If you’ve spent even a little time online over the past several months, you’ve probably heard of Chappell Roan, whether or not you’ve listened to her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.
Although the singer, who was born in Missouri, has been recording music for almost ten years, her notoriety has unquestionably exploded since March of this year. After that, she went on tour as Olivia Rodrigo’s opening act, played Coachella, dropped her single “Good Luck, Babe!”, had the largest daytime set at Lollapalooza ever, and had her album, which has been out for almost a year, debut in the top 10 of the Billboard 200. She currently has about 40 million Spotify subscribers each month.
Both online and at her performances, Chappell has been extremely candid about how her quick ascent to stardom has impacted her life and mental health thus far. She addressed the audience in tears during a tour stop in Raleigh, North Carolina, saying, “I just want to be honest with the crowd.” I suppose it’s difficult to keep up with the rapid pace of my career, which is why I feel a little off today. To be really honest, I’m struggling right now.
Speaking about abuse from her admirers, Chappell said last month as a guest on Drew Afualo’s podcast The Comment Section, “People have started to be freaks — like, follow me and know where my parents live, and where my sister works.” Everything is so strange.” She revealed that she had made a self-promise a few years prior to this that she would leave if she started to get “stalker vibes” or thought that her family was in danger as a result of her admirers.
She continued, saying, “We are present. Honestly, I’ve slammed the brakes on anything that could increase my visibility. Right now, it resembles a forest fire.”
In an attempt to reach out to her followers directly, Chappell posted a video on TikTok today in which she asks them if they would treat a stranger on the street the same way they do. Would you shout at a random woman you saw on the street through your car window? Would you confront her in the open?”
“Would you stalk her family? Would you follow her around? Would you try to dissect her life and bully her online? This is a lady you don’t know, and she doesn’t know you at all. I’m a random bitch. You’re a random bitch.”
“I don’t care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous, or somewhat famous,” she said in a follow-up video. The fact that this insane behaviour is a part of the profession doesn’t bother me. That doesn’t normalise it or make it acceptable.”
“Whenever you see a celebrity, I don’t want whatever the fuck you believe you should be entitled to. If you believe it’s self-centred of me to decline an embrace, a picture, or your time, I could care less. That isn’t typical. That is strange! It’s appropriate for me to refuse weird behaviour.”
We previously included several anecdotes from folks who had dated someone who was, well, sort of dumb. Here are a few of the more entertaining “I’m dating an idiot” stories that BuzzFeed Community members shared in the post’s comments.
1.
“She started giggling when we arrived to the dinosaur bones when we were on a trip to the museum. She asserted with confidence that dinosaurs never existed when I questioned what was so funny. She reasoned that since she had only seen them in cartoons, they couldn’t possible exist. She was twenty-two.”
2.
“Back in high school, my ex-boyfriend believed that a woman’s monthly cycle was represented as blue liquid in advertisements for feminine goods. Couldn’t leave the relationship quickly enough.”
3.
“My spouse and I were searching for a new vehicle. He wanted a convertible, and I wanted a standard automobile. He got upset with me for opening the sunroof on my car even though it was 74 degrees outside and sunny. He said his face was scorching from the sun. We didn’t purchase a convertible car.
4.
“I informed him that I was arranging a trip to Australia with my best buddy. When he explained the duration of the flights, he asked, “You guys don’t want to drive there?” Our place of residence is Canada.”
5.
We got into a heated argument about birds being mammals with my ex. She insisted that birds are mammals because they had warm blood, citing her experience as a marine biologist major as justification for her argument. It was late at night. Although I knew they were warm-blooded, I had to establish they were in their own category—BIRDS—by getting out of bed and using dial-up internet.”
6.
“He had no idea what a toe was. I believed that my foot’s fourth toe was fractured. I showed him that it was swollen and bruised when he wanted to see it. ‘I thought you mentioned you hurt your toe?’ he asked. I indicated the discoloured toe once more and answered, “Yes, this one.” He gave it a long look, then turned back to face me, saying, “I thought only the big ones were toes.”
I’m still not sure what he believed the other objects were that were on the end of his foot. Perhaps he had simply never thought to ask? Alternatively, perhaps he saw them as pigs.”
7.
“My ex-fiancé thought women just walk around with milk in their boobs, willy-nilly.”
8.
As my former partner and I were becoming intimate, he abruptly jolted to his feet and said, ‘Oh my god, I felt a lump!’
9.
