social media

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!

As younger people abandon Facebook for Instagram and TikTok, it seems like we're more aware of all the crazies that frequent the social networking site. Some of the best places to find unhinged and ignorant people are mommy/parenting groups. There's an overwhelming number of Covid-19 nonbelievers, people who do extremely weird sh*t with breast milk, and of course - lots of talk of essential oils. If the children are our future, and they're being raised by these people, we might be more screwed than we thought. 

These liars just keep coming out of the woodwork. For whatever reason, a ton of people that use the internet have convinced themselves that other folks don't know any better when it comes to fact checking. On top of that, some of these lies are just plain lousy. Fortunately, we have our fair share of people who are ready to shine the light of truth on all the fabricated nonsense. 

Tumblr continues to churn up all kinds of silly, hilarious, strange, and just plain old random thoughts. We love it. It seems to be a wonderful place that reflects how strange us human beings, and all of our thoughts are. And the people that frequent Tumblr share those thoughts with a reckless abandon. So, we're left with steady streams of hilariously bizarre thoughts, fandoms, conspiracies, etc. 

If this collection of Tumblr gems got you going, then check out this fun Tumblr thread about how magenta isn't a real color, after all.

Sick and tired of seeing incels and reply guys everywhere you look on the internet? We suggest you take a look at this palate cleanser. It's filled with wholesome moments of bros setting good examples and putting positive energy into the world. If you like what you see, you can check out our other gallery of decidedly non-toxic masculinity. There's still work to be done but let's give these dudes a little positive reinforcement.

This Twitter thread goes all in on the nostalgia. Careful, it might hit you right in the childhood. But hey, it's fun to relive the times of the past, and remember just how far you've come in this long and strange trip. 

This graphic novel artist was more than ready for the ever present challenge of confronting an online troll. What we see is a proper shut down in action. 

Ariane Sherine got a fun thread going about people's most ridiculous misunderstandings. So many of us can fall through the cracks when it comes to bits of common knowledge. Maybe we're out there completely misinterpreting logos, or maybe we're unknowingly completely botching the pronunciation of names. At the very least, these moments of confusion might make you feel better about yours. 

Man, you can just feel the energy of the awk being channeled in this quick Twitter thread. Real or not, just picturing this girl trying to live tweet, and then live tweeting herself into an awkward situation, is gold in and of itself. 

Oh yeah, we've got a fresh collection of fiery banter and insults from the online world's most tenacious wordsmiths. Some people take it upon themselves to deliver all kinds of reality checks, witty insults, etc, to others in the online world that seem to be in need of a quick wakeup. Never underestimate the power of the written word. These folks definitely got humbled. 

Enjoy this fresh batch of people that tried to do one thing, and met failure in the end. As May chugs along, it's fun to remind ourselves that nobody is safe from failing at a moment's notice, and we can find comfort in forgetting about our own fails, by enjoying other people's. 

Ah, yes, we've assembled a hot and bothered batch of times that people went full Karen. Sometimes, folks just decide to approach otherwise peaceful processes like grocery shopping, or eating at a restaurant, with a severe sense of entitlement, and puzzling frustration over things not going exactly as they want. 

Check out some more Karen drama with this story about the time that Karen made a neighborhood miserable, got fined, and ended up going bankrupt.

Clever comebacks just warm our hearts. Our last round was certainly fiery and unforgiving, and folks seemed to enjoy that. So, we're back at it again with the kinds of comebacks that were nails in the coffins. Sometimes, someone dishes out a comeback that there's simply no coming back from. 

This fun Twitter thread involves a shocked and equally entertained stepdad witnessing his stepson get away with having a secret overnight visitor. You can really feel the intensity build, and ultimately just love to see the kid get away with it. He was playing with fire, but pulled it off!

@dog_feelings never fails to make us sorely wish we could actually read what dogs are thinking. Is it truly that loving, loyal, and painfully wholesome? Would love to be able to peel back the curtain and see what kinds of dreams dogs have as well. What gets them so riled up all the time when they're snoozing. 

Keep your head up, Craig. You'll find someone out there eventually. It just wasn't meant to be...
