"Sometimes people witness the straaaaaangest things, and the Reddit thread r/Weird is proof. So, after much perusing, we found 19 of the wildest images that made us so uneasy, we couldn't help but share them with you. Sorry:"
"This phenomenon is called PPM, or persistent pupil membrane. It happens in kittens when the fetal membrane stays intact while the eyes are being formed, so the embryonic tissue lingers in the iris."
People sometimes encounter bizarre and unsettling visuals shared online. Reddit r/Weird showcased 19 strikingly odd images that provoked discomfort and fascination. The images vary in content but share an uncanny or disturbing quality that captures attention. One medically explainable example is persistent pupillary membrane (PPM) observed in kittens. PPM results when the fetal membrane remains intact during ocular development, leaving embryonic tissue fragments attached to or spanning the iris. These remnants alter pupil appearance and can present as filaments, sheets, or opaque tissue across the eye. PPM represents a congenital developmental residue rather than a contagious or traumatic condition.
