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.

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.

I guess you could boast about your free access to health care... Oh right. Or your comprehensive social security... oh, never mind. Umm... You could talk about your affordable housing... Actually, don't bother.
Just accept it, Americas is not the greatest country, it is just the dellusion of many americans.
Even smart Americans aren't delusional enough to believe that America is the greatest. 90% of us would move out if we could afford to. America has never been great and it will never be great because of greedy Americans who are willing to step on others for money.
Load More Replies...There's no such thing as "the greatest country in the world" they all suck
Except Switzerland... Who knows where the money came from? /s we all know it's nazis
Load More Replies...You brainless uncooked spaghetti!!! There is a whole world outside your limited little bubble. Fun fact: The USA just are the greatest country when it comes to egocentricity. And they have the greatest Health system. /s
Hell, I'm an American, and I know the USA is NOT the greatest country in the world. I suggest you Google this. It's amazing how far down America ranks on the many, varied lists. *America is #1 for incarceration*, I'll give you that, but is that great or something to be proud of? Listen to your Canadian friend because he might know a lot more than you're crediting him.
America is the greatest country in the world when you look at the nature it has. (At least, what's left of it.) And I'm sure there a great people living there. It's just a shame that the idiots have taken over the country and are working very hard on the development of time travel. They can't wait to get back to 1850 "when women knew their place and slavery wasn't an issue." Extremist groups are now considering if they shouldn't apply the Taliban tactics in the USA...
Damn Conservatives, they literally can't keep their noses out of women's private parts.
Load More Replies...my english teacher thinks that america is the greatest, war free country. help i'm being educated by a trumpie
When something is genuinely great you don't have to tell people it is, they tell you!
You can't...there's a difference between a citizen of the united states and a 'Murican. Citizens of this country are well aware that we suck. 'Muricans refuse to believe this country isn't the best and will try to indoctrinate anyone that will listen into believing as they do. If you're going to be friends with someone in the country I reside in I would recommend avoiding the 'Muricans, keep your guard up and stay safe :)
he's needs to be stupider than you to be convinced so... make him stupid? *shrug
I wonder how many Americans (US) nowadays really think that? Sounds superbrainwashed...
AS a non-American from reading social media I think an awful lot still think they live in the paradise of the world.
Load More Replies...If you were a real patriot, you would know that the answer is to shoot out his kneecaps with the semi-automatic rifle you got at WalMart when you were picking up some PBR and lotto tickets.
How about looking at a map and see that America is actually a continent (or two if you look closely) and not only one country? And the USA is still far from the greatest country in the world.
And this is why America isn't the greatest country in the world. Our obsession with staying ignorant is concerning.
Load More Replies...The UK is, they have free healthcare (NHS) and there quite a rich country
No one has FREE health care, except for the lazy/refugees etc.
Load More Replies...you can not as America is not the best lol Your just think it is. Canada and Australia know better
He's right I'd hate to say it but our country has gone straight to hell in a hand basket...
You can't convince a single country in the world about it! America is the Florida of the world. It scares the s**t out of me how America has changed to a third world country. Truly a terrifying thaught!
First of all why do you even believe America is the greatest country in the world? If you are asking you can't already be sure
Maybe you should sit down and think about what makes a great country, and then do some research to see how America compares to other countries. Ask your friend what he thinks are characteristics of a great country, and compare America with other countries on those measures too. Then you can present the evidence to your friend and convince him.
I have never been able to understand why anyone can even say that Usa is the greatest country in the world🤨. Like what do those people say about it if you ask what is so great? I really cant see a single thing that the u.s does better then others, sorry
We're better at providing access to guns without proper training. Especially if you're a domestic terrorist!
Load More Replies...You can't.cuz it's not.COMING FROM AN AMERICAN ICELAND IS THE BEST!or is it Greenland DONT REMEMBER
It's actually my third favorite place that I would move to if I could afford to move out of the United States.
