old people

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 backgrounds. The collection is impressive, a very worthwhile way of getting your Monday procrasturbation on. 

It's always unfortunate when someone passes away, especially when they were well-known in the community. This guy named Tim clearly had an, um...unique life and we're pretty jealous of whoever was gifted the honor of writing his obituary. Tim, we didn't even know ya but we still got a laugh out of your life story, so thanks for that. RIP.

If you've passed the age of 25, then you've almost certainly hit that inevitable quarter-life crisis where you start feeling like an old person. Suddenly you have to be in bed by 10 pm every night or else you'll feel like utter sh*t every morning, and going out seems like the most mundane chore in the world. It's rough, but unfortunately it's just a part of life, so own it!

We all have those family members or older acquaintances on Facebook who discovered memes a little later in life and just don't quite...get them. You know, the ones who love minions and the second-amendment? We can't be too mad at them for it though because meme-ing really is an art form that took most of us a bit of time to master. Regardless, here are 15 memes hilarious for their gargantuan amounts of cringe!

Generation Y gets a lot of sh*t constantly for supposedly being lazy, entitled and easily offended. Are these things actually true? The answer to that is of course subjective, but if you're a Millennial then you'll know that stereotypes about us tend to be a bit (or a lot) overplayed, and these tweets make light of that.

It can be a bit of a trip thinking about how you've changed as a person from your high school years to now. It's probably safe to say that a lot of us went from partying every weekend as teenagers to passing out by 9pm on Saturday nights without the help of alcohol. It's all just a part of the inevitable cycle of life!

These people are tweeting about the cringey ways they've grown (or back-pedaled) since their teen years, under the hashtag "High School Me Vs Adult Me."

Sometimes it's good to get away from all the negative news being broadcasted to the us on a daily basis - it can start to seem like there's literally nothing good happening in the world. Let these memes serve as a reminder to you that there is good in the world!

Old people really are true gems on the internet with their adorably innocent presence on Facebook and other social media sites. We can't really blame them for their ignorance - after all, they grew up in a completely different era long before the internet ever existed. But we certainly appreciate their technological illiteracy at times for its comedic effect!
