During the early days of the internet, crowdfunding really burst onto the scene. It has captured the universal human desire to help others in need and to pool funds together for a greater purpose. Whether it be GoFundMe, IndieGoGo, or Kickstarter, crowdfunding requests have helped raise important sums of money for people who otherwise would not be able to afford things such as life-saving surgeries and the opportunity to see a dying relative.
But, that's not all that people try to crowdfund on these sites; a hefty amount of campaigns are for absolutely ridiculous and ludicrous crowdfunding requests. And we're not talking about simple ridiculous things; we're talking the most absolutely wild requests. Have you heard of the woman who tried crowdfunding a breast implant surgery? How about the student who wanted to raise ten bucks so he could get some McDonald's Chicken McNuggets? Or maybe you've heard of the fundraiser to get Kanye West out of millions of dollars of debt? In this list, we've brought out some of the silliest, wackiest, and overall strangest and most bizarre things people have tried to raise money for by crowdfunding. Check them out here in our list of the 25 Crowdfunding Requests That Are Remarkably Ridiculous.

The plot of the movie "The Martian" had Matt Damon left on Mars, abandoned to be dead. After overhearing the news, one fan wanted to make sure we could get the silver screen superstar back to Earth safely.
Kate Funk, Brennan Groh, and a black cat named AC have been making "The World's Most Super Amazing 100% Awesome Cat Calendar" for years. To get the calendar finished in time and to build the elaborate sets, they took to crowdfunding $3,500. They ended up raising over $25,000 and made hundreds of people happy with their very own super amazing cat calendar in return.
Skip that morning coffee! With the caffeinated Power Energy Toothpaste, you'll receive a "rush while you brush" first thing in the morning.
This girl wants help to cure her "insecurities" and "feel alive again" by crowdfunding a breast enlargement.
One major Tim Tebow fan wanted to buy an NFL team to make the former Florida Gator its starting quarterback.
Fred Beneson decided he wanted to translate the entirety of the novel "Moby Dick" into an emoji book. He succeeded in his ridiculous Kickstarter request and was able to "confront a lot of our shared anxieties about the future of human expression by forcing a great work of literature through such a strange new filter."
Aiming to "get real people and small businesses engaged in politics," FCTRY created a Kickstarter to design and distribute a Bernie Sanders "Join-The-Action Figure." (They've even made a Hillary Clinton figure in the past.)
This Kanye West fan created a fundraiser after hearing the singer was $53 million in debt. The trouble was that Kanye didn't want the money. In the end, the fan donated it to fund arts in schools.
After lying to a black metal record producer about having a black metal bassoon duet, Liam Perry & Jamie Johnson took to Kickstarter to raise the funds to turn their lie into a reality.
Noboru Bitoy was a design student with a dream: to eat a delicious $8 Chipotle burrito. He decided to take his ridiculous crowdfunding request to Kickstarter where he asked for the money in exchange for "graph(ing) its deliciousness." In the end, Bitoy raised so much money he was able to eat a Chipotle burrito while skydiving from 13,000 feet. He made good on his promise and graphed the resulting deliciousness.
