The Internet is an interesting place, full of WTF stock photos and questionable DIY anti-coronavirus solutions. But if you like your content even edgier and weirder, look no further than the subreddit r/TIHI.

Its name is an acronym for "Thanks, I Hate It" and it pretty much sums up everything you see on the sub. From a vending machine selling Pringles in a pack as opposed to a tube, to a sign warning about deer carcasses falling from trees; the 1.3 million members of r/TIHI really know how to get under each other's skin. The best part is they do it without any gore or anything. Continue scrolling and check out some of the subreddit's most popular posts!

While the exact origin of the "Thanks, I hate it" phrase is unclear, its usage saw a spike in the fall of 2017 not only on Reddit but on Tumblr as well. According to the Internet culture database Know Your Meme, it was popularly used in comments responding to strange images before it was used to title such posts.

People began using the phrase in their post titles somewhere around late 2017 and early 2018, so you can say the subreddit r/TIHI (created on November 09, 2018) is a way of keeping this meme alive.

Mashable writer Heather Dockray believes that "Thanks, I hate it" is a celebration of what they call Internet Gothic; the grotesque consisting of hellish images, perverse Photoshops, photos suggestive of late capitalism, disturbing GIFs, shitposts, nihilist memes, and all the stupid stuff we try and forget we saw on the internet.

If it wasn't for r/TIHI, the meme might've died.

"The initial idea came from another moderator of us (u/scrumbly) on another post on r/ATBGE ... He posted a comment linking to this sub and as it didn't exist yet, I decided to make it a thing," Markus, the founder of the subreddit, told Mashable in an email. "I wanted to create a place for all the beautiful posts that are both likable and hatable at the same time. But I wasn't all that serious about it, as all subs I managed before were very small as well."

This one, however, lives on. And flourishes.

The police actually checked on him in the movie and at that time he was alright. It was after the police left that the thieves tried to break in.

Right! Like this dude is just going off in left field. When there were actual thieves trying to break in the kids house. So how he jumps to the kid being the aggressor and making it out like he's the bad guy is just odd and makes no sense at all. Like did he not grasp the movie? Smh.

Kevin accidentally stole a toothbrush from the store and was chased by a cop. After that, he was afraid of the police. That’s why he didn’t call them.

I hate to be that person but I can’t help it- I thought he couldn’t have called the police because the lines were down or something??

They were actually "cops" and he just could not trust them. How was he going to know the next police officers were the good ones?!

And Hollywood wanted to make a movie of a facetious kid abandoned and left behind in their home, as his family boarded a plane to fly away.....as if!!

All of TV and movie dramatic points could be avoided entirely or at least minimized by simple conversation. TV and movie writers pander to complacency (myself included) and we (myself included) buy it hook, line and sinker damned near every time.

A tree fell and cut the phone lines if I remember. But then he did also call for a pizza later on? Maybe the OP is onto something.

He didn't want them to die. He was to young to know what 911 was so he had to fight for his life.

Kevin is a kid whose parents have taught him the importance of Appearances, and all, including his safety, must be sacrificed on the altar of Keeping Up Appearances.

His parents could’ve done the same thing. It’s called a welfare check.

His parents did call the police. They checked the house and found it locked up tight and no one answered the door. They assumed the parents couldn’t keep track of that many kids and they had simply miscounted.

It's also a bad parent, these "baby on board" people. Planks of wood are no substitution for a car seat.

They do look very calm. Maybe I should ditch the anti anxiety meds and eat some of these 🤔 (the treats, not the pets)
