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

We're so glad we found the subreddit /r/ForwardsFromGrandma and we think you'll like it too. We all know at least one older person on Facebook who's constantly posting one conspiracy theory or another. If nothing else, at least it supplies us with some hearty laughs, right?
We're here to give the elderly some serious props for trying to figure out technology. But sometimes (often) they fail. And it's so, so, so, entertaining. This may sound like some light bullying, but we are coming from a place of utmost respect, a place of undying appreciation for their ability to accidentally create the kind of wholesome content that the rest of us just need.
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!
Bill Foster became an unwitting celebrity after being featured on r/oldpeoplefacebookfor a misspelled comment he posted to the Bush Beans Facebook page. His comment, "I;m thinking about thos beans," quickly went viral. Beans have become a major shitposting joke since the success of the comment - with the success resulting in tons of cursed images with a focus on Foster's true love: thos beans.
CW for people who don't like to see beans in places they definitely don't belong.
These cursed images are definitely going to entertain you.
