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.

Most people these days have that person in their phone saved as 'Satan,' or a similar person who you really, really don't want to hear from. Maybe they cheated or maybe they ghosted you. But chances are when you hear from these exes, you're probably not very happy about it. That's how these former lovers felt when their old flame's came back a-knockin', but they handled the solicitations with sass, spite, and a whole lot of confidence.
Everyone's got 20/20 hindsight, but many are blind when it comes to predicting outcomes and sharing takes that stand the test of time. It's not always fun to look into the past, especially when you're the one with the embarrassingly wrong analysis immortalized forever on subs like r/agedlikemilk. For us passive observers on the other hand, this stuff is mad entertaining.

Memes don't have to be smart to be funny. In fact, sometimes, the dumber they are, the better. When we're looking to pass the time doing something fun, we're not looking for philosophical memes with tons of academic references. Heck no. We're looking for the easy laughs that come with easy scrolling. You know, stuff that makes you shake your head, but might be kind of relatable. If you feel the same, you're probably going to enjoy this girthy gallery.

Wherever there are people minding their own business, trying to go about their stressful day, there's always a Karen lurking somewhere nearby, ready to make everyone's lives just a little bit harder. The retail world and service industry are no strangers to the obnoxious Karen who seemingly exists to abuse shift workers, and it seems like the plague has produced a new breed of Super Karens who complain to managers about anything and everything all while refusing to wear a face mask in the midst of a global pandemic.
For the essential workers out there who have had to continue dealing with crazy ass Karens, these memes and posts are for you. Thanks to the internet, the evil-doings of Karens are now very well-documented, and so we can roast Karen from the safety of our own homes.
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.
Okay, before you get mad at us for indirectly insulting the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, just hear us out. Without those 418 hours of boring dialogue and confusing plot holes, we wouldn't have the sea of dank prequel memes we have today, so in a way we're giving George Lucas a compliment. You're welcome. Whether you're a fan of the prequels or not, we're sure you'll enjoy these funny memes full of Star Wars lore.
There is something about internet anonymity that really allows people to feel comfortable bending the truth or even flat out, blatantly lying. There are also people who feel totally fine fibbing to the friends and family on their timeline. Why? Well, some people do it to make a political or societal point. Or to express that they have some kind of experience with pain or strife. You know the type of situation or person. Rachel Dolezal. People who pretend to have been denied or given bad service because they were white or don't believe in vaccinations or disease-preventing masks.
Other people weave their flourish-y creative tales for attention or pity. They dream up fake cancer diagnoses for sympathy and con friends, family, and strangers in order to rake in the crowdfunding money. Some of them create a sob story so that people will talk to them on sites like Reddit or Twitter.
Then there are the attention-hungry individuals who are looking for clout. They write up detailed sagas to mine Reddit karma, which will in turn allow them to post their lies freely all over the website. Or they want their tweet to go viral. And then there are the wannabe tough guys who regale the internet with fictitious heroics or even more false tales that evoke the classic "I have a girlfriend but she goes to another school" trope.
You'll find that most of these types are represented in this lengthy list of creative storytellers. While we do wish that people would just, you know, not lie on the internet, at least there are places like r/thatHappened where we can laugh at their foolish attempts.
It should be known by now that we enjoy mocking other people's misfortune - and as schadenfreude goes, these amusing tales are pretty lighthearted. When Twitter user @lillyannatrnr shared a facepalm-worthy serving anecdote from her boyfriend's past, we're willing to bet she didn't think she was starting a thread of epic proportions. But his ignorance regarding creme fraiche and the laughs that followed inspired other users to share their own food-service and grocery work blunders. The result? A massive thread of funny fails and punny verbal comedy. We've picked out some of the better gems for you, but you can see more hilarity at the thread itself.
