50 Of The Weirdest Questions Shared On ‘Insane People Quora’
InterviewMost of you Pandas should already be familiar with Quora, an extremely popular website where people ask questions and other internet users answer them. To the best of their knowledge, of course. It’s a very social way of getting to the bottom of any queries you might have, as people can comment on answers as well. You end up getting a variety of opinions, some of which you definitely might not have expected to see the light of day.
However, it’s most often the case that the questions themselves are the most intriguing part. Some of them are so out there, so bizarre, they’re likely to stun you with their Twilight Zone aura, making you wonder what timeline you’re in. That’s where the r/InsanePeopleQuora subreddit comes in. It’s an online community that documents the weirdest posts on Quora and other question-based sites. We’ve collected some of their best featured posts to share with you as well, dear Pandas.
So go on, grab some popcorn, get comfy, and let’s go explore the weird Land of Quora. Don’t forget to upvote the pics that amused you the most. And if you’ve seen any super peculiar Quora questions previously, you can always share them in the comment section for all the other Pandas to see.
I reached out to the subreddit's moderator team and they were more than happy to talk about the community, its history, and why Quora is so popular. Scroll down for Bored Panda's full interview with them below.

Mom Thinks Depression Isn't Real. Thankfully The Person Who Responded Is Sane
The ‘Insane People Quora’ subreddit has been active since June 2018, recently having celebrated its 3rd birthday. During that time, the community has grown to become over 291k members strong. Most redditors visit the group for their daily dose of fringe weirdness that reminds them (and us!) that fact can often be stranger than fiction.
The founder of r/InsanePeopleQuora told Bored Panda that the online group was founded once there was a rise in the number of Quora posts shared on r/insanepeoplefacebook, a "catch-all for social media insanity." There was a demand for a separate subreddit dedicated exclusively to Quora posts.

"I saw a comment suggesting there should be a specific one for Quora as it's quite different to standard social media (having Q&As only) and decided to make it from there. Getting the first few thousand members took a while with crossposting Quora posts I found to r/insanepeoplefacebook. Some reached the front page of Reddit which is when the sub started seeing a large increase in numbers and became self-sustaining, meaning I didn't need to post as much to keep the sub going," the founder shared how the community started to grow.
According to r/InsanePeopleQuora's mod team, moderating the community is "fairly easy" for the most part. "The main issues we've faced is when we became the trending subreddit of the day we got a large number of unique views (~200k which is way more than the hundreds we would've been getting at the time) and new members within a few days (I think doubling or tripling our size at the time)," they explained.