Load More Replies...Go pretty much anywhere where they have paved roads and point out things that are better in the usa. 0
Load More Replies...you can boast of your high poverty rates, unemployment, people living on the street corners, skyrocketing food prices, tax, inflation, petrol hikes, and crime reports. I am living in South Africa but when I watch the world news it sure looks like I could have lived anywhere it is the same everywhere.
There is something wrong with american sense of nationalism...there is no such thing as the greatest country in the world. We all have our own perks and faults...I don't even want to go to the US because way too many people carry guns
show them your guns and go out screaming 'murica!! with a flag flowing behind you, that will totally convince them
This belief is only held by those who have never been outside of American borders. The last international census put Canada as #1 for the best country on the planet to live in, and the US was #12.
You could also mention how your country has been at peace for 200 years, never mind you guys never have gone longer than 3 years of peace before you're in another war!! Maybe you could mention how money doesn't win elections it is the will of the people!! That won't work either!! Hang on I will think of something like no sales tax in some States for all that means!!
We are not the greatest Country in the world. We only rate #1 in things like prisoners per capita and most homicides by gun... we're kind of a shitty country in a lot of ways. Still, as a woman with the freedoms I'm afforded here - there aren't too many other places I'd rather be, but even those freedoms are being eroded by Republican agendas so I may leave anyway...
Canada is the best, and there ain’t nothing in the world that can convince me otherwise.
Start voting for people whose policies support the majority of Americans and not just the wealthy.
Okay, this is problematic on a couple levels. I'm assuming your friend in Canada was referring to the United States as not the greatest country in the world. 1) The U.S. is not the greatest country in the world. 2) Maybe you could just convince your friend that you are both in America (North America).
America is a great country, no doubt. However, there are several European countries that are more for its citizens than America/
Quora is full of such stupid questions. Sometimes I don't know what to do when I see so much ignorance, to laugh, or to cry.
This is stupid and fake. Stop the America bashing. It's seriously annoying. Yes yes , we know. Every country is perfect except America. We are a bunch of fun toting , racist morons who want to pay tons for healthcare . Your free healthcare isn't free. You pay double the taxes we do. You can wait months to see a specialist in any field. You aren't perfect . We aren't perfect. Why don't we all stop taking shite on social media
Use your Second Amendment rights and buy an assault rifle at Walmart. Then point it at their head while waving an American flag (the biggest one Walmart offers of course) and shouting "USA! USA! USA!". Then ask them to reconsider and they will know the correct answer to give.
Make sure that everyone has access to affordable and easily available abortions, at least until week 16.
Here’s an idea: try it with your best arguments! If he’s still not convinced maybe your claim is wrong
Prove it to him buy going over Niagara falls in nothing but a flag swim suit.
Play "Canadian Idiot" by Weird Al Yankovic. Then laugh with him while you watch some classic holiday movies.
Once again, leave him alone. He can think whatever in the hell he wants.
And common sense seems to be out of style in America as you act like know and have done for a while. Nothing makes sense over there! Nothing!!!
you look him right dead in the eye and in your deepest , manliest voice growl out "Murica" That should do it. If that doesn't then fall back to plan B. Hang around him eating hamburgers and hot dogs, with a gun strapped to your hip, and wearing a cowboy hat. Little by little the greatness of Murica will seep into him by osmosis and soon he will believe.
Technically, russia is the greatest (largest) country in the world, but if you say that to him his uncle sam top hat will fly all the way to the ceiling
Make it the greatest country in the world, then try to convince him again.
Give him the address of Bored Panda - this site has many many articles comparing his country to the rest of the world. And eye-openers, they are.
Too much work. If you can convince him we are not the absolute worst I say it's a win.
Tell him how many homeless people there are and that the authorities do nothing to help them.
To you, America is not the greatest country, I would know since I was rasied and born there
I think what upsets people from other countries is the USA is exceeding good at slagging off other countries whilst believing they are so superior.
Load More Replies...Also - the monarchy is only a ceremonial thing now and does not leech anything- but continue to think you are the best... it is a mighty fine delusion they painted for you.

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.
