Old People Who Struggled To Master Social Media


Most of us have some older relatives on Facebook who just don't seem to get it. They'll try to use their own status as a google search bar, try to talk to Mark Zuckerberg directly, and respond to innocuous posts in extremely angry all caps. We should give these old people wrangling with social media some credit for having to navigate technology that only came out when they were well into adulthood, but we should also acknowledge that sending a direct message to Walmart and demanding Todd be fired is an objectively dumb thing to do. But here we are, watching old people do their best on social media.

Funny Tweets To Grind Boredom Into The Dirt


Twitter is like if you took a bunch of carrier pigeons, made them carry everyone's most weird and inconsequential thoughts, then shot them out of a cannon into a tornado, then had to scoop all the remains with a snow shovel into a dumpster full of tires, lit it on fire, and tried to read the letters as they burned and floated away.

Sayings and Behaviors That Give Away Americans
