Social media doesn't come easily to every person. Some people take forever to learn how to upload Instagram pictures or navigate X (formerly known as Twitter). And some people haven't even left Facebook ! Even in current year, when many of us have moved on from Facebook to more current social media sites, there's still a big population who are enjoying the site. Whenever I scroll through good ole Facebook , I see more and more people using avatars in their statuses (see #1 for an example). They…

You think people would really do that? Just go on the internet and lie? Yeah—well, actually, It turns out that's exactly what people do on the internet… Probably more than anything else. The anonymity of the internet has offered us the chance to be who we want from the outset of it's existence, a great outlet for all of us early adopters who still wouldn't dream of exposing our true identities and are horrified by younger people's eagerness to bare all online. And, well, it turns out anonymous…

Buckle up because this is a long one. This entire family, no doubt, has gone through some hard times. And the OP gives us the full background in the story he posted to Reddit below. So fast-forwarding to the present day, our OP finally saved up enough money to buy a house so he didn't have to live in a camper anymore. He couldn't be more ecstatic. He jumped on over to Facebook to share the good news with his friends. This is where the story takes a turn.

It's perplexing how many people think that they've come up with something clever when all they've done is reinvent something that humans have known about for centuries and made illegal for a reason. You can't just go around asking to do unpaid work for free as if being in your mere presence should be enough to excuse the fact that you're not being fairly compensated. Yes, sometimes this is called an “unpaid internship” but there's another word that comes to mind for pretty much any other time t…

Some things stand out to you immediately as being out of place—like feeling the skin suddenly crawling on the back of your neck when you're walking through the park at night. We're primally—well… ‘primed’ for picking out when things are potentially dangerous; that innate survival instinct works wonders for picking up when things aren't quite what they seem. However, some people are cunning and practiced in their duplicity, and chances are you might miss the subtle hints that things really aren'…

It's 2023, and a lot of us are more addicted to social media, streaming services, or YouTube than we'd probably care to admit. We'll take anything and everything — all at once — as long as it saves us from having a single thought enter our head that will lead us to reflect on our own existence. The buzzing hum of constant stimulation provides us with the means necessary to fill the void left by whatever our lives used to be. Unfortunately, despite the constant urge to check the reason behind th…

In scheduling out our Facebook page, I go through a lot of memes — it's just kind of the nature of the job. Throughout the course of this delicate and precise selection process, there are dozens of memes that don't make the cut; these are the ones that did. This selection, a heaping helping of 50+ memes, are those that we have posted to our section's Facebook page. Consider this a spiritual successor to last year's “Most Memes of the Week” series, which I made the executive decision to disconti…

Back in his day, kids used to walk to school uphill both ways — backward, with their legs tied together and while balancing a razor-sharp scimitar atop their head. Apparently, these entrepreneurial youths also used to knock on people's doors during blizzards and sub-zero temperatures in order to offer their shoveling services for a fiver… Next, they'll be telling us that Minecraft is evidence that the children yearn for the mines . It might be frightfully cold out, but that didn't stop this ent…

We're not always going to succeed at everything we do in life, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. There is a certain purpose and dignity in the attempt itself that is meaningful in and of itself. At least, that's how it might have been before the internet. Now, every mistake you make is immortalized for eternity somewhere online. Every video of that stupid thing you did, every hot-take that you Tweeted out in 2012, it's all up there in the cloud somewhere (aka sitting on a server in a room…

If you needed proof that all cultures have something in common: This is it. As it turns out, that end piece of crusty bread is regarded in a similar, if not identical, way in each culture. Forever an outcast, or as the Scottish put it: an outsider, that end piece of bread is regarded by all to be an inferior or unwanted portion, earning names like 'The Mother-in-Law,' the 'Butt' 'Boss,' 'Heel,' 'Nob'; all terms being derogatory, unwanted, and utterly dreadful, dirty things. This is a topic that…

A single mother posted this message to a Facebook group, requesting a childcare provider capable and willing to work for less than $3 an hour. The concerning thing here is that the poster is quick to share all of the problems that they are currently dealing with as justification for paying such a miserably low rate. Yet, not once do they take any ownership for any part of their situation. Every problem they have is described as being the fault of something/someone other than themselves. These s…

Yes, I know I know, I can already see the comments. “What is this? Actual Fails on Fail Blog?”

An insane Karen sent this woman a message asking to buy her service dog and after receiving multiple “Nos”, she launched into Super Saiyan Karen mode. Screenshots of the exchange were posted to Reddit, where they have been making rounds in relevant subreddits. This thread was shared to Reddit's r/entitledb*tch subreddit, which deals with a predictable subject matter. Often users will post exchanges, such as this one, or text-based stories to the sub in order to out entitled Karens or vent a lit…

After listing their dining set on Facebook Marketplace this would-be seller didn't expect that they'd be accosted by a wild marketplace Karen. This Karen was feral for the set and didn't appreciate not receiving instant replies to her requests; she proceeded to irrationally lose her marbles with a string of entitled messages to the seller. We've said it before, and we'll say it again… Selling used goods on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist , or any other free equivalent platform is pretty easy……

Commenters say she was fired shortly after this went viral.

When social media has repercussions.
