“Internet Gold”: 50 Times People Came Across Something So Hilarious or Unusual, They Just Had to Screenshot it
Saw a funny meme? Screenshot. An uncanny coincidence of something on your phone? Screenshot. Can’t believe what Jennifer just posted? Screenshot, screenshot, screenshot!
One can summon the finger combination needed to save an image on a screen nearly instantaneously. That just goes to show how much of an automatic action it has become. It allows us to share images with people and avoid the need for long explanations or descriptions that might suck the fun out of certain situations. (Kind of like when you have to explain a joke.)
The images from the r/screenshots subreddit sure need no description. Ranging from funny snippets of conversations to comical layouts, these gems speak for themselves. Scroll down for Bored Panda’s list of some of Reddit’s finest or check out these screenshots of Tinder conversations likely to be equally as amusing.

This Is Needed!
Screenshots cater to people in numerous ways. They can work like pages of a notebook with reminders of places to visit or events to check out. Sometimes they become your assortment of jokes (that you have seen, liked, and borrowed) for the next time you’re trying to impress a bunch of friends with your wit. From time to time, you might even use screenshots to prove your point in a discussion or spread the news about something.
These are only a few instances that prove how convenient it is to be able to take pictures of your screen. In addition to that, it allows you to do so on nearly any application or website. Taking a screenshot is sometimes the only possible way to copy or save information.

Saving information in a screenshot is undoubtedly very convenient. However, it is worth remembering that, in certain cases, it might not go unnoticed. Certain applications inform the author of whatever it is that you’re taking a picture of, so you don’t go screenshotting and sharing others’ information without their knowledge.
This often happens with pictures shared in private messages. Some applications—Instagram or Snapchat, for instance—alert the sender if the recipient takes a screenshot of a picture they’ve sent.
It Be Like That
This sentence is against Nature . . . it took me ten minutes to figure it out . . .
Load More Replies...I think that it’s cause our circadian rhythms have been thrown off so much by our phones and daylight savings time. And now they signed a bill to make daylight savings time permanent 🤦
in my case it was college. Starting on 5th semester my classes were in the afternoon. I tried doing homework in the morning, but I'd either forget about it or if I had doubts no one was online, so I had to do all my homework and study before going to sleep after arriving from college. So I would normally go to bed at 3:00AM and then wake up at 10:00AM. It worked for the rest of my career, but when I graduated and had to get a job, I could never readjust to being a "morning person". So here I am, 7 years later, still struggling because college changed my circadian rhythm.
Load More Replies...My problem is at night I never want to go to bed and in the morning I never want to get up
And if water tasted as good in daytime as it does at 3 am when you wake up for no reason.
It would be nice if changing your schedule to match your sleep and energy cycle was as easy as it sounds.
Well some of us don't seem to fit in with rules of nature. Some of us have both difficulty going to sleep and difficulty waking up. That's nature!
I think it's called getting enough sleep... Legend has it, some people have that gift
For me, it's being slammed with fatigue after lunch. Just lunch. Never breakfast or supper. The type of lunch doesn't matter. But the postprandial fatigue zaps me with such force I can barely sit up. I wish I was THAT tired at bedtime.
Also as hungry as you are at night in the morning and as blah about eating at night as you are in the morning
I know a few people like that, but I'm pretty sure they are not human
I am that person, be careful what you wish for. It is 5:56am right now. It is Sunday.
Owned a restaurant years ago and next to time clock I put a sign " If you want to see the dead come alive be at this place at closing time "
That's how it is for me, I'm tired at bedtime, and wide awake in the morning, no coffee needed. All it took, for me, was a consistent sleep schedule. I go to bed at roughly the same time each night(even on weekends and holidays) and wake up at roughly the same time every morning. I'm usually mostly awake or wide awake when my alarm goes off. It only took a few days for my body to adjust. It happened because my workouts had plateaued and I found advice saying that consistent sleep and proper diet are pivotal to getting the most out of your workouts. Won't work for everyone, because they just don't want to live like that - or they have responsibilities that make it impossible.
If I could be as tired at 10pm as I am at 3pm, and as awake at 8am as I am at 4am, I would be unstoppable. I might even get a job, who knows, the skys the limit.
I came screaming into this world at night so it only makes sense I'm a night person and more awake then.
Yup. I'm exhausted all day and then the sun goes down and suddenly I'm not sleepy at all. Frustrating!
Wait till you reach 50. I have all my energy at 5 am to 2 pm. After that, I'm pooped.
Sorry, the Brain Service cannot provide those convenient time changes. However, you can receive random nighttime productivity and daytime crashes if you would like!

The likelihood of your content being screenshotted is never zero. That is why it is extremely important to evaluate everything you want to share online before doing so. Once it goes live, there is no way to delete it.
Even if you remove the content from your profile, someone somewhere might have already saved their screen with your statements on it, and it’s up to them now whether to share it or not. That might create a chain reaction and your content might end up being shared even if it was online just for a mere minute.

Well, Reddit?
Screenshots often work great as proof in certain situations. Everything said and done can be saved as a picture, which often states names, dates, locations, and other useful information. Whether it works for your own good or dooms you for your behavior, it encourages people to take responsibility for their actions.

It is not only such data as names, dates, and content that might be useful in certain cases. Screenshots provide important metadata as well, which allows people to delve deeper into specific situations if needed.
For instance, accessing the metadata of screenshots using specific tools provides more information and context on when the content was shared, seen, etc. It can work as evidence and help while solving crime or analyzing misconduct.

With the current rate of technological advancement, screenshots are becoming a universal data format that can be relatively easily analyzed with the help of machine learning.

Reddit Is Meta Again
Okk
Advancements in technology can also ease the process of data entry. With the optical character recognition (OCR) process, it is possible to extract the text, numbers, and other information provided in the screenshot and save time as there is no need to enter the data manually.

Another interesting application of AI is using it to classify website screenshots. The Urlbox team developed a model that classifies screengrabs at nearly 99% accuracy, which can later be analyzed to help ameliorate the user experience.

It still bugs me that they used "your" instead of "you're" in the title.

Screenshot-related technology was also developed by a team of interns at Microsoft. They used AI to create a tool that allows them to retrieve image intelligent insights just from a screenshot alone.

I Can’t Even Begin
Screenshotting can undoubtedly be fun and useful, however, it is important to think about what should be shared and what’s better kept to yourself. A lot of information is already readily available to the public, such as Jennifer’s post in the chat room or some pictures on social media. But some people screenshot texts and other private content, which should not be shared with the vast majority.
I Mean Technically He's Right
That's When You Know They Have Lost It
Oh My God
How many times have you scrolled your phone and stumbled upon something rather unusual or entertaining? Unusual enough to require a screenshot for others to believe (pics or it didn’t happen!) or so entertaining that it’s definitely worth creating an email chain about. This only proves that some screenshots speak louder than a thousand words.
