Spread the love

The internet is full of content that can make you feel all sorts of ways. An adorable photo of a kitten might instantly melt your heart, while a bizarre image of baked beans in a cowboy boot might leave you utterly perplexed. But have you ever encountered content that you found both wholesome and unsettling?

Bored Panda has compiled a list down below of photos that are simultaneously cursed and blessed. These pictures might make you say “awww” while you wonder what the heck is happening in them. But whether you love the images or not, there’s no denying that they’re entertaining! Enjoy scrolling through these silly photos, and be sure to upvote the ones that leave you feeling conflicted.

You’ve heard of blessed images. And you’ve heard of cursed images. But have you heard of blursed images? These are those photos that somehow manage to give you the joy of a blessed photo alongside the confusion of a cursed image. And while people can’t get enough of either side of the coin, it turns out that we love images that fall right in the middle too! They’re unbeatable, like the combination of salty pretzels dipped in sweet chocolate.

When it comes to why people love cursed images so much, Anasaea notes on their site that we can’t look away from them because our brains register that there’s just something off about them. They usually include elements that are perfectly normal, as well as something that’s absurd. They’re just a little too uncanny.

Now, some cursed images are just downright repulsive. They might leave viewers squealing and running in terror. But other cursed images might have an element of nostalgia involved. They may be images that were taken decades ago or include elements that we don’t often see anymore nowadays.

But these nostalgic images might just make for great blursed photos too, since we tend to enjoy looking back on the past and indulging in nostalgia. Most people’s childhoods were messy and chaotic, yet still filled with fun moments they’ll never forget. Thinking about those memories can bring a flood of mixed emotions, just like these photos that might melt your heart and leave you scratching your head.

It’s no secret why people love blessed images, as we could all use some more sunshine and smiles in our lives nowadays. Nearly a third of adults in the United States admit that they’re guilty of doomscrolling, and with the 24-hour news cycles we have, it’s hard to ever find a moment for peace and quiet. So if you can manage to carve out some time to look at adorable photos of puppies or silly pics of pandas, you might be reminded that there actually is still some good in the world!

Finding positive and uplifting content takes a bit more effort today than it ever has before. But there are still plenty of wholesome photos and stories out there! In fact, Greater Good Magazine found that positive content tends to go viral because we’re all craving more goodness in our lives. According to research, videos that elicit strong emotional reactions in viewers, such as joy and awe, are more likely to be shared than videos that we feel indifferent about.

If you’re interested in seeking out more positive content online, you’re in luck. Because there are plenty of places to look! Happiful recommends starting with animal videos, animal memes and posts detailing random acts of kindness. According to a survey from Sky Mobile, these are some of the most popular sources of sunshine on social media. But light-hearted “when things go wrong” videos are also usually big hits, alongside travel or holiday photos and clips from classic childhood TV shows.

And nearly a fifth of participants said that they’ll even share these uplifting posts with friends and family members, which can be a great way to stay connected and strengthen relationships. Who doesn’t want to smile with their loved ones?

#88 Current Situation At My Parents House

The young neighborhood owl has stolen this stick horse and is flying around the neighborhood with it. Hilldale/Forest Park/Ridge lane neighbors…if your child is missing their stick horse, you’ll have to talk to the owl! for those of you questioning if the owl is hurt or “entangled” in the stick horse….we have no reason to believe this is the case as we witnessed the owl moving the horse around and even changing it’s grip on it at one point….this owl is part of a family of owls that have been in the neighborhood for about 6 months now, and this is one of the young owls…if someone sees that the owl is in danger or believes it is hurt, I’m sure the proper authorities would be contacted.
