These gifts, and some of the stories behind them, do not fall into this category. From dead birds to bags of hair, these anecdotes from Redditors are guaranteed to make you appreciate those socks your mom insists on giving you every year.

Thanksgiving can be really great - you've got all of that delicious food and all of your family all in one place. However, sometimes the family situation can be a little much; you love 'em but they all love to bring up the fact that you're almost 30 and still not married, or that one embarrassing thing you did when you were four years old. And the icing on the cake? That inevitable family fight that always happens at the end of the evening. It can all be too much sometimes!
If you need to just get away from it all, then we gotchu.
And what are we thankful for this year? All of you, of course!
Can you guys believe Thanksgiving is already here? We certainly can't. It seems like the Fourth of July was just yesterday. Anyway, please enjoy these Thanksgiving memes while you eat a slice of pumpkin pie away from your annoying aunts and uncles who won't stop asking what you're planning to do after graduation. Seriously, that sh*t's annoying.
Twitter user Maya Kosoff asked her followers to share the strangest family Thanksgiving recipes they were forced to consume growing up.
Spoiler: most of them are just downright disgusting. That is, unless you like jello, cool whip, seafood, and mayo all in one dish - in which case, please get back in your time machine and go back to the 1950s immediately because we don't eat that sh*t in 2019 anymore. Barf.
Thanksgiving is almost here and you know what that means - delicious food, family, and alcohol to help you survive said family. And if it all seems like too much, just remember that it's only one day and they'll all be gone soon enough. And did we mention alcohol? If you're of age, of course.
We're not sure if kidsare nuts because of their imaginations or if they're just regular people without a seasoned moral compass. Either way, this Twitter thread from @lukasbattleleaves us feeling like our families are very, very normal. From tales of sleepwalking sisters wielding knives, to locking tying a little brother in the basement, these stories are sure to make you laugh - and may very well creep you out.
The love of grandparents is a very special type of unconditional. Many times they won't even flinch at something your parents would absolutely freak about. If you're lucky, they would slip you money or feed you dessert for dinner. Even if your grandparents are spoiling you from the afterlife, these posts are sure to bring you back to a simpler time when you were "looking a little skinny" or needed "just one more helping."
Nebraskan Travis F. made some social media waves earlier this month after allegedly marrying his own daughter. Travis, who was recently released from a forgery-related jail sentence, posted a celebratory marriage announcement on Facebook. There was just one problem - the woman he had married is a woman he had raised since she was a child.
Facebook lurkers exploded with horror and many profanities, even investigating the couple and sharing photos that support the argument that Samantha is, in fact, Travis' daughter. Samantha has since changed her last name on the site, but we've found comments from just a few months ago where she refers to him as "dad." There's a lot to process here, and if you want to indulge in some more comment schadenfreude, you can visit his page to read some of the loco comments.
Let's be real: scrolling through funny memes is a pretty pointless activity. But pointless things can be fun. So we put together this batch of relatable memes and stupid shitposts to help satisfy your need for the meaningless. You're welcome.
Siblings: You'd sell a kidney for 'em but you also want to punch them when they steal your sh*t and won't leave you alone for five minutes. They can be annoying as absolute hell, but you also wouldn't trade the experience for anything!
Anyone who has siblings will relate strongly to the following familiar (and familial) tidbits!
Between the dark circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death and the general state of the world, it's safe to say that most of us could use a little lightness in our lives. We put these happy memes, tweets, and pictures together to help you get just that.
