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.

Stupidity Is Contagious
Well Then
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.
What Is It With Parents And Their 14 Yr Olds Stuffed Animals
Uuummmm... What?
Umm... What? She Wants To Call The Cops On The Person Minding His Own Business In His Own House
"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.
Oof Ow My Privacy
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
All Women Were Lesbian Before The Invention Of Baby Bottles And Formula!
I recommend you pop open your cranium and wash your brain once, it will solve majority of your problems
This can't be real, it just can't be. If it is real, it's precisely why people should take some sort of test before they're allowed to procreate.
Please don't be real, please don't be real, please don't be real.
A far more troubling question for him should be if he considers breastfeeding a sexual act, then why would he be ok with an incestuous relationship. For either child. For real though, I think he's trolling.
I ma more troubled by the fact that this guy reproduced at all, how come this guy remembers how to breathe at all.

This guy was the strongest sperm from his father's balls ?!?!? Seriously?!?!! 😭😱😳
Next thing, he will worry about his son turning out gay because he didn't "attack" his wife's breasts with the same fervor as his daughter :D
So what if your baby is lesbian? Doesn’t make them an alien does it? They stay human, they just fancy a different sex. What’s wrong with that?
Wouldn't think so, bub. This Venn Diagram of "Aliens" and "Lesbians" has a bit in the middle. That dark splodge is "New Mexico Whiptail Lizards". /s

Probably not an attempt at humour, but the end result is humorous anyway.

This can't be real, but in case it is, here's what I'd say to OP: Bless your heart. If this were true, I sure wish your mother was breast fed as a baby... It would have put a stop to this stupidity, and maybe your wife would have found more suitable husband material. I feel sorry for your kids.
Breast are not biologically meant for sexual purposes you f*****g muppet.
I recommend you let your wife handle the child rearing or if she feels the same as you please put them both up for adoption because the last thing we need is more kids growing up to be bigots
the same person who describes his wife forcing a breast into his daughter's face....also describes his daughter voraciously attacking said breast, which is what stoked his fears. you cannot reason with someone like this, look at how broken their thought process is...
I would like to confirm this is how lesbians are made. I was breastfed and am now a lesbian. To be fair, it's also how straight people are made. And trans people. And Cis people. And everyone who wasn't formula fed
I pity the woman who is married to this moron and the children who have him as a parent. He should never have reproduced.
I strongly recommend you get a vasectomy, then pray to whichever god you believe in to reverse the STUPID genes you passed on to your two innocent children. If your wife had a brain, she'd get a divorce from your dumbass.
It's a nice variation on "breastfeeding makes boys gay!" Like, hello, until rather recently, your choice for feeding a baby was either someone's boob or a nanny goat, and not everyone had access to goats. If breastfeeding really turned people gay, we would've died out long ago.
"Is this how lesbians are made?" Nooo, silly... they are carefully and slowly built out of tinted clay. D'ohh!!!
nah they're built in a pakistani sweatshop by the thousands

Some people are so dumb they shouldn't procreate... like this moron...
I swear to glob, people should be required to take an IQ test prior to having children.
This is soo messed up I’m surprised that they managed to jump that far mentally to get from baby is hungry to omg she a raging lesbian that’s attacking his wife’s breasts
That guy is creepy... YOUR BABY IS NOT TURNED ON BY SUCKING ON HER MOTHER'S BOOBS YOU FREAK!
First, lesbians aren't "made" they're born that way. Second...did you ever think your daughter is aggressive because she's...I don't know...HUNGRY?!? And what kind of pervert are you anyway to see an innocent child who is being breastfed like babies have been since forever and attribute it to something sexual?
Breast are for nursing children, what happens when we sexualize a part of the body that shouldn't be sexualized to begin with. I have never understood why breast are considered sexual. They produce milk to fed babies, so perhaps if we did away with the damn oedipus complex little pea brained people like this dude would find something else to shame their wives for.
I don't know if your mum breastfed you or not but they must have banged your head few times. What if you daughter is lesbian, bi sexual or pan sexual. Maybe your wife is a lesbian for letting another female suck on her breasts. Come on BP, this cant be real, this is stand-up material, "heard the joke about guy who thought is babe was a dyke because she enjoyed sucking boobs"
I cant eat as much as I wanna vomit right now. How is this kind of stupidity still around?!
You are very wise to be concerned about your infant daughter turning into a lesbian because of breastfeeding. There is solid evidence this how lesbians are made so you must put a stop to it once.
I’m not sure what grosses me out more .. that he thinks breastfeeding will make his daughter a lesbian because she’s sucking on a boob so this must be sexual or that using that same line of thinking he was perfectly ok with his son breastfeeding….
What you need to do is stop sexualizing your daughter being breastfed. Only a pervert would analyze breastfeeding to this degree. She attacks them, as you sickingly put, because she's freaking hungry.
I bet this guy also thought injecting bleach instead of taking a covid vaccine was a good idea too.
Ok so this guy is stupid and a homophobe. We got one knuckle sandwich order here.
there should be tests before people are allowed to breed. This "person" has passed on these genes.
Of course if you bottle feed her she will end up addicted to sex toys so there is no easy solution. The only way out is to not have girl children, I recommend laying her out on a mountain for theGods to take her and trying for another boy baby instead.
So a completely natural thing makes people lesbian now? People suck.
Well, babies suck, which is kind of the point here :)

