Your social media feed is, to a large extent, a reflection of your personality. You see posts made by artists who inspire you, athletes whom you admire, and publishers that provide information on the topics you care about.
So whenever something pops up there that doesn't align with your values and interests, it sticks out like a silly misplaced emoji in a serious conversation. However, sometimes people run into things that they find are so far-removed from their casual online experience that they feel as if they just discovered a UFO artifact.
Turns out, one platform is particularly rich with these "surprises," and I think you can already sense which one. (Hint: it belongs to Meta.) And there's a whole subreddit to prove it! So to show you just how wild and unpredictable it can be, we invite you to take a look at what the 2.3 million members of r/TerribleFacebookMemes have been reposting. Oh, darn it, I gave it away. Anyway, here you go!

My Grandpa Just Reposted This Make It Stoppppp
There's no reason to be a d**k to the person just trying to do their job, but they're not wrong.
This Hurts
In a post titled, 'Return to our Roots,' the moderators of r/TerribleFacebookMemes said that "originally this subreddit was about Boomer memes," but it went through quite an intense period.
"It was about memes so painfully unfunny and out of touch that you would choke on a minion if you had to endure one more cry-laughing emoji on a sad post."
However, since the mods allowed members a lot of freedom, over time the community began to transform "into some kind of unholy abomination where ... most of the posts ... are just outright racism or transphobia."
Somebody Came Into A Restaurant And Left This Irl Meme. Does This Being Here?
Tattoo Bad
Taken Straight From Facebook
Wow! So I should alter my whole appearance and style to suit other people's tastes, rather than to suit myself? Never heard that before!.... said no woman ever 🙄
So the moderators had to intervene. "Somewhere in February, a smarter-than-average subscriber in modmail alerted us to the fact that Reddit has a terms of service and today we alert you to that too," they explained in the post.
"Subreddits can get banned and users can get sitewide suspensions for the [things] we feature here. Even if it is meant to laugh at. Even if we explicitly say that agreeing with the bad memes is forbidden."
Woah Fast
This Definitely Belongs Here
So the atheist child created something actually useful and the religious child didn't?
So Funny
To be fair, I know so little about computers and programming,I'd probably do that. I'm sure I could make even the toughest, most experienced tech support cry like a baby.
A Relative Just Shared This After Sharing Pro Trump Memes For 4 Years
"For some bizarre, unfathomable reason, we do actually like this place," the mods continued. "We want to keep it. We want to see it prosper. So we need to go back to our roots."
They announced that they're working hard to eradicate any racism, transphobia, homophobia, and other issues you could've noticed there. Now, "all posts have to follow the site-wide rules."
This post was made in March, and it seems that they're trying their best to live up to it, even if some relics from the past remain.

