Hmm is imagery that is bizarre, strange, unusual, and makes you question how or why it exists. Hmms make you do a double take. Hmms often look like something they are not or will have a very odd context, and the best ones are often a bit surreal.

Hmm is not things that are simply funny, coincidental, unexpected, or make some point. Hmms are not just wtf or silly.

Nothing explicit

No porn, gore, explicit shots, gross-out images, or jump-scare/screamy videos

Fits elsewhere

No memes, political statements, comics, or other sort of images/videos that you simply find funny or amusing

No coincidence

Screenshots of Reddit posts or any other website that happen to coincide in a humorous way go to r/juxtaposition, not here

No text-based posts

No text-based posts. The purpose of this sub is confounding imagery, not confounding statements. If someone doesn't get hmm from your post without being able to speak the language in it, it probably doesn't belong here.

Be civil

No harassment or hate speech and follow the reddit Terms of Service. Here is a link to the reddit Terms of Service.

No abuse of minors

All forms of abuse of minors (e.g. sexualisation, neglect, physical or emotional abuse, including, for example, videos of things like physical school fights) are prohibited.
