Ryan Reynolds and his notorious inventory of witty one-liners and clever comebacks are perfect for Twitter. If anything, observational tweets like Reynolds' tweet about parenting can serve to remind the rest of us that parenting is hard for everyone. Even if you're Deadpool himself, raising a baby is no small feat. 

Man, oh man, this ancient artifact of a computer actually looks like it'd be a whole lot of fun to play around with. A true throwback. 

Sometimes, we don't even need the clueless people of the online world to get called out. Sometimes, they do our jobs for us. The following collection of human beings were their own worst enemies on the internet. They accomplished this by tweet/posting statuses with minimal brain exertion. 

Positive teachers that genuinely care about the well being of their students, as well as cultivating in them a legitimate passion for learning, are some of the most cherished human beings on the planet. As can be expected, a fair number of kids resist the idea of school, hitting the books, and keeping up with all that homework. Put the right teacher in front of them that can get them excited about the whole academic process, and you might actually end up with more stories like this wholesome gem from Raifa Rafiq.

We love us some clever comebacks from the online world's spicy silver tongues. As long as there's a comments section or people insist on clogging up social media feeds with mindless tweets and statuses that could've used a second set of eyes, and a dash of logic, we'll have other folks waiting eagerly nearby, ready to light them up in the comments section. We've also got that gem from the legend, Stephen Hawking. Check out some more confidence-shattering comebacks and insults over here.

Liliana Segura's moving Twitter thread shines light on the struggles experienced by folks that try to set up prison visits to see loved ones. It's a bit of a nightmare, to say the least. 

Strong Canada vibes with these tweets about life out in the Midwest. Apparently these are pretty accurate. 

It's stories like this that can highlight just how much of a profound impact just a little encouragement can make for anyone that is otherwise just trying to get by. 

For some reason, having the ability to type out your thoughts has emboldened people who think they're geniuses and enabled them to brag to everyone about how smart they think they are. These mistaken brain lords are out there in the comments ruining jokes they don't get, making conversations awkward, and always mentioning their supposed IQs.

Mary Robinette's story about her experience with discovering an ominous lump on her body, and then being able to get the help she needed in Iceland, speaks volumes to the healthcare situation back in America. Sounds like a visit to Iceland to get medical attention could actually be worthwhile. 

There are people in this world that think that Wi-Fi and internet are the same thing. Just let that percolate for a second. Okay, moving forward, we live in an era completely dominated by technology, and that very technology continues to evolve at the kind of rapid pace that makes it pretty much impossible to keep up with. I mean, sh*t, we're looking at a future where we'll have the option to put actual computer chips in our brains thanks to Elon Musk. How about we don't go there? 

We're back at it again with a fresh round of rare insults that people broke out in the comments section. They're the kind of insults you might be able to appreciate, while potentially feeling bad for laughing at. These people are just being themselves, but hey, you can't stop a rare insult once it's been unleashed. 

And just like that you learn something new every day. Whenever you get down and in the dumps coming off a fresh brain fart experience, just remember that there are in fact people walking this globe that are unaware that steak is beef. Unreal. 

Well if that isn't a new and unexpected way to get out of a speeding ticket. Can't say we recommend trying it out, but at the very least this guy's got a story for the books. Well done, my dude. 

NextDoor is one of those apps that effortlessly generates a goldmine of people being them strangest selves, and airing it out for the rest of the online world to see. For those unaware of what exactly NextDoor is, it's a social media site that connects folks living in the same neighborhood. We're not entirely sure which of these are genuine, honest questions/complaints, and which of these are people just trolling away. 

Scottish Twitter is our favorite kind of Twitter. We might not be able to understand what these Scots are saying (more than) half the time, but that doesn't mean that it's not fun to read them, and just try to make sense of the madness. Who'd have known that Twitter would've ended up being such a pure reflection of Scottish culture. If you enjoyed these check out more gems from Scottish Twitter over here.
