cringe

There's a whole lot of trash in the news lately, from anti mask super-spreaders who want the pandemic to last forever for some reason, to shirtless hooligans who worship Qanon running around the Capitol. That's why we were inspired to make this gallery of cringey posts and pics that feature the trashiest of the trashy. 

If you're ever bored and would like to witness astounding levels of both insanity and stupidity, your best bet would be to go take a scroll through the r/insanepeoplefacebook subreddit. It's the exact opposite of boring. In fact, we'd say it's a veritable treasure trove of stupidity from anti-vaxxers, Karens, and all-around crazies that almost make for sadistic reading. While we are saddened to learn of these high levels of idiocy, knowledge is definitely power. And kind of entertaining. We've put together some of the latest and greatest (hard to find 'em through the scads of political posts) but you can catch more at the popular subreddit.

This gallery's for the cunning linguists who cringe when they see an improper their, there or they're. These language fails may not be worthy of execution, but they're definitely worthy of our scrutiny, laughter, and maybe even an eyeroll or two. Nobody's perfect, but people should try harder when they're putting themselves out there on a public platform. Laugh away. 

While we realize that not everyone qualifies for Mensa, these posts shout out people who have somehow managed to take stupid to the next level. And we have to admit we're completely here for it. There's something extremely satisfying about witnessing someone exhibit a lack of intelligence that rivals your own. It's a sick ego boost, but we'll take doses of elevated self-image when and where we can get them. We just hope these poor souls invest some of their time into exercising their brains and familiarizing themselves with common sense. They clearly need all the help they can get. 

It's no secret that any given social network can quickly become toxic, because wherever there are human beings, there are idiots with unfathomable blind confidence in the bullsh*t they spout. r/insanepeoplefacebook is a pretty cursed subreddit where you can find and endless supply of flat-earthers, anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, and bigots caught in the wild posting their nonsense and commenting when no one asked. If you're in a mood to feel worse about humanity, we've got a bunch of cringey posts for you from the worst of social media.

We've all come across one in the wild at some point. That acquaintance from high school you haven't spoken to in literally nine years who slides into your DMs for one nefarious purpose...to convince you to buy into a non-salaried workforce by peddling bullshit no one wants to buy, all under the guise of 'entrepreneurship.' Yes, we're talking about multi-level marketing schemes and scammers, baby! The truly sad thing about MLM is that the grifter is oftentimes just a victim of grifting themselves, caught in an endless cycle of preying on the down and out. We're all just trying to get through our own personal hells, so it's pretty infuriating to see these big pyramid selling companies succeed at exploiting us even more. 

If you're as fed up as us with all this wicked MLM nonsense, you'll surely get a kick out of these posts and memes that share your sentiment. 

Until recently, we didn't think eating was that hard. If you weren't raised by wolves, chances are you can employ cutlery with ease, and know the proper way to eat a burrito or a slice of pizza. It's not rocket science. But somehow, there are people who are alive and exist who make a terrible mockery of the conventions of consumption. It's time for us to raise awareness and take a stand against these absolute monsters. 

There's such a thing as blissful ignorance, but we're pretty sure these people aren't it. We do feel sort of bad for them, but at the same time, they provide us with a lot of entertainment, and they kind of make us feel better about our own intellect...

Ever hear a boomer talk about how they bought a house straight out of college? Of course you have! Our parents and grandparents seem to have had it much easier than we do. We're loathe to trigger anyone with these "tired millennial complaints", but the harsh reality is that many of us younger folk are forced to live with multiple roommates, which means we have to deal with an awful lot of in-home politics, and sometimes - horror stories. These tales from the roommate crypt are reminders of why we need to save money and GTFO of these living situations for good.

The internet is full of overzealous posters who have absolutely no filter when it comes to sharing crude details about their personal lives with the world wide web. And when it comes to sex, many embellish the truth or obviously lie about their sex lives to seem badass to total strangers who couldn't care less. Many examples of these instances of unwarranted oversharing are well documented over at r/ihavesex. We've gathered some prime, wince-worthy screenshots from the subreddit if you're in the mood to cringe.

Some people just don't understand how the world works. In this story, a spoiled brat tries to blackmail a carpenter into making a near-impossible exception for him based on who his father is. Fortunately for our hero, things don't work out as planned.

We thought there was nothing quite as laughable as an teenager on Instagram complaining about their myriad trials and tribulations, but man, some of these cringe-filled pictures are starting to change our mind.. This pseudo-deep shit that people are putting out there is completely bonkers. And of course, we love it. 

We're willing to bet that you all have those Facebook or Instagram friends that make you wonder how they're still allowed on the sites. Their posts might make you cringe or curse humanity, but you keep 'em around because they're entertaining. Here's a batch of those kinda posts without the guilt you feel from actually knowing the posters.

Residents of Florida really make it easy to make fun of the sunny southern state. We mean no disrespect, but these Florida Man headlines and dragging memes are endlessly entertaining. Florida is kind of like that little brother that you love but can't help but poke fun at. If you like these memes and headlines, there's more where that came from.

If you're bored of relatable memes and fluffy wholesomeness, this cringe-packed wince-inducing batch of memes will be seriously refreshing. Instead of thinking about how wonderfully alike we all are, why don't we focus on the people who are f*cked up and all the terrible things that exist on the internet and IRL.
