Before the internet, many folks could go to sleep happily sure that their neighbors and other random people around the world were, by and large, quite rational and normal. The internet has revealed that, in reality, some folks are just very strange.
We’ve gathered some of the most bizarre, random and just weird examples of things people have asked netizens online. So get comfortable, prepare to raise your eyebrows in concern, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts and stories in the comments below.

It probably shouldn’t come as a surprise to more veteran internet users that people are, sometimes, pretty strange. Furthermore, these folks will often not even know that they are a bit weird and are perfectly happy to share their thoughts, ideas and questions, no matter how unhinged, online. But the truth is, it’s been like this since there even was an internet.
In the early days of the internet, when you logged on with that screeching dial-up, you didn’t just find useful information or friendly communities. You discovered how bizarre people could be when nobody was watching.

Chat rooms quickly became breeding grounds for trolls who hid behind anonymous handles to hurl insults or spread conspiracy theories, turning what should have been casual conversation into a minefield of hostility and paranoia. Conversely, the internet also gave people who never had to deal with pushback an opportunity to share their ideas to millions with the protection of anonymity.

Personal web pages, once intended as simple online diaries, morphed into cluttered nightmares of blinking GIFs, auto-playing MIDI jingles, and bold declarations that “YOU MUST SIGN MY GUESTBOOK!” It wasn’t artful quirkiness so much as an overwhelming assault on your senses, leaving you desperate for a clean, uncluttered screen. Try looking up a 90s or an early 2000s webpage if you are curious.

You’d click “Next” on a link and find yourself knee-deep in amateur rants about government mind control or manifestos demanding prayer for your Tamagotchi’s soul. As it turns out, the knowledge required to create and maintain an early internet page was not a barrier for some of the stranger folks out there.

Email chains were equally maddening. Amid genuine messages from friends and family, you’d receive endless forwards, often claiming the world would end if you didn’t send the message to ten people, or bizarre tales of mutant vegetables walking off supermarket shelves. Your inbox became a battleground between the practical need to stay in touch and the futile effort to sift through digital junk.

And the trolls, oh, the trolls. They lurked in every corner, ready to derail threads with spam, slurs, or deeply unsettling “jokes.” Anonymous usernames gave them free rein to harass newcomers or hijack threads with nonsense, turning what might have been a helpful tip exchange into a depressing spectacle of pettiness.

Looking back, those first online communities revealed something darker about human nature: given a screen and a password, people often choose chaos over civility, spectacle over substance. The early internet wasn’t a charming town square, it was more like a dark carnival, where the weirdest, loudest, and most aggressive voices always seemed to drown out the rest.

We can see the after echo's of that in these sorts of threads, just strange people sharing strange thoughts online. But, take heart, for every bizarre comment or request, there are hundreds of very normal ones from very normal people. It’s just that the strangest parts tend to stand out at the end of the day.