He mentioned having a vaporiser, and we were going to smoke marijuana. This man takes out a HUMIDIFIER, puts some marijuana in the water basin, and doesn’t know how to turn it on to produce smoke.”
10.
“My gender is masculine. In order for us to have sex and prevent her from getting pregnant, my date asked when I usually got my period. She was older than twenty-five.”
11.
“I was introduced to one of my friend’s roommates, and we clicked immediately. A few weeks into our relationship, I went to pick her up for a performance, but she was still getting ready, so her roommates allowed me in. When I stepped in, there was a weird fragrance in the air, and they were all grinning and kind of laughing. Following a short while of small talk, her roommate—who happens to be my friend—couldn’t contain herself any longer and led me into the kitchen to show me something. A plastic bowl had melted onto the hob when I turned to face the stove. Using a Tupperware bowl to heat the mixture, my date attempted to prepare mac and cheese on the stove without supervision.
12.
“This girl I dated was a grocery store employee. She informed me that she had questioned a Pennsylvanian customer on the veracity of vampire presence in the state.
13.
As we were having fun, fully clothed, he gave me a dry hump. Once more, completely dressed. We came to an end, and he left. He came over crying and worried sick two days later. I enquired as to the situation. He wanted to see a doctor so that they could verify my pregnancy as a result of what ‘he did to me.’ Once more, we had only been dressed for two days. We were sophomores in college as well.”
14.
“Guy invited me to a celebration of graduation. At that time, I had mono. He drove off the road after the party and bent over to give me a kiss. I mentioned that I have mono again. “Kissing cures mono,” he replied. “What?!”
15.
“She was having a debate with an employee and finally said, ‘Vietnam isn’t a COUNTRY, it’s a WAR.’”
16.
When my then-girlfriend Charles Whitman used firearms to execute mass murder atop the University of Texas clock tower in 1966, she exclaimed, ‘They should outlaw towers!’” Towers, not guns.
17.
“I went to the Metro Zoo with four generations of women from her family while I was seeing a woman in her mid-twenties. My girlfriend, her mother, grandma, and her 7-year-old kid were all there. There was a big dinosaur exhibit in the zoo. We agreed to meet again in an hour, but I wanted to check out the reptile pavilion since I had already seen the display. They weren’t happy when I met them. I enquired as to the problem. The three elder ones exclaimed, “It’s just a bunch of skeletons; what a waste of time.” “The last dinosaur on Earth has been extinct for at least 65 million years,” I retorted.
18.
“My ex-husband asked me how the rice multiplies when I was preparing it. What does he mean, I asked? He believed the rice had grown to fill the saucepan. Numerous justifications for his ex-status.”
19.
“I had a lunch appointment with a New Yorker who personified the iconic New Yorker magazine cover about a New York resident’s perception of US geography while I was living on the East Coast. He took a time to enquire, “Does Minnesota have a seacoast?” when I informed him where I was from.
20.
“One day, while a guy I was dating was spending a few days at my house, I saw that every time he made toast, he would take up the full toaster and move it across my spacious kitchen to use and plug it in. I questioned him about the reason for his actions after noticing them multiple times. In response, he said he was bringing the toaster closer to the bread loaf. After a moment of incredulity, I asked him if he didn’t think it would be a little easier to take the bread to the toaster. All it took for me to quietly retreat from this Einstein was the blank stare.”
21.
“On our first date, the girl says she’s a vegetarian before we even get to the restaurant. No issue, I opted for a restaurant with a wide selection. She asks for a steak as we settle in. I wanted to know if she was a vegetarian. Yes, but this is from the meat factory, so it’s okay, she responds. Decades before the whole Impossible Meat frenzy, this occurred. The server gave me a sidelong glance and remarked, “I don’t think she’s going to work out for us, babe.” I played along and responded, “Probably not.” I got to have a great steak with the waitress on her break, who I eventually married, while the female got upset and fled.”
It was once said by Louis Armstrong, “What a wonderful world.” And at Bored Panda, we wholeheartedly concur. There are 195 nations, so there are plenty of sites to discover. The differences between one region of the planet and another are genuinely astounding. One of the amazing things about travel is that. You get to experience various cuisines, languages, cultures, and currencies. A dinner prepared in Antarctica may differ from one consumed in Asia. You won’t necessarily wear the same thing in Western Sahara as you would in Wales.
If you’re desperate to travel but aren’t yet ready to board an aircraft. Remain calm. The world’s most amazing charts that display remarkable contrasts have been compiled by Bored Panda. To satiate your worldly curiosity, continue scrolling. And peruse a bit of the chronicles of global exploration.

