Thanks to smart phones, any moment can be videoed or photographed , and not everyone is okay with that. Smart phones have made our lives infinitely easier, I wouldn't deny that. However, the cost of everyone having a smart phone is that any and every thing is recordable now. From people's best moments to their worst, people aren't afraid to pull out their phones and start filming. Then, they often share it to social media, where they can share it with friends, rake in likes and comments, and po…

A disagreement over cupcakes is tearing these two friends apart. Baking cupcakes and cakes for a living is one of those dream jobs that sounds super fun, and is actually a very lot of work. Unless you see behind the scenes, as a customer, you just can't understand what goes into creating professional baked goods . Many bakers do post behind the scenes videos on their social media pages, and it's incredible the amount of skill and technique necessary for these desserts . Some bakers use premium…

We love family drama when it's not our family!

This woman gained a hater all because she's, um, using social media platforms ? No one ever said growing older would be easy, but this woman is having a lot of trouble adapting to new technologies. As u/Automatic-Ad-5753 wrote to r/AmItheA**hole, she has an issue with her SIL's extensive use of the TikTok social media platform . The writer claims that the SIL finds basically all her hobbies and inspirations from the app. And what are these trends that have the OP so upset? Well, her SIL is doin…

This is what you get for being nosy!

Not everyone believes in that old saying, “It's the thought that counts.” U/Salt_Mood_7908 wrote to the r/etiquette sub with a burning question on her mind. She's suddenly found herself in an awkward situation with her SIL. This SIL asked for only “vanilla cards” as presents. While this is a term I've never heard before, it apparently refers to prepaid debit cards . And this SIL wants only those, so that she won't be “loaded down with stuff she won't use.” Now, if you want to have a preference…

Isn't it crazy that we live in an era where posting yourself online counts as a career? You can make millions of dollars by making maintaining a shocked expression as you stare at an imaginary audience through a camera and overexaggerate the pronunciation of every word you say. Hey, bonus if you learn a trending dance that includes exactly 3 moves with a voiceover of a baby screeching. Times have changed, y'all… This college student took to the r/AITA subreddit, asking Redditors for their take…

Sometimes, you're actively seeking revenge on your ex, but other times, the perfect recipe for revenge just falls right into your lap.

Social media, celebrities, pop culture, oh my!

Everyone should have their time to shine, but some people can't help being the main character in their lives 24/7. We all have these people in our lives, and maybe you are that person! Some people love to post every minute of their lives on their socials, which of course their friends will comment on, hyping up their reels, snaps , or TikToks. It's so lovely when your besties give you love on your photos, but too much of that might give you a big head. Even influencers with just a few hundred f…

On a throwaway account, one person with physical disabilities asked what she could do to stop her friend from “mimicking” her condition.

This bakery owner learned a difficult and expensive lesson after working with an influencer who didn't hold up her end of the bargain. As the OP shared to r/ChoosingBeggars, she decided to collaborate with an influencer who was the wife of a local musician. She gave this influencer a box of cookies, and received a 6-second video clip highlighting the products. Sounds great, but would it actually draw any paying customers? As the OP continued on with the story, they shared that they did gain a f…

Oh, you did something awkward? Time to share it with your 8000 closest friends on social media! These people below are unashamed, thriving, living their most embarrassing lives right out in public. It's easy enough to shoot off a quick Snap story to your friends or followers. I feel bad for the guy who accidentally sliced off half his hair just in time for his very first day of class. That's not quite the right impression you want to give! I also feel for the woman who was shaving her legs and…

Why be social when you can avoid everyone?

The world is sometimes a scary, lonely, and horrible place. It seems like whenever you open the news these days, something terrible has happened somewhere and it's becoming numbing and ridiculous to even consider that there's good news out there. Fortunately, there are the few news stories that slip through the cracks in the machine , blessing our feeds with some of the most ridiculous heccin' titles imaginable. So sure, maybe there's been a horrific bombing in the Middle East… but there's also…

We can't all be Kanye West.
