Folks can’t help but marvel at how incredibly practical and mind-blowingly vast and interesting the internet has become.
But then you realize that it is also home to a number of communities who like all the weird, uncomfortable, and cursed content on it and then share it with the rest of the world so that we can all either hate it collectively, or ask ourselves (often rhetorically, with the hope of it being answered anyway) but why…?
Yep, this is that listicle.

I See All Of Your Cute Baby Animals. Now Check Out This Baby Wombat
Me after waking up, and suffering the trauma of waking up.
Load More Replies...Idk why but I instantly thought of Chupacabra, ik I’m weird * edit, I think I spelt that wrong 😅
Thanks I Hate Seals Looking Up
Idk what I did but I'm upset at how disappointed in me it is.... I'm sorry I'll do better, promise.
Hmmm
So, why is the internet so weird to begin with? In the internet’s own words, “because the internet is just a reflection of the world.”
Weirdness exists regardless of whether the internet is or isn’t. But since it is a thing, the internet has essentially empowered the weird ones to come out of their shell and to share it with the rest of the world. And accept it too.

A New Hotdog Topping
Like coffee toothpaste. Wake up and be clean!
Load More Replies...Maybe it‘s ketchup with bleached mayonaise and…. blue colored mustard? We had something similar at stores years ago. It was ketchup with mayonaise in a awirl, as that was and is a popular combination here. (Just joking about the first thing though)
Am I the only one to notice the one to post the hotdog... IS A KID??? (or it's just a childhood picture, I dunno)
This Snail With A Wasp Nest On It
By getting a sense of anonymity, weird folks can now use forums, social media and other modes of virtual communication to show what life is like on their end.
So, it was only a matter of time until more or less official communities started forming around this weirdness. It’s places like Reddit, 4chan and others that empower people to be themselves and to find like-minded individuals.

This Wicker Basket With Creepy Squatter
I want it!! It'll fit perfectly where I work... A Proctology Clinic.
Others in the Quora thread pointed out that the weirdness of people is not just empowered by the internet, but rather amplified. It is these communities that pave the way of how OK weirdness is and so your threshold is pushed forward for how weird(er) you can become. And, honestly, as long as it’s quality weirdness, the internet is all for it.
That's kind of interesting. Does it go all the way down? I'd like to see the process to create that.
I'd be even more impressed if the windscreen was an actual window into the pool.

I was going to say something, but I decided instead to button my lip.
There's no real symmetry or obvious pattern so i would surmise it was done for practice or out of boredom.
Load More Replies...But, as you might have understood already, the internet isn’t a key factor in people channeling their weirdness. As seen on r/But_Why, a lot of weird things happen in the real world (a.k.a. away from the keyboard) as well.
And then you spin it off into either r/ThanksIHateIt, or r/ThanksILoveIt.

She should have put blush on her cheeks so it’s looked more realistic.
It’s The Mustache That Gets Me
If it has a mouth at the speaker side of the phone, shouldn't it be an ear at the receiver end?
Nope nope Nope!- ALLLLLLLLL THE NOPE! Who wants to feel lips on their ear and practically French kiss a second pair of lips, while trying to talk on the phone!?..... now that I say this, I realise it's probably in an AV storyline SOMEWHERE! And I'm sure it's somebodies k*nk!
This comment reminds me of a episode of Big Bang Theory where I think Bernadette was away on a conference and Raj Koopthrappali and Howard are in a lap and Raj and Howard have some type of dual metal device with lips on each device. Where if a couple is separated by distance you could make out using this device. So Raj is demonstrating this device with Howard. Each one is on one of the each device. So it makes it look like they are making out with each other through this device.
Load More Replies...Weird mouths aside the knit cozy for the phone is cute. Also shouldn't it be a mouth on the top and ear on the bottom? So you're talking into the ear and the mouth talking into your ear....
Samoyed Stockings
I thought it was a furry at first. I can now see it is dog in hose. Hahaha
What's disturbing to me is how many people jumped to the assumption of sexualizing the dog.... Y'all are gross. You're saying how messed up it is but YOU'RE the ones who thought that. Puppers obviously isn't tortured or distressed either.... Stockings can be used as a comfortable alternative for cones or various compression needs. Shame on all of you saying it's gross... Your minds went there all on their own. You're the nasty ones
How useful for a cone substitute?! Surely the dog could simply rip it into shreds. Just saying 🤷
Load More Replies...But the ante keeps getting pushed and folks are constantly testing out just how far you can get with your level of weirdness without it entering scary territory.
How would you rate people literally touching eyeballs? Or someone curl-ironing their eyelids? Or banana and fish salad? Not the weirdest things you can see on the internet, but there’s something that just discomforts you inside, right?

