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.

Stupidity Is Contagious

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."

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.

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.

Best answer hands down. I'd upvote more than once if I could.
Load More Replies...Like I said on another post, this is precisely why people should take some sort of test before being allowed to procreate. People who are this f*****g dumb shouldn't have children.
You’re right; Any dumb f ucks with working sperm and a viable womb/ovum can bring a life into the world.
Load More Replies...Not going to lie, I'm afraid for little Trevor too, just for different reasons.
Damn right little Trevor isn't gonna make it if he has a mother that incompetent.
I question the father too. Doesn't he know a detail or two that sheds light on the process?
Load More Replies...This why kids need to have access to decent Sex Ed programs. My wife is very well educated however is from a very conservative/religious background and was completely oblivious about pregnancy (I did work once as a “midhusband” for a time so was able to help her but it was traumatic for her)
This has got to be fake. I'm sure she would have had drs, obgyn etc appts within that 5 months if it's true.
In the usa, there are still many women who have NO prenatal care - they go to the hospital in labor an that is it.
Load More Replies...You'd think that she'd at least try a sponge bath at some point during those 5 months....
My mom fell in the shower when she was pregenant with me.I'm still here
Silly woman your husband is doing a great job he is afraid that his cum will drown the baby. Dont be offended.
Welp. I'd say this is a proper question for her doctor, but I'm suspecting she may not be smart enough to have one of those.
Um, what? The baby is literally floating in amniotic FLUID...even if water could magically go up your vagina, cross the closed cervix, and penetrate the amniotic sac...the baby is in liquid.
okay am worried for baby Trevor, but also for this girl. like love how are you walking through life like this?
As a former L&D nurse, WASH YOUR VAGINA! It's already a messy enough process, with all kinds of smells involved! I was blessed (in my 2 yrs in that dept) to only have one or two that smelled atrocious. I remember putting vicks vapor rub in my nostrils and having to wash the area with soap, water and betadine before the doctor came in.
She is going to be hella surprised when her water breaks and she finds out the baby has always been in water.
This is clearly fake. Even if drowning the baby were possible, how would water go up when you're showering? No one is that stupid.
There are people having dozen of children because they think sperm sleeps at night. I MET one at the gynecologist, being with his wife having their 14th (!!!) child. I thought I misheard and he meant 4th. No... Believe me, there is no border to stupidity... or missing education. depends on the case I guess...
Load More Replies...I don't know, I never shower without standing in a newborn or two. Once I had 4!! So I had to listen to screaming till I took another shower. . . . . . Idiot
your baby is growing up in the water of your womb they cannot drown even if you are swimming take that bath and long showers I have 5 children and they are awesome water makes babies feel comfortable but they also feel your fears so most likely your baby will have a fear of water if you do not enjoy your bath time now and smell fresh for your husband it is most likely he is going to seek for someone who loves water
Please bear in mind she is pregnant, I hear pregnancy brain is a condition many women suffer from.
that's just nasty... talk to a doctor before coming up with the most stupid ideals.. some people today makes me worry about what is to come...
I believe more questions are needed for the next doctor's appointment. Bring the husband, he's also abit dense if he hasn't been able to explain a detail or two.
ummm yeah someone should tell her she can give birth in water too cause the baby literally has no working lungs until they are exposed to air
I thought the baby was already born and Mom was being overprotective. This is worse.
OMG!! your husband hasn't touched you because you have not bathed. Have you even talked to your doctor before now to know what you are asking is total idiocy?
There's this mucus plug see at the end of the cervix... Nevermind - it's science s**t. bathe, or shower, or swim - it's all good. Kid is in a pouch in there and is protected from outside water, air, and other things. Now, keep the temperature of the water not tooo hot - shouldn't sting your wrist. That is all... And then get a book written in plain wording to educate yourself on what your body is actually going through.
Are you really that stupid ,didn't you doctor tell you that that is IMPOSSIBLE... the womb protects you baby moron
Your baby is in a safe place. You need to be thinking about keeping it safe after it's born.
How old are you? Are you a child bride? Do you live in a cave? If you don't wash your husband won't come anywhere near you. Poor Trevor will suffocate.
Darwin award candidate! All she has to do is keeping her bottom above water and her head under for like 30 minutes to win!
Your husband hasn't "touched you in months" because you probably stink from not bathing. Or perhaps it's because he finally found out how stupid you are.
Get and education, But please for everyone's sake, Shower first. It might just shock you, but your Baby is living in a bag of Amneotic Fluid. (Maternity water.) in the womb, When the time comes for her/him to be born, the membrane (plug) ruptures and all that water pours out, then your baby will be born. As for sexual relations with your husband, having marital sex will not harm your baby. Please buy a book and read about the facts of pregnancy and birth.
Someone please take this kid from this moron immediately upon birth!
Wow. I hope you don't pass this level of stupidity onto your poor child. I wouldn't touch you either if you hadn't showered in 5 months.
Your husband hasn't touched you because you stink to high heaven. I'm surprised he even lives in the same house with you.
I kind of want to know if she thinks the umbilical cord is like a snorkel or how else would the baby breath in her belly
If showering will drown the baby, by that logic putting a plastic bag between your legs will suffocate the baby.
Make sure your son's school has proper sex-ed. Then at least HE will know that fetuses don't breathe, that they float around in amniotic fluid, and that there is a plug in the cervix, protecting the fetus from outside contamination. You'll have to google "cervix" yourself.
Take a shower or bath girl - that's why he won't come near you. Those holes are naturally closed - no need to worry lol
This is why we need adequate sexual education and child development courses in the world.
They just don't teach science like they used to. Water flows downhill, so unless you are doing a one-handed handstand in the shower (you do need the other hand to use the soap of course) your vagina will not fill with water. Two possible, but untested, exceptions:- 1. if your vagina is so narrow that water will rise upwards by capillary action. 2. You keep your mouth shut and pinch your nose then breathe in mightily you may be able to suck the water up. But all this is unnecessary because the baby is floating in water anyway, blowing bubbles and quite unaware that she is going to have a real dumb mother.
Maybe the husband hasn't touched her because she hasn't showered in 5 months? Nothing to do with the baby.
I haven't had a shower for 5 months and my husband hadn't touched me. Yeah, cos you stink! Good luck kid, you're gonna need it.
Theres a reason the door between the mighty v and the uterus is there
It’s amazing he touched you before. But about trevor , you could take him out, put him in the bread basket, take your shower, and then put him back. Problem solved, and, your husband just might touch you!
Elevating your legs would actually make it more likely that water would go up your vagina, since now the hole is down. Physics, it’s a thing.
It would be a good question how babies are so protected, actually makes you think. Everyone knows they are protected against stuff like this, not how
With any luck, your baby will drown which will spare the little one from having to be raised by such an ignorant, filthy idiot.
This has to be satire...I mean...it...it must....must be...how can....how can anyone.....
Please put your child up for adoption. Respectfully, you’re too stupid to procreate
These people are some kind of ninjas. They excel at hiding from any knowledge.
maybe you shud put a plastic bag over your head, and tie it tight, and then take a bath, ma'am...
She is the stupidest person on this earth. The water never went up her vagina in her whole life.
Jesus H Christ. I seriously hope this idiot loses ALL parental rights when this little one is born. She'll probably put it in the microwave to heat it up on cold days!!!!
Ohhh Trevor, I now understand why you were so f'ed up in GTA 5. But seriously, babies breathe through the belly button so as long as that is not obstructed, he'll be fine.

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.
