social media

This quick and entertaining and temporarily extremely confusing Tumblr post showcases the potential implications of younger generations not being able to communicate clearly, because they spend all their time online. We can't tell if they were intentionally spewing nonsense with that one paragraph, or genuinely being the very thing they were condemning. Hard to tell. 

Remember being an emo tween/teenager? Unfortunately, we do too. Listening to sad songs on repeat. Thinking we our first school relationships were "forever." Posting attention-seeking messages to social media, hoping someone notice all the pain. While the depression was often very real, there's a painfully cringey- and amusing - aspect to people who wear their hearts on their sleeve on the internet. Don't believe us? Scroll down and brace yourself for some serious discomfort.

We love our collections of overheards here. Overheards are a great expression of all the crazy kinds of seemingly nonsensical things that we can overhear while out walking around this wild world. Sometimes, you can hear something and instantaneously recognize that no amount of context is going to provide clarity to that conversation. Peoples say some weird stuff. In this case, we have a quick and hilarious collection of things a wife's medical student husband was caught saying. 

The idiots are RAGING in this post filled with facepalm. That or it is all intentional stupidity, which still warrants a nice round of facepalms. 

It's hard to define what exactly makes something cringe. It's really a vibe. It's the embarrassing images and comments people post on the internet without irony that inspire others to log off. It's something that makes you feel ashamed just for having witnessed its awkwardness. So why do we subject ourselves to this pain? Well, because it's funny. If you're in a masochistic mood, we've got a whole bunch of cringe content for you to wince through. To be fair, a few of these specimens from r/cringepics and r/cringetopia are cringe in a self-aware way, which is actually kinda based. 

The math wizards went WILD on this one. Can you blame 'em. 

Social media can be a good thing. Sites like Facebook and Instagram allow people to keep in touch with family and friends - a luxury that people are learning is incredibly important as the world copes with the Covid-19 pandemic. But there's a darker (and untintentionally hilarious) side to being able to share images with your followers. We're talking about the fact that people can hit the "share" button and share convoluted memes and posts that they seem to think are ultra deep. You know, "We live in a society" type sentiments. They often have to do with some very teenage feelings about loneliness and dating, and, even worse, the negative effects of the same technology they're using to share their "deep thoughts." The r/im14andthisisdeep subreddit is an impressive archive of these kinds of posts, a veritable hub of cringey thoughts that, frankly, we can't help but eat up. We've put together some of their latest and greatest offerings, but you can enjoy some more of this content here if you end up craving more.

Twitter is one of the best places to find thoughtful and hilarious little quips about anything and everything. Some tweet about what's going on in the world while others share random shower thoughts or funny anecdotes that have no relevance to anything in particular. We're here for all of it as long as we're laughing! We're still giggling over the zingers in this hearty batch of Twitter gold.

Replies this clever are pretty hard to come by; you've kinda just just gotta be in the right place at the right time, and brands like Wendy's - the absolute champions of the roast - know this all too well. Some of these people seriously deserve an award for their witty replies!

Oh boy, we're back at it again with a fresh collection of clever comebacks and people being destroyed by words. As long as we have social media we'll have people rapping off senseless tweets and statuses that just as well never should've been shared with the rest of the online world in the first place. If you enjoyed these clever comebacks check out more radical retorts from clever wordsmiths over here.

If you think that you're out there taking your dental hygiene seriously, you are very wrong. One quick look at this ridiculous Twitter thread about how Croatians handle their toothpaste will enlighten you. It's absolute madness. 

One of our favorite pastimes is admiring the cringe explosion that is old people using social media. Twitter user @dogwithablog_69 has made all of this a lot easier with this Twitter thread of the elderly and technologically ignorant completely abusing Facebook's cheerful status banners. The collection is impressive, a very worthwhile way of getting your Monday procrasturbation on. 

We love us some clever comebacks from the online world's spicy silver tongues. As long as there's a comments section or people insist on clogging up social media feeds with mindless tweets and statuses that could've used a second set of eyes, and a dash of logic, we'll have other folks waiting eagerly nearby, ready to light them up in the comments section. We've also got that gem from the legend, Stephen Hawking. Check out some more confidence-shattering comebacks and insults over here.

I'll be the first to say that I'm as weary as the rest of you when it comes to the latest assemblage of funny, strange, cringe-packed modern (so...Tinder) dating moments. More often than not, we're left scratching our heads, legitamately discouraged or confused with the current state of dating affairs as a millennial. Are we devolving when it comes to dating, or are these convos and wildly creative profiles natural symptoms of progress? Probably a bit of both.

If you guys ever encounter any remarkably twisted Tinderers (we'll pretend that's a word for the meanwhile), and you're down to share your convo/profile please submit 'dem screenshots over here! We're always game to credit and feature community submissions.
