Most 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

Mom Thinks Depression Isn't Real. Thankfully The Person Who Responded Is Sane

IAmBiches Report

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.

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."

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

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.

Not allowed to move out until 25? You’re never going to see him past the day he turns 18. Your method of raising your kids for lack of a better term is worse than a dictatorship and then to use Jesus as an excuse to control everything they can do is twisted, I think you missed quite a few important parts of the New Testament and I hope that al, the kids realise how bad parents you are and break the cycle with their children

I would suggest giving your kid a little breathing room to try his wings before he falls out of the nest unprepared for life outside this hyper-Christian bubble. Let him make mistakes and learn from them in a safe environment.

Your Christian household sounds more like a well-run prison than a house that worships Jesus. You know, the guy who spread the word of love, honesty, trust, and respect. You should take some photos of your son because as soon as he moves out, you'll never see him again.

You do know he is an adult at 18? You need to realize this because, I'm pretty sure, you're going to see him leave out the door pretty close to that date. He is legally allowed to date and move out at 18. You better start looking for someone else to be your whipping boy.

Let him escape your prison camp. I don't think he's done anything to deserve a life sentence with you.

I don't think you're going to have to worry about your son once he reaches legal adulthood (which is well before age 25). He will be out of there as soon as he can manage it.

Talk to him and EDUCATE HIM in the ways of RESPECT for others. Especially WOMEN. GOD is NOT raising your child. You are.

Some of these are okay. Kids should not have free reign on the internet or with phones, but some of this is bats**t loony.

From the wording used it seems like this is someone trying to make religious people out to be fanatics. .. either way; get a life.

You could push him into the opposite direction. You need to loosen up, and you should seek counseling from your pastor.

Religion is a good thing, but lady you are going WAY overboard. You are not a true Christian. You are a sadist. Your kids would have more freedom in a Nazi death camp.

some of these simply are real. They are written by people who want to see how seriously someone will take something. The above exemplifies my point. There is farrr toooo much detail and too many stereotypes. Read it again as if it was a twisted creative writing assignment. Then ask yourself. If your bottom line question is how do I get my kid indoctrinated into my cult...would you bother will all the detail?

I do believe in God, but I certainly don't believe that people should be forced into believing in God or any other religions. I come from a christian family, grew up in church, so yeah, we did have strict rules such as, computer time: 1 hour on, 1 hour off. Phone: We don't get a phone until we are at least 16. When I got my phone, it was a flip phone. I am now able to make my own choices, and so therefore I am now buying a new phone. rules, but not as bad as those ones. Also, bedtimes, I used to have to go to bed at 7 up until I turned 17.

All jokes aside.... can someone check this family please? This is the kind of environment that produces dangerous loners with extreme viewpoints. I realise mother's cult hypercompliance is not her fault per se, but the only thing that terrified me more than this parenting style, is that kids means more than one victim.

I mean , we all parent differently and while I’m not exactly on board I saw no concern with limited video games and no violent tv, I actually even agree with the smart phone thing as I don’t allow my kids to have them either, but damn did that go creepy quick with the ordering of bed prayers . And good luck forcing your kid to stay living with you once he’s 18. At that point he’s an adult and can move out all he wants …

You are giving the rest of us normal Christians a bad name. Please leave your son alone and get out of whatever cult you are in. I assure you that you don't have to be this zealous.

Once he is removed from the shackles of the prison you made for him he will see the light. What ever happened to teaching morals without taking something away? Can you teach a dog to wait to eat but not limit their exposure to food? Or should we make food the enemy as that’s the only way to teach the dog how to eat?

Ultimate control like this will just make him rebel more and he'll end up doing worse stuff than he would've if it wasn't prohibited throughout his entire life...

Well first of all when he turns 18 he's legally an adult and he can (and probably will) move out if he so chooses. And second...well no second. That was it.

Once that son is 18, he is legally an adult who can make his own decisions. I hope he exercises his rights and moves far, far away.

Got news for ya honey...when he turns 18, there's nothing to stop him from moving out. If you sabotage his ability to move out, you could be facing court cases and possible criminal charges. I'd say count yourself lucky he's put up with all of your psycho crap for so long.

I call BS on this one. No one says "we order our kids" into our room and we "kneel in a line" to pray. This sounds like someone trying to sound like a hyper-religious zealot to make a point on their own dislike of it. I can definitely see some overly strict parents behaving something like this, but the wording here just seems suspiciously critical of the OPs supposed actions.

Good intentions I suppose but this method of parenting will backfire HEAVILY and generally does the opposite of what it's intended to do.

FYI: The classic 'v-chip' only works when the content rating has been properly encoded, and considering that broadcasters can't even be bothered to encode show descriptions properly it probably only works a fraction of the time.
