These are all real WikiHow articles. Vote up the ones that are so bizarre you can't believe they exist.

One of the many sad truths of existence is that everyone can’t be an expert at everything, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t learn about as many things as possible. wikiHow is a great way to learn how to do something new, but the dumb wikiHow articles collected on this list have helped no one learn how to do anything. (Unless someone actually snuck their cat into work, that article’s actually pretty detailed.) Take a look at these wikiHow articles that you won’t believe really exist.

It doesn't matter who wrote these weird wikiHow pages, they’re amazing in the same way that a car crash, or taquitos from 7-11 are amazing. A lot of these articles are for things that you don’t need someone to tell you how to do, like tying your shoes or making ice. But some of the entries on this list of funny wikiHow articles are 100% bonkers. If you’re looking up how to pretend to be possessed or how to appreciate death metal, you might need more than a wikiHow page to help you in your quest. For starters, you maybe a therapist, or even just a friend. Keep reading to check out some of the weirdest wikiHow articles that you need to put in your life right now.

The only pertinent information in this ridiculous/amazing how-to is "Act sympathetic to people's problems. Remember, after living for 1,000 years you have experienced every problem on Earth!" That's just good advice.

The fact that this wikiHow page doesn't just say "With your ears!" is a shamefully missed opportunity.

How to Walk

Oh boy, if you're consulting the Internet on how to walk then you have to turn in your license to be an adult, go back to your mom's house, and start over as a baby. Those are the rules.

The thing about modern phones is that they're so easy to use even children have them. If you have to ask how to charge a phone, you don't deserve to own one.

How to Know If You Are Drunk
Photo: wikiHow
Look, if you've been drunk then you know how to tell if you're drunk. Unless you get to that point where you're so drunk that you think you're just being awesome. Unfortunately then you won't be able to see straight, so trying to read anything on any website will be pointless.

How to Decide What to Podcast About

There are already way too many podcasts. If you're not sure what to podcast about it means that you shouldn't be podcasting. Why not just go yell at a lake?
