Pictures that lack context become open to various interpretations. Some may laugh out loud, while others may relate on a deeper level, and a few may make you want to cringe.
Looking at this list of images may leave you feeling all three emotions. And while some of them may not make total sense at first glance, you will eventually realize how relatable they actually are.
Go ahead and scroll through. Hopefully, this serves as the pick-me-up you didn’t know you needed today.

What’s so funny about this? I think the same thing and I’m totally serious!

These photos may be random, but many of them may be relatable enough to make you feel seen. Author and cognitive behavioral therapist Shala Nicely, LPC, describes validation as a “basic human need” rooted in evolutionary principles.
“If your tribe didn’t see you, there was a risk you’d be left behind when the nomadic life of early humans dictated they move, and being alone equated to death,” Nicely wrote.
Meanwhile, some people will likely find these photos hilarious. They may even share it around with people they know and find more enjoyment in that collective experience.
That’s because laughter in the presence of others is an indicator that it is a “safe” interaction, according to researcher Christopher Oveis of the University of California, San Diego.
“The use of laughter may free individuals to display dominance because laughter renders the act less serious,” Oveis and his team of researchers concluded.
However, there might be a few photos on this list that induce cringe and awkward laughs. It may be because it’s not your type of humor, or it may be a somewhat touchy subject presented in a lighthearted and humorous manner.
If you did pull back even the slightest bit, you’re likely feeling some secondhand embarrassment. According to marketing expert and psychology professor Janina Steinmetz, this usually occurs when someone attempts to make a positive impression but fails.

And just like with funny posts, those that elicit a collective cringe reaction also create a sense of community. As Steinmetz stated, it makes us feel like we “know the social rules” that the person guilty of supposedly embarrassing behavior seems oblivious to.
“We get to roll our eyes together with others and feel like we’re all in the know and wouldn’t commit a social faux pas like the one we’re sharing,” Steinmetz explained.

Now, we’d like to know how you felt about this list, dear readers. Were they relatable enough for you to identify with? Did they make you laugh? Or, did they make you cringe? Share your sentiments in the comments below!

I'm off to find an alternative website that doesn't cover it's own content with every changing ads that make the user experience absolutely horrible. Oh, look. It just happened again. You've gone from a website that posts funny stuff and uses ads to support itself to a website that serves ads and uses funny stuff to get people to view those ads.

Agreed! Please let me know when you found the alternative website!
