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.

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

True. And lobsters and crabs look exactly like large bugs. Yet they're somehow appealing. Go figure.

Actually, this is very good for the environment, and can help with mass breeding problems and recsorces. Also can taste really good. Never tried them, but I’ve heated fried grasshoppers taste like chicken. And also are healthier than most foods.

If you eat processed foods you are eating bugs... You just cannot tell.

I tried them once. Quite nice actually. I had them fried and were still warm, I'm not sure they would be the same cold.

This is the protein source of the future. I'm trying to work up the courage to look at using some insect flours in cooking.

I tried some fried grasshoppers once on a dare. Weren't that bad actually. I wouldn't rush out to buy any but I've eaten worse "real" food . Broccoli comes to mind.

If you eat pigs, cows, etc then why not bugs? The ew factor is cultural and we could argue that eating any creature is morally wrong. Vegetal proteins are plentiful anyway.

Insects are actually highly on protein and in most cases it's healthier than most of the stuff we eat. This post makes me think of people who would rather have starved than to take a chance.

Don't "Yuck" someone else's "Yum." The fact that *you* don't like it doesn't make it gross.
