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.
This Is Incredibly Disgusting, And Also Child Abuse
Don't Forget The Padded Bra, Champ!
How To Make Your Child Grow Up
How about the mother grows up.. On a serious note that question really got me thinking if the child would want to live to grow up, she puts pressure like that.. it's scary and depressing..
Load More Replies...This is heart breaking and psychological child abuse. Poor poor child
The question is how does she get away from a horrible parent.. I never even got B+ and my parents were happy. I passed. That's it
One of my relatives tailors her expectations for her three children. One is brilliant and a B+ would be a sign of something wrong; another would be doing brilliantly well with a B+ and the third is in between.
Load More Replies...You know sometimes I think it should be mandatory for someone to have a psych eval (weed out sociopaths) and take parenting courses before they are allowed to procreate.
That's a terrible thing to say and I hope you burn for the rest of eternity.
You rotten bastard. Maybe your mother should have aborted you!!! Hope this child talks to a teacher and gets removed from her "mother"
What a cruel bitch you are when your daughter is 18 you will never see her again
No, i don't want you anymore. WHY ARE YOU CRYING STOP IT GROW UP!!!!! /s
I feel SO bad for that child. Imagine having a mother like that. My dad's mom used to tell him she wished she aborted him...even when he was a grown man with a military career, a college education, a beautiful wife and children, a nice home, etc. Some people are beyond awful.
Release all parental rights and have her adopted by a loving, caring, intelligent person.
Right now I feel that, if a fire declare and I had to chose between saving that woman or anything else... I would chose to save the trash. Woman, you do not deserve your child.
You f**k up of a person, YOU TOLD A CHILD YOU WISH THEY WERE NEVER BORN AFTER GETTING AN OK GRADE
Additionally have absolutely no more children.
Load More Replies...HOLY S*IT THE NERVE!! WHERE IS THIS PERSON SO I CAN GIVE EM A GOOD HARD SLAP????!?!?
*many years later* "Why's my ungrateful daughter dumping me in a nursing home?"
JESUS! Learn how to be a decent parent! MY daughter is about to turn 9 I can't imagine ever saying something like that to her. Shame on you.
I want to punch that person. I want to punch them in the face until they cry and then shout at them for crying. I hope they enjoy this, I mean they basically do the same.
By you, drinking as much rat ....um...liquid in a bottle as you can. The kind with a skull and crossed bones on it will be fine. Shell understand.
it is a shame that your daughter has to grow up with a mother like you, you do not deserve this bright kid or any other child. I hope she is reading this
I'd really wish this person had considered that 9 years ago... you shouldn't have any kid
Are you sure that this isn't a troll putting in these stupid ideas? I can see a mean and nasty parent saying they wish they had aborted her for doing really stupid stuff, but for getting a B+ in a test? Nah - not happening.
You should grow up first, what to you did was wrong, crazy, insensitive, malignant, and I could go on. i feel sorry for your daughter!
Have some one else bring her up, your a danger to her mental health. So disgusted with what you said to the poor child
My mother told me that she wished she'd never had me while I was going through a major depressive episode. Way to go and be supportive.
OMG!! what kind of parent are you?? You should have never had children!! You better hope she doesn't tell someone & have it get to a Social worker you may lose her.
Every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child
Too bad OP's mom didn't have an abortion. And I am against abortions as a form of birth control. In this moron's case, there should be an exception.
Wow you are one of the absolute worst parents I've ever seen ... That's an awful thing to say to your child and for getting a B a B WOW a B is not a bad grade you are pathetic... You need to grow up not her ...you are sick..
She's a child. Let her grow up in her own time. The mother on the other hand, needs a right talking to.
She is growing up, but she's only 9 years old. You have no idea of the damage you've done.
I think it is you who should grow up. What is a retard doing making kids anyway? You should have been locked up years ago!
wtf would you tell your child that you wish you aborted them? this is like psychological abuse. and a B+ is a damn good grade, at least it's not an F.
This has to be one of the most evil, twisted and cruel things I've ever read.
Is she serious! Abortion in my opinion is ok if you can't take care of your child but if it's just you being selfish don't go throwing your legs in the air
Start a savings account for your kid to see a psychologist. She's definitely going to need a lot of help growing up with a parent like you.
911 what's your emergency? I found a reason to do a hate crime, should i do it?
