Ambiguity is inevitable. So when people run into it in everyday life, they often rely on their own assumptions, prior experience, or personal biases to fill in the gaps.

Found an anonymous "Thank You" note on the fridge? It's probably your partner expressing gratitude for the lunch you prepped them and not the ghost living under the bed. Noticed an abandoned umbrella in the park? Probably some absent-minded romantic left it there, and not Mary Poppins.

But too few cues can lead to confusion, a notion that the Facebook group 'Please, may I have a Crumb of Context?' successfully illustrates again and again, as its members share random pictures that raise more questions than they provide answers.

They tried to buy eggs and flour under the age of 18, and now the police are quacking down on antisocial behaviour.

Misconstrued reference to an 80's anti-drug ad, in an attempt to be sarcastic.

Anyone care to calculate how many s**t particles there are per square centimeter of fruit?

My guess is that it's an art installation. There's even one of those little sign on the wall with (I suppose) its name on it. (A few minutes and a reverse image search later : I can confirm, it's called "Demi mesure" (half measure), by canadian artist Patrick Bérubé : http://libertyroulette.blogspot.com/2010/12/russian-trampoline.html)

It's like the 7.5th floor in Being John Malkovich (1999). Trampoline is perfect for a "little" exercise 😵‍💫

People small enough to safely jump may also be small enough to fall through the gaps between springs. Yikes!! Watch those tikes!!!

Is this below a stage? Looks like they could bounce up into the hole in the ceiling.

It's the top of one of those static skydiving tube thingies. It's possible to hit the ceiling hence the trampoline

In this image you're looking at the bottom on the trampoline and the image is flipped upside down. The guy is actually on his back. Another clue is the springs are showing as they're usually not showing.

"Tomber dans les pommes" which translates from French into English as "falling in the apples"....basically it means to faint :) I think this bird is demonstrating that 😂

Per Ozzy Osbourne, I thought it was "You gotta hear this f****** guy!" He was referring to a 9 y.o. Japanese kid play the guitar on Crazy Train.

I know how this driver feels, not only is there the loud noise, but some of us are sensitive to the pressure change. This has total context to myself.
