Life is pretty easy for a lot of us netizens. These daft first world problems may be helpful in bringing some perspective to your charmed little lives. Maybe seeing how ridiculous our anxieties are will help you next time you find yourself sweating when your phone dips to 20%.
yikes
While we definitely have respect for those photographers that think out every shot and aspect of composition, there's something to be said about having time on your side where photos are concerned. Most of these happy (and unhappy) accidents seem to have had serendipity on their side. That's something that you really can't duplicate, no matter how hard you try.
When I was 24 I gave myself a black eye because I was too lazy to turn on the light in my bedroom. Fully sober, I attempted to make it from the door to my bed and ended up tripping on, and into, an antique chair. The black eye that resulted from this moment of genius boasted an impressive color palette. It was not my finest moment. Fortunately, I am not alone in my supremely dumb injury. These stories make me feel a hell of a lot better about my life and choices.
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.
The latest cringey deep-fried meme to start trending has us wondering what would happen if we "accidentally" kissed in various real and fictional locales. The meme started back in 2018 but really gained traction in late March, with memers going ultra meta and ironic with the format. Here are some of the best examples of this arguably stupid meme.
This crude drawing of Tom the cat has been making waves in the meme-osphere since early March. Memers love a crappy drawing, and they've been using his unsettled expression to illustrate cringey situations that we hope would never happen in real life. The meme is still blowing up, so we've put together a big ol' batch of the cream of the crop. You're welcome. Looking for more? Check out this collection of Unsettled Tom memes over at eBaum's World.
Think you've seen it all? Think again. Twitter user @grimiestt has truly lived up to their name after uploading a video of themselves licking an airplane toilet seat. The astonishingly gross video has understandably left much of Twitter completely shook, and has resulted in a surprisingly number of business opportunities. The 22 year old Brooklyn resident has officially upped the ante for airplane antics, so people who are patting themselves on the back for being members of the "Mile High Club" should feel somewhat humbled. We're just happy to hear that they're still alive after what they describes as a "numbing" experience.
Everyone goes through messed up phases of insecurity. You may feel small, weird, or like a total outsider. In these situations, we recommend trying to get some perspective. These photos will help you do just that. The overload of cringe should remind you that everything could be much, much worse.
If you're feeling down or like your life isn't going anywhere, we've got some memes and pics for you. Incels and neckbeards, with their cheeto-dusted fingers and Mountain Dew tinted teeth, are basically the stuff of facepalm legend. They lurk the internet making fools of themselves, and entertainment for us. These are their stories.
