“Thanks, I Hate It”: 50 Pics That May Ruin Your Whole Day (New Pics)
Interview With ExpertJust when you think you've seen it all, you come across a photo of someone "storing" jellybeans in a popped blister on the sole of their foot. Using the skin pouch as a sweets pocket. Yes, really. You can't make that ish up. People will never cease to amaze. It's one (very gross) thing to do that in the first place. But we have to wonder, what would possess anyone to take a photo of it, and then share it online for all the world to see?
It's just one of many photos featured on the subreddit "Thanks, I Hate It". The page has more than 1.7 million members and is all the proof we need that people can be more than a little weird. The online community shares pics of the things nobody really wants or likes to see. Yet they take a good look anyway. Some images may make your skin crawl, others could cause a gag reflex, there are those that induce panic, and a few you can't quite put your finger on but you just know you hate them.
Bored Panda has put together a potluck of purely unsettling photos from the page. Be warned, you might not want to scroll through them during breakfast. We also had a really interesting chat with Joshua Ackerman, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan. He explained why humans feel disgust and why that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Alright but can we have it back now ? Feels like Miss Liberty doesn't quite belong in the US anymore...
She's shaking her head just like the half of us that aren't Maga's.

Load More Replies...I like my ghosts, owls, and bats. They keep me company those nights I can't sleep so go for a walk across the fields at 3am in the pitch dark. A big crowd of people in broad daylight? That freaks me out more than whatever in the dark.
Alone or not, I can't bloody see what's in front of me. You can only stub your toes so many times before darkness becomes a terrifying.
Have you ever seen something so gross that it makes your stomach churn, and you have to stop yourself from throwing up? Well, apparently that’s your body’s way of protecting you. Scientists say disgust is a survival instinct.
Disgust, wrote Charles Darwin in the 1860s, is inborn and involuntary, and it evolved to prevent our ancestors from eating spoiled food that might k**l them.
Joshua Ackerman is not one to shy away from disgusting things. In fact, he's an expert when it comes to disgust, having researched the emotion extensively. When we reached out to Ackerman, the professor of psychology from the University of Michigan was more than happy to answer some questions for us.
"Disgust is an emotion that evolved to help us manage the threat of harm from infection and toxic substances," Ackerman told Bored Panda. "We often feel disgust in response to threat cues like bodily fluids, symptoms of illness like coughs and pus, rotting foods, and waste products. Disgust creates a strong aversion to cues and drives us to avoid interacting with them in ways that might spread germs or otherwise lead us to get sick. In strong cases, it can help us expel substances we've ingested, for example through vomiting."
Thanks I Hate This Bulls**t Language
It is a combination of pidgins of different languages that got together and decided they were a single language especially when Norman/French soldiers started talking to Anglo/German barmaids.
Working in London, my coworkers took great delight in informing me that THEY spoke English, while I spoke American. 😆 They weren't wrong! Being a bit of word & grammar n**i, I loved discovering words with one meaning in England and something totally different in America. F*g = cigarette. Rubber = eraser. But my all time favorite phrase was one of them saying (as dinner plans were made) "I'll come round and knock you up tomorrow." I nearly peed myself!
Hey, relates to the last panda post I read with historical photos, showing a very old pic of a knocker-up, someone who uses a long pole to knock on your upper windows to wake you up for work (pre-alarm clock tines). So he'd "knock you up" or for us Americans, he'd wake you up by knocking on your bedroom window. Not creepy at all.
Load More Replies...No, they don't. But as a proud Brit (we invented the English language,) I will never allow my English to be called sh*t. It's American English that is utter sh*t.
Worth posting a second time :-) Quotes tagged as "misattributed-terry-pratchett" Showing 1-1 of 1 “The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse w***e. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.” ― James D. Nicoll
Load More Replies...Thanks I Hate Spider Earrings
Cool idea but if I saw someone wearing that I would probably smack them in the head trying to get it off of them haha
They would probably cause quite a commotion if given as a gift. Imagine opening THAT box...
Reminds me of the time when, for Christmas, my aunt gave me a lollipop (yay) with a maggot-like larvae in (big nay!). I was about 8yo at the time but I recall the feeling of all blood disappearing from my head in a split-second. It was AWFUL! Especially because my family just thought it was a fun gift.
Load More Replies...If I could even stand to put them on *shudder* I'd be smacking myself upside the head every time I felt the legs on my skin or caught a glimpse of them in a mirror. I'll just be noping right along from these.
Go into a store with that on and cause disruption. I imagine someone having a heart attack and dying. Would you be charged criminally? How about being sued by the family? I wouldn't attempt it. Giving CPR to a stranger alone, they can sue you after even if you saved their life. That's how people are. Some will use whatever they can against you. Can't say it isn't tempting though.. the prank. Definitely not worth the outcome.
I had 2 pairs of spider earrings and loved them both. They weren't like this though!
Thanks I Hate Your Tattoo
looks like they are giving him a goose bumps - I actually like this tattoo
While some of us prefer to steer clear of anything that might gross us out, others get a kick out of watching disturbing videos or looking at disgusting photos like the ones in this compilation. Ackerman tells Bored Panda there's a name for this...
"The concept of 'benign masochism' refers to situations where people prefer typically negative experiences," he says. "For people like this, they don't tend to like the full experience of disgust. Instead, they get enjoyment from the physiological reactions created in the body and mind when they feel 'just enough disgust,' which is more likely to happen when looking at pictures or watching videos than when actually touching or eating gross things."
Thanks, I Hate Mr. Bean Inserted Into Classic Painting
Wouldn't that be great to put up on your wall just before a big family get-together?
This is the kind of art that should be in medical waiting rooms. Those hotel-quality landscapes are too tacky to be relaxing, but this is so disturbing, you'll look forward to escaping inside the exam room.
I have a different one of this series with mr bean framed in my bathroom 😁
Hahaha!! This is from an old Photoshop contest on a site called Worth1000. I miss being on there!

