Field guide No. 1181
Sandstorm in the washing machine
Cycle: desert, extended.

Also possible, also breaking physics
Self-suspended tree in a sinkholeA tree over a sinkhole either holds on or falls in. This one does neither, with nothing to grip.

Meteorite in the trampoline wellThe mat is pulled into a deep funnel around a dark rock, so the bounce has been postponed for good.
Spore soundsMushrooms will fruit on stranger substrates than vinyl. Not at thirty-three revolutions, though.
