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.

That's my brother's name. I am SO spelling it like that on his next birthday card!
Could be worse. The French straight up don't pronounce the last phoneme or two. And just try conjugating verbs in many common languages. Or nouns. Or adjectives. English spelling sucks, but its grammar is easy. Say hello to Monseiur Teauxnis!
Thank f**k for name laws in my country. None of this spelling bs allowed.
Sounds like a Shakespearean horse…”ptough neigh or not ptough neigh”
Blame those who chose the spelling not the language itself..LOL Duh Ok..
I'll name my child Ptoughneigh and only teachers will know. He will live with the knowledge of his name forever! (JK I would never do that to my kid)
Who spelled it like that? And can we sterilize them to save potential future children from grief?
I would change my name to this just so that I can say "That's Tony with a P" to the cashier at starbucks. Just to see their face. I could allways back it up.
Ugh! DON'T give people ideas!! I recently saw a girl named "rifle" spelled "Reighfyl"
This is literally what they do in Provo UT when they name their kids.

Hey BP you really didn't have to title each and every post you know. Especially since you made the same comment every single time. It got annoying. No need.
Agreed, and I annoyed myself as I read it in my head every time too!
