Technology is an amazing thing. With the internet, we have a world of knowledge at our fingertips, and also a great many ways to display our lack thereof. These poor souls will rue the day they signed up for social media.

The love of grandparents is a very special type of unconditional. Many times they won't even flinch at something your parents would absolutely freak about. If you're lucky, they would slip you money or feed you dessert for dinner. Even if your grandparents are spoiling you from the afterlife, these posts are sure to bring you back to a simpler time when you were "looking a little skinny" or needed "just one more helping."
We're still not sure what "yeet" means, but there is absolutely no doubt in our minds that these people and brands really missed the mark with these sad attempts at seeming relevant. Culled from the depths of r/fellowkids, these images are proof that sometimes it's really best to not try at all.
Look, we get it - sometimes you gotta photoshop that huge zit out of your otherwise perfect Instagram pic...or maybe your nose is looking a little too big from that angle...and hey, perhaps your butt needs to be a little bigger ...oh, and maybe your makeup doesn't quite look "flawless" enough.
Okay, so maybe the photoshop and Facetune goes a little too far sometimes. It's mostly all fun and games until you start altering absolutely everything about the photo and masquerade behind the facade of being "all-natural."
These "Instagram vs. Reality" memes exemplify the absolute ridiculousness that some people will go through to perfect their image on social media!
There are some things we assume are obvious not to publish on social media. For example, going into depth with your personal-life problems? Maybe talk to a shrink about that instead of vague-booking it. Alas, that common sense apparently doesn't exist for some people, but we're at least glad we can get some entertainment out of it!
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.
Whether you're Canadian and accused of being too polite, or a Brit and people assume you have bad teeth, stereotypes are pretty damn unavoidable. They can range from humorous (shrimp on the barbie) to offensive (American obesity) and are especially rampant on the internet. One curious redditor decided to take a deep dive into the most frustrating assumptions that global citizens battle, and the results range from serious to pretty damn hilarious.
The "Feeling Cute Challenge" has got people from all walks of life taking some pretty silly selfies, and it's revived a meme, (Felt Cute Might Delete Later) that we thought was pretty much dead. From cops to pizza delivery dudes, the craze has just about gotten out of hand. Unfortunately, as is the case with many internet challenges, what was meant to be fun has sparked some controversy. A Columbus Water Works employee posted his own selfie saying he might "cut off your water later" and it's rubbed people the wrong way. Probably not a great idea to make light of poverty. Most of these are pretty lighthearted, and you can enjoy more on Ebaum's World and Know Your Meme!
Holy mother of cringe stories, Batman.
"Alternative parenting" can be a good thing to an extent; the child can get a sense of freedom while building up trust between them and the parents. But sometimes that tactic goes waaaay overboard, as is exemplified by this lady, who wanted an outdoor bedroom for her unvaccinated two-year-old. Sometimes kids just need to be parented, dammit!
Some insults are just so beautifully poetic that you can't even be mad about them. All you can really do is nod your head and say, "touche" while you stare off pensively into the distance. The following examples demonstrate flawless execution, grace, and poise and we certainly think they're deserving of our recognition!
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.
