10 Weird Blogs That Could Only Be Found on Tumblr

Tumblr is a great place for people to post, share and appreciate great art. For others, it’s also a great place to ridicule art. Having said that, the art posted on this particular Ugly Renaissance Babies Tumblr blog kind of deserves the judgemental attention it’s been able to attract. After taking one look at these classic paintings from history, it’s hard not to stop and wonder what exactly the painter was seriously thinking at the time.

Step aside, LOLcats, there’s a new Internet cat trend and it’s got weird written all over it. It seems that a creative cat owner decided it would be worthwhile to cut a hole out of a slice of bread, stick it in their cat’s face and take a picture. Of course, now everybody’s doing it. You can do the same and submit your own breaded cat photo to be featured on the blog.

Update: Well, it looks like the BreadedCats.com domain that once pointed to the Tumblr blog has been turned into a viral animal photo site. You can still see Tumblr users happily posting their own breaded cats photos by taking a look at the #breadedcats tag.

For every lazy student that never really aced biology, chemistry or physics in high school--this Tumblr blog is for you. Whoever runs this blog needs to be given some serious credit for putting together these vintage-style graphics and bizarrely hilarious explanations from science, "for when the facts are too confusing."

This Tumblr blog practically blew up overnight, and although it hasn't been active lately, it's still worth going through the archives. The story goes like this: someone set up a Tumblr blog so he could post all the ridiculous iPhone text conversations he had with his cousin Bennett, a rebellious kid with a pretty obvious hatred for autocorrect and a priceless personality. Within a couple of weeks or so, they were selling t-shirts and the blog was trending on some of the biggest sites that cover viral trends. If that's not surprising enough, they even have a free iPhone app you can download.

Owls aren’t often considered to be the cutest or funniest looking in the animal kingdom, but when you snap a photo of one in mid-blinking mode, you get some pretty hilarious results. Some of these owls look like they’re winking at you, others just look plain intoxicated. If you’re an animal lover and want a good laugh, be sure to check out this popular Tumblr blog.

This may or may not have been inspired by the extremely popular Awkward Family Photos site. Who knew there were so many strange stock photos out there? And they actually cost money to use! It makes you wonder what kind of companies might buy them and what markets or clients the photographers were trying to reach. Yikes.

Put three totally unrelated things together and what do you get? A popular Tumblr blog, of course. This blog has some interesting art that always features some kind of waterfall scenery, actor Tom Selleck and a sandwich all nicely Photoshopped in there somehow. It makes no sense whatsoever, but people love it.

Update: All the posts on this glorious blog seem to have been deleted, and now nothing but a single post with a track for "the official Selleck Waterfall Sandwich theme song" remains. At least you can still find a few good old images in the #selleckwaterfallsandwich tag.

Tumblr has its fair share of blogs run by hipsters, but who knew there were actual people (Asian people in particular for this blog) who dress like hipsters and act completely oblivious about it when they go out in public? Nobody actually realizes that these things exist, and maybe that’s why this blog is so awesome to look at.

Apparently, there’s an audience that enjoys browsing through a series of riveting photos of Cheetos that get lost on the floor, on the street or wherever. This blog shows nothing but pictures of lost, lonely Cheetos. If you find a lost Cheeto near you (or strategically place a single one on the floor), you can take a photo of it and submit it to the Lonely Cheeto Tumblr blog. Why? Who knows.
