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.

Well. Sex toys practically guarantee to give you an orgasm while a lot of men care nothing for a woman's pleasure and still think that 'sex'=penetration. So... yes, it makes sense that some men are preferred less than dildos.

No unneccesary conversations. A dildo doesn't call you a whore, slut or bitch or ask you to wash clothes, cook, and it won't cheat on you or give you STD after cheating. Get it?

tbh, there r tons of reasons for woman buying dildos... not all feel comfortable with having sex, like me, not all like to take the chance of getting pregnant, like me, not all girls who m________ are adults/over 17/whatever law u have in ur country, like me, and a lot more personal ones that I would not share.

Omg, does this guy want a list? Dildos don't get you pregnant and then leave. They don't criticize your cooking, decorating style, weight, clothes, makeup, or politics. They don't mansplain. They'll give you an orgasm every time. They don't beg for a**l. I could go on and on.

Dildos don't waste time writing a check their body can't cash. They are pretty much good to go at any given moment and don't have any sudden cravings that require anything assembled from food and dishes to wash

Also for most of us women, we don't actually see the dildo as a "penis/fake penis". For us its just a sex toy. Nothing more. It may be phallic shaped, but its still not a penis.

A friend was at our local sex shop, Goldie's, buying a dildo. The only color they had in her "size" was black. A Black man was in line behind her and said he'd provide the real thing to her for free. She replied that she was a lesbian and no thanks, lol.

No awkward silence afterwards when all you want is for him to leave but don't have the courage to say get out, dido don't talk so no boring conversations, if ya don't want it, ya don't bring it out. There's no pregnancy scares or diseases....the list is endless

Plus a plastic object will take no for an answer. Granted it can’t talk or understand the word no but I would feel safer around a vibrator.

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.)