I wish I could personally pummel this pathetic excuse of a person. My mother told me much the same when when I was 13 - at 66 it still haunts me.
Have her adopted by parents who care. It is obvious that you don't care.
anyone would cry after their parent says someone like this. age does not matter
Get her an attorney so she can stop being your daughter and be given to someone who actually deserves kids
You are cruel a B+ is not bad. You are the one who needs to grow up.
She will grow up, she will also remember this, the thing is you need to grow up. That was a horrible thing to say to a kid. I'm 73 and I still remember my mom telling me my real mother was going to come and get me. Think before you speak, and you better tell her you are sorry and how much you love her and hope she will accept it.
By letting her live with someone else in an environment where she is loved, accepted and nurtured. Also - you're a complete c*nt.
You are a cold, heartless parent. You're putting a lot of pressure on her with no parental support and that's bad. 9-15 is a very hard time frame for a girl. Watch yourself or you could end up with a suicide statistic instead of a daughter.
Idiot mother. My mom died at my brother's birth, and my dad blamed him for this. My bro is now 50 and still have the trauma.
I'd be surprised if this one was real. A lot of people on Quora seem to like to make up crazy stories just so that people will get angry enough to respond to their question. I think the attention gives them a dopamine hit, like addiction.
Well. I'm stumped. Sounds like a great way to teach your child to reach their full potential. Wth?
Your child will never be able to unhear that - knowing that you wished you never had her. I'm 54 years old and was told the same thing. I suffer from major depression my whole life. Great job Mom - you are the failure, not her.
How could a mother even think to say something like that? She doesn't deserve her daughter
obviously this moron never got a B+ in any test. Maybe this sorry excuse for a parent is the one who needs to grow up!.
She'll grow up. She'll grow up scarred for life because of what you said to her. Back off is what you can do. Let her grow and shed you like the dried up old skin.
The only upside your mother didn't abort you is that you have a daughter right now.
You need to grow up first; you can't teach her something you don't know yourself.
There are just so many people who should have never, ever should have had children. Why can't this be regulated? It is the most important job most people will ever have and there are so many children out there who are neglected, abused, traumatized, etc. because their parents don't have an effing clue about what it means to be a responsible, loving caretaker and guardian. Some people just should not breed.
Find new parents for her. YOU should be sterilized. She hsouldhave been adopted out and you put down.
Give her to parents that will love her regardless and don't ever speak to her again, you damn troll monster.
You should be an example and grow out of your ass and let her be a child an be proud of her! B+ is a great thing for any kid to get on any test. and she seems to be a bright and kaind girl.❤ love and respect her and be PROUD!!! Omg!
My daughter just completed her GCSEs was in the lower classes hugest she could get was C* , and had her heart set on going to 6th form and A levels I just told her if she worked hard share would get the 5 Cs required and if she didn't it didn't matter there would be something out there for her , well she smashed it out of the park got her grades and started 6th form yesterday ,
YOU ARE AN ASS! Plain and simple. You get her to grow up by setting an example. Your poor little girl. And she is a "little girl". We all learn as we grow from mature adults who understand the various developmental stages. A B+ at nine years old makes her a very smart little girl and she should be praised (hopefully from a parent) for her accomplishment. Keep treating her like this and YOU will be responsible for the messed up young lady she becomes. Shame on you...!!! You need to speak with a child psychologist (or just any adult with compassion for a child as she grows!)
Leave the parenting to someone else and she'll grow up more tgan you
By reading her imbecile post I doubt she ever had anything better than a D- at school
I dont get it. is the mother disapointed the girl didnt get an A or is she disapointed she isnt failing at everything like she used to at her age?
I suggest you start with growing up yourself. It would be better if you had done that before you had a kid.
The first thing you need to do, is to give her a good example of a mature grown up, clearly. this isn't you. (also congrats to the kid on the B+ that's actually a really good grade!)
Wait another 9 years until she moves away and you never hear from her again.
You get her to tell a social worker, who will intervene due to the verbal abuse she gets at home and either get your nasty *ss some help or get her to a better environment where she can grow up in time, slowly, with love and support.
Maybe she should have. Rather than being the daughter of the most evil nasty women ever. That is a disgusting thing to say to anyone. B+ is a really good grade
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.
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.
