On a recent AskReddit thread, user EvilDeathCuddles asked a very poignant question.

1. "What is something creepy that society accepts as the norm?"

This was the question asked by /u/EvilDeathCuddles of the /r/askreddit community. The responses did not disappoint. Some are humorous, many are sincere, and most will really make you question the world we're living in, if you're not already. Below, you'll find some of the best responses.

1. Modern parents and how their need for attention trumps their need to protect their children.

Seriously, that's on the internet forever now. Don't be surprised if your kids resent you when they get a little older.

2. You can't hide. Not even from a frivolous game.

It's turning into 1984 out there, and iPhone gaming is Big Brother.

It's really not cool.

3. This. They're everywhere.

I almost fell into one of these, then I was like, "wait, I think this is a pyramid scheme." I walked away last minute, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

4. I don't get it either. This must be so awkward to do in front of your new wife's family.

Like they don't already know you two have engaged in "activities?" Okay, I guess we'll all just pretend for this super creepy ritual.

5. An entire culture of people who are basically vultures? Yeah, that's pretty weird.

Plus, this follow-up question is ON POINT. It's definitely true that–were it not for the paparazzi–a lot of people wouldn't be keeping up with their fame. Get it?

6. Yeah, I always thought it was "innocent until proven guilty."

But according to Nancy Grace, it's the other way around.

7. And there's this, which has happened to a few friends of mine.

And I don't understand how it isn't blackmail.

8. This might win. I can't think of many things creepier.

9. This is a long one, but it's worth the read.

And totally relevant to everything in the political news, but it rarely gets talked about.

10. Even the way we handle death is pretty strange.

11. This is what you're really asking when you ask if someone wants to have kids.

12. This is a controversial one, but give it some good, honest thought. What is the function, really?

There's a lot of weird stuff going on all around us.
