When Craig Newmark started Craigslist back in 1995, it was intended to be an Internet version of a community message board, where people can post classified ads and personals, for free.
And yes, Craigslist is still your go-to if you want a used dresser. But it’s also a great place to see all the strangeness that humanity has to offer. Because just like everything else on the Internet, when you open a website up to the general public and give them anonymity, well, things get weird.
Here are 15 Craigslist posts that will make you mad at Al Gore for inventing the Internet.