Seeing the globe from the comfort of your home is simple. There is no lack of vloggers showcasing the best that any nation has to offer. To live vicariously via them, all you have to do is scroll through Instagram. Some people are amassing remarkable lists of the places they have been. Some even brag of having visited all or nearly all of them.
These days, we only need our phones to purchase a plane ticket. Long before we get there, we can learn a lot about where we are going. Most likely, we are fully aware of our destination. How much time it will take to arrive. What certain items will set you back. What to pack, too. However, it wasn’t always the case.

However, the risk was so great that only one ship made it back. Just 18 of the 270-person initial crew of the fleet returned with the ship, according to History.com. Although Magellan himself perished in combat during the journey, his daring exploration demonstrated that the earth was far bigger than previously thought and that the globe could be circumnavigated by water.

Recently, we collected the most hilarious parallels between J.D. Vance and Tim Walz, the vice presidential running partner, from this Reddit thread.
We just had to include the excellent ones that were in the comments as well because there were so many of them! The BuzzFeed Community’s top comparisons are shown below:
“Tim Walz is the person who leaves a large tip after striking up a conversation with the waitress about her college courses. J.D. Vance returns his steak twice and tips with one of those tracts that resemble cash.”
“The best Halloween candy is given out by Tim Walz. The creepy guy your parents warn you not to take anything from is J.D. Vance.”
“Tim Walz is the one who, before heading out to the store, asks if anyone has any needs. The person who parks his cart in the middle of his space and then walks away is J.D. Vance.”
“Your favourite treats will be included in care packages that Tim Walz will mail you. You will receive cease-and-desist letters from J.D. Vance.”
“If you need a confidant, you go to Tim Walz, the teacher.” The person who overhears and informs the entire school is J.D.”
“The person you share a beer with is Tim Walz. The person who drinks your beer if you get up to use the loo is J.D. Vance.”
“If you need assistance putting your bag in the overhead bin, Tim Walz is the person to ask. If you can’t put your carry-on up there yourself, J.D. Vance is the guy who tells you not to bring it (as he stands there and watches you struggle).
“Tim Walz will instruct football for second graders. The father on the side who is screaming at the fifth-grade referee is J.D. Vance.”
“When you and your friend are having trouble bringing the couch inside, Tim Walz assists you. J.D. Vance manoeuvres ‘himself’ onto your sofa.
“If you only have one or two things, Tim Walz is the guy in the checkout queue who will let you go ahead of him.” The man who checks out of the express line with a cart full of groceries is J.D. Vance.”
“When you take your child to their cancer treatments, Tim Walz makes you a casserole twice a week. J.D. Vance casually sends his prayers and thoughts.”
“In a public restroom, Tim Walz is the one who gets up, flushes and cleans the toilet seat. J.D. Vance is the person who gets up and leaves, leaving his mess on the floor, in the toilet, and all over the seat. He then complains to management about it.”
“The person that makes the extra effort to hold the door open until you arrive is Tim Walz. Even if you are directly behind J.D. Vance, he lets everything slam in your face.”
“The person who would offer you his final Diet Mountain Dew is Tim Walz. The person who would accept it and take only a few drinks is J.D. Vance.”
“The guy who helps you get your car out of the snow is Tim Walz. The person who shovels out a parking space so that only he can use it is J.D. Vance.
“A family in need will have a whole Christmas sponsored by Tim Walz. Santa isn’t real, J.D. Vance will explain to the children.”
“The man who takes his neighbour to the doctor is Tim Walz. It’s J.D. Vance who denies him access to healthcare.”
“While you’re on vacation, Tim Walz will water your grass. While you’re away, J.D. Vance will water his own grass and connect his sprinkler system to your home.”
“I like Tim Walz a lot. It is imperative to acknowledge that J.D. Vance is a ‘good person.’”
“The person who will assist you in carrying your items to your car is Tim Walz. The person who left you a letter for parking a half inch over the queue is J.D. Vance.”
And lastly, “Women would pick Tim Walz over the bear.” When ladies discuss “picking the bear,” they are talking about J.D. Vance.”
Relativity has become a popular haven for many people in our contemporary culture. Knowing that we are not alone in our unique life events feels consoling and improves our ability to connect with people, elevate our mood, and control our emotions.
Anyone looking for online comfort can find such collective experiences shared via the Instagram account “Girlyzar.” Below are some of the greatest memes it has to offer. To locate them, keep scrolling, and don’t forget to give the ones you most connect to a vote up.
While you’re at it, make sure to listen in on Hilary Young, a marketing consultant and brand strategist, who thinks relatability has grown in importance for firms.

