why

In the post-Mythbusters era, it can seem like there's an answer for everything these days. Every weird and wonderful occurrence now has a rational reason behind it — or at the very least can be explained with a deranged conspiracy theory. However, this does not always have to be the case. Sometimes, we come across images that are both strange and completely lacking in context, leaving us to wonder what brought them into existence. Questionable Images collects the very best of these types of photos, like the ones below.

Foodservice can be a taxing industry to work in. The fast-paced environment, formidable Karens and all-round frequent crises mean the average shift doesn't leave much room to breathe. If anything, that is all the more reason for fast food workers to find the entertainment value where they can. 

This is the philosophy behind @etherealloverboy's videos. An anonymous Chick-Fil-A employee, their account is dedicated to showing off the many strange and occasionally baffling orders that their branch receives. Examples range from customers asking for items that the chain doesn't even produce to combinations that don't seem to make any sense (kudos to the person eating mac and cheese with a straw). It's not all weird customer requests, either. The occasional order or motivational message from other crew members also slips through. 

Overall, the insight these videos provide offer a revealing, entertaining portrait of what it's like to deal with the hangry general public every day. It does leave us with some questions, though, like how do they manage to deal with them all?

Few internet phenomena have developed at the alarming rate of men's thirst traps. Gone are the days when a partially clad mirror selfie would satisfy attention seekers; it's now a whole process involving ring lights, mood music and worst of all, meticulously planned video.

The time when half the population seemed hellbent on perfecting a Lin-Manuel Miranda lip bite was bad enough. Yet somehow, we appear to be in a horrible new era of embarrassing, romantically inclined content creation. Twitter users seized on an example of this over the weekend after discovering the work of TikToker @spencermumford.

In particular, one video attracted all the wrong kind of attention. In it, Mumford lipsyncs and winks at the camera while proclaiming that he is attracted to the "Big Hearts" of women in a long list of ethnicities. To apparently prove his point, he announces that he "love[s] rhythm" with some alarmingly offbeat dancing and seemingly out of nowhere, professes his love for the soundtrack provided by Nigerian musician Burna Boy.

Despite his attempt to charm, Twitter was less than convinced by his confused and slightly terrifying efforts. If there's one takeaway from this trainwreck, it's that nobody becomes a heartthrob by being tryhard.
