80 Weirdly Specific WikiHow Images Nobody Asked For But Everyone Needs To See

Wait 5 sec.

If you’ve been on the internet for a while, you might know about the glorious subreddit r/disneyvacation. That’s where people take random WikiHow illustrations, strip away the original context, and give them hilarious new captions. The results are wonderfully ridiculous, which is probably why the community has become such a gem.But you might not know about its alter ego, r/notdisneyvacation. This one shares WikiHow images with their real captions and tutorials exactly as they appear. The only problem is that some of them are so wild and out of pocket, it’s genuinely hard to believe nobody made them up. We’ve rounded up some of the funniest ones below. Scroll down and enjoy.#1 How To Accept Your Crush Doesn't Like You© Photo: [deleted]#2 How To Win An Argument Online© Photo: RandomGuy87654#3 How To Contact George W. Bush© Photo: witb0tWikiHow is a how-to website that teaches people how to do practically anything. And we really do mean anything. You’ll find genuinely useful guides on things like fixing a drain right next to tutorials on how to clap, how to laugh, or even how to stomp on a Capri Sun. Whatever strange question pops into your head, there’s a good chance WikiHow has an article for it somewhere.#4 How To Play Pinball Like A Pro© Photo: alice_right_foot-esq#5 How To Stomp A Capri Sun© Photo: DeathMetalRacoon#6 How To Have A Good Job Interview© Photo: DrawcianWikiHow was created by entrepreneur Jack Herrick in 2005, who had previously worked on another how-to website called eHow. While running it, he became interested in Wikipedia and wondered whether the same collaborative model could work for practical advice. As he later explained, his idea was basically to do for how-to guides what Wikipedia had done for encyclopedias.#7 How To Use A Fork© Photo: stupidcrapface#8 How To Start A Revolution© Photo: Rascally_Raccoon#9 How To Answer Hard Questions On A Test© Photo: witb0tHerrick launched WikiHow on January 15, which happened to be Wikipedia’s fourth birthday. He used some of Wikipedia’s open-source software to build it and allowed users to write and edit guides themselves. At first, very few people noticed. Herrick told WIRED that only around 2,000 people visited during the first month, and he would personally message people who made edits to encourage them to keep contributing.#10 How To Start A Religion© Photo: ArenaAmashide#11 How To Dress For Jury Duty© Photo: Orca4444#12 How To Find Out If Your Husband Is Cheating© Photo: ScarletForge#13 How To Clap Your Hands© Photo: mrbmeSlowly, though, the website started growing. By 2009, WikiHow was receiving more than 20 million visitors each month. That number reached 100 million by 2016. One big part of its appeal was simply how much information people could find there. Instead of sticking to a few popular subjects, contributors could create a guide for almost any question someone might have.#14 How To Get Over Your Fear Of Slenderman© Photo: witb0t#15 How To Make Anime Movies© Photo: alice_right_foot-esq#16 How To Eat A Bowl Of Cereal© Photo: [deleted]That meant WikiHow could get very specific. Alongside guides for everyday tasks, you could find instructions for problems that only a tiny number of people might ever face. Herrick told WIRED that the goal was to give people a “practical education.” He pointed out that most people will probably never need to know how to control a frightened camel, but someone somewhere genuinely might.#17 How To Get Over A Bad Situation© Photo: alice_right_foot-esq#18 How To Get Rid Of Demons© Photo: [deleted]#19 How To Cope With News Of A Plane Crash© Photo: MurbaThe way articles were created also changed as the website became bigger. Volunteers could still write and edit pages, while paid editors and experts became involved too. WikiHow began having professionals check articles about subjects such as medicine and finance, where getting the information right can be especially important.#20 How To Diagnose Illness In An Emu© Photo: kiki____#21 How To Pretend You Understand Football© Photo: alice_right_foot-esq#22 How To Remove A Tattoo© Photo: verysuspiciousduckThe pictures came later. WikiHow originally used Creative Commons images from places like Flickr and Wikimedia. According to WIRED, CEO Elizabeth Douglas explained that those pictures were often too generic to properly show someone what to do. The company eventually started hiring photographers to create images specifically for its tutorials.