WikiHow describes itself as "the world's most popular how-to website" that provides "easy, well-researched, and trustworthy instructions for everything you want."
But as celebrities who are constantly hunted by paparazzi would tell you, popularity comes with a price.
In a humorous twist, the subreddit 'Disney Vacation,' with its 623K members, is dedicated to collecting weird, terrifying, and downright bad illustrations from wikiHow and re-captioning them for each other's entertainment.
We've featured this community a few times already, but in homage to their unwavering efforts, we decided to put together a collection of the best images they have ever produced. Enjoy!

There are people out there wishing they had vaccines, and fools are out here like, "Naw, let's roll the dice on my kids' lives because an idiot told me to."
If they want to roll the dice on their kids life, it's sad but thats on them. What i hate is as someobe with immune issues, they are risking others lives. There is reason why they put Thyphoid Mary in an sanitaruim. She refused to stop cooking for others and was spreading it.

If you refuse to vaccinate your children they should be taken from you and you should be charged with neglect because that's exactly what it is. You're neglecting your child's health and well being because you're an idiot who should never have bred in the first place.
There are still states where you can directly neglect your children to death, and all you have to do is bleat “religion” to get a get out of jail free card.

Antivaxxers are some of the most selfish and ignorant people out there. It’s vile that these losers can toy with the lives of their own children and refuse to vaccinate them. Unvaccinated people are not only in danger of contracting a number of horribles illness, they are also a huge threat to people who are immuno-compromised. F**k antivaxxers.
There is a fairly recent case in Lethbridge, Alberta (pre-COVID) of parents who refused to get their child vaccinated for meningitis, and who attempted to treat symptoms with 'natural' remedies. The child died, they were convicted, they were unrepentant and tried to raise anti-vaccine views in their interview outside the courtroom..
For those thinking getting valued can you... polio and measles, that were eradicated over 2 decades ago, are back. Disease should have been a thing in the past, found in history books...

wikiHow was introduced to the internet by Jack Herrick on January 15, 2005. This date was chosen to honor Wikipedia, which was also launched on January 15, only in 2001.
And silly as some of the illustrations might seem, wikiHow founder Jack Herrick says the goal of the platform is to give everyone on the planet a "practical education" – whether it's sexing turkeys, casting a love spell, or wearing fishnets.
"Hi, I'm Lakota. The negative thing that happened to me this week was this meeting. The positive thing that happened to me this week is that this meeting will end." XD
Load More Replies...My history teacher this year makes everyone do this on Monday. Everyone HAS to stand up at their desk and share (in detail) what u did over the weekend. If you say "video games" then she makes you say which game, etc. You also have to speak up so everyone can hear.
That's easy. One negative is this suggestion.
Load More Replies...Every high school class that had a progressive teacher that had us arrange desks in a circle and talk to the class.
This is so wrong - you all realize we are now sitting in front of video cameras in our calls, right? Right?? So, keep the posture and try to look nice and understanding, please.
How to participate in most conference calls. 😆 Too bad Zoom and Teams ruined it.
Okay, but then one takes the receiver and taps it repeatedly on one's head, because that hurts less than the mindless twaddle buzzing in the earpiece, and the knowledge that people are willing to waste your time this way.
And people are freaking out about that break dancer. Back in '94 the Olimpics got really harcore.
Load More Replies...Before Wikihow, Herrick founded eHow, a site with a similar idea but that paid its contributors. However, according to the businessman, this concept wasn't working.
Then, in 2004, he stumbled across Wikipedia. "It was clear it was going to be an amazing resource and become the best site on the internet," Herrick told WIRED. "And I said: 'If this works for an encyclopedia, does it work for a how-to guide?'"
He borrowed the open-source wiki software, and the next year released Wikihow. "Pretty much nothing happened," he recalled. "In those first days, we had almost no users, almost no edits. I think we had 2,000 people visit us that first month."
Now, I understand there are still stores around where one may buy a lovestick. Some of them even come with straps.
Dangerous jobs aren't the ones making the gender pay gap worse. They're a minor facet of a greater problem. More men are in leadership positions and that's not dangerous/doesn't require greater strength. Women generally have more barriers in getting into these higher positions. Women are also still overwhelmingly the ones expected to stay home to raise the children which negatively effects their careers and future earning prospects. It's also worth noting that often, a field that is female dominated earns less, until it becomes more male dominated and then it becomes more valuable. Look at computer programming and similar things. Things are improving, but they can't improve properly if people pretend the problem doesn't exist.
Load More Replies...A lot of people are straight - like Spaghetti.... until they get wet (joke my lesbian friend told me)
See that one bothers me. If you get spaghetti wet you just have wet spaghetti. It doesn't bend until you boil it.
Load More Replies...Nostalgia for times past that weren't really as good as you now think they were.
Herrick, who is still heavily involved in the day-to-day running of Wikihow, wanted to encourage people who did jump in and make edits to stick around. "Anyone who edited the site, I’d send them a personal note. It was that level of detail. I would look over every single change." And it slowly caught on.
Volunteer contributor Eric Wester first visited the site in 2007. "I don't remember the specific article that was featured that first brought me to Wikihow, although I was hooked pretty quickly," he said. Now, Wester does everything from writing articles to checking licensing on uploaded images, moderating pages for deletion, and helping teach new editors. "It's fun to be able to learn more about people's passions and then help point them in the direction of an editing tool that they might really find their niche in," he added.
Your stride, right foot to right foot is approximately similar to your height. fun fact I learned in PE class approximately 1993.
BoredPanda is so damned confusing. They censor words like boobs, d**k, twat, and kill yet stuff like this passes over their censorship mafia 😂
Sometimes idk if it's BP rules, them not checking what they post, or the Lithuanian laws

I need this blown up and put on a sign and smuggled into a Trump rally!!
Initially, the site only had Creative Commons images pulled in from Flickr or Wikimedia, but these were mostly generic and not instructive.
So to improve them, wikiHow hired a photographer, tasking them to illustrate a few articles. It worked, so more photographers were quickly hired. And they still do photography, but as you can see, there are some things you just can't photograph.
Personally? If a guy wants to have sex with a p*ssy that is shaved to look like a 12 year old, I'm out.

