The internet might be full of cat pics, dad jokes, and witty memes, but it’s more than that. Far more, in fact. When you surf farther and dive deeper, you start coming across content that defies explanation. It often lacks context and raises more questions than it answers. But that’s part of the fun!

That’s where the popular ‘Outré Bizarre’ Facebook page comes in. The social media project does exactly what it says on the tin: it shares peculiar, odd, and meme-worthy pics that are as confusing as they are amusing. We’ve collected some of their best ones to share with you, so scroll down to check them out.

This is Max Fosh at a charity soccer game. There was a lot of messing around, and this was not the most abnormal thing that happened. I reccomend checking it out.

The ‘Outré Bizarre’ project has seen massive success over the years. It has a considerable presence on all the major social media networks, and it’s very likely that you’ve seen some of the memes shared by the curators in your feed.

On Facebook alone, nearly 890k internet users follow the ‘Outré Bizarre’ page.

Meanwhile, the project also has 53.4k loyal fans on Instagram, as well as 17.8k followers on X (formerly Twitter). And speaking of Twitter, the ‘Outré Bizarre’ account has been on the platform all the way since March 2013.

However, at the time of writing, it seems like the project is focusing on posting weird photos mainly on Facebook and Instagram.

The project’s name, ‘Outré Bizarre,’ clearly had a lot of thought put into it. The word ‘outré’ means that something is very strange, unusual, shocking, or—as the Britannica Dictionary notes—_bizarre_. So, funnily enough, ‘Outré Bizarre’ essentially means ‘Bizarre Bizarre.’ And that’s exactly the kind of content that the project posts.

Bizarre internet pics can be quite a double-edged sword. On the one hand, weird stuff draws people in because they’re curious about the world.

So when they see something unusual or unexplained, they can’t help but stop scrolling and try to figure out exactly what it is that they’re seeing. And let’s not forget that many of us enjoy sending weird memes to our besties, helping memes go even more viral.

It's a viral video mocking ufologist/scammer Jaime Maussan ad the Mexican government after the ridiculous claims of having found two "alien" corpses on Sep. 13. The cake was made by UK based baker/tattoo artist Ben Cullen on Sep. 15. The joke cites the game show "Is it cake" that became notorious after being published on Netflix last year.

On the other hand, extremely weird content isn’t up everyone’s alley. People find different things funny, so weird pics won’t cater to everyone’s sense of humor. You’ll always have people who enjoy dad jokes and bland boomer memes more than bizarre post-ironic humor. And that’s perfectly fine.

You cannot expect everyone to be a fan of the memes you share, so it’s best not to worry about that and instead focus on the followers that you do have.

Wow. Everyone in this photo looks next level uncomfortable. I can imagine that Colonel Spliz went home and said,'Ya know, I really feel like I got though to them today'

Still, other internet users recognize that the vagueness of the images provides the opportunity for everyone to come up with their own theories about what’s happening in the frame. So, in a way, these pics are a reflection of who we are as individuals because we interpret them through our own unique perspectives. 

Aside from curiosity, there’s another reason why people enjoy weird content that borders on the gross. According to Alexander J. Skolnick, Ph.D., an assistant psychology professor at Saint Joseph's University, disgust has a very useful evolutionary function. “It keeps us safe. Rotten food has a sour, bitter flavor, and that's a cue to us. We spit it out,” Skolnick told ‘Shape’ that this extends to weird photos or videos.

You can't assume this picture is from the United States. It could be from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore or any other place in Oceana where English is a common language.

The problem with this picture is not the distance traveled, but that it only shows one line. The fruit does go to Thailand to get processed, but then it get sent ALL OVER THE WORLD, not just the US. They also process more than just pears. It's more cost effective to process in one location than multiple.

It's simple. Someone from Thailand moves to Argentina. Deadbeat brother back home needs a job. So they give him a job, and make him handle the shipping to the US. Efficiency be damned -they don't have to listen to their parents complaining anymore. Works out for everyone.

I live in Italy, Sicily in particular, that grows some of the most renowned citrus fruits in the world. One of my neighborhood supermarkets sells oranges from South Africa...

This is why you need to check labels, reduce the food miles! Choose home grown wherever possible.

Business finance has never made sense to me. Years ago I had a job in an auto parts factory. We used metal casing that were made in Korea. The factory I worked at was about a mile away from a foundry you could see it from the building. Yet somehow it was cheaper to to have the product made & literally have it shipped across the world.

This is now being used in a meme so people can blame corporations for climate change rather than change their own behavior.

This does not surprise me at all. Not sure how true, but once had a grocer tell me about some tomatoes and other fruits and veggies. He said while we grow some stuff in the US, we sell them to Mexico or wherever, then buy them back. Another reason they cost more than they should. (Just because we buy them from someone else, doesn't always means they travel there though.) Who knows.

Meanwhile, Clark McCauley, Ph.D., a psychology professor at Bryn Mawr College, believes that looking at gross, scary, or bizarre content is similar to going on a rollercoaster. “You feel fear, even though you know you're safe,” he explains that these things get your heart racing.

If it doesn't move and it should, WD40. If it does and shouldn't, duct tape.

Very photoshopped, and I'm nothing special at seeing modified pics. But the marker is way too blunt for those fine lines, not to mention the change in pixelation on zoom.

He doesn't look as happy as she does. To be fair, I wouldn't love getting life changing news through the medium of a pee soaked lollipop.