#23 How To Survive© Photo: alice_right_foot-esq#24 How To Fake A Convincing American Accent© Photo: zeromig#25 How To Become A Physics Teacher© Photo: The-Bigger-FishThen, in 2011, WikiHow began using illustrators as well. That made it easier to show things that would be awkward or downright impossible to photograph. It’s one thing to snap a photo of someone fixing a sink. But if you want to show how to handle an uncomfortable conversation with your partner, things get a little trickier. A drawing can capture that kind of moment much more easily.#26 How To Improve Critical Thinking Skills© Photo: alice_right_foot-esq#27 How To Laugh© Photo: TrickyBeing#28 How To Win A Girl Back© Photo: photolove8All of that helped WikiHow grow from a tiny side project into a huge library. The basic idea has stayed pretty simple throughout its history: if someone wants to learn how to do something, there should be a guide that can help them. And with topics ranging from completely ordinary everyday tasks to questions most of us would never think to ask, it’s easy to see how the website ended up covering such an enormous corner of the internet.#29 How To Annoy Your Neighbor© Photo: Demenze#30 How To Join A Conversation© Photo: VXEQ92#31 How To Accept The Fact Your Partner Is Not Intelligent© Photo: [deleted]#32 How To Be Manly© Photo: EmberordofFire#33 How To Get Over A Guy Who Doesn't Like You© Photo: zeromig#34 How To Fake Pregnancy© Photo: collecteclectic#35 How To Be Wittier© Photo: gin_and_toxic#36 How To Compliment Your Date© Photo: photolove8#37 How To Get A Girlfriend When You're Autistic© Photo: CleliaStancu#38 How To React When Your Girlfriend Tells You She's Pregnant© Photo: TrickyBeing#39 How To Marry Someone In Prison© Photo: gin_and_toxic#40 How To Host A Dog Wedding© Photo: collecteclectic#41 How To Impress A French Girl© Photo: alice_right_foot-esq#42 How To Turn Down Advice From A Relative Who Is A Therapist© Photo: collecteclectic#43 How To Grow Up And Get A Life© Photo: alice_right_foot-esq#44 How To Compliment Someone You Hate© Photo: horrible-est#45 How To Ask Rich People For Money© Photo: mdnash#46 How To Plan Your Life© Photo: alice_right_foot-esq#47 How To React When Your Spouse Is Wearing Diapers© Photo: mattreyu#48 How To Become Popular If You Are A Weird Girl© Photo: witb0t#49 How To Care For An Obese Relative© Photo: alice_right_foot-esq#50 How To Stop Being A Loser© Photo: mattreyu#51 How To Spoil A Chihuahua© Photo: zeromig#52 How To Be Normal© Photo: Cer0reZ#53 How To Communicate With Body Language© Photo: alice_right_foot-esq#54 How To Live Life With No Regrets© Photo: alice_right_foot-esq#55 How To Care For Ghost Crabs© Photo: mattreyu#56 How To Learn The Philosophy Of A Genius© Photo: witb0t#57 How To Know When A Man Is Attracted To You© Photo: gin_and_toxic#58 How To Grow Facial Hair© Photo: olsmobile#59 How To Become A Teacher In Florida© Photo: Yus_Gaming#60 How To Enjoy Calculus© Photo: witb0t#61 How To Tell A Parent You Hate Them© Photo: Murba#62 How To Stop Drooling In Your Sleep© Photo: ski-daddle#63 How To Bond With Your Hedgehog© Photo: boihedead#64 How To Spot Undercover Cops© Photo: witb0t#65 How To Tell If You Are Depressed© Photo: collecteclectic#66 How To Make An Annoying Roommate Move Out© Photo: mr_kord#67 How To Reduce Forehead Wrinkles With Face Yoga© Photo: -tealeaves-#68 How To Help A Child Overcome A Fear Of Monsters© Photo: zeromig#69 How To Walk With God© Photo: zeromig#70 How To Get Started Beekeeping© Photo: witb0t#71 How To Be A Chick Magnet© Photo: witb0t#72 How To Look Like A Vampire© Photo: BirthdayBoyStabMan#73 How To Fake A Thick Russian Accent© Photo: ViviCatz#74 How To Spot Someone Who Is Faking An Illness To Get Out Of School© Photo: alice_right_foot-esq#75 How To Use The Ouija Board Safely© Photo: mattreyu#76 How To Tell If You Are Low In Magnesium© Photo: bad_taste#77 How To Deal With Religious People If You Are An Atheist© Photo: Bostonterrierpug#78 How To Survive Middle School© Photo: IAmAMusician272#79 How To Turn A Girl Friend Into A Girlfriend© Photo: Hezari#80 How To Get A Ph.d.
