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 have a pair exactly like these and the leather inside of the sole is now worn so smooth and shiny that my feet make farting noises with every step unless I wear socks with them.

People's feet do not exist for your viewing. Socks and sandals make a more sanitary and comfortable combination, and if it bothers you so much, don't look down.

I wear them with long pants when it's still a little chilly. Never with shorts. Just jeans.

I take exception to this image. Sandals rule, still, age takes its toll. Feet get sensitive and need protection. I wear "jogger socks" around my home: never going into the outside world looking like a dweeb. Heaven forbid!

The problem with all the hate about this is that the alternative of wearing no socks with sandals is not really that great.

I was on medication that made my feet swell. I could not wear my shoes or even get my feet in regular shoes. I bought sandals with ajustable straps. It was spring and still a bit chilly so I wore socks. You never know.

Wearing socks with sandals is an ancient tradition. A 2,000 y.o. Roman sandal was recovered preserved in the anaerobic mud of the Thames that had wool fibers caught in its stitching.

In India, girls have to use it, here it is assumed that shoes are not for girls, so they go for sandals but with a lot of dust and traveling, the only protection for feet is socks.

This seems to go hand in hand with retirement. For some reason people retire And start to do this... I bet if you panned up they would be in basketball shorts and a button up shirt.

Just for the record socks with sandles are 100% acceptable in Colorado. However anywhere else they should be banned.

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.