It’s true that relatability has great power. The major reason influencers have such enormously successful careers is because they share real, relatable versions of themselves online. Furthermore, many organisations now employ the authenticity sentiment as a marketing tactic to draw in clients who are searching for a human connection in their products or services.
These days, customers want to support businesses that reflect their values, are sensitive to their needs, and interact with them in a humane manner in addition to purchasing goods and services.

Bored Panda contacted Hilary Young, a brand strategist and marketing consultant, to find out more about it. Young feels that relatability is a key element in developing a strong brand.

She does point out that companies can’t just suddenly become relatable, though. “To create brand messaging that resonates with your target audience, you have to genuinely understand them and the range of emotions they are experiencing at any given time.”
#10
#11
#12
She goes on to say, “A company’s chances of engaging customers and getting them to open their wallets and recommend it to others are greatly increased when they can relate to and engage with the brand in an authentic manner.”
#13
#14
#15
In her own work, she advocates for businesses to understand their customers. “I advise my clients to approach brand strategy in a manner that is very similar to the guidance I give my kids as a mother: lead with empathy, pay attention to what other people have to say, and be genuine in all of your dealings with them. When properly implemented, all of these suggestions for developing a powerful brand will greatly increase your brand’s relatability to your target market.
#16

#18
However, it’s difficult to be genuine and sympathetic; you can’t really force it. According to Young, leading with empathy, paying close attention to what consumers have to say, and being truly oneself are some ways to make sure that their interactions with them are genuine and unstaged.
#19
#20
#21
Naturally, this is easier said than done for both people and brands. For this reason, companies must develop a documented brand plan that will give them greater confidence as they navigate the marketplace. Because brand strategies enable firms to project more genuine confidence in their marketing, you must exercise extreme caution when adhering to them because consumers are highly astute and can spot a faker from a distance,” the expert says.
#22
#23
#24
Young continues, “It also implies that they will maintain consistency in their messaging, which further contributes to relatability.” Your audience will become confused if you continually deliver conflicting messages or change your messaging, and they will leave you for a competitor who has worked out how to carry out their brand strategy more shrewdly.
Jokes that Joe Rogan made in his most recent Netflix special, Burn the Boats, have drawn criticism.
His first stand-up special since 2018 is called Burn the Boats. Additionally, it’s his first live stream on Netflix since he inked a contract with the streamer this summer. Joe implied that there might be “some ride-home arguments” in the teaser, but he made sure to emphasise that they are all jokes. Just light-hearted remarks.”
Shortly after the launch, Joe began discussing “woke” subjects like transgender representation and “pregnant men.” Even though he describes himself as “open-minded,” he said he thought trans males had been welcomed into American culture far too rapidly.
“I have an open mind. All I want to know is what transpired,” he stated. “It’s almost like a pervert wizard waved a magic spell on the whole world.”
“With a wave of this wand, you can walk into the women’s locker room with a hard cock, and anybody who complains is a Nazi,” he quipped, acting like a wizard. Bravo! And it simply functions!”
“And everyone just accepts this new reality, and it’s fucking weird,” Joe said. “We just need standards, in my opinion. You can’t enter the women’s restroom and shit just because you put on lipstick.”
He continued, “I just want to know what’s going on.” “Like, the world got weird.”
Joe continued by saying he “believes” in transgender persons and that it is an adult’s right to “do whatever makes them happy.” He chuckled, “But I also believe in crazy people!”
“Somehow or another, that got left out of the equation,” Joe continued. “All of a sudden, crazy people just went away like the flu in COVID!”
In addition, he joked about the “strange” times of the coronavirus pandemic and gay guys, saying he doesn’t “want to be surrounded by” them. “I would have told you that vaccines are the most important invention in human history before COVID,” Joe remarked. ‘I don’t think we travelled to the moon,’ I said after COVID. Michelle Obama has a dick, in my opinion. I believe Pizzagate to be real. I believe that Antarctica contains direct energy weapons. I’m not sure if Michelle Obama has a dick, but I do think all of that other crap.”
Everything depends on the context. Without it, you might not even notice anything strange about some seemingly innocent photos. However, your response may alter significantly if you are aware of more details regarding what is depicted. uncooked. visceral. utterly terrified. However, some images exude evil and trigger our fight-or-flight (or freeze-or fawn) reaction right away. Today, we’re showcasing some of the spookiest images ever captured, as published on X, the former Twitter account, by the hugely popular @fasc1nate account. Look them out by scrolling down, and don’t forget to leave a comment at the bottom of the page with your thoughts on the pictures.
Note that some of the issues on this list are extremely sensitive, so it’s not for the weak of heart.

