The curator of the project does exactly what it says on the box and posts 'cursed' photos on Instagram and Twitter, and they're so strange that you're just as likely to be perplexed as amused. The term "cursed images" initially appeared online in late 2015, following the creation of a Tumblr blog dedicated to this type of strange content.
These memes spread on the site before making their way to Twitter in mid-2016. That's when cursed photos gained widespread notice, from The New Yorker to Gizmodo.
It's the kind of information that makes you pause in your browsing because it sticks out so much from the crowd. It's strange, it is frequently less than aesthetically pleasing, and it truly fires up your synapses as they attempt to comprehend the unintelligible.
We've gathered the strangest offenders to demonstrate that no matter how well you think you know the internet, there will always be something that makes you look twice. Get yourself ready as you scroll down.
