50 Things You Probably Never Knew Existed Shared By “Yup That Exists” Instagram Page
If you ever feel like you’ve seen it all, done it all, bought it all, then you clearly haven’t spent enough time on the internet. We might spend way more time online than your average Panda, but even we get surprised by some of the things we stumble across. To say that these make us do a double-take would be a disservice: there’s a third take and a fourth one, too.
One page that really caught our attention is the ‘Yup That Exists’ project, found on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and elsewhere. ‘Yup That Exists’ documents all the bizarre and unusual things that “you never knew existed.” From strange facts and products that will raise more eyebrows than we can count to wonderfully weird things that you’ll want to share with your friends.
Scroll down for the best of ‘Yup That Exists,’ and upvote your fave pics, dear Pandas. If you have a moment or two, we’d love to hear which of these things you were most surprised by. So drop on by the comment section.

Imagine driving on the road one night, and seeing glowing roots in air
really would feel like living in a christmas movie
Load More Replies...You are indeed correct. While it has been confirmed that the Finnish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry did experiment with painting reindeer's antlers and fur with reflective paint to alert drivers way back in 2014, the accompanying photo is a hoax. "The photo used in the post is not real – it's an illustration, made using 3D software by visual designer Vasjen Katro. T"
Load More Replies...Haha you beat me to it by 3 hours! I just left that comment and scrolled down and saw yours 😂! Great minds think alike!!!
Load More Replies...Want to spray me heard of unicorns as they like to play around/hide n' seek at bed time.
We should put this on elephant tusks so they won't be murdered for ivory!
Reindeer are not hunted. They are semi domestic and all of them have owners.
Load More Replies...That , while encountering without knowing this, would actually make me believe that there is a godlike deer running through those Woods.
But the thing is, that this is not true at all. The picture is photoshopped and old.
Load More Replies...This is probably one of the coolest things. Now I want to be a wood nymph with glowing horns lol
Whenever I see a deer on the rode looking to cross, I just start honking my horn, the sound scares them, and then they run back into the woods. Hoping I can a least save a few, but this is a good idea too!
What a fabulous idea! Deer and moose vs. car strikes are very much a problem where I live in Maine.
That would have been very helpful some years ago. Driving on a mountain road and we didn't see the deer until they turned their heads to look at the oncoming lights from our car. Fortunately, we were driving a safe speed for conditions - very very slow.
I have often thought if we sprayed other animals that are killed for their husks, antlers, ivory etc with a stain it might protect them from poachers in other countries.
In some places where elephants or rhino are killed for their horns or tusks, game keepers catch and sedate them, remove that part, and let them go. It's a shame but the game hunters then have no reason to kill these animals that are endangered.
Load More Replies...There are reindeers all over Lapland in different areas and biggest roads do have fences but not all.
Load More Replies...We here n Colorado would benefit from this. I've had several close encounters with deer and elk over the years. Love this solution.
False. Those aren't deers that live in Finland and a wider version on the right hand frame makes it obvious the photo isn't from Finland (English signage). My guess would be Canada.
We should do this with deer and moose(bulls) in Canada. Long as it doesn't harm them. Make easy targets for hunters though..or poachers
I love this idea. However is it to protect profits or to protect the animals and prevent accidents?
Great idea, but...(yes, I'm gonna be *that* person! ;oP) How many *farmed* deer are likely to be roaming the roads at night, and what about all the wild deer? Who's gonna catch 'em and paint 'em? Hmm?
Repeat after me; reindeer and deer are not the same thing. Depends on the area but reindeers are pretty much free all year long.
Load More Replies...They grow antlers too but smaller and we don't actually do that^^
Load More Replies...That would be so cool see a team of reindeer with glowing antlers pulling a sleigh.
In my home state of Texas, some asshole would think this a cool way to guide hunters to an easy kill.
Maybe the deer won't get hit so much, but I think road accidents will increase when you see ghost antlers in the dark.
Now THAT is clever!!! Gotta do some nice Green on the hoofs, though!!!
All I know is hitting deer (when you are driving a car) is the #1 way people get decapitated. 😧 I live in Upstate NY where I know more people than not who have hit deer.
As a former arts educator who often has to argue to defend the arts, arts education, and promoting creativity in classroom teaching, this solution is a fantastic example of creative minds at work!
Serious question! Is that safe for the deer? It looks cool and all but just concerned.
Forget elf on the shelf. Rudolph's grand-kids ensure you stay good instead of just watching.
Like Skye said. Reindeer. For tourism, racing, meat and some people make jewelery out of antler bone.
Load More Replies...as though seeing this appear in the fog at night wouldn't shock me into crashing my car.
Reindeer*. And they grow antlers too just smaller
Load More Replies...Farmers have been doing this cows for years to stop them from being shot during hunting season.
Sort of. You'll see one once you go north enough and it covers the whole northern part of the country.