No, it's not that bad... Yet... We're getting there though, Obamacare only slowed down the rot.
Load More Replies...Being sick or needing life saving care should never cause financial hardship. People's lives have been ruined, put into bankruptcy because of the way health care is in the USA. It sucks and it will never change because insurance companies make too much money from it.
wikiHow didn't expect a strong reaction to its illustrations, nor the memes. The funny thing is that Herrick is actually aware of 'Disney Vacation.'
"Whoever is making those memes, super clever – very funny. There's some unbelievable stuff on there. It's comedy gold," he said.
Can you share what brand of blanket you have? Mine doesn't provide enough of a sense of utter helplessness when I wrap myself in it XD

Load More Replies...Dang it. It's that crazy b***h, tina again,. Act like you don't see her.
These illustrations may be part of what has made wikiHow so famous online, but as WIRED's Nicole Kobie points out, what makes the site truly stand out isn't so obvious on its pages.
It's just a nice place to scroll through. Plenty of online communities devolve into cesspits of trolling and abuse, but wikiHow has managed to stay friendly. Let's hope it stays that way, too. Otherwise, where would we get all of these hilarious images?
How's that degree in "The Unseen Body and Creative Spaces of Erasure and Exposure of the Queer" working out for you? [actual degree from NYU and future starbucks barista]
I did read 'started' as 'skater' and I thought that skater would appreciate this arch.
This is an invention that we do NOT need. Just like smell-o-vision. Imagine flipping the channel from a cooking show, to a perfume commercial, to the Nature Channel. 🤢

I'm 5'6" and get called short too. My usual response is "I'm not short, I'm fun size, just like the little bars of chocolate because you always want more."
Load More Replies...I'm 5'4" and adore tall people. If I'm standing in line in front of or behind them I say to them, "Well, aren't you going to ask me how short I am?"
At least it's not a Canada Goose (capitalized out of fear induced respect)

Jesus f’in Christ, BoredPanda. You censor the words d**k and W***y, but this is somehow alright? This site is so weird 😂
I friggin hate this! I'm in class this made me laugh so hard now the teacher's glaring at me :/
I'm pretty sure that image is from the breakdancing manual Napoleon Vegemite... um I mean Raygun... used to get into the Olympics.
Instead of scratching/grabbing.. use the dance moves from "Thriller" 😆😆
*blocked* it's hauntingly easy for me to cut people out of my life. Something about turning 40 made me realize that I didn't want to deal with b******t from anyone, for any reason.
<3 I feel this. I'm 42 and I'm getting there. I'm almost there. I'm getting out of a 23-year-long abusive/controlling relationship in a few months. Then I'm going to work on going NC with my mother, who abused me all throughout childhood in every way you can abuse a child.

I grew up in an Italian and Irish neighborhood on the south side of Chicago but have Eastern and Central European heritage. I’ve managed to avoid having a Chicago accent, however I don’t know what I’d do if I weren’t able to talk with my hands. I even do it when I’m on the phone.
Load More Replies...I get asked often if I'm Italian because I gesticulate so much when talking. 🤷🏿
One time I was walking in the West Village in New York. I saw two women up ahead, gesticulating to each other. I figured they were deaf, and signing. When I got closer, I heard them talking. I realized they were not deaf, but Italian.
OMG I remember this one from a pamphlet or something back in the '80s. Back when I was still going to church.

Load More Replies...Several neighborhoods in Boston too from what I've learned through looking at real estate websites. Apparently to live comfortably in the Boston area one needs to make over 100,000 dollars a year, or around $60 an hour. Why do I mention this? I just got back from vacation in Boston and I absolutely fell in love with it. But I don't make that kind of bread.
Median income in San Francisco, $126,187. Income needed to live comfortable $131,000. For a one-bedroom apartment, you need $93,720. What people don't seem to get is you can't compare the economics of any given city to another one. Comparing your income in one city to the expenses of another city only counts if your income isn't dependent on where you live.
Load More Replies...And still, people in other parts of the country can't understand why people want to have the minimum wage increased. In general, I don't think the average person actually understands the economics of living in different places. Where $15.00 minimum wage in their city might sound insane, might be "low" in another city like New York.

Load More Replies...My boyfriend once actually lectured me on the sounds that I made during orgasm. Apparently they were not the "correct" sounds. Apparently they weirded him out/he did not like them. He asked me to change the sounds that I made during sex/while I was having an orgasm. He wanted me to sound sexier while I was having an orgasm. Let's just say that we haven't had sex in probably about 10 years at this point.
Call me cynical if you wish but I have a finely-tuned eye for spotting get-out clauses (with three daughters and two grandsons I've had a lot of practice) , so I have to ask....when you say that 'we' haven't had sex, does that imply that 'you' may have, just not with him? 😂
