The 24 Strangest, Most Insanely Beautiful Images on WikiHow

My favorite part of WikiHow, the successful crowdsourced site devoted to How To articles, is the incredibly strange, ill-advised original art. WikiHow’s articles are accompanied by computer-animated illustrations created specifically for the site and, while the art could be objectively described as absurd or just downright awful, it also has an oddly evocative beauty. The images are rendered in a painfully unskilled, humble style, the internet’s aesthetic representation of everything wiki.

Here are 24 of the strangest, most confusing, most completely and utterly inexplicable images on WikiHow. I included the title of each corresponding article, but I’ve also suggested alternative titles that are perhaps even more fitting.

What the Article Should be Titled: How to Care for a Monkey with Early Onset Nicolas Cage Syndrome

What the Article is Actually Titled: How to Prevent or Survive a Monkey Attack

Suggested Article: How to Whoop Whoop, Ya Stupid Bitch
