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.

Tssh. He's looking at some health problems ahead. My uncle was one of those guys who hunted constantly and did the fair circuit, he had his own smoker/stall/did competitions. Eventually a mainly red meat diet caught up with him and it's kind of sad. He has issues with his heart, he definitely can't eat red meat like he used to. My cousin seems to be taking the same path, he ballooned up too and has been getting bbq competitions. Like anything it's moderation.

Honestly, I don't care how other people live their lives at all unless it hurts the environment or others. Unfortunately, eating meat really does harm other creatures (horrifically and painfully) so it's not something I am going to be passive about when someone brings the issue up (I very rarely bring it up myself because people don't listen). Probably going to get downvoted for this, but I really don't care - I'm just saying what I believe.

I hate this kind of people, of both sides. There are good arguments for eating or not animal products. But just attacking people is stupid.

I don't mind veganism for the right reasons, and eating the right foods to be healthy, but if you think you're saving an animal that is dumb. We haven't stopped eating meat yet-but they are making lab meat now. Gross. Imagine if none of us ate animals, how we would be taken over. Someone told me once cavemen did not eat meat. WTF. Animals eat animals. We are animals. Therefore, we should eat meat.

Most animals don't enslave other animals, artificially impregnate them, steal their babies, steal their milk to drink (if they are cows), raise them and their babies for the sole purpose of slaughter. We haven't stopped eating meat yet, true, but the hope is that eventually most of the world will stop. And I don't think that is too far fetched. Meat, dairy, and egg industries have been losing billions of dollars because people are choosing plant-based alternatives. And, if you think lab-grown meat is gross, please take a look at how your 'food' was raised (I'll give you a hint: they are covered in feces and often have open sores and infections if they aren't on antibiotics).

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.)
