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.

I worked in retail while I was in college and we offered a military discount but you had to be the one that actually served. There were several times the spouse (I remember it was always a wife) got mad that they couldn’t receive the discount.

I am going to throw this out there...I know several US military spouses. Four of them are in my family. None of them have ever asked for or expected anything for free. Although, they have been known take advantage of a particular coffee shop near here that offers a 20% discount to active military members and their spouses, because who doesn't want to save fifty cents on a cup of coffee?

so for being someone's spouse, you want free alcohol? how about you tell us the perks you DO get for being a military spouse: free education. free healthcare. discounts at national parks. free on-base classes. legal assistance. military spouse tax benefits. marriage and family counseling. military spouse scholarships. transferred GI bill benefits. commissaries and exchanges where you buy groceries at cost and don't pay sales tax. Military spouses are given preferential employment placement in vacant Department of Defense (DoD) civilian positions. Shall I go on? Pay for your $12 glasses of wine and count the myriad benefits you DO get as a military spouse. Not to mention having a partner you can be proud of; who is literally willing to lay down his life to protect our precious and dearly-bought freedoms.

OKay first of all it's not you in the freaking military so y the heck would you think your entitled to it (this isn't necessarily correct, I pretty sure there are military family discounts sometimes and have someone in the military can take a toll on families), second of all, not even the ones actually in the military get thing free! Maybe they get a discount every once in a while but that's it! JUST WHY!!!

I hate military spouses who try to "wear" the rank and privilege more than their spouse who actually serves. As a member of a military family, I understand the whole family makes sacrifices but some spouses try to take it to a ridiculous and infuriating level.

As a former military brat and military spouse, I can attest that this is not a "normal" military spouse. Most of us have figured out that our husbands went to Vietnam, while we stayed home and took advantage stupid low prices at the commissary and PX. We did get to go to Germany and Italy and Japan, though. Not exactly what I call a rough life. Yeah, honey. Next time pay your bill, tip your server, and remember your spouse is serving his country. You're staying home and stay safe because he's serving. Then kindly STFU because folk like you give folks like us a bad name.

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.)