The BBC points out that even seemingly commonplace objects, including dolls, clowns, and mannequins, can have eerie associations.
Behavioural scientist and horror specialist Dr. Coltan Scrivner claims that practically everyone can relate to the creepy feeling. “What most people mean when you say you’re creeped out is exactly what they know.” It’s really realistic.

Studies reveal that eerie objects are typically vaguely menacing. According to a 2015 study on the psychological aspects of creepiness, it can occur in the grey region between potentially dangerous and non-threatening situations.
Things like dolls, mannequins, and clowns are very unsettling to a lot of people. They perceive an underlying malevolence in these (objectively benign) objects.

In real life, clowns paint on smiles, but on TV, dangerous clowns frequently paint on frowns, according to Dr. Scrivener, who spoke to BBC Bitesize. The scientist said, “This sends mixed messages about whether they’re actually safe.”
In the meanwhile, some people find mannequins, dolls, and clowns frightening due to the uncanny valley phenomena. It has to do, in essence, with the unease people experience when they witness something that nearly resembles a human being yet falls short.

Not just humans, animals, and objects can frighten us. Just like desolate forest roads, landscapes can make us feel uneasy. Given that humans are social animals, you should definitely ask yourself “why is nobody else here?” if you’re by yourself and notice that nobody else is around. Is there a problem with this location? Is it risky? stated Dr. Scrivner.

Silence, sounds, and music can all have comparable effects. But in this case, context is crucial. It’s only eerie when a door creaks open when you’re alone. The scientist noted that it may be a hint that someone or something is moving slowly.
Alternatively, a badly-oiled door would be, at most, a mild irritation in a house full of people you know. Why? because you are comfortable and feel safe.

Mothers are super heroes driven by unwavering devotion to their child, tenacity, and maybe coffee. parents spend so much time and energy taking care of their kids that parents have forgotten what it’s like to get a good night’s sleep or some alone time. As such, they should also have some well-earned “me time,” even if it only consists of five minutes of silently scrolling through social media.

We recently published a piece about texts that nobody likes to receive, and this one is an example of one from a father to his son’s 19-year-old girlfriend:
Fortunately, though, not every text message gives me nightmares. In fact, a few are downright comical! So, to witness 21 instances where SMS messages were truly comedic masterpieces, scroll down:
To start, here’s this wonderfully uncomfortable text message from a man who didn’t understand his cousin’s suggestion at all:
This partner who took a beating and regretted it in the healthiest way imaginable:
There’s also this guy who received a misdirected text and made the sender sincerely regret sending it:
This woman discovered an old phone full of her junior high boyfriend’s texts, and they’re hilariously hilarious:
“They call me bad gurl “
“You’re my special princess…”
Ahh…junior high romance!
This boyfriend who gave his girlfriend the following response (spoiler alert: she was hoping for a romantic response but didn’t get it):
This boyfriend’s equally unromantic reaction to his gorgeous girlfriend was as follows:
And this partner who utterly mocked her partner (as well as his hairline):
8. This kid who absolutely roasted his mother after receiving a little sex ed in school:
This guy texted his ex while high and got, let’s say, VERBOSE replies:
And this father who, after his daughter texted him to ask for a lift home from junior high, never let a day pass without making fun of her:

I beg your pardon, ma’am!

