gross

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.

There are very few guaranteed pleasures in life, but one of them has definitely got to be food. It's one of the only survival necessities that humans have managed to really make an event. When I'm weary from work, I know that if I at least eat something tasty, my mood will improve. While some of these memes may have this delicious effect, there are a whole lot that are cursed and will leave you puzzled, grossed out, and possibly without an appetite. But they're definitely not boring.

While it cannot be denied that people don't go to sports matches for the food, this Twitter thread reveals that stadiums and arenas really need to do better in the food department. Twitter user @elliotwhu started the cringey hubbub when he posted a photo of a heinously long sausage, and asked his followers to share their own disappointing concession purchases. The responses include scarring turd-shaped mounds of meat and an impressive number of sad sausages. The thread offers up some gleeful culinary cringe, but we don't advice scrolling right before a meal. You're likely to lose your appetite. 

If you're feeling bored right now, you're definitely not alone. Even dank memes and amusing tweets can lose meaning. That's why we like to pepper our internet browsing experience with painful cringe pics. Not only will they make you feel something (mostly discomfort or disgust) but they'll make you appreciate fluffy content more than you ever have before. 

When I was a barista at a local coffee shop, I'd roll my eyes at wealthy middle-aged women who would order half-caf cappuccino at a very specific temperature. The order seemed so fussy and overly complicated. But thanks to a Twitter thread started by @INTERNETM1LF, I'm realizing it could have been much, much worse. When she shared an order she received for 30 shots of espresso with 30 pumps of white mocha (WTF) and asked if she could legally prepare it, other baristas shared similarly insane coffee orders that range from incredibly complicated to borderline dangerous. Prepare to be disturbed. 

Living with roommates is no longer reserved for broke college students and recent grads. As of 2018, nearly a third of adults in the United States were living with people that aren't their partners or a dependent/university student. We can only imagine that number has grown - especially since the start of the pandemic. While it's unfortunate that so many people cannot afford to live alone, sometimes it's nice to have someone to come home to. But much of the time, the reality is far more bleak. 

Part of the roommate rite of passage is the harsh reality that many so-called adults have no idea how to treat or share a living space. This could mean that they neglect to wash the dishes. It could mean that they help themselves to food and beverages that don't belong to them. But time and time again we hear stories of laziness, entitlement and straight up griminess that turn the notion of having roommates into less of a money-saving move than a horror show. These terrible tales and photos reflect that unfortunate reality to a tee, and remind us that loneliness or living in a crappy studio in the "bad" part of town definitely beats having scummy roommates.

Browsing through memes is a perfectly delightful pastime. But after a while, the memes start to blur together. It's very similar to the way time has begun to feel since early 2020. To break free from the monotony of cat memes or lowest common denominator relatable memes, we've put together this collection of decidedly cringey and uncomfortable memes, tweets, and posts. They might not be pleasant, but they're definitely entertaining. And sometimes that's all we need.

It has been two days since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers crushed the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV. People have quieted down about The Weeknd's incredibly memeable halftime performance. Hopefully, all the buffalo wing sauce has exited your bowels quickly and painlessly. You'd think the Sunday Funday would be a distant memory. But, alas. The internet is still reeling from one influencer's mindboggling attempt at a "nacho hack," a scarring and arguably revolting gift that was meant to help people who are apparently struggling to serve the decadent food that is prevalent during the "Big Game."

On the same day as the Super Bowl, Facebook user Adley uploaded a video of an unknown woman showing viewers how to hack their own nachos. This is not something new for Adley's page - it's absolutely littered with clickbaity pranks and unnecessary products. But when this brunette opened a gigantic can of Velveeta and proceeded to pour it onto her pristine kitchen island, all bets were off.

After spreading the garishly orange cheese product around with her bare hands, our mystery woman adds the following: obviously cold beef, a can of black beans, wilted bagged lettuce, a container of sour cream, "guacamole," pickled jalapenos, and cold shredded cheese. The whole thing is a mess. You'd think that the display was over here, but you would also be dead wrong. It actually gets worse. 

