social media

Some people take a long bath or treat themselves to a pastry when they're feeling low. Maybe they talk to a friend who can make them smile. But when we're feeling depressed or insecure, our favorite pastime is observing stupid people do what they do best: inflate our egos with their embarrassing antics. There's nothing quite as uplifting as seeing people f*ck up worse than we do on a day-to-day basis. And we've got a whole lot of that stupid for you to scroll through right here.

The process of scattering a loved ones ashes is generally pretty sacred and emotional. Today, we've learned that's not always the case. A desperate (and desperately amused) individual took to Facebook to beg for advice on how to dispose of her father's ashes after her mother informed her that his remains had completely solidified into a brick of human ash. After OP's mother had to take a CHISEL to said brick, they decided to avoid their unusual plight by asking the internet for advice. The commenters delivered something, but a whole lot more comedy than wisdom. And we're honestly more than okay with that.

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. 

You gotta love old people. They may not understand social media etiquette at all, but that's okay because their blunders thoroughly entertain the rest of us. Check out some of our favorite cringey posts from /r/OldPeopleFacebook below, and then head on over to eBaum's World for more gold content! We're pretty confident that you'll get a kick out of it.

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.

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.

These people really tried, so we have to give them credit for that. But unfortunately in the end their attempts missed the mark, and ultimately we're here to laugh at their failures.

We all have that one friend (or several even) who keeps trying to push their pyramid scheme on you. And the worst part is, it doesn't seem to matter how many times you try to tell them that they're a part of a total scam, they'll just continue to believe that they're an "entrepreneur" or a "boss babe." Accordingly, we've put together a collection of memes and posts to get the cringe flowing through your veins!

If you're ever feeling bad about yourself, just take a stroll through the following posts from people who missed very obvious jokes. We're pretty sure they'll boost your self-confidence. Check out /r/woooosh for more cringe material!

As younger people abandon Facebook for Instagram and TikTok, it seems like we're more aware of all the crazies that frequent the social networking site. Some of the best places to find unhinged and ignorant people are mommy/parenting groups. There's an overwhelming number of Covid-19 nonbelievers, people who do extremely weird sh*t with breast milk, and of course - lots of talk of essential oils. If the children are our future, and they're being raised by these people, we might be more screwed than we thought. 

Is it just us or is 2020 the year of the Karen? It seems that this cursed year has somehow emboldened entitled women despite all the 'Karen' backlash that we're not ashamed to admit we've enjoyed. Between the coronavirus pandemic and recent protests against police brutality, every Karen has something to say. And it's usually a massively combination of offensive, entitled, and ignorant garbage. This mix of Karen content covers all of those bases - with a few memes thrown in for a light chuckle. 

As much as we like to avoid cringey and crazy people in real life, they sure do provide us with plenty of entertainment on the internet. From woefully bad political takes to godawful corny memes, these examples of cringe are sure to leave you with a lot of questions.

If you ever need a reminder that there are many, many unstable people in this world, just hop on the internet. From Facebook comments to mind-boggling flat earth tweets, there's evidence of psychosis all around us. And we have to admit, it's kind of entertaining. 

Being a woman can be pretty rough. People can mock PMS and teary outbursts, but these hormones are NO joke. In this very enlightening Facebook thread, a bevy of women share their most insanely irrational pre-menstrual moments. We doubt you'll take this sh*t lightly after some of these wild anecdotes.

The internet is a sad, scary place that seems to be brimming with cringe. These cringey pics, however, are a special breed. These embarrassing posts are actually so cringeworthy and sad that they're guaranteed to make you feel more depressed than you already are. If you're into that sort of thing.

If you've ever spent time on social media, you're probably aware of the existence of "Reply Guys." The term refers to men who go out of their way to reply (unsolicited) to women's tweets or slide into dms with comments that are generally very inappropriate and very horny. While we're sure these messages are generally disturbing and annoying to recipients, we have to admit that the cringey ballsiness of the senders is incredibly entertaining. Twitter account @guyinthereply has set out to document these creepy messages, and their archive is filled with pure gold. We've put together some of the more tame examples but you can visit their twitter for the stuff that is decidedly NSFW.
