Watching cringey stuff is painful. Our eyes are running away from it, our gut is repulsed, maybe even our muscles are involuntarily contracting. But we can't help it. Teens congratulating their classmates because they are black, a woman licking a toilet bowl in hopes of starting the 'coronavirus challenge'... For some reason, we need to see how these things play out. Even if our body is refusing to allow it.

The subreddit r/Cringetopia is a gold mine for this type of content. With 1.1 million active members constantly sharing some of the cringiest things they can find on the Internet, it's just getting bigger and bigger, too. Continue scrolling and check out what they have collected so far!

It’s Actually Quite Sophisticated Stuff

It’s Actually Quite Sophisticated Stuff

reddit.com Report

Frieder Paulus, a psychologist at the Lübeck University in Germany, told Quartz that embarrassment is social: it tells us when we have violated a social norm and makes us feel bad for doing so. But it's not clear why exactly we have the capacity to cringe or as scientists call it, feel vicarious embarrassment.

We feel others' embarrassment because we are empathetic—we imagine how someone else thinks and feels because it determines how we treat others and cooperate with one another. Feeling second-hand embarrassment might be just a byproduct of a more important trait, much like how the belly button is a symbol of the umbilical cord.

Why do some people just spew garbage from their mouths about the things they do not know about? It's awful if a tornado drill image can be twisted to form such hate in people.

It should. Even picking up a child without the parents' permission is questionable.

If you send someone an unsolicited d-pic , you deserve that message sent to everyone. Your parents, your grandparents, your employer, any friends remaining, and the rest of the world so they know what a disgusting human you are.

Teaching "abstinence-only" simply doesn't work. Teach the kids about safe and consensual sex and about birth control. If you really care about fewer children getting pregnant and requesting abortions, this is the only reasonable way to go. (Nothing wrong in abstinence as an idea, though.)

Also apparently she said she cleaned the seat with clorox before she licked it, which contradicts the whole experiment

That girl was on Dr.Phil for being...well...very rich and quite vapid. Most think she just went on the show for clout. In fact she cleaned the toilet before licking it which doesn't even make it ok AND she even pretended to run for president (making her dumb speech on tiktok)

i think we can all agree that if licking toilet seats won't do her in, something else will. this level of stupid knows few limits... or anything else. yet the controls for tiktok are thankfully very intuitive.

It gets her attention just like the previous teeth filing crap and holocaust titles. Are some of the kids/teens nowadays actually this bored and desperate for attention and recognition? But wouldn't this be their parents faults? I have a 14yr old and if she did s**t like this, she wouldn't have a phone.
