strange

Cursed Images are a good reminder of how lost and repulsed we can be by random images with zero context. You could call it something like a sensory response to cognitive estrangement. You could also call it "being disgusted by seeing a bowl of pennies filled with milk." Little of column A, a lot of column B.

The subway is a bit like everyone's car, and you've seen some people's cars. But hey, people have got to get to where they're going whether they're in costume or an actual duck. What are you lookin' at? If the answer to that question is "more weird things on public transportation, then here's more strange and cursed moments on the subway.

As much as we'd all like to think we're perfectly rational, we're all creatures of suspicion and superstition. Sometimes we see strange events that we can't logically explain like having some weird premonition or out-of-body experience, and all we're left to do is sit there and go "alright, that was weird. People aren't going to believe this."

We all remember not knowing things, but sometimes we don't realize the absurd extents of our not knowing things. It's no mystery why kids are stupid and weird people; they just don't know how the world works. They do stuff until people tell them not to, and even then only some of them end up become functioning adults. Here are some more signs that kids are weird and stupid.

There are a vast array of strange, stupid and ridiculous junk nobody wants out there. There's also a whole lot of desperate, clever and hilarious people who want to sell them. It could be an old organ cooler or DIY Christmas decorations. It could be a werewolf baby doll. Honestly these listings say more about the person who posted them than the product or service itself. There's no end to the strange and dumb junk people try selling online.

The world isn't always straight forward. Sometimes you're looking at it from the side, or some other angle that obscures your view of someone's face. It's these illusions of eye-defying double-takery that can make us go "waaahhh" while trying to figure out if that's a dog or a boat. Foreground be damned, doubletake inducing photos of skewed perspective are here to stay.

Whether it's a combination of being sheltered, homeschooling, living in an extremely remote place, or being an undercover alien trying to understand earth, this person's friend got some attention for having some serious gaps in their knowledge. It's weird to be reminded that some folks don't get the memo and you have to explain really obvious things to people.

It doesn't take a lot to trick a brain into double-taking. A small shadow here, a reflection here, and some slightly confusing background over there. Just a few small inconsistencies and all of a sudden that dog is riding a bicycle. Double-take inducing images of skewed perspective are here to give those eyes a workout.

It shouldn't be a surprise that people are weird. We're weird as heck. We make life-like werewolf babies and fill our biceps with synthetic polymers until we look like cartoons. Naturally all those cursed images end up in the wonderful worldwide receptacle we call the internet. The weirdness never ends.

The brain usually does a good job figuring out what the eyes are giving it, but sometimes, when you're looking at double-take-causing images of skewed perspective, your brain just might make a mistake, and figure that that yeah, totally, that's a seagull wearing shoes. Whether it's an extra long horse or a cat with a human butt, there's no end to the strange illusions caused by weird perspective.

Whether it's a Dorito full of screws, an unfinished meal, a sofa made of crushed doll heads or a stolen port-a-potty, people will still try to make a buck out of it online. Craigslist, Ebay, and trading pages are home of some of the weirdest business propositions and posts that you can come across. If it's dumb junk, then someone will try to sell it online.

Ah, yes, the wonderful old "blursed image", where cursed meets blessed, and makes us feel uncomfortable while strangely comforted at the same time. You just have to see these blursed images to know what we're talking about. 

Check out these weird cursed images to feel uncomfortable about.

Kids are weird people. For some reason they have this drive to sarcastically worship strange idols, like the time this teacher's whole class started worshipping a stuffed octopus. It's a little comforting to know that people are strange everywhere and there's no escaping it, sort of like this epic tumblr saga of goat guy.

It's hard when something extremely strange or unlikely happens, because you want to tell someone without sounding like a liar or moron. People are right to be skeptical, but why would anyone lie about walking in on a vested goat eating a roll of toilet paper? You've got moments like these strange events people can't explain logically that make you think, "how am I gonna tell anyone about this?" It's so hard to explain rare and unlikely moments that went against the odds. 

It's weird that we're surrounded by people all the time, but it's against social convention to have a meaningful relationship with any of them. As rare as it is, people will take time out of their lives to make more of an impact than being just a face in the crowd. Some of these interactions are strange encounters, others are wholesome, but the one thing they all are is memorable.

What's the use of throwing anything away? If someone finds some dumb junk, they're gonna try selling it online. It's amazing what kinds of things people will try to pass off as collectable these days, but that doesn't stop anyone from trying. Old Taco Bell furniture, unique-looking cheetos and homemade lawnmowers are all at the top of the list of ridiculous junk people try to sell online.
