The universe is full of stuff. And some stuff is certainly more useful and more necessary than others. There are things that we need and have, then there’s stuff that we know we need, but don’t have, and then there’s stuff we know we don’t need.

But wait, there’s more. There’s also a fourth category—the stuff we are certain nobody on this planet really needs but for some reason exists. This is what Twitter has been discussing in a recent viral trend under the hashtag #StuffThatShouldNotExist.

Recently people started naming things that should not exist, but for some unknown reason are a thing. Besides all those taking a jab at Twitter’s image centering AI and everything that is wrong with the world, they have also shared pictures of things like carpets in bathrooms, Nicholas cage sequin pillows, and everything else that is either creepy, ugly or just plain useless.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the best entries in this new challenge, which you can peruse below. And while you’re doing that, why not also leave an upvote and comment under the ones you enjoyed the most!

These are illegal in Korea. (Still many people use them, but they're urged to replace them)

I think these are cool. Creepy toys aren't a bad thing, people. They aren't meant for little kids who'd be scared by them. Also, way less scary than some dolls...Like the clown from Poltergeist, lol.

I bought my dad a pen holder many moons ago which was a man bent over with his pants down. You put the pen in its butt and the man lifts his head and moans in many different ways.

Gelatin is a meat byproduct (usually made from bones, ligaments, hides and chicken feet) so it makes perfect sense that it's used for savory dishes.

this has been eaten around the world for ages and ages, and done properly, it's delicious. I agree that the late 1900s north american versions with canned fruits and hotdogs are an abomination, but that's a blip in the history of aspic.

Aspic is actually good for people with joint problems. Here in Slovakia people buy "tlačenka", which is meat and veggies in aspic.

This "fad" was an extremely common way of preserving meat for hundreds of years

Gelatin is a meat product...So aspic kind of makes sense. It's way before my time, and I've never tried it or had the urge to, though.

There is a deli meat called Brawn. It is lumps of ham and other meat with clear jelly that is sliced like a loaf and one eats it with salad.

I've had pork broth and redcurrent jelly and it was actually really delicious. As long as you are expecting savory and not sweet.

There's a popular similar Russian dish called "Holodets", which when done properly is quite delicious. Damn, now I'm missing my nan's cooking.

Well, this actually tastes great. Here in Romania we have a traditional aspic, called "piftie" or "racitura", which consists of pork meat boiled together with lots of garlic, pepper, bay leaf and of course, pig bones. Boiled together for several hours in order for the gelatin in bones to solidify when cooled down. It's eaten especially around Christmas day.

Aspic is still very popular food in my country (Hungary). We usually eat during Christmas, but generally you can eat every day of the year.

I remember my mom making a Bloody Mary aspic. It was pretty good, although the texture was a bit off-putting.

In many cultures people eat insects, and they're a great, healthy source of protein. Idk why so many people are against them
