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
The ‘Yup That Exists’ project is very popular online. It has branched out to all the major social media channels and dug its roots deep. For instance, on Facebook, it’s amassed a whopping 711.6k followers.
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.
Sending free stuff to people? ThAt'S cOmMuNiSm! /s 🤦♀️

Wow. A government who actually cares for their people. I wonder what that's like.
People bashing the United States again. I received over $3000 in unsolicited covid relief checks. There was plenty more relief available for those in need.
Yes there was. A small business owner I know got a $165,000 loan that he didn't have to pay back as long as he used it to keep employees on the payroll.

North Koreans probably barely even see this much food, especially of this quality, in their life time.

Exactly. How many people are in that family? Is it enough for all?

In comparison, the "care package" sent by the British government was insultingly bad, some of the food was even mouldy. If I recall correctly, there was a BP article about it at the time and people were posting pictures of what they had received, it was shocking. A family of four receiving a (supposedly) week's worth of food consisting of two pieces of fruit, a loaf of bread, two tins of sardines, one packet of pasta and a 2L bottle of water.
I received those packages and, like most things, the worst of them got the media attention. Most of them were just perfectly fine. Not amazing, but that's fair enough. It was supposed to help, not replace.

population of 51,781,000 compared to 329,484,000. Think about logistics amid a multitude of regions.
Early in the pandemic when masks were hard to get the Korean government sent free kn95 masks to Korean adoptees in the USA.
great, except their lockdown is rather drastic, as is the penalty for being caught out during the lockdown.
America sucks. Politicians were fighting tooth and nail over a few measly $1200 checks while other countries were actually taking care of their citizens. I hate it here.
I got a postcard from the health department a week after testing positive recommending that I quarantine.
Wow. Western countries take note this is an amazing"package" for people that couldn't get out or scared to get go out or just following quarantine rules. Western culture has the sort of *I'm alright, stuff you jack" which is so sad.
In America we live in constant fear of becoming homeless if we get sick.
Wow! ALOT of other countries could& should take note out there! Well done Korea👍
What if you don't like the majority of that stuff? I'm rather picky.
Wow! Wish that could have been one of the things the American government had done!
Nice government, those Koreans (south, I presume), are such good people.
That has to be South Korea. They take care of their citizens. The North would rather you starve than waste any money to feed you.
Why is it the Asian governemtns care specifically for people in their iindividuality. Nobodies nme is on the box its for anyone unfortunate enough to get quarantined. I campare these actions of the politicians in Aerica, and I think America has a lot to learn. This very noice of the government to take care of the peopl ein this way.
I've noticed that America is not listed here, not one time. America is not concerned with the welfare of its citizens.
I'm extremely baffled by the duck (upper left)... That is Puddles, The University of Oregon's mascot!!!
It is actually Puddles, the mascot for the University of Oregon

In Germany, it would take two years just to invent the burocracy to decide what's in the package, do open price contest for the companies that want to be in the package and who wants to do the delivery, decide who decides who will get what package in what size, - and in the end fail completely due to Dataprotectionlaw
I see they included Gatorade. My excellent doctor, on the COVID team at a major hospital, recommended Gatorade early in the pandemic. It really did help keep people who were ilk hydrated. These eggs don't need refrigeration because they have their natural protective coating.
Western Countries take a lesson instead of telling us too bad so sad
North Korean or South Korean? I think it's important to be specific because they are wildly different.
Yes!!! First thing I saw, I'm an alum too and it is definitely Puddles.

Because they weren't allowed to leave their homes to buy food i think.
You too Trudeau you asshat love most Albertans dying in mass amounts
I can just see the line of people trying to return pieces of this (in the states). The states are special. Freedom over all apparently.
Think of logistics across a highly populated country spread out over extreme distances. South Korea has a population of 51,781,000compared to 329,484,000 in the US.
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.