Does This Mean It’s Over?
Classy S*icide
Politics is almost always a touchy subject. And political discussions on the subreddit are no exception. "The other posts which are difficult are those that bring up political issues. Most of the time this will result in people flinging personal attacks at each other, a large number of bans, and often a locked post. Otherwise, since the number of insane posts on Quora each day is fairly small we tend to only get a few posts a day on most days."
I was interested to get the subreddit founder's opinion about why Quora is such a popular platform. In their opinion, it has to do with the site's ability to adapt. "I think Quora is so popular due to its age and keeping up with the times. Age obviously helps as it takes time to build up a user base, but then you have to do something to maintain that base. For Quora, they've added several common social media features such as the ability to upvote questions, comment on questions (as opposed to answering them), and following people for their questions or answers," they pointed out exactly how the platform has changed with the times.
"I don't think there's anything specific that attracts weird questions, I think it's just because of the popularity of the site, with enough people on there you're always going to get some strange questions as well as trolls."
She Should Be Proud And Supportive
Like maybe to another continent but that might be to close
Load More Replies...Custody of a 25 year old man? She'll get laughed out of a lawyer's office.
Unless she's hiring him/her to defend her in the criminal case of felony theft... this could be either grand theft or grand larceny not to mention wire fraud if she illegally transferred the money out using a computer! This one could be fun to see on Judge Judy! Hahaha
Load More Replies...If it was opened when he was still a minor, the parent's name is likely on it. I'm assuming he didn't remove them when he came of age because he didn't anticipate they'd be THIS nutty.
Load More Replies...It doesn't get much lower than stealing from your son... I hope he changes his name and starts a new life far, far away.
How do I get CUSTODY of my son back? CUSTODY? of a 25-year old son? really? 🤣🤣🤣
He's 25 lady!!!! Be proud that he has grown into a successful young man.
"He is above legal age, I stole his money and I am mentally deranged. Your honor, tell hi he must obey me!"
(sitting. blinking at the screen. stare. blink. stare. blink. absolutely dumbfounded)....i guess she ran out of her meds?
Guess who will be in custody after that trial. Won't be your son, lady.
First give back the money. Then, go away. Far far far away... forever. Weirdo
Pretty sure he's a grown ass man, and he doesn't need a guardian. You can't get custody of an adult. WTF? Also, you're a thief and should go to jail if you did that without his consent.
This one is on him, if his mommy still has access/control over his money at that age.
Uhhhh you don't get custody back. He's 25. A legal adult. And it's no wonder he wanted to move out. Cut the apron strings.
I'm shocked that your son lasted as long as he has with you. You will lose in court because you have committed theft and bribery (possibly, even kidnap). After you lose your insane case, I hope your son has the balls to relocate very far away and never contacts you again.
It sounds like the umbilical cord is still attached, so don't worry he can't get far.
Her son is 25 tears old. He should move out. This lady needs to cut the cord
This poor man needs to move to another country to be safe from his mum's shenanigans
I hate these narcissists that have children for the sole reason of having power and control over someone to stroke their massive ego.
Your son is an adult and has been for 7 years, its time to let him go.
also how the heck were you able to get into your son's bank account??!!
Load More Replies...I hope the court case involves the parent being charged for theft.
at 25 years old, he needs to be shown that you respect him as an adult and not treat him as an infant. Removing ANY money from his bank account is THEFT. and THEFT is a felony.
No wonder he wants to get away from you. At 25, he has custody of himself. You taking his money will definitely ensure that he never has anything to do with you again.
Weird. If I had done that, my Dad would have helped me pack. He always wanted to get rid of me because I was *ruining* his life.
How can you take money from your adult son's bank account? That's clearly theft. He will have custody over you, rather than you over him, if/when you become senile.
Since he isn’t mentally disabled & is over 18 ... you CAN’T have “custody”. 🤦♀️
You don't because you stopped having custody of him the moment he turned 18. You are a really sad woman and need psychological help.
Never if you treat him like that, how did you get money out of his bank account anyway.and you can’t get custody of a grown man for goodness sake, stop being a clinging mother or you won’t see him again.
This mom is about to loose this case and she needs to et her son grow up and move on
"Custody"? Is he 25 months or 25 YEARS old?! I've heard of clingy parents but this is beyond ridiculous.
25??? There’s literally NO custody after 18! Child support stops at 18, unless the child goes to college, then it stops at 21. You are an insane woman and it’s no wonder your son wants to leave!!
What 25 year old with a college degree lets his momma have access to his bank account unless he is totally controlled by her?
How does a person get money from someone's account like that? Doesn't seem possible with the right measures in place.
Unless it was a trust fund and she was the trustee holding the money until he’s 30. Some trusts are set up like that.
Load More Replies...Place 3 cups of hot tar on head at night. Throw a fist full of feathers atop it. Remove clothing, run around screaming "help! I've been tarred and feathered by a nut case"!
he has every right to take you to court you have stolen his money you are possessive he is not a child he needs to get the hell out of your life
lol, custody...he is 25, my dad is very protective of me and when I told him I was going off to college, he almost wept, but still supported me, because I couldn't properly be my own person without being on my own.
uh custody of a 25 yr old?? taking that much money from him is a felony. I wouldn't blame him if he disowns you!
I have to hope some of these are trolling. I have so little hope for humanity at this point. Bring on the alien invasion.
She's either going to prison or to a mental hospital. Which will give her son a chance to disappear from a very scary and out-of-control.person.
That ship has already sailed and you are attempting to sink it. Your custody ended when he reached his majority; he is now an emancipated person. Give back the money you stole and pray that he will ever speak to you again.
You want CUSTODY of your 25 y/o son AND you stole a significant amount of money to prevent him from moving out. Find a therapist. NOW!!!
If they had a joint account, she may not have exactly broken the law. But this is insanely inappropriate. But then again, why would they have a joint account at this age (he's 25)?
Wait - how did she steal from his bank account? 25 and joint account with mommy? If so, it's her money, too ...
I'm seriously wondering if he is adopted?? An engineer with you as a mother? How???
I believe there's a product called de-aging cream, just apply it to your son 8+ times and then he'll be young enough for you to get custody back.
OK, I think I know these people. There can't be two moms doing this crap, can there? Please say no.
I’m 18, and my mom has control over my bank account, and I’m not comfortable with it.
You should probably ask the bank what you can do, since you are a legal adult.
Load More Replies...Other parents want to kids to move out at a certain point. Tgen tgere's this
How did the parent have access to the bank account of the adult son?
How on earth does this person have access to their adult child's bank account?
Can they get custody of a grown a** man who's probably making around $80,000 a year? This post keeps getting better and better! (I say 80k/year because that's roughly what my sibling makes as a mechanical engineer).
You should spent that money on crystals & essential oils they will send the bad spirits away & the son will stay with u
I am so glad that your son turned out to be a normal person after suffering from you raising him I’m not sure how it happened but I would think the Vatican would be VERY interested in this, as it’s the closest thing to a miracle I’ve heated about so far

