The universe is full of stuff. And some stuff is certainly more useful and more necessary than others. There are things that we need and have, then there’s stuff that we know we need, but don’t have, and then there’s stuff we know we don’t need.

But wait, there’s more. There’s also a fourth category—the stuff we are certain nobody on this planet really needs but for some reason exists. This is what Twitter has been discussing in a recent viral trend under the hashtag #StuffThatShouldNotExist.

Recently people started naming things that should not exist, but for some unknown reason are a thing. Besides all those taking a jab at Twitter’s image centering AI and everything that is wrong with the world, they have also shared pictures of things like carpets in bathrooms, Nicholas cage sequin pillows, and everything else that is either creepy, ugly or just plain useless.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the best entries in this new challenge, which you can peruse below. And while you’re doing that, why not also leave an upvote and comment under the ones you enjoyed the most!

    These are illegal in Korea. (Still many people use them, but they're urged to replace them)

    I think these are cool. Creepy toys aren't a bad thing, people. They aren't meant for little kids who'd be scared by them. Also, way less scary than some dolls...Like the clown from Poltergeist, lol.

    LOL 1950s food is, no pun intended, bananas. Go look at the 1950s and 1960s Jello cookbooks.

    The 1950's in the United States. I believe all those women who worked during the war and were summarily dismissed were pissed off and started making these abominations as punishment for be shoved unceremoniously back into the dark ages after years of fully realized independence. This is the way...

    I actually eat something similar in Cuba as I was curious. The bananas are not the sweet variety, but taste like potato. Then this all makes much more sense ;)

    This is clearly one of those old recipes from the 60s or 70s when people apparently forgot how food works.

    Banana and bacon actually got really well together, not sure about the sauce though!

    Skip the hollandaise and add chopped pineapple and gruyere cheese...it's actually pretty good even if it is weird.

    Reminiscent of "Flying Jacob," a Swedish casserole I tried once. Chicken thighs with (sliced) bananas and hot pickled peppers, baked together in a spicy cream sauce, and crushed peanuts on top. Sounds weird, but quite good. The Swede who made it for me said it was due to some South Asian influences (from colonial days, maybe? Maybe Malaysia? I dunno, this was 30 years ago :) ) Not at all what is pictured above though.

    Maybe good. Eat immediately, banana ends already turning brown.

    I bought my dad a pen holder many moons ago which was a man bent over with his pants down. You put the pen in its butt and the man lifts his head and moans in many different ways.
