    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?"

    I live in Oceanside CA and have had no less than 6 pairs of my sandals stolen at the beach. This is legit.

    Then there are the inexplicably bizarre moments featuring people. Whether it’s someone dressed in a full costume, behaving in a way that defies explanation, or just doing something so random that it feels like performance art, these images evoke a mix of confusion and hilarity.

    So, this is apparently in Wisconsin. Also there are a surprisingly large number of Beloits in the US.

    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.

    But it’s not all gross or creepy. Some cursed images are just plain bizarre, like a dog wearing sunglasses while riding a unicycle or a car covered entirely in grass. These moments are so absurd that they loop right back around to being funny. They’re the internet equivalent of a double-take.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    What makes these cursed images so captivating is their ability to tap into a part of our brains that loves chaos. It’s the same reason we slow down to gawk at a bizarre roadside attraction or laugh nervously at a surreal piece of modern art. They’re unsettling, sure, but also endlessly fascinating.

    There’s also something oddly comforting about cursed content. It reminds us that no matter how weird we think our own lives are, there’s someone out there who thought a see-through toilet was a brilliant idea—or someone who decided their dinner table needed a centerpiece of taxidermied squirrels.

    Instagram accounts like ‘Cursed Images 2009’ thrive on curating these strange, borderline nightmarish gems. Scrolling through these posts is like stepping into an alternate reality where nothing quite makes sense, but everything feels weirdly familiar. It’s equal parts entertaining and unsettling, and you can’t help but keep looking.

    That's an art installation by the artist Doris Salcedo for the Istanbul Bienalle. She's a Columbian artist who's work reflects South America's history of war, dictators and thousands of people who have disappeared without a trace. There's 1500 empty chairs in there.

    So the next time you’re scrolling through the internet and stumble upon a cursed image, take a moment to appreciate its chaotic charm. Sure, it might leave you scratching your head or feeling a bit uneasy, but that’s part of the fun.

    After all, where else but the internet can you find a mix of the absurd, the creepy, and the downright hilarious all in one place?

    I think that's the same guy who was dubbed as the TV Man that i saw in a YouTube video one time, he dropped off old TVs at peoples' porches but some would just throw them away.

    I wouldn't be able to watch this episode in public. Watched it with a group of friends and it got all of us in a super weird state trying to process what happened
