Cursed Camouflage

found on Dump A Day

Yes, you can definitely disguise one inappropriate thing as another inappropriate thing, but when people eventually realize what they were staring at they're going to hate themselves.

Can You Spot The Imposter?


Watch on YouTube

Blink and you'll miss it, but those aren't all sheep. There's one good boy who can blend in quite well. Hopefully he uses that ability to help protect the sheep by sneaking up on predators.

If you succeeded, you're prepared to go look for anomalies in your network traffic or host intrusion detection system.

Can you spot the big cat?

found on Izismile

Hiding in plain sight has benefits for both attackers and defenders. That's why nature is full of examples of camouflage.

There's more than one way to blend in

found on Piximus

Emerson said that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, and few things demonstrate that better than what passes for camouflage. The camouflage pattern that you normally associate with the military is used on so many things that it's become a joke. That's why it's good to be reminded sometimes that there are other ways of achieving that particular effect.

This is what passes for camouflage in space?

found in Izismile

I would say camouflage isn't rocket science, but apparently it's even more complicated if they can't figure out how to blend in with the stars.

Quick! Try to blend in!

found on Acid Cow

The people who are better at blending in to the background don't have to do as much work, so you could say there's an evolutionary advantage to being able to camouflage yourself even in the retail environment.

It's camouflage time

from here and here (image source)

Camouflage doesn't always have to mean that splotchy green and tan pattern, it can be anything if it blends in well, and this watch background definitely does that. It could also serve as a means to verify the owner should the watch ever get lost. I don't think most people are quite that hairy.

Nobody here but us branches

found on eBaum's World


Camouflage is a countermeasure that works both for defense and attack. Predators can't find you and prey don't see you until it's too late and they've walked right into your ambush.

Everything has a weakness. Even military grade camouflage.

The Camouflage Diet (you can't eat what you can't find)

found on Izismile

Even the caption on this picture blends in a bit, so if you missed it, there's a cracker pictured above. See if you can find it (and the caption)

Who's gonna tell him?

found on Izismile

On the one hand, the bear is very clearly not blending in well enough to hide from a predator. On the other hand, his only predator is man, who would be hunting him with a gun, and while the cat and owl may be concealed, the bear has at least partial cover.

They won't ever make your butt look big

Little did anyone know that it wasn't actually camouflage pants but rather a portal belt.

How the fourth little pig dealt with that big bad wolf

from here and here (image source)

I'm tempted to name them Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snack, but it looks like those little piglets aren't actually on the menu.

No one will think to look under there

found on Imgur

On the plus side, it is very close to the same colour as the mat, so you might argue that it legitimately is blending in. However, considering the relative sizes, I think it would be more accurate to say the door mat is blending into the package rather than the other way around.

Anything small enough to convincingly hide under the door mat would be better off going through a mail slot or going into a mail box. If you want to stop porch pirates from stealing something that big, trying to hid it isn't a good option.

Disappointing first visit to a concrete "jungle"

from here (image source)

If you want to blend in and go unnoticed, it's important to do some reconnaissance beforehand so that you know how to dress the part.

Scan it if you can

This is literally supposed to be a camouflaged photo, but there aren't many things that pattern is going to blend into.

Camouflage can be a good way to lose your lunch

On the other hand, it could be handy for weight loss.

Just have to be stealthier than the guy next to you

found on Izismile

Similar to the old adage about only having to be faster than the guy next to you when trying to outrun a bear, but in this case it's the one that blends in better that has the advantage.

(The original photo, sans caption, appears to have come from this Reddit post, at least according to The Dodo)

Uhh... Who's going to tell him?

found on Funny Junk

I'm certainly not going to tell that bear that he's not blending in. Let the cat do it.

Camouflage Mailbox Cover

I suppose this is one way to avoid bills, however avoiding bills might not be a great idea.