Thanks I Hate Tattoos With "Shaking" Effects
Assuming this is genuine. The skill level required to do it, way out of the park.
We asked Ackerman if it's possible for someone to train themselves to be less disgusted. He explained that disgust reactions are acquired, or learned. Through a learning process, you can train down these responses, he says.
"Whether this is a good activity or not depends on your goal. If you work in a field where you regularly encounter disgust cues (such as sanitation or a hospital), feeling lower levels of disgust can be helpful for getting your job done," said the expert.
"In many cases, people also will naturally become desensitized over time in such situations, even if they aren't intentionally trying to feel less disgust. However, if you train yourself to feel less disgust in a wide variety of situations, this can be counterproductive. Disgust works to help people avoid disease-causing germs and toxins. Feeling less disgust can potentially lead people to stop avoiding these dangers and thus to get sick more often."

Load More Replies...That is oddly fascinating. I think my mind is going to spend some time trying to see if there's a pattern.
When researchers looked into the link between disgust and COVID, they found that those more prone to feelings of disgust fared better during the pandemic. Ackerman explains that this is because disgust is effective at lessening the probability of illness.
"If people experience disgust to true signs of danger, like someone sick with a contagious illness such as COVID, this can motivate those people to avoid social interactions and other encounters likely to spread germs," he explained.
"Compared to many respiratory diseases, COVID is a little tricky though, as many strains were often accompanied by asymptomatic spread and symptoms less likely to create disgust in others (e.g., fever, feeling terrible). Without cues that elicit disgust, people don't have the same emotional trigger that helps them avoid contagion."
Thanks I Hate Cats With Pancakes
That looks like Kaonashi sitting on the train next to Chihiro in Spirited Away.
I hope kitty at least got to eat some of the pancake afterwards! XD
Load More Replies...... Is it just me, or are those eyes just *WRONG*, in color and in the shape of the pupils?
When cats are focused on something, or are angry/frustrated/etc., their pupils enlarge. When the pupils get big enough, they stop looking like "normal" slitted cat pupils and start to look more rounded (like human pupils.) I think that's what's happening here - kitty is NOT pleased to have something stuck to their face and their pupils have gotten dilated as a result, which causes the kitty's eyes to look rather un-cat-like :)

