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.

    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.

    Almost every artist who uses dry media likes these. Saying they shouldn't exist is like saying white paint shouldn't exist, FFS.

    These are great, especially drawing on dark coloured paper and it also helps with shading and drawing lines on dark fabric for cutting etc.

    This depends on the paper...white is most useful with black paper.

    What else should not exist?? People calling things useless just because they don´t know the use of it.

    Back in the day, us old women used to use a white pencil under our fingernails to make them look clean and counteract any yellow.

    what if you want to color on colored paper? what if you want to draw a cloud or a marshmallow or a snowman? these are useful, because things are white, colored paper exists, and white deserves to be included with all of the other colors in the box.

    These actually have a purpose, but if you want to draw with them on white paper, well, the problem is not the white colored pencil.
