This thread is literally my favourite ever.

Was pretty sure they were but there's quite a few earlier posts that aren't visible anymore so I thought I'd get them back in.

So why do we see faces in everything anyway?
Pareidolia (pronounced /pærɪˈdoʊliə/ pa-ri-DOE-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records played in reverse. The word comes from the Greek para- – "beside", "with", or "alongside"—meaning, in this context, something faulty or wrong (as in paraphasia, disordered speech) and eidōlon – "image"; the diminutive of eidos – "image", "form", "shape". Pareidolia is a type of apophenia.

It's simple , our cowardly ancestors thought they saw faces in everything around them. It kept them on their toes so they stuck around longer and reproduced more, thus replicating the trait.

If evolution happened that is.
