social media

Replies this clever are pretty hard to come by; you've kinda just just gotta be in the right place at the right time, and brands like Wendy's - the absolute champions of the roast - know this all too well. Some of these people seriously deserve an award for their witty replies!

There are some things we assume are obvious not to publish on social media. For example, going into depth with your personal-life problems? Maybe talk to a shrink about that instead of vague-booking it. Alas, that common sense apparently doesn't exist for some people, but we're at least glad we can get some entertainment out of it!

The internet loves a good little Millennials vs Baby Boomers online battle. This Baby Boomer was in for a rude awakening in the comments section after their post about millennial entitlement and free education vs. affordable education. Sometimes the best way to address bullish ignorance is to break out the facts. Their point was very well put, and it doesn't look like angry baby boomer had anything else to say about the matter. 

This quick and entertaining and temporarily extremely confusing Tumblr post showcases the potential implications of younger generations not being able to communicate clearly, because they spend all their time online. We can't tell if they were intentionally spewing nonsense with that one paragraph, or genuinely being the very thing they were condemning. Hard to tell. 

If you're a social media user of any kind, by now you are well acquainted with the #10YearChallenge. The meme involves users posting contrasting photos from 2009 and 2019 to highlight how much they have changed. The meme has gone on to be used ironically, and now it's being used to create climate change awareness. 

Instead of posting impressive glow-ups or dank memes, some users, politicians, and organizations have taken to Twitter and Facebook to highlight the rapid destruction of our environment. Emaciated polar bears and melted glaciers make our versions of the challenge seem more shallow and narcissistic than they already did. We encourage everyone to get involved in this movement and help protect the world for ourselves and future generations.

This is the BEST brand on social media. Every time I thought Domino's Pizza Zimbabwegot as funny as they could possibly get, they went and outdid themselves. 

Let's not mess up the celebration of a miraculous human achievement. Twitter user Andrew Chael, was quick to call out people online who are taking away from the incredible achievement of his colleague, Katie Bouman. 

We all know that Instagram and other social media platforms are completely full of fake sh*t, and we're all guilty of scrolling through it from time to time. Some of us more than others...

So go ahead and scroll through these memes as a little form of schadenfreude. No shame in that!

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.

This guy decided to out a girl he hooked up with after he found out she had herpes, after not disclosing it to him when they originally hooked up. Apparently he posted anonymously on their University's Facebook page, and just wanted to warn other people, because of his experience with her deceiving him. From there he proceeded to face quite a bit of backlash. Was he in fact the asshole for outing her, or did he do the right thing? Or, are they both just kind of crappy people in this equation? 

Life just loves to throw curveballs our way. If it seems like things are kicking along smoothly, you probably get that uncomfortable ache in the pit of your stomach that everything's about to get shaken up in one way or another. It just seems to be the natural course of life. We can always count on it being consistently inconsistent. These people's real life plot twists certainly contribute toward that outlook. 

In case you weren't already well aware, James Fridman is a legend when it comes to taking people's completely reasonable Photoshop requests, and crafting utter monstrosities out of them. But alas, therein lies all the fun. If you bother asking James Fridman for a photoshop request, you'd best be ready to have him put a wildly unexpected twist on it. Check out more masterful photoshop trolls from James Fridman over here.

Sometimes you can find yourself situated in the gig that you grew up thinking you wanted all along, only to come to realize that the job is being proactively ruined by an absolutely terrible boss. A terrible boss will effortlessly stink up a peaceful environment with tidal waves of toxicity and anxiety, and make the rest of the employees that are just trying to get their jobs done feel like their tasks are insurmountable. If anything, it wouldn't hurt to keep these bad boss behaviors in mind for your future gigs. 

The math wizards went WILD on this one. Can you blame 'em.
