【Historical Archives】

Maybe it's our primal monkey brains,Historical Archives but we humans sure do love watching things get smooshed, stretched, squashed, and cut in half.

After all, that's how why we have an entire corner of the internet exclusively dedicated to things like hydraulic press videos and water jets slicing through everyday objects. We're just suckers for anything aesthetically satisfying.

But it's also the nature of human brain-weirdness to collectively respond to colorful inanimate objects by thinking "ooh, a snack!"

This was certainly Twitter's response to the colorfully complex and weird world of golf ball interiors.

The original photographs, taken by photographer James Friedman, comes from a collection titled Interior Design. "For some viewers," Friedman writes on his website, "my photographs from this series... allude to celestial bodies and the sublime. For me, their serendipitous structural exquisiteness and their subtle and passionate arrays of colors have inspired new exploration in my photography."

They also look delicious as hell.

Even Present & Correct, who posted about the photos, immediately followed up with a tweet saying "DO NOT EAT."But the craving was sostrong for these forbidden tasty treats.

Let's crack open a cold golf ball, and introduce you to some of my personal favorite flavors in the collection, such as Funfetti Ham, Mint Kale, Raspberry² (Regular AND Blue Raspberry), Cheese Blueberry, and Iron Deficiency.

Please don't actually try to eat golf balls.

Either way, Friedman's project is a wonderful look at the abstract world that lies just beneath the surface of our everyday lives.

And, incidentally, he does not actually play golf.