Thanks I Hate It
Right?!? I have 1 eyelash on the very outside corner of my right eye that likes to curl up and poke me in the eyeball. That sucker gets plucked every time it grows back in.
Load More Replies...So, can you push it further? Always. Should you? It depends.
One of the reasons why weird, gross and scary things are so darned attractive, and thus empowering for those weirding everyone out is simple: evolution.
All that is grotesque and bizarre teaches us of the potential dangers out there, and we can’t help but focus on it, watch its every move, so as to learn how we can defend ourselves against it.
As a cabinet builder and now drafter for the past 20+ years, this is seriously going to haunt my dreams. So, so, so wrong.
I've seen this many tines, and I just want to know why?! It looks like it didn't need to happen!
Thanks I Hate Muppets Screams
Thanks I Hate Voldemort With A Nose
Why waste your time photoshopping it when you can just show the rehearsal photos with his real face?
I think this nose matches his personality more accurately: lord-valde...868059.jpg
Another reason behind this is something called “benign masochism.” At least with things like the horror genre, humans have a tendency to seek out seemingly negative experiences so that they could enjoy controlled risks. Perfect examples of this are riding the roller coaster or eating super spicy foods. You know you might regret it, but the risk is relatively low, and you love the thrill.
Thanks I Hate Paper Cuts On My Eye
How in the world did you GET a paper cut on your eye though? Did someone throw paper or what?
I know a dancer got a hair cut on their eye because his partner's hair scratched it. It was so bizarre and weird
Load More Replies...It feels like you have a piece of gravel in your eye and you can't get it out.
Blinking with a cut on your cornea sucks....yes, like a piece of gravel you cant get out
Load More Replies...Fluorescein stain to look for corneal abrasions. Not heard of paper cuts, but more often twigs or foreign bodies.
Anything can scratch your cornea - even hair or paper if it gets you at the right angle. As a kid my brother was hit in the eye with one of those pool diving sticks that someone threw and ended up with a huge abrasion. And an old coworker had the same injury when her dog accidentally scratched her in the face. It's supposedly super painful.
Load More Replies...When I worked at a garden center I was shaping artificial Christmas trees and I scratched my eye with one of the branches. I have very sensitive eyes because when I was younger I had two eye surgeries. As soon as it happened both of my eyes closed. I made it to the doctor with help and then went home and laid in bed in the dark with both eyes closed for four days.
I wonder if you can actually drive it? Also, that's not even the most annoying tire replacement on a truck I've seen Today, so... 🤷♀️
Whistling diesel is an idiot. He's burned so much money destroying vehicles. To begin with it was shít boxes now it's luxury and hard to find stuff.
It is a truck they already ride hard. My backside hurts from just looking at it.
Strongly Opposed To This
This is so you can go play in the dirt/mud and before you go in the house you can take these off and enter the house with clean feet.
And when you really think about it, it can become a certain psychological mechanism that empowers folks to enjoy things that have seemingly negative connotations. If you’re hardcore enough, you can crack the code and condition yourself to enjoy things that are seemingly bad, but without that belief that they are, leaving the arousal of it all. Now that sounds weird.

It’s A Plane But Also A Truck
Whatever the case, we are here and here is a place where giving yourself a gauntlet of pictures to go through that are grotesque, uncomfortable or otherwise cursed (and in some cases blursed) has become a certain kind of norm. Or at least it is accepted enough for us to not feel like we’re giving up our humanity for a cheap thrill. It’s quite the opposite.
What In The
someone on the reddit thread said it's butterfly fait: "This is probably butterfly bait! They love the fish gut smell, which smells almost exactly like putrid diarrhea. True story, one time I was setting up a high butterfly trap with fermented fish juice as the bait. Tugged too hard on the rope and the juice went all up in my face and mouth."

I recognise the basketball court but what's the other field? That looks way too small for Soccer/football.
Small field hockey? I have to assume the basketball court was there first, and they started adding other stuff afterwards. The running track being the last thing added. It looks silly but it's pretty easy to understand the "why" of this one.

This dude is pretty cool though. I think. I followed him for a while and his pages got hi-jacked, but he us a master carpenter and can build anything. Last I saw he was building on land he purchased in the AZ desert and raising funds to try and create living spaces for others. So. Do you with your tattoos.
He's still building/posting on fb and tiktok and has soooo many more tattoos, a lot of which he's done live to fund the project. I believe he tattooed his gentleman parts live to pay for the land lol
