8 Unsettling Pics That Might Immediately Get A “Thanks, I Hate It” Response From You

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 several 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.

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.
