We see warning signs every day, and some hazards become more "everyday" than others. These spooky signs go above and beyond when addressing strange, overly specific, or even vague danger. Spooky signs say a lot with their creepiness.

Those poor trains. As it turns out, the world of Thomas the Tank Engine was much darker than it might've appeared at surface level. Yes, we're talking a dark dystopian zombie train apocalypse kind of setting. Poor Smudger legit got turned into a generator after refusing to show off. If that isn't some kind of twisted way to scare kids into following the rules for fear of grave punishments, I don't know what it is. Whole lot of yikes, indeed.
Many Tumblr users fancy themselves as canon detectives, looking way too far into classic cartoons for hidden meaning. Here's a time they recreated this trivial Scooby Doo inconsistency. Officially, Lyman was a character in the Garfield universe who was deemed unnecessary, but that hasn't stopped the official Garfield universe from suggesting a darker reality.
Leave it to Tumblr to let one image of fun pizza inspire a way-too specific story of exactly how a story of one "fun-pizza" could go own. It's uncanny how easy it is to picture all of this. For more tumblr food stories, here's a thread on why super coffee is not a great idea, and a very creative story about sandwich demons.
There have been a few high profile cases of researchers teaching gorillas and chimps sign language. Here Tumblr shares some of the dark and incredible moments with different apes and ASL. For some more everyday moments of animal intelligence, here are the most creepily intelligent things peoples pets have done. For some interesting tumblr animal stuff, here's an informative thread on how cats became domesticated.
Whether it's by design, some weird implication, or just a chimp going crazy on live television, people remember some of the stranger, creepier and more messed up points from their favorite TV shows as kids. Here are some funny moments of cartoon logic about the times that make less sense.
They say that safety regulations are written in blood and it gets way worse than a few OSHA-defying safety fails. Big companies don't exactly have your best interests at heart, and there's a whole boatload of evidence from the early 1900s to confirm that. For some less dark history, here's tumblr making history fun.
Still better than the 2019 version. Whatever you're expecting from a "Cats" themed driving PSA from the U.S. Department of Transportation, you are gonna be slightly wrong. I mean, the thought was a noble one, but the execution was...interesting
Interring or spreading a loved ones remains is a deeply emotional, and sometimes logistically awkward moment. Mitch Feltscheer discovered this firsthand when his dad had to deal with an extra windy day by the sea. These moments happen from time to time, like this guy who wasn't sure what to do with a brick of his dad's ashes.
This might be too much cursed for us to handle this Monday. We can't put our fingers on what makes cursed images so enjoyable for those sick and twisted minds out there, but as long as Reddit's Cursed Images section keeps churning up images that make our insides squirm, we'll make sure you guys get your cursed images fix.
Cursed Images run the gammut of totally creepy, to strange and sometimes in a way, funny. There's a pantry of cursed food and an imposing amount of cursed toilets. They mostly air on the side of situations you'd rather not find yourself in. These ones are on the darker, creepier, and scary side. So buckle up for some no-context spooky weirdness.
Rogersimon10 is a prolific commenter on askreddit who is able to railroad any wholesome story into his dad beating him with jumper cables. It's a dark kind of trolling, and it's pretty dumb, but we admire his commitment to the bit. You never expect the jumper cables. He's a bit like Ken M, but with jumper cables.
We're not exactly sure how relatable this problem is, but at least they have a sense of humor about it. I guess the lesson here is don't wait too long to scatter a loved one's ashes. And I guess the other lesson would be "don't expect helpful solutions from the internet." Facebook commenters can deliver pretty serious burns, like the time they roasted this ad for having an absurd model with a comically tight shirt.
If there's crap like this floating around everywhere, you can rest assured that you're pretty okay at you job. At least you're not the person who thought it would be a good idea to pitch a wheelchair ramp at a 45 degree angle, thus making it accessible for literally no one. Go here for more dark and dirty design fails.
People are great at making things. They're even better at making things wrong, unusable, and with such glaring errors that they just make you laugh to look at. Here are some of the dumb, dark, and stupid things people made. Check this out for more idiotic design failures.
