Odd, contextless, and then there's the weird. These are just a few of the adjectives used to describe the 'Cursed Images' social media effort.

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.

1. Dead as stone

2. You get it?

3. Make it count

Their main purpose is to either shock or upset the audience, as well as to present an alternative to all of the attractive and sweet information that people are accustomed to seeing when they go online. Cursed images attract a lot of attention since they stand out from the typical viral content, such as kitten pictures, work memes, and parenting tweets.

4. Take it way up

5. Leg on leg

6. Put it together and boom…

7. Who gets it first?

Meanwhile, cursed emojis are glitchy, unaesthetic, and would most likely dwell in Uncanny Valley if it were a real place. Any meme that goes viral must find a method to connect with its target audience.

In general, the more relatable a topic or image is, the more probable it is that people will 'vibe' with it.

8. Don’t come close

9. Enjoy

10. When you love tomatoes

11. Toast?

A healthy dose of laughter can also help. After all, who doesn't appreciate a nice, lengthy chuckle to relieve stress?

You can, however, stand out by taking the opposite path. Instead of healthy and humorous, you get frightening and perplexing.

And in an age when we're all bombarded with memes on a daily basis, these kinds of images can actually feel 'new,' even if they make you raise your eyebrows.
