We rely on our sight more than on any other sense to help us interpret the world around us. So when we spot something peculiar, we can get very disturbed very fast. But what's life without any peculiarity, confusion, and a dash of uneasiness?
There's a wicked Instagram account called 'Cursed Images' that aims to test our limits. It shares random pictures, provides no context, and leaves us puzzled just because.

Why, you might ask, do you need to see a black cat in a room filled with mushrooms? Or a cursed image of a kid scared of an Obama mask? But why, I counter your question, do we go on roller coaster rides? There's a thrill in not knowing what awaits you. So continue scrolling and brace for the unexpected.

Cursed Images—Where Do They Come From and Why Do We Like Them?

Like the funny cursed images themselves, their tale of origin is a bit nebulous. Of course, if we were to talk about the term, it’s been pinned by the users of image-sharing platforms on the Internet; no surprise there. But as to where the cursed meme images themselves come from, we can only answer this—from the deepest, darkest corners of the Internet where the sun never shines. Or your old family photo album

And why do we like these cursed funny images? It’s not very simple to explain, but each of us has a certain degree of fascination, amusement, and morbid curiosity in us, and all these bizarre pics work very nicely to satisfy the need. In short, these cursed images are incredible in evoking strong emotions in anyone who dares look at them! And who doesn’t like a bit of confusion and bewilderment in their day, right?

On that note, we invite you to keep on scrolling through this latest selection of funny cursed images. But remember that we won’t be responsible for the nightmares they might induce!

I love how annoyed she looks, like she’s been dealing with his fire head shenanigans for far too long.

It's normal mayo with food dye and it costs at least 10% more than the usual non-pride month one when corporations go back to not pretending to care about us!

Okay, so I know this is a joke, but, does anyone remember the horrible ketchup that was purple? And I think there was a green one too? It was out in the 90s I think and even my brothers and I wouldn't touch that stuff, and we put ketchup on EVERYTHING.

It's funny how this image has been shopped differently. See the pic I attached that shows no gayo on the actual shelf like it does in the above pic. Also, in case you were wondering if this was an actual product to promote pride, it wasn't. It's always been photoshopped. gayo-647cf...c02466.jpg gayo-647cfa5c02466.jpg

If this were a real product, why are they asking "what the hell is this?" - it says "mayonnaise" very clearly on the bottle

It's actually on the store shelf? I've never seen this so going to assume just a photo of or CGI. Interesting though. I'd buy it.

Unfortunately, you'll have to make your own or just enjoy the image. The image was created by an Instagram user called Doctor Photograph who creates “doctored images, fake cover art & bootleg toys”. His original post of the image included the hashtag “#photoshopped”.

This is why people get irritated by LGBTQ stuff... Even mayo isn't spared 😭. It's unhealthy as it is, with food colouring added who knows how bad it is for us now.

The more you look at it the worse it gets. Why is Santa in the window? Why is the Christmas tree on a broom? Why are only 3 of them wearing shoes? Why is the room almost completely empty?

If this is real, it's very sad. That is a ton of medical issues, including fluid on the brain. Not funny at all.

one time in my sophomore year, my teacher mr. ritchmann "froze" the projector screen so we could see the assignment guidelines while he did something else. Our entire class got to watch him scroll through about 50 or so foot-related livestreas on onlyfans.

This is a mud pit on top of an active volcano in Colombia outside of Cartagena. It’s high in salt so you float and it has no bottom you can reach. These dudes hang out in the mud for tourists and rub you with mud pretending to help them ask for money.
