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.

Where, I would love to see that! Her family seems so sweet, not acting like her style is any issue, since it shouldn't be. I hope she grew up exactly how she wanted to!

U don't know her personality just 'cuz she's wearing a costume & heavy makeup for a 15yo at home...they don't allow this pretend cosplay at school [or school events, e.g., sports events, band, plays, &c].

1971 and before a family reunion I overheard my dad telling mom that if his family couldn't take my long hair, too bad. We were from San Francisco and his family were from eastern Washington. My hair was to the middle of my back. My aunt said as we walked up, Ted, I didn't realize you had two daughters...

15 candles, sophomore in high school & still not even close to becoming mature. Doesn't even have a summer job where she talks to adults other than her parents who apparently approve of her eyesight evolving into cecity w/hair shrouding both eyes?

I was a goth kid in my teens, and I loved having birthday parties with my family. Now I'm a goth woman in my thirties, and I want a neon rainbow clown cake for my birthday next month.

Hope you're happy/feel respected [as an adult goth] being a daycare [Do you take care of "days"? Or kids or elders? Childcare/eldercare?] attendant in your 30s & not a Silicon Valley/Alley creator? Or author of your memoirs [which you could do simultaneously]?

I kinda like it. His or her top seems a tad low for that age but they’re also just a child so it’s fine. It’s colorful.

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?

Truck full of hagfish got into an accident and spilled the fish everywhere. They make a thick slimy coat of mucus when they're agitated, hence this scene out of a bad p*rn* lol

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.

I once had a dream of ice cream served in a skull. It was crab-apple ice cream. Not crabapple, crab and apple. Kinda curious.

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.
