50 Of The Weirdest Questions Shared On ‘Insane People Quora’
Interview
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
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
Well, assuming hiring and paying a hitman is illegal in (hopefully) EVERYWHERE? Yes you will go to jail, no matter of the outcome.. (well..)

I hope this question is hypothetical but due to the seriousness of the possibility I think we must take it at face value. If you are contemplating suicide in any form, even by hiring someone else to kill you, please reach out to someone. Help is available. Whatever you are going through is temporary. Death is permanent. Please rethink your options.
Depends on the country where the person is living. In some countries it's illegal to commit (assisted) suicide. In Australia a survivor of a suicide pact can be charged with manslaughter, while suicide or attempted suicide is not illegal in Norway.

If you get caught and since you're the intended target, my guess is you would possibly go to a psych ward.
This, psych ward, is my thought, as well...... I hope you reach out for help; a much better solution!

'If I hire a hitman to kill me and he fails, is that a breach of contract?'
There are even countries where suicide is punishable by death...
Load More Replies...
let's say he failed and you are in hospital there will be an investigation and he can go to jail for attempted murder and you can be jailed for conspiracy
Yes, it technically falls under the grounds of both soliciting to murder and attempted murder even if it's yourself you want killed because it falls under euthanasia which is illegal in most countries.
What's the motive? Some states consider attempts at suicide criminal.... for mental health reasons they would commit you to psych. treatment....if for insurance fraud, yep, you go to jail.
Depending on the country and state. In some would be violating the law..
The hitman will. You might get done for hiring one, but attempted suicide is more likely gonna get you put in psychiatric than an “attempted self-manslaughter” sentence. Another trial I’d watch tho!
I doubt there’ll be jail time, even if he gets his target. Suicide is not punishable by law & as long as the guy signs a written statement that he holds no responsibility towards the guy ending his life, there shouldn’t be any backlash. 🤷♀️
Soliciting for a major crime, conspiracy to murder.. Waddya reckon, idiot? But on the bright side, maybe the hitman wouldn't fail...
I would guess whatever laws for assisted suicide are where you live would apply? Think Dr. Kavorkian (spelling?)
Even if you and the hitman go to jail, can you sue him for breach of contract?
well, if he fails does he get caught? I mean, that's the first... that's what the whole thing is riding on.
Well. Why would you hire someone to do it? For preventing anyone finding out it was suicide? In that case, it's highly likely the reason was some kind of fraud. Which is a crime, so they'd be conspiring to committing a crime, so yes. Prison.
Yes. Suicide is illegal in most states. Actually, Attempted Suicide is. You might also be charged with conspiracy and with soliciting murder for hire.
Yes you would. Contracting for a murder, even your own is illegal.
Yes it’s still classed as attempted murder and a few other crimes
Technically, if you have life insurance policies, they don't pay the beneficiaries for a suicide. Thus, this would be a workaround.... of course, you still die, so there are drawbacks.
You will definitely be admitted to a locked psychiatric hospital for the immediate future.
It depends who wins at the trial, you the victim or you the perpetrator.
depends. does he get arrested for trying to kill you? if he gets away, and you don't just start telling the paramedics, doctors, nurses, and investigating officers that you hired the person who tried to kill you and failed? gosh, probably not...
Well, I do know that in The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion "Shivering Isles" expansion, a guy paid me to kill him and when I openly pushed him off a high ledge to his death right in front of a guard, she just said "we really should install a railing; that happens all the time" and didn't even try to arrest me.
It depends on which country you are in. You could at least be charged with 'conspiracy to commit murder'. It would be considered an attempted suicide and in some countries that could land you in prison (some hold a life sentence).
If someone gets the correct answer please let us all know. Weird question but a poser all the same.
If I hire a bank robber to rob a bank and he fails, will i get in trouble for giving him the job? uhh yes! Well unless you're like super rich and famous you can get away with a lot of s**t by just buying the most expensive lawyers and all. But yes, the person that calls the shots is also breaking the law. If it would technically be considered suicide thats another thing, but as long as you use a nickname once you order it... i guess nobody can ever proof its suicide. Wait, where is this going...

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.
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.

Are people really this stupid or were most of these written by kids competing who could write the silliest?

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.