Or maybe this is his way of being roe-mantic!

Meet James Fridman, the Photoshop wizard who puts the online community on edge. This British graphic designer has a talent for transforming photo requests into humorous masterpieces, all while adding his own whimsical spin. He’s been doing it for years and has learned one simple lesson: watch what you ask for. Whether you need his assistance with photoshopping someone out of a photo or adjusting the background, he will undoubtedly surprise and exceed expectations. So be ready as we present the funniest photo edits.
From Logo Tee Lover to Tattooed Devotee
This photo was submitted by a woman who complained that her boyfriend always wore the same shirt in their shots. And really, who can blame him? We all have a favorite t-shirt that we wear all the time. Anyway, she asked for the Calvin Klein emblem to be removed off the shirt. The manipulated image depicts the lover without his favorite clothing but with a tattoo of the name of his favorite brand.
We love it. We particularly appreciated his response when he shared the finished photograph on Twitter. He wrote, “his love will never deklein,” which is absolutely wonderful.
This Kid Definitely Tied His Best
What’s more awkward than the man’s hand in the shot on the left? Yes, that is his hand in the photograph on the right. He basically begged that his left hand look less weird by holding something. It is clutching something in the photo on the right, but it does not appear any less weird. If anything, we can’t keep our eyes off of it right now. At least in the first photo, you had a chance of missing it.
That being said, we hope this person uses the second shot for anything he wants since it’s really hilarious. It would be suitable for almost any application.
Now That’s One Way to Improve a Picture
This is obviously quite clear, however the female in the photo requested that the guy’s two middle fingers be deleted. We understand why you would want something like that deleted from a photo. They were eventually replaced by the guy’s index toes, though. Still, they’re his index toes, not his middle toes, which is probably far superior to his previous stance.
It also appears goofy, which is not a bad thing. In fact, if you hadn’t seen the first photo, the second one might be more plausible in terms of some of these.
Chill Out And Enjoy The Scenery
They often say, “Be careful what you wish for.” This girl requested that her background be changed to something “cooler”. A lake looks very amazing to us, but we’re guessing she had something different in mind. She ended up getting photoshopped into one of the coolest places of all: a freezer. Is that considered poetic justice? Or is this irony? Regardless, the photo on the right is fantastic.
We just don’t know how useful it is anymore, since you can’t see her face or tell who she is. We think she’ll be stuck with the boring old lake photo.
Better Be More Specific Next Time
The individual in this photo submitted a request that the nuts in the photo on the left be deleted. We’re not sure why, but the entire photo appears wrong, and the two of them appear to have just awoken. But he got his desire, and the photo on the right shows him post-surgery. We can only assume what surgery he was supposed to be recovering from.
We believe it had something to do with the way he referred to the bowl of nuts, but that’s half the fun of some of these. The girlfriend was also completely erased from the right-hand photo.
At Least The Hair Is Gone?
This is a thoughtful request. The girlfriend in this photograph saw that her hair was all over her fiance’s face. So she just asked that a few strands be clipped so that you could see him properly. Instead, she had a strangely disproportionate neck. It accomplishes the same thing, we assume, although it appears to have taken a lot more effort than simply eliminating hair.
However, we could be mistaken because we couldn’t use Photoshop to save our lives. This could have been the simpler and faster method, even if it does appear a little wrong.
So That’s What The World Looks Like
We absolutely love this edit. The guy in the photo on the right asked, “On this pic I forgot to take off my glasses. Could you remove them?” And as you can see (or can’t see), in the photo on the right, the picture was just made to look like it was from the perspective of someone who wore really thick glasses. We’re not even sure why this kid wanted to have his glasses removed in the first place, though.
There’s no issue with using spectacles. It is our best estimate that approximately 50% of people use glasses. They actually give you a more sophisticated appearance that you would otherwise have.
Special Recipe
When this girl wanted to be given wings, we’re not quite sure what she was expecting, but we’re pretty sure she wasn’t anticipating a six-piece. Perhaps something a little cuter, more artistic, or perhaps a pair of hand-drawn wings was what she was hoping for. Rather than a pair of “actual” wings, she received a bucket of chicken, but to be honest, we’d definitely prefer that.
