It\u2019s used to respond to a photo, post, or story that makes the viewer uncomfortable because of its unnatural or unattractive nature. Often, TIHI images are heavily photoshopped to have strange, unpleasant details that will trigger a response. They can also be tweets or comments posted online.<\/p>\n<p>TIHI can be used in both the titles of posts and in the comments under them. When used as a post title, it\u2019s also used as a disclaimer warning that the photo may make you feel uncomfortable. In specific uses, TIHI is synonymous with another internet slang term, \u201ccursed,\u201d which refers to images or pieces of text that you may prefer not to have seen at all.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Origins_of_TIHI\"><\/span>The Origins of TIHI<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-722024 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/disgusted-person.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"A woman with a disgusted facial expression.\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/portrait-disgusted-woman-hispanic-girl-showing-1098542909\" data-credittext=\"Diego Cervo\/Shutterstock.com\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/portrait-disgusted-woman-hispanic-girl-showing-1098542909\">Diego Cervo\/Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Compared to other internet acronyms we\u2019ve covered, TIHI and its phrase are relatively new. But rather than having been created in internet chatrooms like other slang terms, it originated from the growing meme culture of the last few years.<\/p>\n<p>While there is no confirmed source that can pinpoint exactly where \u201cThanks, I Hate It\u201d came from, it has been used sporadically on the internet for the last decade to denote that something makes you uncomfortable. It became a more popular term around 2017 and 2018 when it entered the internet slang repository <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=thanks%2C%20i%20hate%20it\">Urban Dictionary<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It was shortened when the Reddit community <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/TIHI\/\">r\/TIHI<\/a> was founded in late 2018. The following year, the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=r%2FTIHI\">Urban Dictionary<\/a> entry for the acronym version popped up online, stating that it\u2019s the website\u2019s \u201c7th most cursed subreddit.\u201d This is similar to other acronyms that have risen to prominence because of their respective subreddits, such as ELI5 and TIL.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, it\u2019s become quite common in places outside of the subreddit. TIHI is a frequently used acronym on social media sites like Twitter and TikTok, and is often used in personal conversations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What Does &#8220;TIL&#8221; Mean, and How Do You Use It?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TIHI_on_Reddit\"><\/span>TIHI on Reddit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As previously mentioned, the main place to find content related to TIHI is on the subreddit, which has over a million followers.\u00a0It has since become the single biggest community for posting TIHI-related images, with some of the most popular posts on the forum gaining tens of thousands of upvotes and comments.<\/p>\n<p>All the posts on the subreddit follow a particular format. Titles must start with \u201cThanks, I Hate,\u201d followed by the thing depicted in the photo or story below. For example, if the image shows a cheeseburger, the title should be \u201cThanks, I Hate Cheeseburgers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most of the posts on the subreddit are a mix of funny and strangely uncomfortable content. For example, one of the top posts in the community, with over 63 thousand upvotes and more than 500 comments, is this legendary image of a \u201cSmooth Yoda\u201d posted by user <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/AnUdderDay\">u\/AnUdderDay<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-721665 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Smooth-Yoda-1.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Yoda Star Wars\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/TIHI\/comments\/mggx2f\/thanks_i_hate_smooth_yoda\/\" data-credittext=\"u\/AnUdderDay \/ r\/TIHI on Reddit\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/TIHI\/comments\/mggx2f\/thanks_i_hate_smooth_yoda\/\">u\/AnUdderDay \/ r\/TIHI on Reddit<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even if you\u2019re not familiar with the concept of TIHI, the image above immediately looks strange and unnatural.

While one might be saying \u201cThanks,\u201d they\u2019re also stating that they don\u2019t like what they just saw or heard. This is especially obvious when the phrase is typed out or spoken aloud.<\/p>\n<p>There are certain circumstances in which TIHI is used outside of the context of \u201ccursed\u201d images or posts.
