There's nothing more insufferable than a pretentious dickwad who thinks they're superior to the rest of the world. These brazen individuals (who are definitely having delusions of grandeur) felt the need to declare their superiority on social media. It just ends up being satisfying schadenfreude for us losers.

Some things are just cringey enough to make you say "oof" out loud and make a visibly pained facial expression. These posts are of no exception. In fact, many of these people should not be allowed on social media ever again. Maybe we should all have to take a test to be allowed on social media? Honestly, that seems reasonable at this point.

This crude drawing of Tom the cat has been making waves in the meme-osphere since early March.

There are many uncertainties in this world, but we're willing to bet that prequel memes are forever. This format from the oft-mocked series is one of the most versatile - and one of the most hilarious. This Star Wars template features General Grievous uttering "Ah yes, the Negotiator" - referring to Obi-Wan Kenobi. The caption lends itself as a reaction to cringey text exchanges, as well as some seriously relatable memes that deal with all the negotiations we'd make as kids. Here are our favorites. 

Yesterday, the person in front of me at the coffee shop insisted on paying for my dirty chai latte. One of those sweet random acts of kindness that restores your faith in humanity for at least a little while. These pics, social media posts, and memes will probably have the opposite effect on your brain. Instead of instilling hopeful optimism, these posts (and the people behind them) absolutely terrify us. And even so, they're entertaining as hell. We can't stop the cringe so we may as well enjoy it.

Generation Z, AKA those born between approximately 2000 and 2020, is known for their usage of the word "yeet" and their tendency to eat Tide Pods. We old Millennials might not fully understand you, but we respect you, and that's all that matters.
