We've come a long way since the days of smoke signals and homing pigeons. 98% of Americans own a mobile phone. Five billion people worldwide send and receive text messages. Texting is actually one of the most commonly used forms of communication in the world, second to phone calls.

Hearing that beep and reading a text can elicit a range of emotions. Anger, confusion, happiness, relief, excitement, sadness and sometimes, extreme amusement. Have you ever received a text so hilarious you just had to screenshot and share it? I know I have.

With billions of texts sent every day, there's bound to be an endless supply of side-splitting screenshots. Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the funniest, as shared by r/me_irl and r/ComedyHeaven. We also took a trip back in time to find out where texting began and how it's managed to stand the test of time.

    20+ years of therapy down the drain...shame on you boredpanda for exposing me to that bad bad word and giving me ptsd! Added: I very rarely (as in almost never) write comments or anything online. Had a very bad experience, but all the upvotes and positive remarks makes me question myself, in a very good way. Thx everyone