Meanwhile, the ‘Yup That Exists’ project has over 401k followers on Instagram. Whereas on TikTok, it has over 554.8k followers and has collected over 14.8 million likes across all of its videos. Say what you like, but strangeness clearly sells, especially when paired with interesting information. And the entire project has won over the hearts of many an internet user.
Amazing! I love that they thought about how to be inclusive here. What a great project.
However, you describe the things in this list—peculiar, odd, downright bizarre, or even aesthetically challenged—one fact remains: they’re eye-catching. They stand out. They hook you and reel you in because they’re so far away from the norm.
Earlier, Bored Panda spoke about this with Swiss design experts Jonas Nyffenegger and Sébastien Mathys who run the Ugly Design Instagram project. According to them, they have a love for ugliness that keeps growing, meaning the line between ugliness and beauty gets blurred. And that helps content stand out from the crowd.
"It appears more and more of our followers have completely lost their taste. That’s a good thing. It means they’ll have to find it again. It will most likely be forever changed,” they told us.
Jonas and Sébastien explained to Bored Panda that different designs stand out from the crowd on social media. “When seeing an ugly design rather than perfect aesthetics (as defined in the 21st century)—scrollers takes notice,” they said that unpredictability wows viewers.
Some people even take bizarre designs to a whole other level by incorporating them into their homes and gardens. History teacher James Hull and landscape architect Bede Brennan, the founders of another popular Instagram page that celebrates weirdness in gardens, told Bored Panda that just because something has a funny vibe, a weird aesthetic, or is different doesn’t necessarily make it bad.
"We love the way people put themselves out there with their gardens. Gardens are a really personal thing and are always on display out the front of your home. They require huge amounts of effort and upkeep too," they said that even ugliness has artistic and aesthetic merit.
Wait, you can read books in Minecraft? Sorry, I've never played. Mostly Nintendo games and point-and-click adventures on Steam.
"Certainly, there is something about the ugly aesthetic which stands out on Instagram, a garden doesn’t have to be classically beautiful to stand out, make you happy, or be a landmark in the real world either," James and Bede told us that the peculiar really does stand out on people’s social feeds.
how it works: they carefully prune the branches of Kitayama cedar trees, ensuring the remaining shoots grow straight upwards. this results in round and straight timber (taruki) like the trees in the picture. harvesting takes around 20 years and the trees can grow up to 100 shoots at a time.

Epic!!!! (duh, reread the title....owe it to the 1 am Bored panda browsing) I used oatmeal boxes.
I hate things like that and I don't even smoke. I fully support smoking bans in public places where your smoke can harm others but what I do with my body is not the business of a nanny state government.
It's the same with the Youth Hostel at the Rocks in Sydney! Not only can you see the historical dig site underneath, but there are glass cases in the common room displaying various artefacts.

This must've taken quite an effort to make, even the details are all there. I love it!
And also home to several Great Old Ones and other cosmic horrors...
The books will soon be in the British Library, to join the rest of the Parthanon in the British Museum ;o)
Yeah it was a twitter or fb account or something and programmed to read the comments and tags from other people and learn human behaviour from there - they made the mistake of telling people this mf existed 😂

Another awesome post! I'm gonna try and stick to there inspiring posts, and forget about the negative ones.
I'm trying that. It certainly cuts down on browsing time and unnecessary negativity. Sometimes curiosity wins though.
Load More Replies...This entire post is a great argument for arts education and creative problem-solving! So many clever, simple, and cost-effective problem-solving ideas come from outside the box, creative thinkers. Show this thread to anyone who says studying art is a waste of time!
There's a lot of spelling errors, but other than that, I really enjoyed this post!
Great and informative information
interesting and clever !!! Please keep it going. Sincerely, a pleased panda peeper
The ones that specifically mention America are like OooOoOOhhh look at the pretty colors, you can be burned after death if you want!! But ALSO did we mention we let a DUCK race in our marathon?? We look so simple in comparison 😂 but good for that duck tho!
More like this and less of the anti-science blue-haired trans-vaccinated crap you usually spew
I was all happy until #50. Now I am going to have existential nightmares about robot klansmen. I didn't need to learn this fact.
Apart from the spelling errors and factual liberties, I guess this was fine.
More of these please. I skip most pages these days because they are so negative.
So, once again, Japan proves that even their silliest of ideas are still aweing the rest of the world. Meanwhile, they have a serious population decline and everything there just costs so much money.
