Generally, we don’t like feeling uncomfortable. Whether it’s physical discomfort like sitting in a back-breaking chair or emotional annoyance of having to listen to a drunk toast by the bride’s uncle at a wedding, many of us would rather avoid these types of experiences. However, when it comes to cringe, there’s something about it that we find fascinating.

Huge contributors to second-hand embarrassment online are oversharers. Nowadays, some people post first and then think, and that often leads to awkwardness for everybody. Bored Panda has collected some of the most cringy posts where people clearly couldn’t read the room and made things awkward.

As a matter of fact, the sort of masks we were all wearing during the shutdown did, in fact, do less than nothing ***IF*** you maintained 6-foot or 2-meter distances. They were designed to prevent surgeons from spitting into their patients. They did not filter aerosolized particles escaping your mouth; they merely diverted your breath and prevented you from spitting on each other (which is a far bigger issue than it may seem like), but they also captured the virus and provided a warm, damp environment for them to thrive.

    This is hilarious and delightful and I imagine they did that so they wouldn't get sued for producing the next idiot who thinks that being turned down means he needs to shoot up a cheerleading practice or something.
