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)

That's why you gotta leave the lid loose...but also you have to remember to hold it properly because the lid is loose. Yes...I have done this too many times.

It's a display cake container. Bakeries (especially the ones in grocery stores) use them so that the entirety of the cake will be visible to shoppers. 2150584-60...917439.jpg 2150584-6066899917439.jpg

Most grocery stores and Costco (like Tesco) use these or something similar to place cakes, pies, and pastries to keep them super fresh. They do work, but are a danger to open up because the plastic is sharp as a knife if it tears. I reuse them over and over.

This is the single use plastic argument all over again - there are biodegradable, or edible replacement "plastics" that will certainly serve the required purpose for the required duration without exacerbating the plastic problem we currently have. Now that we know better, the change should happen swiftly - what's the hold up?

Using kitchen shears cut the bottom until just into the "plate " part. Not stealthy but close to sneaky

Not just the noise, but hell to open. You pop one, go to the second, third notch, and the first one locks again -- infuriating!

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.

In many cultures people eat insects, and they're a great, healthy source of protein. Idk why so many people are against them
