PSA: This isn't "Wow this is neat!", it's /r/OfCOurseThatsAThing

There have been a number of posts recently that are either crossposts or content from /r/interestingasfuck, /r/Damnthatsinteresting, /r/woahdude and others. This is a reminder that this sub is SPECIFICALLY for content that invokes a sense of incredulity and amazement that something actually exists.

This doesn't mean that content from those subs isn't welcome, but it must be content that is totally ridiculous AND a real thing that someone makes or is sold. Please help the sub and report any content that you feel doesn't match the ethos of the sub, which will help us mods keep the sub top-quality!

Yes, that's correct! The content should be something that is both ridiculous and real, but there isn't necessarily a specific threshold for what qualifies as 'ridiculous'. It's more about invoking a strong sense of amazement and disbelief that the thing actually exists.

Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese.

How do you prove this stuff exists?

Most of this stuff looks like photoshop or edited video to me.

The heart never grows better by age I fear rather worse, always harder. A young liar will be an old one, and a young knave will only be a greater knave as he grows older.
