social media

While we realize that not everyone qualifies for Mensa, these posts shout out people who have somehow managed to take stupid to the next level. And we have to admit we're completely here for it. There's something extremely satisfying about witnessing someone exhibit a lack of intelligence that rivals your own. It's a sick ego boost, but we'll take doses of elevated self-image when and where we can get them. We just hope these poor souls invest some of their time into exercising their brains and familiarizing themselves with common sense. They clearly need all the help they can get. 

It's no secret that any given social network can quickly become toxic, because wherever there are human beings, there are idiots with unfathomable blind confidence in the bullsh*t they spout. r/insanepeoplefacebook is a pretty cursed subreddit where you can find and endless supply of flat-earthers, anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, and bigots caught in the wild posting their nonsense and commenting when no one asked. If you're in a mood to feel worse about humanity, we've got a bunch of cringey posts for you from the worst of social media.

We're willing to bet that you all have those Facebook or Instagram friends that make you wonder how they're still allowed on the sites. Their posts might make you cringe or curse humanity, but you keep 'em around because they're entertaining. Here's a batch of those kinda posts without the guilt you feel from actually knowing the posters.

You've heard of those toxic 'nice guys,' well guess what? 'Nice girls' exist too, and they're cringey AF. Anyone who takes a scroll through r/niceguys or r/nicegirls will leave feeling like the world is just a cesspool of self-entitled assholes tangled in an endless, toxic cycle of cruelty. May these examples of cringey not-so-nice girls be a reminder to everyone that trust, communication, and mutual respect are an invaluable part of any kind of relationship. 

We all had a reasonable amount of fun with the "bone apple tea" meme that started popping up back in 2016, but these fails are truly next level. We're seriously praying that these poor souls are feigning ignorance!

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. 

There's no getting around it: the world is going through it. From protests around the USA to the coronavirus pandemic, things are looking and feeling bleak as hell. While these memes and posts won't solve any of the problems plaguing the globe, they do have the potential to improve your mood and remind you that there is still some good in the world. And that counts for something.

Before the internet, people would show that they were tough by maybe wearing a muscle shirt or owning a comically huge truck. Maybe they'd throw some flexes your way or pick a fight at a bar. Now, thanks to social media, dudes can make their toughness known with cringey posts that promise they're capable of messing someone up. The r/iamverybadass subreddit does an amazing job of cataloguing this specific kind of "badass." And we can't get enough of hilariously toxic masculinity.

It's interesting that you can immediately tell how someone was raised by how demanding and entitled they are. The more entitled, the more they likely got handed on a silver platter as kids. The following people definitely fall into that category, and as frustrating as they may be, at least we get a little schadenfreude out of it!

Few things are more entertaining than grandparents on social media. Their posts and comments may be cringey as heck, but can you blame them? They didn't exactly grow up with the internet like we did. Regardless, we think they're hilarious and very much deserving of some recognition, so get scrollin' and then check out /r/OldPeopleFacebook for more!

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.

We're back with another round of fresh, funny, and relatable tweets from true masters of wit. If you often wish there was an easy way to see a stream of hilarious tidbits from Twitter without all the schlock, it's your lucky day because we've curated a collection of hot tweets that are sure to please. In this gallery you'll find funny takes on current events, relatable complaints, and random observations that make you think. We've got even more quality tweets here if you're still in the mood after this selection. 

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.

While the internet has given people the ability to share images of themselves and (apparently) the world around them, it's also give people the opportunity to attempt to alter reality with the handy dandy tool that is Photoshop. Or worse, budget programs that are meant to alter ones appearance on dating apps or Instagram. Blatant catfishing aside, the practice not only takes people for fools, but it reveals some seriously messed up insecurities. Or, in the case of retail websites and photographers, a seriously stingy practice of cutting costs. While we feel for those with crappy body image, we can't help but laugh at these arguably terrible attempts at suave photo editing. They're cringey. They're shoddy. And they're absolutely hilarious. 

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.
