If the internet’s something like the collective unconscious of humankind, then it says a lot about us if we’re both incredibly brilliant and WTF-level weird all at once.
A great example of this is one of the best-known online resources—WikiHow, a quality database of useful tips and tricks to help people do whatever they need to get done, step by simple step. Easy, right? What could go wrong? Well, some WikiHow illustrations look a tiny bit bizarre when taken out of context and it’s the source of a lot of laughter on the net.
There’s such a large fan-base for these drawings that they joined the ‘Disney Vacation’ subreddit that’s dedicated to sharing the “weirdest, terrible, terrifying illustrations from WikiHow.” All with hilarious captions, of course! Check out some of these side-splittingly funny captions below, remember to upvote your fave ones, and read through Bored Panda's interview with the main moderator of the subreddit, Xalaxis! Oh, and when you’re done, have a look through our previous post about WikiHow illustrations right here.

Now on Zoom, they can also see my exasperation, instead of just hearing it.

During the really long period of home-learning for my form (What I've come to term 'The Great AAAAAARGH'), some of my friends lied and said they had a bad connection. Can you really blame them? 5 months of shitty connections and that one kid who had a blue fit and went up in smoke because his wifi was shitty.
Load More Replies...This is a pretty cute set up!! And with rent under 3,000 a month in the Bay?? Who could resist?!
Xalaxis, the main moderator of the 'Disney Vacation' subreddit, told Bored Panda that the community isn't really worried about running out of content. Not as long as Wikihow exists, anyway.
"Ultimately, the content in our subreddit is made by the users, so as long as there's redditors around and content to post, I don't think we'll run dry. We are, of course, immensely grateful for their contributions and I always strive to remind people that without them there would be no subreddit. Thanks everyone!" Xalaxis said.

the bottom right corner says "how to tell if a mirror is two way or not" and honestly i can't believe that's a real tactic
you miss Don's UV googles, leaving that "white on orange" eyelids, perfect with his pale yellow wig.
We also wanted to find out more about the subreddit's ban on political posts. Xalaxis was kind enough to go into detail about this and actually drew attention to the fact that not all political posts are banned.
"We decided to disallow 'political posts' recently after noticing that content related to the (then upcoming) US 2020 election was causing division amongst our members. After taking a poll which showed generally spread views, we decided to introduce the political posts rule on the basis that disneyvacation should primarily be a place you come to get away from current affairs—If we avoid divisive political jokes, then hopefully the net number of people enjoying our subreddit can increase," the main mod explained that the decision was made with the goal of unity in mind.
"That being said, it's worth noting that the political posts rule actually doesn't disallow all political posts, just those that reference a candidate, their party, or a news organization at the moment (see current rule). That's deliberately so posts like this are allowed, where the caption is more likely to appeal to those across the political spectrum. Really, it should probably be several different rules, but for now we're keeping it in one and judging everything as it goes. So far, I think we've seen a lot less arguing about politics since the rule was introduced in September. I imagine the workload related to this rule should calm down a bit now the election is nearing it's end."

Xalaxis also revealed that they've been in contact with a WikiHow staff member in the past when passing on some concerns about content that was a tad too peculiar, even for WikiHow.
"They were very prompt in replying and dealing with the issue, and here's a quote from the email: 'Yep, familiar with the subreddit and get a giggle out of the occasional out-of-context image myself :)' (smiley from original email)," Xalaxis shared. "I felt quite proud that we'd been acknowledged by our 'parent' if you like."

Load More Replies...In all fairness, WikiHow is a bastion of quality content (with a few hilarious exceptions) and boasts over 227k+ articles. The average WikiHow article gets edited by 23 people and reviewed by 16 individuals.
Experts also frequently review these articles and give the thumbs-up when everything matches their standards (that’s what the green checkmark means). The WikiHow team also looks at reader feedback which means that each article gets changed 9 times each year, on average.
Meanwhile, the ‘Disney Vacation’ subreddit has a whopping 584k members which just goes to show that there are quite a few people out there making up the WikiHow illustration cult following.
When they list symptoms for covid or heart attacks or cancer, and I'm like, I've had 90% of these every day for the last 15 years x_x

The sub moderators point out the community isn’t actually about posting about your Disney vacations. As a matter of fact, the sub got started after somebody shared a creepily-drawn WikiHow illustration showing a family watching a video about Disney-themed food. So it’s an inside joke that’s bound to have confused at least a few people if it warranted an extra caption.
For anyone wanting to post something on the subreddit, fortunately, the moderators provide very clear instructions on how to do this. Once you’ve found your terrifyingly weird WikiHow drawing, post it with a funny caption and a link to the source in the comments.
But keep in mind that you can’t repost content that somebody else has already shared. What’s more, you should also probably avoid political posts, as discussed up above. “Remember—it's always possible to find a funnier caption than a political one,” the mods explain.

I don't know anything about the movie/broadway show Cats; do people hate the story or the CGI?

I've been told that in the US, dying doesn't exempt you from paying your medical bills. The US medical professions seem to work on a "No cure, pay anyway" basis.
True. They can go after family members. Also, if an elderly person on Social Security dies on the last day of the month, the government wants the whole month's pay returned. Insane. Make things even harder for a grieving family.

Load More Replies...Hold a urine-soaked cotton cloth on your face in the event of a chlorine attack. A government-grade gas mask is an even better option, but in an emergency, this will create a temporary, usable mask. The urine will absorb into the cotton/fabric and crystalize the chlorine gas. This type of mask also only lasts until the urine dries out. https://www.wikihow.com/Survive-a-Gas-Attack
Apparently this was originally 'How to survive a gas attack'. Mustard gas can be neutralised by ammonia, which is found in urine.
If you dont get it we probably shouldnt tell you.

Unless a bad guy breaks into your house. Then follow these steps: 1) go find Dad and ask him for the combination 2) pull up a chair and open the safe 3) go find Dad again and ask where he keeps the ammo 4) go load the gun 5) go find Dad again and ask him how to use this thing. By then, well never mind...
So someone broke into the house and you’re just gonna go keep asking dad and not call 911 while dad deals with it? Or leave the gun out and someone breaks into your house and you say “Hold on, wait for me to go get my gun out of my dresser” but it turns out your child already shot himself with the gun on accident.

Overfeeding a pet to the degree that the pet becomes obese is animal abuse.
