If you’re a regular Bored Panda reader, you’ve probably seen a post or two that we did on the subreddit r/OddlySatisfying, a place where every perfectionist comes to remind themselves that there’s still order in this world.
But today, let’s try something else. Created back in December 2013, there’s a subreddit with a name that differs by just a few letters yet has the complete opposite content. r/OddlyUnsatisfying and its 20.3K members are devoted to crooked lines, messed up patterns, and, as their introduction section says, all the other disgusting, annoying things that make your day inexplicably worse.

So continue scrolling to check your nerves and see how far down the list you can go!

As you probably can see, whether it’s in architecture or someone’s garden, asymmetry can feel really off.
In fact, we’re so used to clean and orderly patterns that a quick scan of Instagram will reveal accounts dedicated entirely to symmetrical images.
These accounts range from Symmetry Breakfast, an Instagram account with 677,000 followers that posts images of matching breakfasts, to Geometry Club, an account with 33,000 followers that shares photos of buildings shot from the street up, two sides converging on the apex in what looks like the perfect triangle.

And this is not something new. We’ve been long bathing in these aesthetic symmetrical delights.
In the 20th Century, numerous abstract artists adopted it, from Sol LeWitt and Josef Albers in the US to Robyn Denny in the UK.
As did Aleksandr Rodchenko, some of whose photos of Moscow’s buildings after the Russian revolution wouldn’t look out of place on Geometry Club even now.

Before these folks, there were generations of Islamic artists, who thought symmetry reflected the harmony of heaven, and whose work duly aimed to bring artist and viewer closer to God.
Mosques all over the world from Mecca to Manchester all bear a nod to the tradition of geometric patterns, with one of the most famous being the stucco and tile work inside the Alhambra palace in Granada.