Oh it's on! That baby is mocking you by suckling eagerly, while you watch! Kick her out to the back porch, and suckle wife's breast through glass door while "SHE" watches! Yea, be the mature adult here!
You are right. That is exactly how girls become lesbians. It all from breast feeding. Freaking idiot.
The best thing you can do for your baby is to give her mothers milk for at least 6 months that will not make her a lesbian only a strong child who is immune to all sorts of viruses love her and care for her as a loving mother should
this is the problem with society sexualizing women breasts when the primal biological function is to feed babies... wtf... I can only imagine horror scenes of this man's logic to make the baby "straight"... why are these people reproducing?!!
'is this how lesbians are made".... no but it defs shows there is at least one brainless moron present here.
Buddy you are warped! There are millions of women who have been breastfed as infants who are not lesbians. My own daughter is one of them.
That is probably the most stupid thing i have heard, but also hilariously funny. Who is this moron! I feel like a twit even believing this TWITPOST! I WONDER IF HIS FAMILY ARE IN SERIOUS DANGER?
It’s a wonder he even new how to make a baby in the first place
A woman's breasts are NOT for someone's pleasure, Including YOU. A woman's breasts are there to NURTURE BABIES. Get your mind OUT OF THE GUTTER.
There is no legit science backing your claim. Most sexual preferences are made prior to birth.
Stop sexualizing breastfeeding you moron! Your daughter eats with gusto and you need therapy.
Your wife needs a new husband + your kids need a new dad. That is all...
Your daughter is hungry, that's why she "attacks" the boobie. You, however, need psychiatric help immediately.
“Should I stay pissed atmy wife” for breastfeeding her baby… divorcereason right there. Breats main function is BABYFOOD. His sexual oppressive fantasies are horrible. And then being pissed at his poor wife… misogyn, homofobe, and aggressive too. Yirks. Bresstfeeding is the far better nutrition for baby, also for healthy bonding.
Yeah cos babies drink breast milk cos they’re horny 🙄 And having pussy is worse than d**k in your face 🙄 Poor children.
um, sir, have you ever considered the fact that some babies are hungrier than others? and how can you be pissed at your wife for feeding your child if she's just providing for her baby? but if you wanna believe it, go ahead. i mean, i was breastfed, and i turned out bi so...yeah
as a bisexual girl who was bottlefed. 1. stop being homophobic 2. stop sexualizing your baby
Omg , this is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. That's saying a lot .
It's really sad that people are so sexualized about breasts that they forget their function. I suspect having him as a father might make his daughter lesbian 😂
What your daughter "turns out to be" is her own damned business. From now on let the mother raise the kid, or do your wife and the kid a favor and leave. You're a shite father.
I honestly have way too many occasions to say this, but once again…are the straights ok?
Lesbian here, and for what it's worth I was told I REFUSED to take to breastfeeding as an infant and they had to switch to formula. As an adult though I have no such aversions 😁
So, before the invention of formula all women were lesbians. Interesting
Three points: 1. the baby girl is an 'it'? 2. since baby girls (and boys) and in fact all mammal babies have been breastfed for millions of years I would have expected the human race to have died out a long time ago. 3. and what about boys, does it turn them into homosexuals?
How do you have a wife? Probably not the only bright thinking of you in your world?!!
Yep. The odd of this happening increase exponentially. It's actually close to but not quite reaching 100% odds that this will happen. It's a good thing that throughout the existence of humanity there have always been other methods, i.e. formula and breast pumps, in place to keep this from happening. Otherwise we'd have had all those Lesbians running around in the wild and we'd have never survived as a species.
I don't know about sexual orientation. I can tell you both of these kids are predisposed to being stupid
"An act of lesbianism", like it is a crime, you know. You'd better call the cops on your baby daughter right now.
This has to be someone f*****g around from the old yahoo answers site.
By his reasoning, the bottle-fed baby would end up being an alcoholic. smh. This has to be fake.
I get it's awkward to see kids do things tgat are sexual to adults (but innocent to tgem), but it's not like they know any better... And ESPECIALLY here, as boobs are originally meant to feed babies.
Wow. Just wow. "Is this how lesbians are made?" Really?? I hope both his kids come out. And I hope his wife comes out too and leaves him for a woman. Would serve him right.
So boys turn gay how then if girls become lesbians by breastfeeding?
Well he has a point. All other mammals breast feed and all their females are lesbian . . .
Just tell him to think of it as "girl on girl" porn. He'll think its awesome then!
Drink a bottle of bleach, you might start to have clean thoughts again.
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.

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.
