social media

It's hard to define what exactly makes something cringe. It's really a vibe. It's the embarrassing images and comments people post on the internet without irony that inspire others to log off. It's something that makes you feel ashamed just for having witnessed its awkwardness. So why do we subject ourselves to this pain? Well, because it's funny. If you're in a masochistic mood, we've got a whole bunch of cringe content for you to wince through. To be fair, a few of these specimens from r/cringepics and r/cringetopia are cringe in a self-aware way, which is actually kinda based. 

She usually doesn't post things like this, and in this case, it is ABSOLUTELY allowed. Apparently her manager at Jersey Mike's fired her because she was leaving in a few months anyways. Thing is, that's completely illegal...

Not the answers he wanted, but it sounds like the answers he damn well deserved. Maybe err on the side of not sharing that shit on Facebook next time, dude. Future employment opportunities could be tough after this. 

If you've been on the wonderful world of Facebook before, then you're probably familiar with the pyramid scheme (otherwise known as multi-level marketing) where "entrepreneurs" are paid to sell products to their social media followers. Sometimes the products work, but most of the time it's simply a scam and the salesperson ends up with little money or even in debt to the company.

Here are 17 memes and posts that'll really hit home to anyone who's ever been the victim of an annoying MLM salesperson!

Social media can be a good thing. Sites like Facebook and Instagram allow people to keep in touch with family and friends - a luxury that people are learning is incredibly important as the world copes with the Covid-19 pandemic. But there's a darker (and untintentionally hilarious) side to being able to share images with your followers. We're talking about the fact that people can hit the "share" button and share convoluted memes and posts that they seem to think are ultra deep. You know, "We live in a society" type sentiments. They often have to do with some very teenage feelings about loneliness and dating, and, even worse, the negative effects of the same technology they're using to share their "deep thoughts." The r/im14andthisisdeep subreddit is an impressive archive of these kinds of posts, a veritable hub of cringey thoughts that, frankly, we can't help but eat up. We've put together some of their latest and greatest offerings, but you can enjoy some more of this content here if you end up craving more.

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. 

We love our collections of overheards here. Overheards are a great expression of all the crazy kinds of seemingly nonsensical things that we can overhear while out walking around this wild world. Sometimes, you can hear something and instantaneously recognize that no amount of context is going to provide clarity to that conversation. Peoples say some weird stuff. In this case, we have a quick and hilarious collection of things a wife's medical student husband was caught saying. 

We can't stop laughing. Groupon guy is insanely awesome. 

Oh boy, buckle on up for a rollercoaster of pure and unadulterated madness. Yes, we're talking about the mad lads of the world. Those lads that are agents of chaos, and consistently defy expectations. They're reckless, fearless, and very good at irritating other people online. Like that one dude with the great one-liner that got him booted from the Flat Earther group. Dang shame, really. 

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. 

Twitter is one of the best places to find thoughtful and hilarious little quips about anything and everything. Some tweet about what's going on in the world while others share random shower thoughts or funny anecdotes that have no relevance to anything in particular. We're here for all of it as long as we're laughing! We're still giggling over the zingers in this hearty batch of Twitter gold.
