For that special occasion
Things That Are Not Aesthetic has amassed more than 3.4M followers who seem to enjoy the stranger than strange pictures they post daily. From silly clocks and bizarre billboards to furry skeletons, the creators continue to puzzle their fans with the most ridiculous images found online.
This Facebook page is a part of the Dank Channel project, which was started by Levi Cameron Grenko in 2013. He is a social media manager who "grew to love the internet culture of memes" ever since he made his first meme page. With this project, he strives to "make a difference on the world as a whole". By sharing funny pictures and jokes, the accounts he created allow people to let out a few laughs and share their opinions with others.

While we may feel uncomfortable looking at terrible objects or unaesthetic design, it's intriguing how we also find them weirdly attractive. Funny and perplexing pictures are the perfect attention trap—once your eyes land on them, it’s hard to look away.
An influencer marketing agency Mediakix explained that in the past couple of years, meme accounts that appeal to audiences of all types seem to be on the rise. One reason for their popularity is simply their format. Funny pictures are easy "bites" of content that can be consumed in mere seconds and always feel fresh for the audiences.
"Compared to more traditional forms of media like news articles or YouTube videos, memes require little time and effort to consume and understand," they explained. They’re designed for our fast-paced lives and can give us temporary shelter from the troubles we may have in our lives.
Another important factor is their content. The majority of such accounts target Millennial audiences and, according to Statista, they were the largest generation group in the U.S. in 2019, adding up to 72.1M people. "Unlike other social media influencers that create content around specific niches like beauty, family, or sports," meme accounts also tend to function on a broader scale. That’s why they appeal to many different users instead of just targeting one kind of Millennial.
However, there also seems to be a growth of category-specific pages. "Themed meme accounts toe that fine line between being particularly relatable to a specific group of people, but universal enough to attract a large following," Mediakix wrote.

When you and down the hall guy smoke.
So when you take a look at pages and accounts like the one we feature in this list, you can’t help but think that the younger generations have a seriously weird sense of humor. Turns out, Millennials and Gen-Z were brought into a world where to live an easy life and find a well-paying job is harder than it was for their parents or grandparents. Well, if you’re drowning in student debt and have to give up on the idea of buying a house one day, the world can start to seem like a pretty dark place.
According to Elizabeth Bruenig, one reason why Millennials' sense of humor is so dark and surreal could be that the world has stopped making sense to them. "Long-lasting careers seem out of reach; millennials are told to go to college so they can make money, but mostly they just amass debt and then job-hop in hopes of paying it off. In the meantime, they put off getting married, having kids, buying houses and so on. And waiting feels like — well, waiting," she explained.
I refuse to believe this is real.
It looks like 24*24 unit arrangement of dock block full floaters. That arrangement can Theoretically (please note) hold up a total weight of over 60 tons. The average scissor lift weighs about 2 tons. This is a small scissor lift so it weighs less. On that 24x24 unit arrangement, with the weight centered, including raised center of gravity because of the elevated platform, the base is strapped to the corners of the block platform, and is on a flat pool. There would need to be a large wave (more that 1 meter) to tip that whole thing over. The people working using it are probably not very prone to seasickness, and they're quite safe.
Thank you for that explanation. I figured it was probably designed for something like that instead of having to drain the whole pool.

I feel so redundant saying this, they have towels laying down and the straps. so I feel like some planning and smart thinking was involved.

You need the OSHA for Nautical Issues Compliance. OSHANIC.
Load More Replies...And I don't know why, but I feel like it's going to work. I have no experience to go on, just a feeling.
Load More Replies...It's because of these crazy male tendencies we have a show like Jackass. The sooner they take themselves out the gene pool - ah, who cares.
I cannot decide if that is sheer stupidity, or insane calculation and bravery... :)
It makes sense to me that if one of them is an engineer, they'd be able to figure out a way for this to work safely.
I bet someone is playing the "Pirates of the Caribbean" from a phone. Or at least someone should!
Definitely not OSHA compliant. Would they stand to be electrocuted if it dips too low?
I'm not sure, but it's probably gas powered not electric. It would be like a car running into a lake. At least you wouldn't be trapped in it!

You put the cherry picker on that floatable platform when the swimming pool is empty, then fill up the pool to get to your desired height.
At that rate, you might as well just extend the lift from the bottom of the pool.

Just think of the tension as they drove the lift onto the floats and the collective exhale when it worked!
I refuse to believe this was necessary. How deep is the pool? 8 feet? That looks like it could extend 8 more feet, no? And what are the doing to the beam that they couldn't approach from the sides?
When you’re bored at your fam holidays and start getting creative.
It really shouldn’t surprise us that the increasing complexity of our lives impacts how we see the things around us. The meaning itself might start to slip away, and that’s why Millennials often find themselves immersed in a peculiar and chaotic form of comedy.
"Rather than trying to restore meaning and sense where they’ve gone missing, the style aims to play with the moods and emotions of an illegible world," Bruenig continued. "In a way, it’s a digital update to the surreal and absurd genres of art and literature that characterized the tumultuous early 20th century."
These signs came from VictoryStore.com in case anyone was wondering. They have cool signs for any occasion, I have a few sets myself (birthday & grad themes).
However, even if we’re attracted to unaesthetic things because we want to laugh at our way of living, it doesn’t mean that we can't see the joy in them. As they say, taste is subjective, and while some people could be appalled by what they see shared on this Facebook page, others can find it even inspiring. After all, there’s some amount of beauty in any imperfection, only if you’re willing to see it.

Someone doesn't understand what aesthetics means. Many are very humorous, not unattractive and tasteless. Only a very few have anything to do with aesthetics, ie beauty and harmony. Hillary Clinton and Pete Davidson are warm and charming. A trucker watching a projected movie is creative. Thanks for a fun, if mis-titled thread.
To be fair, anyone who expects the title to be spot on probably hasn't been watching bored Panda very long. But definitely fun!
