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.

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.

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.

Yes. because if someone likes you that doesn't mean your sexuality isn't invalid.
Yeah Autistic People Everywhere Hate You
They're cruel idiots who think human emotions has no value.
Load More Replies...I'm autistic and if my mother had thrown my favourite thing away, I would've had a complete meet down which would result in me not wanting to talk to her or be around her.
No, dolls clog up toilets, you have to call a plumber now. Next time just set the doll on fire and keep your fingers over it to realize how your daughter feels.
"My name is Talky Tina and you better be nice to me"
Load More Replies...Please tell me a person from CPS saw this. Doing this to an autistic person is tragic because they often see inanimate objects as best friends and people as just things. You basically just flushed her best friend down the toilet.
1) No you did not. You suck at dealing with your child. 2) How did a Barbie fit down a toilet?
Let's put aside the bad parenting for a moment, and ask this person what kind of toilet they have that can flush a Barbie!
This would be an awful thing to do with a non neurodivergent child, nevermind a child with autism (in which case it's worse because an autistic child may form an attachment to one particular item only, that gives them joy and security, and you've gone and took it from them, which is just cruel) You're lucky I don't know where you live otherwise you'd have social services on your ass to get that child a better home.
I'm worried about all of this. The plumbing, the daughter, the punishment.
she is autictis i met a austic kid who liked who puts his hand over me and plunge me in th pool but he is weak so nothing happens but still dont punidh him
I'd love to see the barbie clogging up the toilet system in the house that cost this idiot parent a few thou to fix...
No, and i hope you get run over by every pre-1940 electric locomotive.
I'm more worried about how she managed to FIT a barbie down the toilet.
what kind of toilet would actually flush down a barbie doll ? those things are like 10" long and not super pliable.
lady, leave autistic out of this, and you're a monster. not only wrong, but hugely wrong. now....add in that autistic twist...and what are you, now? And how can you not see it, that you have to ask...us?
Is it just me or does it makes sense to assume that this mother will blame her kid that the sewage distraction and will punish her for it. I really hope she has another parental figure in her life that will protect her.
"Misbehaved" ... do you mean that *you* misbehaved and caused your *autistic daughter* to have a meltdown? Just guessing here...
No you're being abusive. You're calling her names to her face and behind her back that's why she's misbehaving
Wrong way round, it's the child that's supposed to flush things down the toilet.
please get your daughter a barbie doll she is autistic and does not even understand misbehaving or punishment. she needs love not punishment
Which is the child here, again? Go and buy her a new one, along with some f*****g compassion!
you must have great drains, let's talk about it... also wtf is wrong with you?
By Flushing poor Barbie down the toilet, Being a chunk of plastic, IF she gets stuck and causes a blockage, then you are the idiot who caused that blockage, IF she manages to get through the system without causing a blockage, then she is just another bit of plastic waste is the sewage. And your daughter will hate you for it. Find another way of punishing, but make sure your daughter understands what she has done wrong in the first place.
This is seriously messed up thinking, also I'm surprised the Barbie doll didn't plug up the toilet.
No, that was very cruel and mean to do!! What kind of”parent does that!!
If a plumber was called to clear the toilet, he should charge you double. Also, someone should call Social Services because you obviously don't know how to parent an autistic child.
Maybe you are jealous because your daughter loved the Barbie instead of you.
That's truly horrific. I hope your child gets given to someone who actually cares.
The cost of the plumber you're going to need is going to greatly outweigh the advantages you may think you've gained.
I hope the daughter flushes the contents of OP's wallet down the toilet, and drops the house keys down the drain.
How on earth did that thing go down the toilet? Also, no. The right thing to do would be to flush yourself down the toilet
1. No. Only bodily fluids, fecal matter, cleaning products and toilet paper should be flushed down the toilet. 2. No. You need to learn more about autism.
Did you have to saw her in to pieces? A Barbie doll is just under a foot long. And hard plastic. You must have had to hack the thing up to get it to go down the crapper. Did you force your daughter to watch you behead and then quarter her doll? WTAF was going through your head when you thought...I know....I'll solve this by flushing a full sized doll down..that'll teach her.
And oh, what did autism have to do with your punishment choice? Otherwise I can't see a reason you felt it necessary to point it out.
Load More Replies...Why did they have to mention the daughter was autistic? Had nothing to do with the story.
Why these parents don't deserve to be parents and still are and here I am planning to not have a kid ever.
lol are you f*****g serious?do you have any idea what you just did all the s**t your daughter may now flush because you're a c**t
I just can't help worrying about the toilet choking up in this scenario.
nevermind that she's autistic, that doesn't seem relevant here, anyone would be very upset if someone FLUSHED THEIR BARBIE DOWN ThE tOILET
As a parent with an autistic child - WITAF! This isn't appropriate for any child!
My ex threw away my daughter's toys when she was 4 because she made a mess the weekend he had her. She is a brain cancer survivor and has issues from this. Mainly anxiety, impulse control, and ADHD. She punched a little girl at daycare the next week who took a doll away from her.
Sometimes I wonder why the human race hasn't destroyed itself from sheer collective stupidity.
WHAT exactly did they do? Even if that was something extreme this would maje no sense
Firstly, that is just wrong. You are horrible. Second, pretty sure it's impossible to flush a freaking Barbie.
If I knew your name/location I would report you to child services. You are a horrible parent that doesn't deserve your daughter.
You flushed a Barbie in anger. Now that anger could cost you hundreds of dollars. Was it worth it?
I would be upset too that now all my sh*t will come out because the toilet is now stuck with the barbie
It's a Barbie doll. Not a f*****g dead goldfish. That is very much the WRONG thing to do
How do you even get a Barbie to go down the toilet? I only hope that they're a homeowner and not renting, so they have to pay to fix the plumbing problems that will eventually, erm, come back up for them.
What kind of toilet do you have that will flush a doll? You have too much water pressure.
This is not the right thing to do, regardless of autism being involved. What sort of plum thinks this is a sensible punishment?!
We’ll just file this under “things that didn’t happen.” No way a barbie is making it around the first bend
No, and you are contributing to blocking drains and polluting the enviroment!

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.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/parent-s-guide-children-s-therapy/201810/what-is-considered-child-abuse%3famp Because let’s be real, most of y’all need to read this
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.
