We used to communicate face-to-face by writing letters or picking up a big, bulky telephone. Nowadays, billions of people have access to a tiny keyboard, mobile data, and the ability to type whatever they want and hit “send,” without properly thinking it through.
Text messaging has opened up a world of instant miscommunication, chaos, drama and comedy gold. For every “I trust this email finds you well” is an unhinged text that somehow got lost in translation, was written without context or common sense, and never expected to find its way into the public domain.
Thanks to the nifty screenshot function, the internet has blessed us with unlimited opportunities to read other people’s once-private text messages in all their hilarious glory. Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the best ones for you to scroll through while your notifications are muted. Don’t forget to upvote your favorites.

im vegetarian have been for 20 years, my mouth still waters sometimes smelling meat cook and im not ashamed of that i make the choice i do not because meat isnt delish...this derision towards people making choices that dont hurt others, in fact helps others is a symptom of a problem that led us to elect a Monster, a person lacking all humanity, a parasite to be president of the u.s.

I also need to know everything. To set your bùtthòle on fire once may be considered misfortune. To set your bùtthòle on fire twice sounds like carelessness.

Iirc, the owner of the dog is the other persons neighbor. And for some reason I don’t recall, when the neighbor gets drunk, his anxiety goes off the charts. But he’s absolutely in love with this dog so the dogs owner set up a system where all this guy has to do is ask and the owner will send the guy a candid shot of the dog. The dog photo solution seems to be working so far

Reminds me of that one guy who was constantly trying to "save" me and was excited and annoying whenever I was in a church. Including for my grandmother's burial. But I'm also often in churches because I'm a tour guide, and I just love stained glasses. The fact that it didn't lead me to convert was, according to him, bc my historically catholic-leaning country had corrupted my soul or whatever. Became old real quick.

First sentence: “We used to communicate face-to-face by writing letters or picking up a big, bulky telephone”. No… face-to-face is talking to someone in person. That’s why it’s called face-to-face.
I've seen so many of these before right here on BP. Do the contributors not read the posts on the site they work for? Does BP not even read their own posts?
no, they are an aggregate site, making money off gobbling up and regurgitating reddit slop
