Stupidity and ignorance run amok online. Fortunately, we have people who task themselves with calling out the blatant lies, and unfounded incendiary statuses/comments. I do wonder if we'll ever find a time, when people actually up and quit their bs, online. But I'm doubtful, at BEST. It's just too easy for people to weave a tale anchored in imaginative fiction, online, when they can hide the truth in their eyes, behind a computer screen they post from.
Ken M's work takes him to the spicy trenches of social media's most emotionally abrasive comments sections. He is a shit starter, but does it in a smooth and cunning way that looks like its own lost art form. If anything, Ken M's typical pokes and prods encourage someone to take themselves a bit LESS seriously on social media. The online world's a place of exaggeration, deception, occasional wholesome, and a whole lot of other BS. It is fun to play around with it, every once and a while!
Just when you think people can't stoop low enough, they respond seriously to an Onion article. Is it a lack of critical thinking skills? Poor reading comprehension? Zero sense of humor? Bogus knowledge of the real world and an inability to distinguish between fact from fiction? Okay, yeah it's probably a combination of all of these. Anyway if you liked these then here's more times people assumed The Onion was trying to be a reputable News source.
When asked about the dumbest interaction they've had with a patient, these folks did not let up. Stories like these kinda make it more obvious why so many people still have such a vast misunderstanding of basic medical knowledge these days. When doctors have to stress basic stuff like this, it makes you wonder how a lot of people manage to stay alive.
Sometimes people need to be reminded that the world can detect the stink of the BS they're putting out. In these cases, liars met their match in the online world's toughest truth-defending warriors.
Boohoo clothing company got completely shredded in the Facebook comments section over how this particular article of clothing fits. People got very illustrative and comedically critical on how this particular piece of cloth, might bring its own shortcomings...
What's frustrating about people who think they're smart is that they never learn anything. Having an ego isn't illegal, but when you start trying to bully people online, say really obvious shit, and ruin everyone's time, then you've become a burden. Here's to hoping these folks can see the bigger picture.
Dammit Carol, that bacon is more pink and raw than a chapped ass, those eggs look like they've been fried on a sidewalk and the beans are sadder than a racehorse with a broken leg.
If is wasn't obvious by now, make sure your creation is worth reviewing when you submit it for public ridicule.
This rageful parent's emotional post about their daughter getting measles is as relevant a reminder to anti-vaxxers today, as it was, when it was posted back in 2015. The news is riddled with accounts of a measles outbreak, and the anti-vaxxers are being called out with renewed passion for their part in the upsurge of cases. Maybe this post will make a splash in the social media space, and inspire further discussion about the impacts of vaccination, or NOT vaccinating your children.
Most of us are just trying to get through the day without inconveniencing other people. But when individuals do things so offensively selfish, gross or inconsiderate that they make other people's lives hard, that is some seriously trash-tastic behavior. Here's some classic trashiness fit for a dumpster.
American stand-up comedian, John Mulaney, and some of his quotes go terribly well with band names. Whether it's Blink-182 or My Chemical romance, this list includes some of the most loved and loathed and trolled, bands of the 2000s; and as it turns out, they pair wonderfully well with some John Mulaney funnies.
Life is full of earnest attempts. Sometimes you're trying to have a good time. Sometimes you're trying to tie down a four-wheeler to a truck bed. Sometimes you're just trying to joke around with your friends. With every attempt, there's a possibility for failure, and these folks did not escape it. Neither did these folks, either.
This is the kind of emotionally-stirring post, centered on courage and selflessness in the face of true tragedy that has the ability to reawaken an idle faith in humanity. Seriously. It doesn't get much more powerful than this. As for the nurse, it sounds like she's since discovered word of this post, thanks to social media doing some good in the world; and she's connected with the brother who left the post on Facebook.
This informative twitter thread seeks to shed light on how much information, concerning you, is being regularly, aggressively compiled. The results might surprise you, or you're someone who's accepted the state of things as they are, and you couldn't care less about what Google or Facebook has on you. It's a strange time to be alive, as technology continues to evolve faster than we could've ever fever dreamed up. This era requires dogged mindfulness, and research, if you want to ensure you know exactly what using a browser or signing up for a "free" social media service, entails. A whole lot more going on behind the curtain than we realize...
