The ability to tell the entire world what you feel or think is dizzying. 'How should I phrase this?' 'Do I include that?' 'Is this oversharing?' So many doubts are lurking around that share button.
But believe it or not, some people are immune to them. They post every thought that crosses their mind. And they can be anyone! Parents complaining about their kids, high schoolers "analyzing" political discourse, celebrities interacting with fans, or everyday folks venting about their lives; we can't keep count.
Here's a collection of tweets from people who decided to get personal online. Too personal!

The staff at CollegeGrad, an entry-level job site for college students and recent grads, believe there are at least 9 things you should never post on social media.
1. Profanity. The language you use on social media is often the same one you'll use when casually interacting with coworkers. A minor four-letter-word once in a while isn't a crime, but if swearing is a big part of who you are, it may affect how employers look at you.
2. Abusive content. Social media can be a great place to share opinions, but if your feed is full of arguments and rants, you may come across as an overly negative person, probably not the kind of employee companies want in their office.
3. Adult content. A snapshot on the beach is perfectly fine but posting explicit photos of yourself can have a noticeable impact on your image. The Internet is a public place. So, before posting a selfie, consider if you are OK with being seen like that in the office.
Genius
This could work for when you need to choose where to go eat. It would just have to be adapted for both. Brilliant idea.

Difference is: there's a finite amount of restaurants in your area, and you can visit them multiple times (you can watch movies multiple times as well, but say over a short period of time).

Well you would be hoping the app helps find that matching movie but u may end up scrolling for weeks
I'd need an app for me. Just for me. Something that suggests things based on my level of boredom or itchiness. (I get itchy when I want something but I don't know what. Is that just me? I feel like I'm sitting in nettles )
Would absolutely use this with my friends; we can never agree on what to watch for movie night and we always end up rewatching lilo and stitch (not complaining though).
THAT IS BRILLIANT!!!! It would solve a LOT of issues in my relationship! He is super picky, so I always tell him "YOU pick the movie, and I will tell you if I want to watch it." He hates it when I make him decide. But he is the one that starts a thousand movies and gives up on them, and I am the one paying for the streaming service, who has to constantly "hide" the movies he didn't like, because they are clogging up my streaming lists. Dang, this would be a game-changer!!!
I'm an idiot. I just tried to swipe right instead of scroll down.
The problem with this is that there are lots of things I want to watch but I have to be in the mood .. so you gotta match mood with preference first
Maybe you should spark one more often. Who knows, perhaps the answer for world peace and a Nobel prize is in your future.
omg I need this so bad it takes us forever to find something we both want to watch at the same time lol
He could just pick one. I'm going to sleep through it anyway. But this is an awesome idea
Get sober and create it! You’ll have my money and lots of others!
A friend and I were just reminiscing about going to Blockbuster to find a movie to watch. All the good ones would be taken early so we'd argue about which less-popular one(s) to get.
As opposed to scrolling through together going 'this one? what about this one? this one? or this one?'
Dude, someone needs to do this. Also needs to be done for dinner.
Stoned you is brilliant ! If I think I've posted something clever when I'm baked . The next day I read it and I'm like damn , I hope nobody read that nonsense . Lol
I swear being stoned gives you the most brilliant ideas just we never remember to write them down! She should patent this FR
Patent that NOW!!!! Don't let Netflix et al steal your idea for free. Get your slice of the pie.
That's brilliant; when we were stoned (my well-spent youth) we would often have brilliant ideas, but in the morning come to realise either they were s&&t or someone had already done it! One time three of us convinced each other we would be millionaires with our idea to put screwdriver-slots in bolt-nuts, of course in the morning we realised they were already everywhere and of limited use anyway . . . lucky you can't put down a deposit on a factory at 3 a.m.!
Or, gods forbid, you actually have a conversation with your partner about what you want to watch or do...
How about if you disagree on movies, you don't watch a movie together? Go do something else that you don't disagree on. Oh wait nevermind this is supposed to be an exercise in compromise right?

4. Illegal content. Not only could this get you fired, but it may also land you on America's Stupidest Criminals. Even worse, you could be arrested if authorities see credible evidence of certain kinds of illegal activity.
5. Offensive content. Racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination should have no place in your (online) life.
6. Negative opinions about your job, employer, boss, or professor. One comment about how you hate your job could cause future employers to wonder if you really like the work you are doing or not. And a comment about your "stupid boss" could make your next conversation about the raise you were hoping to get a lot more difficult.
7. Drug-related content. Some employers may require you to pass a drug test as a hiring condition. But chances are you won't even make it that far if you post about substances publicly.

8. Poor grammar. A comma here and there is nothing but if you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're", it's time to learn. Communication, including writing, is an important part of professional life.
9. Threats. It is not OK to threaten others, no matter the situation you're in. Wishing someone ill, whether it is a friend, family member, colleague, politician, celebrity, whatever; if you don't like someone else, social media is not the place to be hurling threats of any kind.
The Internet is public. Remember that when you're posting from your personal account.

Why is your political affiliation so important to Americans? Are there no people that just don't like any of them? That think, I'll listen to what they say and vote for the person that seems to have the best ideas to me? Nobody that thinks, 'I agree with the Dems on that subject, but disagree with the other thing. And I like the Reps idea on this, but not on that'?

Truly A Yearly Highlight
When I was 7, I lost a tooth. I put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy. The next morning I found a $20 bill under my pillow. I rushed in to the kitchen and said "The tooth fairy gave me 20 bucks!!" My mother looked at my Dad and said "Wow...the tooth fairy was generous!" To which my Dad responds "Probably because it was dark and the tooth fairy couldn't see what he was pulling out of his wallet."

Its so weird how Magic Mike is literally a movie about male strippers, yet they still managed to sexualise women/treat women as somewhat of a joke (i.e. its 'funny' but not threatening to see middle-aged women losing it over male strippers), all the while still portraying the men as dominant and strong

My gf found a lost phone once, which of course was locked, and we were sitting there wondering what to do with it when it rang and it was the owner's mother. So if you lose your phone, try phoning it, as some nice person may have found it and be trying to work out how best to return in.

Chatted to a fairly new colleague at work. Told him I was very hungry, had no food, and break was 3 hours to go. He offered me his sandwich. I accepted and ate it straight away. He still recalls „the day I ate his sandwich“. Well, don‘t offer it out of courtesy if you‘re not prepared to loose it. We‘re married 10 years this year. :-)
