If you've ever heard “Thanks, I Hate It” somewhere online, you’re already on board. If not, pull your seat closer. Know Your Meme describes it as “a slang phrase used online with regards to posts that the poster deems unattractive or superfluous.” So basically, it’s something that makes you go “enough internet for today” and close your laptop.

Or... as our dear psychoanalyst Freud suggested, it makes you do the exact opposite. Scroll into the abyss of uselessness, absurdity, annoyance, because even if things don’t spark the most pleasant emotions it doesn’t mean they’re not interesting. Okay, we’re overthinking.

Thanks to the 1.4M-strong community “Thanks I Hate It” on Reddit, better known as r/TIHI, we have a solid collection of posts that we all would be better off without. There’s no gore or anything creepy, it’s just that some posts, thoughts, ideas and screenshots make you wonder, what the hell is this earth.

Psst! Part 2 with posts from r/TIHI can be found here.

The new phenomenon was observed by avid internet users, aka every one of us, who seem to be interested in content they don't necessarily like. The idea challenges the common comprehension of our online presence and suggests that we are here not to necessarily consume things we want, but on the contrary, watch, read, or scroll through something we utterly hate.

Welcome to the culture of hate-watchers, people who find entertainment in content they hate. Described by Merriam Webster dictionary, “hate-watch” is a verb used to watch and take pleasure in laughing at or criticizing (a disliked television show, movie, etc.) The first known use of the term was in 2008, but it really picked up in the past couple of years.

ADVERTISEMENT

Part of the appeal of hate-watching clearly has to do with a fine line between guilty-pleasure media and watching something so bad it’s good. The infamous show Bachelor is one such example, but there is so much more. What if we all feel kind of a twisted pleasure in feeling smarter than the sometimes lost, blunt, and overdramatic real-life characters in such reality shows?

Ah, yes. The lesser known Anne Rice novel: Interview with a Pretentious Jerk.

Not only do they make us value ourselves more by sensing that were are better than them, we also think that if something’s directed, shot, written, or said very poorly, we surely could have made it better than this.

But such a sense, or rather illusion, of temporary superiority can be truly soul-soothing. Think of the competitive society we live in, where everyone has to be their best selves to succeed, if they ever do. Hate-watching is our straight-way ticket to a sense of self-accomplishment without actually doing anything.

The whole point of water in a toilet is that submerged poo doesn't stink. Surely this would delay the time the poo spends between exit and swimming and therefore release more odour?

Agreed, and the checking stool argument doesn’t add up for validation, I still check my mr hankies in a regular water filled bowl 😂 I also poop Asian style cos that is how I learnt, that is good for your pooping time 😝

What´s wrong with this? We have a toilet like that. And no, there are no stains because we know how to clean things.

They are gross. We have them in Germany too. The secret is to arrange a small raft of toilet paper before crapping. Then the little poo barge can sail smoothly away when you flush.

The extra cleaning part can be prevented by using a couple of pieces toiletpaper as a sled....

Apparently, the reason for this in the old days was so the people could check for worms in their turds.

They help keep us healthy. Looking at what came out of you, even for 1/100th of a second, helps go to the doctor early when something is wrong with your innards. Oh and bonus... we don't get splashed by disgusting toilet water, so jokes on you

I'm Dutch and we prefer this because we do not want to get our privats plashed with a cold splash of poop-splash. It makes us cringe. Pooh stinks, we accept that. We also accept it makes noise. (upsidedownface)

Yes! We had these in Hungary! The weird shelf toilets. It's why everybody kept a toilet brush in each bathroom - so you could could push the pile down if it got stuck. It was the worst!!!

I feel so much better! I'd read the thing about the shelf part for examining the poo. I didn't know it was IN THE BOWL! I was picturing it above the tank with a pair of tongs to retrieve it.

What the.... how the f did your eejit brain come to the conclusion that you would stick your hand in poop while wiping? And the gawping is the whole point, so you don't die of cancer because you got to the doctor too late