Is it just me or does that kid's head looks like it's been badly photoshopped?
I think it has been, also. Like they took the left side, duplicated it, and put it on the right.
Load More Replies...I think perhaps only parents think their little burping bundle of pee, poop, and puke is "cute". That particular baby...looks possessed. The rest of us will pick either a cat or a dog as to their proclivities. Koala? Not panda? Dear oh dear.
I can't help but think what these children will face when they're in their teens or young adults after having their lives displayed on social media. What really riles me is the depth of parental ignorance. They are literally putting their child's life in danger, feeding information to strangers all over the world. Pedophiles, traffickers, kidnappers,... Getting someone's IP address is fairly easy, and once you have that, it's not hard to trace location and identity information.
Researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine compiled a rather wild survey that I, for one, am happy I didn't take part in. They came up with 75 potentially disgusting scenarios and then asked more than 2,500 people to rate their level of disgust for each one.
Not that you asked, but some of the gross examples include finding a chicken fetus when cracking open an egg, learning that a friend tried to have sex with a piece of fruit, hearing about someone eating rabbits and birds that had been left for dead on the road, looking at genital sores, seeing people eat raw fish heads on TV, and finding out a neighbor likes to poop in his backyard.

I'm fairly sure (not 100%, but mostly) that nail clippers can't break teeth. Then again, I broke them on: a plastic light pull (I was an idiot kid, can't remember why I was operating the light with my teeth), a pizza crust (it was wobbly anyway, just ended up getting extracted early), and an unpopped popcorn kernel (adult tooth this time), so...maybe I'm wrong. But I can't begin to imagine the sheer pain it would cause. And the bleeding.
Load More Replies...WHY in the hell would you do that??? Years ago I was having tooth pain, went to the dentist, he did X-rays and couldn't tell which tooth it was. He sent me to an oral surgeon who could only tell by putting tiny ice chips on the molars until I jumped when he hit the spot. I told him he was an evil genius and ended up with a root canal after antibiotics a couple of weeks later.
Your dentist is an idiot. Why on earth didn't he do that? I know that my dentist does.

What is going on with people decorating with books? Literacy rates are declining each year, so is this what we do with books now instead of reading them?
The study found that most of the things humans find disgusting fall into six categories. Each one is related to how likely they are to possibly transmit disease.
According to a press release, "Of all the scenarios presented, infected wounds producing pus were rated as the most disgusting. The violation of hygiene norms—such as having bad body odour, was also found to be particularly disgusting."
The survey results also showed that there were differences in how men and women reacted to each of the disgusting scenarios. Women rated each and every category more disgusting than men. "This is consistent with the fact that men are known to indulge in riskier behaviour than women, on average," reads the press release, adding that the categories women found most disgusting were risky sexual behavior and animals carrying diseases.

This is a satire page on Facebook. It's actually pretty hilarious. Definitely worth a read.
"Although we knew the emotion of disgust was good for us, here we've been able to build on that, showing that disgust is structured, recognising and responding to infection threats to protect us," said lead researcher Professor Val Curtis.
Co-author of the paper Micheal de Barra said the results show that people have an intuitive sense of what to avoid in their environment. "Our long coevolution with disease has 'wired in' this intuitive sense of what can cause infection," explained de Barra.

A lot of people don’t eat the crust. So it’s not so bad how they eat this pizza, it’s the reassembling that’s odd.
I often save them, crisp them in the air fryer the next day, and eat them with Dips. Saves wasting them. My own only, obviously!
Load More Replies...Personally, I like pizza crust - if it has a good texture and a good flavor. But Alas, we have a 159 lb. Anatolian Shepherd, and pizza crust is his *favorite* food. So our pizza often ends up like this, tho' we don't put the crusts back into a circle. We put them into our Good Boi.
