One category of cursed content that always leaves an impression is poorly thought-out design choices. Imagine walking into a bathroom where the toilet is perched precariously on a tiny platform or surrounded by completely transparent walls.
These images make you laugh at the sheer absurdity while also questioning the sanity of whoever designed them. It’s not just about bad design; it’s the feeling of wondering, "Who thought this was a good idea, and why?"

Sometimes, the weirdness comes from the most unexpected pairings. A perfectly normal setting might be disrupted by an object that feels wildly out of place, like a bathtub in a forest or a chandelier made out of spoons.
These photos create a surreal atmosphere that leaves you scratching your head, but they also make you appreciate the creativity—or chaos—behind them.

Fish science. This fish is a flowerhorn, a frankenfish that was created for the pet trade. They require large tanks & don't generally like tank mates. They are a-holes & delicate at the same time which would lend to quick deaths in the wild. Thats not to say they aren't good as pets.

This is an old "Simplex" military clock. It moves far slower than your typical clock, taking an hour to go between each number. These were common on military bases when they were converting over from 12 hour, to 24 hour time. Specifically, it was for the Army, who converted over in the 40's. The navy had already been using it since the 20's. This clock would typically be found at training bases where recruits were coming in, and needed to learn the new system.
