This IG Page Disturbs Its 200K Fans With Daily Cursed Images And Here Are 30 Of Their Newest Ones
On a typical day, most of us scroll through hundreds of digital images, barely giving them a second thought before they disappear from our screens and our minds.
Some, however, are far more memorable than others. And not necessarily in a good way.
These are the kind of photos you’ll find on the Instagram account Daily Cursed Images. True to its name, the page is a collection of all things weird, confusing, and somewhat haunting, but nevertheless entertaining.
Scroll down to see for yourself if you dare—though if they leave you feeling unsettled, well, you only have yourself to blame.

To someone who hasn’t been particularly chronically online over the last decade, explaining what cursed images are can be a challenge. Words like “weird” or “bizarre” don’t quite do them justice. Honestly, trying to define them feels almost pointless—it’s something you just have to see to truly understand.

Still, there have been attempts to pin down a definition for the elusive cursed image. If you fire up its Wikipedia entry, you’ll find it described as “a picture (usually a photograph) that is perceived as mysterious or disturbing due to its content, poor quality, or a combination of the two” and and as something meant to make you wonder why the image even exists in the first place.

I don't think there is any issue with companies and restaurants switching out gluten when they can. I might not want your gluten free bread, but using a thickener that doesn't have gluten or something small that makes a dish gluten free is just a nice thing to do.

A personal favorite, however, might be the Urban Dictionary’s definition. In a 2017 post, someone referred to a cursed image as “any image that can incite the 5 W’s in a person—these 5 W’s being who, what, when, where, and why.” According to the entry, it’s the lack of answers to these questions that makes a cursed image truly cursed.

In a 2019 interview with Paper, the blog’s creator reflected on this image, saying, “It’s the perfect cursed image to me because there’s nothing inherently unsettling about any part of it. It’s a totally mundane moment transformed into something else by the camera and the new context I've given it.”

But the term really started gaining popularity later in 2016, thanks to the X account (formerly known as Twitter) @cursedimages. In a 2016 interview with Gizmodo, writer Hudson Hongo spoke with the account’s owner, who explained that they had come across “one or two” Tumblr posts featuring “unexplainable and odd” pictures simply captioned as “cursed image.” Fascinated by these photos, the owner began seeking out similar images and, after collecting a number of them, decided to share them all in one place.

The ones who don't need to cut it out for health reasons but brag, obnoxious. Nobody cares. Unless you put it in bumper stickers all over your car, then it's hilarious
That same year, Brian Feldman interviewed Doug Battenhausen, the creator of the Tumblr blog internethistory, for New York Magazine. When Feldman asked him what the appeal of cursed images was, Battenhausen explained: “It’s a lot of things. It’s the mystery of the photo, it’s the strange aesthetics of them, it’s seeing a place that you’ve never seen before, or an intimate glimpse into somebody’s life.”

Well, a few weeks ago I would have said that they can't be THAT bad, someone must have tried them before production began, right? Here in Austria we had a major election this year, and a butcher decided to make sausages with ingredients that have the same color as the different parties. Red was ok (tomatoes and red bellpepper), but the other ones were inedible. Black contained eggplant and cola, blue (plum and acai), green (kale and cucumber), pink (strawberry yoghurt) and beer for the beer party (yes, we have a beer party, no, the sausages were not good, think warm, stale beer). They were so disgusting we had to throw them away.

Please, for the love of all that's holy, tell me this is fake!
Whatever cursed images may be, they’ve rightfully established themselves as a cornerstone of what makes the internet what it is. But if looking at and discussing them has worn you out, you might be curious to know there’s actually the opposite—blessed images.
And of course, because that wasn’t enough, the internet also created the term blursed, a combination of both, and as you’d expect, it’s exactly what the name suggests. The web truly is a wild place.

When I was a kid, a girl got kidnapped and her captor dumped her in a latrine at a campground. She was down inside it and they were getting ready to flush it out when they heard a whimper. I have never forgotten that.

I guess it's just easier to spot them in the fog. I mean, why do you think stop lights, stop signs, tail lights, etc etc are red? The red light travels further than let's say green lights or blue lights when visibility is low. It has a lot to do with wave lengths and what not. It's for yours and their safety!

If I had a nickel for every tartare in this list, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

I'm not sure that's steak tartare. Steak tartare is chopped, not ground AFAIK. Both pix just look like ground meat straight from the butcher's counter.

Forrest Hobbs 1 year ago
AI pics can be diverting. As for dark mode - well, I remember the old days when all computer displays were basically "dark mode" and they gave me a "fried eyeballs" feeling after an hour or so. "Light mode" became the dominant thing because it's easier on the eyes and easier to read, on average for most people.

It's possible that this is a real photo. Getting the skin looking like it really has been stretched and folded to that extent isn't an easy thing with picture editing.
