You never know what you’re going to get when you hop onto the internet. Pictures of cats? Probably. Cooking tips? Those aren’t hard to find, either. Funny stories about kids? Parents love sharing those. 

On the slightly darker side of the internet, you might come across pics that fall under the umbrella of ‘cursed images,’ like cursed cat images. And if you’re unfamiliar with those, you are in for a surprise.

What Does ‘Cursed’ Mean on the Internet?

A ‘cursed image’ slang refers to a usually poor-quality photo that is mysterious, perplexing, or disturbing due to the nature of its content. These disturbing images are intended to prompt someone to ponder the reason for the image's existence.

Cursed photos can include anything. It can be a person dressed in a creepy costume or animals appearing somewhere they shouldn’t be. Essentially, cursed pictures raise more questions than they answer. In fact, they answer none.

Hence, to get your brain working hard, we’ve gathered some of our favorite posts from the Cursed_Images subreddit. Be sure to upvote the photos that you find particularly bizarre and captivating, and then let us know in the comments if you have any cursed pics of your own to share. 

Moreover, Bored Panda contacted Hangry Hufflepuff1, one of the moderators of the group on Reddit. Hence, keep on reading and stick with the post to gain a bit more insight into the crazy world of cursed images. But we’ll warn you to proceed with caution. Some of these cursed photos may haunt your dreams tonight!

    Is it really a cursed image if it's obviously bad photoshop? No, seriously, it's from a photoshop battle, this post itself states that obvious photoshop doesn't make an image "cursed" - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/putin-pictured-taking-lollipop-child/

    Why do guys always have to get animals stoned and drunk. I hate this stuff! That could hurt/kill the animal, besides, why bother when I am perfectly willing to get stoned and drunk off your stash.

    Not cursed, quite smart actually. It's a mini-roll that is pushed in the hole of the main roll. It provides extra product and you can take it with you in your bag, while camping etc... The outer roll can be used normally. eh26s4jqy0d31.jpg eh26s4jqy0d31.jpg
