gross

Twitter user Maya Kosoff asked her followers to share the strangest family Thanksgiving recipes they were forced to consume growing up. 

Spoiler: most of them are just downright disgusting. That is, unless you like jello, cool whip, seafood, and mayo all in one dish- in which case, please get back in your time machine and go back to the 1950s immediately because we don't need that sh*t anymore. Barf.

Beautiful, shallow-focus closeups of warm pie and glistening cranberry sauce are cool if you want to feel really hungry for some reason, but otherwise, scrolling through an endless Instagram feed of the same holiday dishes can get pretty damn boring. How about some content that's both festive and cursed? The antithesis of food porn, if you will. Photographer Chris Maggio is someone who truly appreciates the repulsive beauty of the cursed image. We're featuring some of the most absurd Thanksgiving images from Maggio's 'Male Chef' series, which satirizes holiday traditions. We've also included a handful of random cursed tidbits from the weird crevasses of the internet for good measure. 

Some horrendous food creations look like they were taken right out of Lucifer's Larder. They're just that disgusting. You don't even have to know what ingredients went into the abomination of a creation to know that it ain't good. Proceed at your own risk when it comes to checking out these cursed foods. 

Cooking is a skill. Not all of us are up to the challenge of being a great cook, but that doesn't mean that we should go the other way and produce abominations. Some food preparations and combinations are so uncomfortable to look at that they've earned their rightful place as cursed foods from lucifer's larder.

You think you know someone when you commit to sharing your life with them, but there are always a few surprises that get revealed along the way. One woman was horrified to discover that her husband doesn't change his underwear daily and often goes a few days before changing into a fresh pair. She posted her dilemma on Reddit, asking if she's missing something regarding male hygiene because she (rightly) finds her husband's habit somewhat disturbing. Most people reassured her that men and women share the same basic rules, including changing your underwear on a daily basis. Check out some of the responses to this poor woman's crisis.

In some cases, a closeup of just about any pot of slime is gonna look bad, but then there are those cursed foods from Lucifer's larder that are so creatively horrible that they're just hard to look at. Props on people for trying something new, but dear god some of this food was created in the underworld's kitchen.

Well, sh*t. One very shook gentleman took to Reddit after discovering that his girlfriend was wiping her butt with his gym socks. The entire situation is insane, and after she explains herself it gets even more crazy. Could you stay with your significant other if you found out they'd been using your socks to clean their bottoms? 

Are you bored of all the relatable memes and fluff going around these days? Do you like pain, but want to avoid politics? Well, we've got the gallery for you. This cursed and horrifying selection of images is anything but boring, and leaves out any mention of current events. As a bonus, some of the photos are so disturbing that they'll make you lose your appetite. We know we're probably not the only ones who still need to lose that quarantine fifteen.

We've got some seriously bad news for fish-lovers. According to a report from nonprofit Oceana, over 20% of 449 fish that they tested were mislabeled, exposing some pretty serious "fish fraud." This is a staggering percentage, especially when considering that less than 1% of fish is tested for fraud. There's a huge chance that the expensive fish you're ordering while dining out is cheap - or even, according to this related Twitter thread from a biology professor, dangerous. There are fish out there that will hurt you to eat. And, as @AwesomeBioTA's class discovered, some of this "fish" is almost too disgusting for words.

Both American and English food get a bad rep for being over-processed and bland respectively. But honestly if you're looking for noxious cursed food, you can find it just about anywhere. Here's how British and American people looked upon the phenomenon of a whole chicken in a can, as well as some other notorious canned meat products. For some more cultural clash, here's cultures colliding over how to measure time and space.

If you're anything like us, our 2020 diet and exercise resolutions went into the garbage can as the coronavirus pandemic has ravaged the world. Still having issues curbing the emotional eating more than halfway through the year? These pictures and memes might actually help you out. They're so repulsive that we wouldn't be surprised if they dissolved your appetites. At the very least, these cursed food images will horrify and amaze you with their nauseating nature. Happy scrolling!
