yikes

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. 

In the age of GoFundMe, people are becoming super entitled and super shameless when they ask for help of any kind. These "needy" individuals are some of the worst offenders we've seen yet. We really hope these choosy beggars take a long and hard in the mirror, but we're not holding our breath for that kind of decency.

People always warn against comparing yourself to others, but when you're given the opportunity to pinpoint the vast differences between you and human garbage fires, you'll end up feeling pretty freakin' great. These tidbits from Reddit and facepalm-inspiring social media posts are guaranteed to up your self esteem. If these don't have you feelin' like a snack you can check out these cringey pictures from hell.

Remember being an emo tween/teenager? Unfortunately, we do too. Listening to sad songs on repeat. Thinking we our first school relationships were "forever." Posting attention-seeking messages to social media, hoping someone notice all the pain. While the depression was often very real, there's a painfully cringey- and amusing - aspect to people who wear their hearts on their sleeve on the internet. Don't believe us? Scroll down and brace yourself for some serious discomfort.

While we realize that for many people education is a luxury, some of these errors are just too ridiculous to to admonish. It's pretty clear from these cringey pics that we either need to invest more money in our schools, or work harder to make autocorrect work for everyone, 

We here at Memebase are more than aware that choosy beggars are creeping all over the world (and on the internet.) We thought that maybe our shared plight during the pandemic might make people realize the errors of their ways. But these entitled individuals have definitely proved us wrong. 

While the living may have a say in their funeral plans before they die, the truth is that they're more for their loved ones who are grieving. Unfortunately, sometimes those people cannot be trusted to behave appropriately at what is supposed to be a respectful and somber affair. Redditor u/Bankrupt-R-Us has provided us with ample proof after soliciting r/AskReddit for some serious funeral horror stories. These shameful tales are filled with sorrow, cringe, and most importantly: reminders that you shouldn't be an asshole during intensely personal and painful moments. 

Some things change. People grow older, they grow apart. Pandemics ravage the globe. Natural disasters become more frequent. People move. But one thing stays the same. One thing remains constant: the absolute joy  we feel while laughing at other people's stupidity. And there's a whole lot of it right here.

Forget wholesome content and happy memes. Sometimes we all need to scroll through a selection of cringey moments that can only be described as "dumpster fire." You know, so we can all feel a bit better about ourselves.

If you've been at all conscious for literally any part of 2020, you're probably aware that everything has pretty much gone to shit. Between the pandemic, politics, and the general lack of humanity, things have been pretty damn bleak. But in case you need a little more evidence, these cringey and arguably disheartening pictures will definitely help solidify the sad state of the world. Hopefully 2021 will be better.

Okay, look. We know that the friend zone isn't a real thing. But damn, these tales of unrequited love and rejection are pretty damn entertaining nonetheless. 

It's no surprise that many professions cut corners and do some sketchy shit to make an extra buck or save themselves a hassle. Many businesses claim their wares are homemade when they're actually mass-produced, or in food, pre-prepared and frozen. Some places commit highway robbery by upcharging at a serious margin. These are some pretty widely accepted (albeit unfortunate) truths. But u/CircleBox2, in the name of demystification, asked redditors to share the darkest secrets from their industries. And some of them are shadier than we expected.

Freddie Mercury was correct in Bohemian Rhapsody when he said that "nothing really matters," because let's face it, life is meaningless and corporations have completely taken over our lives. So if for some strange reason you're in the mood to be reminded of the dystopian hell we live in, scroll down!

When the world goes to sh*t, sometimes you need a reminder that things could be worse. And these insanely cringey pics and posts are guaranteed to do the trick. Even though the universe feels like it's being destroyed, at least you're not one of these terrible people. 

If you're ever bored and would like to witness astounding levels of both insanity and stupidity, your best bet would be to go take a scroll through the r/insanepeoplefacebook subreddit. It's the exact opposite of boring. In fact, we'd say it's a veritable treasure trove of stupidity from anti-vaxxers, Karens, and all-around crazies that almost make for sadistic reading. While we are saddened to learn of these high levels of idiocy, knowledge is definitely power. And kind of entertaining. We've put together some of the latest and greatest (hard to find 'em through the scads of political posts) but you can catch more at the popular subreddit.

Look, we can't all be excellent cooks, and that's okay. What matters is that these people tried. And for those of us who are really just not culinarily gifted no matter how hard we try, there's always Postmates!
