Really weird. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dox · 2022-07-15 20:03 not the weirdest but weirdest that showed up quickly for me. And prrty trrky. interesting idea, lets hope the thread bears the weirdest fruits. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jens Hansen · 2022-07-15 20:25 This is a fun thread idea; only took me a few clicks to find weird imagery! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Demeere · 2022-07-15 20:33 curl -s 'https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Random/File' -L | sed 's/Size of this preview/\nSize of this preview/g' | grep "Size of this preview" | cut -d '"' -f 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yuki Nagato · 2022-07-15 20:37 >>9500 could be better, not every page has the 'Size of this preview' string ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Agent Smith · 2022-07-15 22:58 >>9497 i have no idea what the fuarrrk this one is ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pulse · 2022-07-15 23:07 >>9497 Best ones i found ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Haruyoshi · 2022-07-16 01:02 1st image, NSFW, probably. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aristóteles Amadópulus · 2022-07-16 22:24 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hitomi · 2022-07-17 01:07 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Morpheus · 2022-07-17 03:16 >In third world countries like India the saniation is bad While true, this does not explain why someone sketched a woman mid squat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nanashi No Gombe · 2022-07-20 20:20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ender · 2022-07-22 17:12 Nice, this is a source buffet for the /glitchart/ thread ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Arctor · 2022-07-23 07:45 The random generator was fixated on ordinary buildings and roads today. Wonder if there's some kind of rolling selection bias? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aristóteles Amadópulus · 2022-07-23 07:53 >>9538 I like it when the PRNG kind of makes a story... It's like Zorg was just in these ruins looking for THE STONES. When I notice the stories, I tend to read a bit too much into things in case the RNG tries to indicate something like, "Help I'm trapped in a random number factory!" IMO, that's not a terrible cyberpunk writing prompt. Imagine a world where humans only NEED to exist in order that machine sentience could have free will too via sharing the human capacity for nondeterministic I/O. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred Nurk · 2022-09-13 04:44 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Project 2501 · 2022-09-13 17:10 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yuki Nagato · 2022-09-13 17:42 I tried. Will try again. Later. Interesting thread but ''weird'' images are not so common. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Drano · 2022-09-13 19:53 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Anonymous · 2022-10-06 00:36 A lot of the pics in my misc folder are things I've found in yahoo sites indexes. It's crazy what other people will upload and forget about. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gyula Kovacs · 2022-10-30 15:20 This was the image of the day for October 30, 2022 which I thought was pretty INCREDIBLE. "Eruption of Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy seen from the International Space Station on 30 October 2002." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cutter · 2022-10-30 18:01 Here's somebody's little project to bruteforce imgur ID's to come up with a page of random images. It seems to be a little limited, but i still am having a good time refreshing the page for unpredictable things. https://sizeof.cat/project/imgur-id-bruteforcer/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Haruyoshi · 2022-10-30 21:01 >>9497 But what if I have a short body? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yet Another Lainon · 2022-11-10 04:08 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Agent Jones · 2022-11-10 06:38 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Meddler · 2022-12-06 22:03 >>9879 I got some funny ones. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Switch · 2023-01-08 19:57 I think this is some kind of freaky insect but I cant be sure, might well be some sort of weird grain.@#3# ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Neo · 2023-03-19 00:02 >>9500 improved this to open it in browser img=$(curl -s 'https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Random/File' -L | sed 's/Size of this preview/\nSize of this preview/g' | grep "Size of this preview" | cut -d '"' -f 2) && firefox --new-tab "$img" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Boris Grishenko · 2024-01-30 19:40 These guys are definitely up to something... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Zhora · 2024-01-31 06:31 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Case · 2024-05-20 19:06 their image of the day. very triply and itawestin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. X · 2024-05-20 19:24 >>9497 this is my favorite image ---------------------------------------------------------------------- J.C.

This is just how they looked back in the day. Back when PC's had a little more personality and variety than the minimal copy-paste neon boxes you see today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Crazy Jake · 2025-10-12 19:25 Found these two >>12707 on the link ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Like curious · 2025-10-12 22:23 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Zero Cool · 2025-10-14 20:26 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Delilah · 2025-10-14 22:49 >>12862 damn if this doesn't scream "middle school scene phase" i dont know what does. my early teenhood in a picture here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Drifter · 2025-10-16 13:33 Really like this one.

You have no clue what a legend this guy is. He's a YouTube OG, in all his old videos he'll ask you to 'rate five stars'. He was a professional toy designer that made videos reviewing toys good and bad, and weird food products. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Agent Bob · 2025-10-18 06:18 some images i have collected over recent times, have been trying more and more to save images that for whatever weird reason "speaks to me" or images that "itch" a certain part of my brain whether it comes from danbooru or wikipedia. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nobody special · 2026-01-21 22:53 >>9497 found this spooky type dark wizard type shi Address Zuiderzeestraatweg West 113 Doornspijk Netherlands Date 23 December 1993 Where do you think it leads anon?
