objects with eyes and lips that we think you’ll enjoy.