Following a liberal dusting of packaged taco seasoning, our "chef" proceed to use two putty knives (yes, the ones for spackle) to mix the unholy mix of ingredients into a vomit-esque blob. But what are nachos without the chips? While normally the dish consists of tortilla chips that are sensually layered with sumptuous ingredients, this woman has other plans. She dumps a bag of chips on top of the gross and gooey mass, and again uses her bare hands to crunch and then fold the chips into the cheesy mess. She then uses an ice cream scoop to fill a TORTILLA cone with the "nachos" and takes a hammy bite out of it. 

If you're feeling shook by this "hack" you're definitely not alone. After @PettiBetti shared the cringey display on Twitter, the post quickly went viral. People absolutely love to tear down crimes against food, and this is a pretty heinous crime. While some people decried the "chef's" use of ingredients and the fact that she was serving NACHOS in a CONE, other people seemed to be more triggered by her lack of gloves. Obviously, some people took issue with both. We've put together some of the horrified responses, because they're hilarious. But if you for some reason want to subject yourself to the full dose of insanity, you can do so right here. Just try not to watch while you're eating.  

We've got some seriously bad news for fish-lovers. According to a report from nonprofit Oceana, over 20% of 449 fish that they tested were mislabeled, exposing some pretty serious "fish fraud." This is a staggering percentage, especially when considering that less than 1% of fish is tested for fraud. There's a huge chance that the expensive fish you're ordering while dining out is cheap - or even, according to this related Twitter thread from a biology professor, dangerous. There are fish out there that will hurt you to eat. And, as @AwesomeBioTA's class discovered, some of this "fish" is almost too disgusting for words.

Ever look at at meme, tweet, or photograph and feel the urge to pour bleach in your eyes or invent a memory eraser to zap the poison from your brain? Yeah, us too. Turns out the internet is absolutely brimming with this kind of content. And while we can definitely call them disturbing or unsavory, the fact is that cursed images are, at the very least, far from boring. These memes and tweets are wonderful examples of content that makes you say "Thanks, I hate it." If they don't make you feel a little more alive, try sending them to your friends. It's always fun to pull people down with you. 

For anyone who enjoys holiday festivities but is desperately bored with the same old decorations, family photos, TV specials, and Mariah Carey Christmas hits, Chris Maggio is one honorary memelord who knows how to mix it up by embracing the inherent awkwardness of western holiday traditions and deep focusing into the cringe. His 'Male Chef' photo series satirizes the familiar and banal parts of holiday practices and turns Christmas into Cursed-mas.

We're pleased to share Maggio's repulsive reimagining of holiday ritual. It's fun to try and formulate some sort of narrative as you scroll through these cursed gems.

If you look hard enough, sometimes you can find some real gold on Craigslist, eBay, and Facebook Marketplace...but not the kind of gold you might be thinking of. We're talking content. Used pregnancy tests. Bean-filled condoms. New born baby yeet-machines. All the crazy crap they couldn't even pay you to take, but definitely makes you think, 'file that to r/CrackheadCraigslist.'

We've got some cringey and hilarious examples of times unhinged people tried to sell not-so-good goods and services on the internet. We love to see it.

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 need that sh*t anymore. Barf.

Beautiful, shallow-focus closeups of warm pie and glistening cranberry sauce are cool if you want to feel really hungry for some reason, but otherwise, scrolling through an endless Instagram feed of the same holiday dishes can get pretty damn boring. How about some content that's both festive and cursed? The antithesis of food porn, if you will. Photographer Chris Maggio is someone who truly appreciates the repulsive beauty of the cursed image. We're featuring some of the most absurd Thanksgiving images from Maggio's 'Male Chef' series, which satirizes holiday traditions. We've also included a handful of random cursed tidbits from the weird crevasses of the internet for good measure. 

Well, sh*t. One very shook gentleman took to Reddit after discovering that his girlfriend was wiping her butt with his gym socks. The entire situation is insane, and after she explains herself it gets even more crazy. Could you stay with your significant other if you found out they'd been using your socks to clean their bottoms?
