Have you ever looked at an image and felt comforted yet deeply disturbed at the same time? Like your heart wanted to say "oh, how sweet" but your soul was whispering "wtf?"
That, my friend, is what we call "blursed." It's an oddly satisfying combination of blessed and cursed: spawned somewhere between heaven and hell, the internet's version of emotional whiplash, flourishing while hiding out on social media like mold in a long-forgotten lunchbox.
There's a whole community dedicated to these weirdly hilarious images. Blursed Images has thousands of members stuck in purgatory, sharing posts that encapsulate the best of both worlds. Bored Panda has put together a list of our personal favorites from the page. Do they deserve praise or holy water? We'll let you be the judge of that...

The internet has brought us many things: TikTok trends, heart-warming stories, funny memes and more. But among the weirdest offerings are what's become known as cursed images.
They're unsettling. They're weird. And they often leave us feeling a bit uneasy, or even a little creeped out. Despite their off-putting nature, we can't help but stare.
"At first glance, it’s hard to pin down what makes a cursed image cursed. Often, the elements in the photo seem normal enough—a person, a place, or an object you recognize. But there’s something about the way everything comes together that feels off," notes 3D art platform ANASAEA.
"Maybe it’s the angle, the lighting, or just the strange combination of things that don’t belong together," adds the site. "It’s like your brain knows something isn’t right, but you can’t quite put your finger on it."

I have a t-shirt and a long sleeved t-shirt that says "In my defence I was left unsupervised"... My calipers and crutches 😁 Love people like him and others who poke fun at their disability, it's not always easy, nope. So poking fun? Punk Rock!
The platform adds that what makes cursed images impactful is the fact that they fall somewhere between normal and abnormal, and they play with your sense of reality.
"Sometimes, it’s the content that throws you off—like a familiar scene that’s just slightly distorted. Other times, it’s the poor quality of the photo, like a grainy, low-resolution image of a deserted playground or a blurry shot of a mannequin in an unsettling pose," reads the site.
In a nutshell, they leave you feeling like something’s not quite right, but you’re not exactly sure what.

Let's be completely honest, when I travel to the US, I've never seen other than frozen Mexican food on that aisle, why suddenly they changed for Mexican to Hispanic? There's no Guatemalan, Chilean, Peruvian or any other of those!

Depends on the store...my local market has a pretty diverse Hispanic section, mostly Mexican, but there are several other countries represented. Does it really matter though? It's all Hispanic food.

According to writer and cursed images connoisseur Már Másson Maack, there are a few building blocks that make up the perfect cursed image.
One is what he calls defamiliarization. Maack explains this as "the artistic technique of presenting to audiences common things in an unfamiliar or strange way in order to enhance perception of the familiar."
He gives the example of putting dish soap on waffles, or locking toes together with multiple people at once.

Q: What happened when the Pink Panther stepped on an ant? A. Dead ant, dead ant, dead ant dead ant dead ant...🎶
Another thing you might notice in cursed images is high-contrast flash photography. "The lighting in the most powerful photos often has a film-like feel to it, a reminiscence of where we’ve come from but also painting our past as sordid and dirty," explains Maack.
Flash photography might also invoke a feeling of being exposed for what we really are, he says. "A bright flash of light, unveiling all the faults we’ve tucked away in the darkness — like our toes, which are universally disgusting."

Finally, says Maack, many of the greatest cursed images recast food as a reminder of mortality and lack of agency.
"Food is a common theme in DIY cursed images. The presence of unappealing food quietly reminds us of the carnal element of our existence. Food crosses the boundaries of our bodies and we’re sickeningly dependent on it, reminding us we’re never fully in control of our surroundings or an independent force in this world," writes the fan.

He believes that introducing foods such as milk in new, unexpected circumstances forces us to face the fact that no matter how much we advance, we’re still fettered by our base needs.

They don't let the occupants back into the house while they are fighting the fire so I'm guessing he went back in for the occupant's shoes (they ran out barefoot) and he found the large, scared, slightly wet kitty in the process.

Laughs because something like 90% of plastic waste in the oceans is commercial fishing/NOT consumer straws and corporations have once again successfully fooled us into thinking that it is us, when it is in fact, not us, it is corporate waste. We are focusing on the wrong thing.
Marnie 2 months ago
That's even worse. Aluminum has very specific properties. And there is only so much of it. Alchemy isn't real, so we can't make more. Eventually, all that aluminum (8 billion straws if we all bought one) will end up discarded and most won't be recycled. We need to move away from plastic, but this is not the answer.
