church pic is too self conscious

Its big ball chunky time (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Friday, 19 February 2021 15:12 (five years ago)

There's this whole subset of images which are unquestionably cursed but which just feature uncanny + unpeopled spaces (I've taken to thinking of them as 'dispatches from nopespace'). I hadn't really thought of them as fitting the purview of this thread so I've never posted any of them here but reading through mark's criteria in the first post maybe they do. I have my own subset of rules (no moldering + abandoned ruins, nothing overtly staged + creepy, absolutely positively no creatures alive or dead allowed, etc.)

But anyway like this:

I have like > 1000 of these things. Maybe they need their own thread.

i know we all really care about the boundaries of the 'cursed' category and to be fair that's what this thread was about initially, but fwiw my vote is just to abandon all impulses to second-guess / start new threads and just use one convenient location for all things both cursed and tangential to cursed that might cross our paths because who has the time really?

Hey OL, just because you pieced together my city doesn't mean you can just waltz on over, during a pandemic no less, to photograph my toilet and just post it on the internet without my permission.

soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 23 February 2021 23:25 (five years ago)

A million apologies. As a peace offering, I share with u my own toilet

Terrorist toilet crossover.

I want to believe another toilet is on the other side of that wall and this is an arena for some kind of contest

I’m starting to get a little worried about the depth of OL’s cursed image folder storage method.

is it ok if we destroy our own toilets in an effort to qualify for this thread?

Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 24 February 2021 06:17 (five years ago)

toilets shd have their own thread or we'll never get it back

mark s, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 10:51 (five years ago)

this thread was for the lazy asset-stripping of the cursed images twitter account not the toilets /wthreatening auras twitter account

mark s, Wednesday, 24 February 2021 10:52 (five years ago)

well the idea of absolute privacy while you go through your bodily functions isn't exactly universal. Romans even shared their wiping implements between different users of the same communal facilities I thought the japanese had somewhat similar ideas of communal relief stations. could be wrong.
I'm reminded of the Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie when i see things like that conference room unit.
