cursed images: let's get together and pin down the aesthetic!

Homogenic b-side

It's like that duck/rabbit optical illusion except here you see either Donald Duck or my soul leaving my body.

Or cinnamon-encrusted shrimp tail head guy.

last of those 3 images had s warning that said it may contain pornography

Depends on your particular kink, I guess.

This is old news I guess but I only found out yesterday about this particular cursed image:

https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/assets/images/galleries/golden-record/demonstration-of-licking-eating-and-drinking_30542224004_o.gif

which was put on the voyager space probe golden record for future aliens to be weirded out by. It's title is "a demonstration of licking, eating and drinking"

I have dozens if not hundreds of these things. It is a deep deep well, for the Easter Bunny is terrifying.

jfc old lunch

i'm anti-avatar for ilx, of course, but that bottom one is my ilx avatar. dibs.

but truly, thank you for your service

Oh, it's absolutely my pleasure.

Scrolling further along, some of my personal votes for 'worst and most cursed':

Ancient Snack, I salute you.

the easter present i didn't know i needed

i feel like if every other vestige of our civilization were obliterated and future alien archaeologists had nothing to go on but this thread alone, they'd be able to accurately reconstruct the nightmare collective psyche of our past half century.

happy easter!

I want to believe that, at some point in the distant past, there was a costume company somewhere that specialised purely in nightmarish bunny outfits. I'm not sure how else to explain the existence of this entire sub-genre of cursed images.

"Hey boss, how about this one?"

"No, no, no! These are supposed to sear themselves into the psyches of children for the rest of their lives. Start again and this time I want to see terror incarnate!"

https://i.imgur.com/asJLtvg.jpg

"Now, *this* I like!"

Yeah, I meeeeean

How hard is it to not make that happen, really

I forgot that I did a seasonal repost last year of a photograph I'm proud to have taken and I would be remiss if I didn't make a tradition of it and so Happy Easter 2 u all

(I could not fit all of the bunny heads into the frame, that's how many bunny heads there were)

wait a second

wait a second

It's not my home, if that's what you're wondering.

It's the well-hidden chamber beneath my home.

(Actually it's a fascinatingly labyrinthine antique/junk shop in Rogers Park. It's cursed image central.)

Really?! Sometime when things cool down a little I’m this crazy world, I’d love to go. We should each purchase a creepy bunny head imo

i fervently hope that some day this thread will be graced with a photo of karl malone and old lunch wearing bunny heads.

I will endeavor to make it a reality! Although, KM, you may want to leave your options open until you've perused the full range of desiccated masks and mascot heads they have on offer. I'll refrain from posting some of the other snaps I have for the moment but trust me: the accursedness, it runs deep.

Hell yeah! I’m ready to get cursed

no idea what's supposed to be going on there

That moment when you're trying to enjoy a restful drink n' deuce in a public restroom only to have your nemesis break in and ruin the vibe; also you're both '80s Filmation characters. Who among us etc.

that is a lot of bottles of .. sierra nevada pale ale, or perhaps o'doul's

The image already makes me laugh way harder than it probably should, but the thought of He-Man chugging fifteen O'Doul's in particular while sitting on the toilet is just about killing me rn

Hello I am a Person, I Promise

Hey y'all, have fun with this slight detour: a playlist of cursed commercials

I couldn't see if this was on there, as the criteria for inclusion seems to be every single ad ever made, but you can't really have a cursed ads playlist without Pork On Sundays.

"We've all got plenty...plenty to go round...."

Or this one:

That made me ill.