Though a touch out of place, it’s just more realistic. However, it’s possible that she was in route to a picnic or another similar event.
“How Close Can You Get Us? “
This unfortunate pair. While on vacation, they requested to have their picture taken, but for some reason, the random stranger asking to take their picture ordered them to stand farther apart. His logic? He was determined to capture the tree in the backdrop in the picture. Although the tree is lovely, we’re not exactly sure why he was so fixated on it. It makes sense that the girlfriend requested to have the awkward area in the picture between her and her boyfriend eliminated.
However, when she mentioned that she wanted to be “closer” to her lover, she most likely didn’t have this in mind. That second picture shows very major attachment problems.
Taking Out The Trash
This is one way to detract from an otherwise really beautiful picture. This girl requested to be photographed with a bag slung over her left shoulder, but she didn’t say what sort. That would be incorrect because she was seen in a photoshop holding a trash bag. In addition, garbage cans and signs were added to the beach to help it blend in better with the rest of the picture.
While we wouldn’t call the picture on the right an improvement, it is unquestionably more entertaining to look at than the one on the left. It simply has more activity going on.
He’s Killing The Vibe
There’s no arguing with this one—it’s the best Photoshop job on the list, hands down. The message stated, “Really fan of what you do, can you please erase the guy in the back, he kinda messes my pic.” We’re also really happy that the man in the rear was removed since without him, we never would have been able to get this amazing picture on the right.
That is, however, arguably one of the nicest dog pictures we have ever seen. The dog even appears to be trying to smile or to be afraid. We are unable to decide.
That Should Do It
This picture essentially captures the feelings of every American college graduate who has graduated within the last 30 years. This man requested that his vehicle be exchanged with one that was slightly more costly. Although the automobile he owns appears to be in perfect condition, we’re not sure why he was thinking about getting anything more expensive. It has a few paint chips, but nothing unusual about it.
In any case, his automobile was replaced with something far more costly: the debt he most likely incurred during his time in college. We’re saddened by this, and we feel bad for the man.
Always Close Your Eyes When Kissing
One of the few basic guidelines that almost everyone should abide by is to always close your eyes when sharing a kiss. It’s a little bit spooky, and nobody wants to appear like that weirdo that kisses with their eyes open. It’s also a little funny. We doubt that this is what the guy in the picture meant when he asked to have his girlfriend’s eyelids Photoshopped shut.
A stranger covering your girlfriend’s eyes with their extending arm while you’re kissing is the weirdest thing about someone kissing with their eyes open.
More Interesting You Say?
Although we found the first picture on the left to be really intriguing, the girl in it requested that her picture be somewhat enhanced. Therefore, the edit artist included a bull and a bullring in the picture. A bullfighter is interesting, but what’s more? Almost nothing. The fact that the clothing is already red doesn’t hurt either; in the second picture, you almost feel sorry for the girl.
Nevertheless, we believe that if there had been real people in the stands, the final image would have been slightly better. Why would there be nothing within a bullring?
Finding A Home For Hands
A few of the “weird” hand images on this list are noteworthy, and before now, we never really gave hands any care in photography. The girl in the picture on the left, on the other hand, claimed that she wasn’t satisfied with the appearance of her hand. Rather, her desire was to have something done with it, and she received exactly that. Her hand seems more at home in the second picture, taken while she was on a packed bus.
To be fair, we assume that it’s difficult to find a location for an awkwardly positioned hand, but she does now appear to be genuinely irritated and doesn’t want to be there.
Fixing A Crooked Bowtie
The hardest subjects for pictures are children. Nevertheless, it appears like the child in this picture is enjoying himself quite a bit. Even still, he appears to be grinning voluntarily. Nevertheless, the mother sought to have her son’s bowtie fixed after seeing that it was a touch off-center. Naturally, it was straightened up, but in a unique way—a twist, if you will. We apologize.
The son is practically floating in the air, as if he’s about to be shot like a rocket, even though his bowtie is straight. That or someone is possessing him.