F**k My Wife Lol Xd
Of course, just like other generations, boomers are much more diverse than these memes suggest. Some of the life experiences, and thus worldviews, of a senior in Toronto likely bear little resemblance to one from Tokyo.
After all, this generation has gone from using landlines to flip phones to smartphones and from typewriters to desktops to laptops.
The "Growing Up In The 70s" Fb Page Is A Gold Mine Of Shit Tier Memes
Well it'd be difficult for the kids who didn't survive to post this meme now wouldn't it?
Haha She Wants A Big Dick
🤔
I want to be honest, I don't care what a woman is. I don't care what a man is either. I don't even care what I am. And you know what? It doesn't matter who identifies as what, nobody is hurt by just being friendly to each other
My Uncle Just Shared This
At least it feels like its going in the right direction, that you should not be allowed to compete with females if you went through puberty as a man. More and more high level female athletes speak up about it. How it sucks to train so hard you whole life for a man to come in and break records a woman might never be able to match.
Plus, they aren't hostile towards younger generations 'just because' and aren't criticizing them as much as it sometimes might seem in the media.
Yes, 48 percent of boomers think that a person's chances of success depend more on their merit than factors that are outside of their control, but so do 44 percent of Gen X, 41 percent of millennials, and 40 percent of Gen Z. So there's no big generational divide on this question.
So maybe we should cut them some slack too? After all, every basket of apples can have a variety of aromas, flavors, and textures.
Why Is Kermit Involved
Sure 🙄
Says one of the people that want to send their children to anti gay camps where abusers roam free and can do whatever they want to the kids.
Not Too Terrible, But Pretty Close. Finally Found One In The Wild
I apparently needed to move up north. I mowed lawns for 10 bucks. I would have died before I made 200 a day in the FL heat.
This I can confirm. I have died several times mowing the grass in August.
Load More Replies...Bought my first car at 16 with money I made delivering newspapers, mowing lawns and shoveling driveways.
Yep. That's an "everything you own and half of what you rent hurts when your done scooping" snow storm.
Load More Replies...None of the parents I know let their kids knock on doors of anyone they don't know well. A lot of people don't know their neighbors, and who knows when someone might answer the door with a gun
Besides that, nobody can afford their own rent or groceries anymore. Let alone throw $20 away on some stranger's kid to save you 10 minutes in the cold. It used to be that time was more valuable than money. Now everyone's broke.
Load More Replies...Bro, I have six kids a week on my porch tryna make money when it snows. You live in the wrong neighborhood (probably because you hate kids). (I'd pay them but I have a really weird roommate who actually ENJOYS shoveling snow)
Because it’s a side industry taken over by adults who use blowers and trucks. Plus this is an alleyway.
The problem is the authors entire generation became the ones doing the paying. And they decided the snow shoveller didn't need *that* much after all.
I hope you do realize that A, you can do it yourself, ya lazy bum, and B, kids have actual jobs that they can do without turning into ice pops
Sorry, but my husband is 67 and has cancer ... He's not lazy.
Load More Replies...Where I lived in the 1950s people were so damned cheap it wasn't worth the effort. The few that paid rarely mentioned the word 'dollar.' May others just left their walks unshoveled.
In 1969, my buddy and I made $100 each in a 12 hour day shoveling snow, and I remember my dad saying you made more in a day than I did today.
This is lies. Grew up poor af and shoveled every driveway I could as a kid, most people paid me $1-2 for a full clean. Every now and again you'd get a decent person who'd give you $5-10 for a big driveway and an hour of work. After a 6-12 hrs out in the cold, I'd have enough to rent a game or buy some food, but not both
I remember one time I took care of a 3 acre empty lot with hedges. I had to provide the mower, gas, oil, and hedge trimmer. After 3 months of spending every Saturday there, I got a cheque for $120 after $60 of expenses. People steal from children and consider it helping
Load More Replies...It was $3 if you were lucky to shovel a walk when I was a kid. No-one got rich shoveling sidewalks when I was a kid.
This may be true for the US, but here in 🇩🇪, homeowners have to shovel snow on the sidewalk in front of their houses and also keep access to the garbage cans free. Private salting has long been banned because of groundwater contamination.
We have kids in our neighborhood who shovel walks when snowstorms hit. There will be several groups of them doing it. Which is great since we have Snowpocolypse annual in Texas now.
Kids are smarter than you. These days they sit in the nice warm house making youtube content and millions of dollars. but you go grab that shovel and get your 200$
Yeah, there are 10 youtube millionaires on my block alone.

I mean yeah, but you could make that with anyone having a PHD who hasn't a doctor in medicine, right?
Yes
I would much prefer my warriors to be both. I want my warriors to have very well developed critical thinking skills. I want them to understand and create good strategies. I want them to have empathy. I do NOT want them to be mere animals acting on brute strength only I want them to recognize bad orders that shouldn’t be followed when they’re given, instead of acting like robots given their programming and not questioning it. It’s like the people who claim to be doers, not thinkers. That’s not the flex they think it is. Because things work out much better if you do the thinking BEFORE the doing.