Quora itself was founded in 2009 by former Facebook employees Adam D’Angelo and Charlie Cheever and became public a year later, on June 21, 2010. Fast-forwarding to 2020, a whopping 300 million users visited it each month. With that kind of popularity, it’s no wonder that some Quora posts end up being weirder than weird.
There have been some large changes made to how Quora operates this year. On April 19, 2021, the site eliminated the requirement for users to use their real names. That means that users can use pseudonyms of their choice as of that date.

What’s more, in August, Quora announced that contributors can now monetize their content. A new subscription service called Quora+ was also launched, where subscribers can access all the content that anyone puts behind a paywall. For a small fee, of course.
The r/InsanePeopleQuora subreddit has a few rules for any up-and-coming members of the community. For instance, obviously, all the posts have to be screenshots from Quora, though other question-based sites also allowed. That includes certain subreddits dedicated mainly to questions.
Perfect Relationship Doesn't Exist
If you're DATING his mother, you aren't his step anything. And he's older than you so... chill.
Uh Yes It’s Immoral
Okay.. I Feel Bad For His Condition
What’s more, the subreddit’s moderators ask their members not to post any personal information. That means no links to the source material! The mods also frown upon reposts and posts that are obvious satire presented as serious questions (satire needs to be marked as such).
And there you have it. The next time you’re browsing Quora for some educational content, you should keep an eye out for any bizarre posts. We’re sure that the r/InsanePeopleQuora community would be more than happy if you share your finds with them.

These aren't crazy people, they're trolls. The Quora Partner Program, wherein participants get paid to ask questions, has resulted in all sorts of silliness like this..
This is exactly the problem. I do go on Quora as some things are interesting/funny but there is a LOT of these kinds of questions and they are clearly trolls.
Load More Replies...Are people really this stupid or were most of these written by kids competing who could write the silliest?
Well this is tame compared to what a lot of the MAGA crowd come up with..
Load More Replies...If this thread was called 'best troll posts' it would make more sense. But I fear a fair number of these are actually real. Well, at least they're asking if their actions and convictions are right, that's gotta count for something, right? RIGHT?
I stopped reading after about 10 of these. Quora *used to be* a great place to ask insightful questions, and people who were particularly knowledgeable about that certain subject would answer them. Now, it's a free-for-all. Fake accounts, troll questions from pre-teens, and a backwards-ass monetizing scheme put out by the site itself.
The amount of people who ask if/how they can abuse their children is horrifying.
A lot of these must be for seeking attention or just trolling people. I refuse to believe people can be as stupid as it turns out from some of these questions.
Quora can be weird. I used to get emails from them with recommendations of really inappropriate questions. I blocked it obviously, but still. They gotta stop.
It would be funny if there were not so many abusive parents. Neutering should be compulsory for some people.
Why do trolls like to make up questions about deranged parents so much?
I used to read/post Quora. Very soon after they advertised pay for questions, the stupidity began. I'm out.
I can not believe anyone this stupid made it to adulthood, I think they are all fake.
These would be comical if you knew for sure they were trolls, but I think some of these are sadly true. It just shows the amount of ignorance that is in the world today.
It's disturbing how many of these ask how or if its ok to be abuseive to children.
Every time someone goes the Quora website, their IQ drops 10 points.

I hope most of these are satirical. Otherwise, I really worry about the state of our civilization.
I really hope these are just trolls but after the year + that we have had here in the us, I wouldn't be surprised if every one of them were true honest questions.
Troll questions asked by Anonymous. They are all fake, made by people trying to earn money on the QPP program. I'm so glad Quora ditched the anonymous feature. It's cut down on this BS quite a bit, but since people can use fake names now, it hasn't cut down enough.
I'm not saying they're all real, but anyone who says they're all 100% fake has never been subjected to a conservative Christian family, or worked in the service industry. I work in hotels, and the questions I get.... There seriously needs to be an "Adulting 101" class in high schools. The only problem is finding someone qualified to teach it.
"This post was originally 101 images. It has been shortened to 50 images based on user votes." I dont wanna see the other 51 thanks
I refuse to believe these are real questions - shouldn't this just have been filed under humour instead?
I'm certainly not the brightest star in the sky but at least I'm smarter than most (if not all) of these f*****g idiots. Although I would say a lot are fake/troll posts, but still. So much stupid on one page.