At Least The Glass Is Gone?
This girl requested that the glass be taken out of the picture entirely, even though we’re not sure why it would make her appear awkward to have it just resting on the table in front of her. She seems no less awkward in the second picture, even though the glass has been taken off. It appears as though she may have dropped her drink. The picture on the right shows her arm completely drenched.
We do like that the lime slice was left on the table, though. It effectively directs your gaze to the spilt drink in the center of the picture.
This One Got A Little Dark
This poor boy has to understand the distinction between backdrop and foreground. Since he is also in the backdrop, he could potentially be referring to himself when he asks for the “guy in the background” to be removed. And that’s what he received. All that remained once he was taken out were his hands and arms. It’s a little unsettling to see his bones protruding.
Still, it blends in some way with the overall festive vibe. For some strange reason, this picture makes us think of the movie Zombieland; perhaps it’s the mutilated arms and the carefree smile.
Our Gardens At Home
This picture contains a message that, with some concentration, you might be able to decipher. The girl in the picture asked the guy who was watering the plants in the background to go. Still, you’re going to end up with the picture on the right when you crop off the guy watering the plants. Since everything is dead, it actually reminds us a little bit of our backyard gardens.
Reminding people to water their plants or to take care of the world, depending on how serious you want to take the message, is likely what it means.
An Awkward Photo Of An Ex
Everybody has at some point owned an uncomfortable picture of their ex. If you really enjoy the picture, it’s more worse because your ex is in it, which ruins the whole thing. It wouldn’t be very easy to photoshop her ex out of the shot, but this girl asked if it was possible. She needs someone or something to support her hands and arms for her entire posture to be in place.
The artist has cleverly added a man-shaped bush with photoshop to the image. Her ex is no longer there, and although the reason she’s embracing a tree is a little hazy, her stance makes sense.
Creating The Perfect Homecoming Photo
Some of the most significant pictures you’ll take during your high school career are of homecoming and prom. But it appears that the photographer who was meant to merge the two pictures on the left withdrew, leaving these two with isolated portraits of themselves. The girl requested that the two pictures be merged. She said, “Can you put these two together?” exactly. However, she didn’t exactly say which two she preferred to be together.
It’s the most inventive homecoming picture we’ve ever seen. What she received was a picture of herself and her date standing behind a green sheet.
Breaking All The Rules
This guy knew what he was doing whenever he asked to be photoshopped into a “bad boy.” That fanny pack and unicorn tattoo just say it all. So, a sign was added that banned pretty much everything he was wearing. He also got a warning that the police were on the way when he received the altered photo. We’d believe it, too. This guy was wilfully breaking every rule in that place.
And fanny packs are only worn by shady types, as everyone knows. After this picture was shot, hopefully, he managed to escape without being discovered. We are unable to calculate how much time that would have been.
Pool Anyone?
Although sometimes candid shots turn out really well, most of the time people are merely doing things that appear a little odd in a still image. This picture of the woman’s sister-in-law turned out to be a little odd because the subject was actually moving her arm at the time it was taken. She requested that her sister-in-law’s arm be given extra TLC to make it appear more realistic. However, as you can see, adding a table and pool stick was the only way to make that appear more realistic.
However, as with the majority of the images on this list, the final product does accomplish the desired result. She presents a photograph in a much more natural way.
That’s Definitely Not The Same Octopus
In comparison to several other pictures on this list, this one is rather an improvement. This girl requested to have her appearance photo-shopped to appear less awkward and more natural. And unless you’re a vegetarian or vegan, there’s not really anything wrong with the picture on the left. It appears that she was simply photo-shopped wearing a scuba diving costume and hanging out with an entirely different kind of octopus.
Regardless of your dietary preferences—vegan or vegetarian—it would be somewhat disappointing if it turned out to be the same octopus. In the picture on the right, the octopus simply appears to be having a great time.
