“Delusions Of Adequacy”: 50 Funny Posts That Are Both Brilliant And Completely Unhinged (New Pics)
There’s no shortage of hilariously chaotic content online, and thank goodness for that. From medieval meme pages to parking fail compilations, the internet always finds new ways to keep us entertained. But not everything fits into a neat little box.
That’s where the subreddit Delusions Of Adequacy comes in. It’s a corner of the web dedicated to random, funny posts about anything and everything. With no real theme or boundaries, unpredictability is part of the charm. In fact, the harder you try to explain it, the less it makes sense.
So sit back and enjoy this roundup of their best pics, and let the nonsense speak for itself.

Hmm, I Wonder What The Explanation Could Possibly Be? Xd
hi I can't pay rent, I don't drink coffee and I'm allergic to avocado now what
Not to mention the tax breaks gleefully offered by the government. Reagan's trickle down economics in '81 caused the beginning of the huge gap. Didn't work then, won't work now.
I like the guy that asked, why can't the one with $1bn get by on $900 mn and all his employees get a dental plan?
When there a million employees... an extra dollar for every employee isn't going to stop them from whining. If I sacked half the employees on the other hand ...
I wholeheartedly agree, but what popped into my mind was this line from the movie Philadelphia (1993) Joe Miller: Now, explain it to me like I'm a four-year-old. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107818/quotes?item=qt0179769

Load More Replies...Never Give Idiots Credit For Your Hard Work Xd
Funny how God gets all the credit for good things happening while anything bad is down to our 'sinful nature'.
No, they also blame bad things on "it's god's will so don't question it", the devil, & atheists / other religions

I "miraculously" overcame an ED. I have no idea how. I was a non-believer. The fact that this happened cemented my non-belief.
Biggest problem I had with AA was the higher power cr@p. Your god did absolutely nothing to stop me from @ddiction, so why would I give the SOB credit once I gained sobriety?
I'm an atheist, but I understand AA is about "higher power," which doesn't literally mean "sentient God." It can be understood to be family and friends, society, the universe, science, faith, etc. It's really about letting go of your ego, stepping outside yourself. Sort of "spiritual, not religious," and evidence suggests that it works.
Load More Replies...I'm irreligious. I don't buy into religions, and I view them with scorn.
If God exists, He would be proud of atheists, because it means they're using the free will He gave them.
You haven't read the Bible, have you? God has some rather unpleasant punishments for non-believers. There's a good reason that Dawkins calls him 'the most unpleasant character in all of fiction'.
Load More Replies...So, Delusions of Adequacy. We’ve established that we’re not quite sure what the subreddit will ever mean or be about. But that’s the point. The randomness, the unpredictability—it’s all part of the experience.
What’s clear, though, is that both its members and fans share a pretty solid sense of humor. Weird, unexplainable, maybe even a little chaotic, but definitely there.

The Good Old Days = 90% Taxes For The Rich!
But if we tax the rich then they will all leave! Bye! Good riddance! Do not let the door hit your a**e on the way out!
The censored word is "árse". Some things need to be shown in full. Although it'd be funnier if the door *did* smack 'em in the árse on the way out, just before I slapped them round the back of the head. 😉
Load More Replies...Here in Canada the mid income tax is 47%. That anyone making between 40-90k. But that money goes into healthcare, roads, tuitions, police etc.
Yep. Imagine how much more those would cost if privatized.
Load More Replies...The rich decided they didn’t much like having their power curtailed so they got together and bought the government. It wasn’t enough for them to be obscenely wealthy and be able to do whatever they wanted, they also needed to rule over us peons so we’d never be able to check their power.
We should change the money system on a whim and make everyone start from zero. Oh, you have that old PAPER money? Sorry we don't take that. We only accept wood chips now.
Load More Replies...Until Reagan drove a wedge between the rich and the not rich with his dire trickle down economics that caused an unprecedented wage gap that we still haven't overcome.
Reagan did this. This is the generational calamity that Reagan left us. Let's be clear.
And a recent analysis of the top-top richest people in the US sets their tax rate at about 24%
And they hire accountants and financial advisors to find ways to make most of their wealth untaxable.
Load More Replies...Exactly. MAGAts in particular like to hold up the 1950s as their example of when America was supposedly 'great'. That was a time of strong unions, living wages, and very very high taxes on the obscenely rich, which mostly kept them from being obscenely rich in the first place. Weird, that.
In Germany max tax is 42%, in the Netherlands 49.5%. And both countries offer affordable solid health and social care, free access to quality education and many more for their citizens. It depends on what you do with the money, too.
Load More Replies...And, it is not like they paid 90% of their entire income in taxes! They paid the same as everyone else for the first ~$100,000 (?) and only paid a higher percent tax rate(s) on the income *above* that. The media always make it seem like the tax man is taking almost everything from them. That doesn't even cover that the richest don't make their money from payroll income anyway.
"Taxing the rich" isn't as easy as it sounds, as a lot of the ultra-wealthy don't actually earn a wage, but gain their money through other means which is difficult to tax. Recently, Jeff Bezos declared in an email that he only earns $80,000 per year from Amazon, but takes stock, which when sold off isn't classed as an earning in the traditional sense. What is needed is an overhaul of the tax system to ensure that corporations pay their fair share of tax, and that the ultra-rich cannot use systems to avoid paying tax...
Obviously we need a wealth tax and an inheritance tax.

Load More Replies...You know, Kelly, I have a similar confusion. I can't understand how people, with the internet at their fingers, are so bloody stupid when it comes to not understanding socio-economic disparity. Kelly has proven, once again, that money can't buy compassion.
Or maybe some people are just happy and content as they are and don’t feel a desire to travel? We do exist 😉

You might brush it off as not that important, but it can say a lot about your personality, your outlook on life, and even the kind of content you naturally gravitate toward.

There are plenty of types of humor out there, but psychologists Rod Martin and Patricia Doris developed a solid classification of humor styles in their research.
Their framework is one of the most widely used today, breaking humor down into four main categories that help explain why we laugh at the things we do: affiliative, self-enhancing, aggressive, and self-defeating.
When You Squint Into Finland, Finland Squints Back At You!
I've always thought that humans were the only species that could disappear and the planet would be enriched for it. Humans being my least favorite animal. But hatred? No, that began in 2016 and continues to build in strength.

Mulkvisti is also like d******d but not literally, it would be munapää. And boyfriend is "poikaystävä" in finnish, try to say that lol
Funny, but not really true. Mulkvisti means loosely "a**hole" and we don't call out spouses that. (I'm a Fin.)
The Question Isn't Whether Rich People Are Evil Or Not. Only If They Became Evil Because They Got Rich, Or If They Got Rich Because They Were Evil
Good point. The Donald (I mean "the orange rápist" thx, Forrest) is now dissolving union rights from Federal workers' groups he has a beef with. Only the rich and in charge will have power. Wish prayer had an actual effect, because I would be asking the entire world to pray for us.
I think you mean "the orange rápist". "The Donald" is a nickname the orange rápist gave himself. This is the *real* "The Donald" if you ask me: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-28308864 (Unseen Donald Campbell speed record footage restored)
Load More Replies...The reason it's okay for the rich to go away when they're threatened with tax is that the rich generally make things worse. If they won't pay a fair share towards running the country, we're better off without them. Meanwhile: striking is a human right and of course it's perfectly okay for workers to go on strike. I live in Europe - perhaps that explains my views?
It's as if low-wage earners have Stockholm Syndrome (like the women who were anti-voting rights). If only they would all strike on the same week, coast to coast, crippling the country to prove they are the essential workers who keep this country chugging along.
Simple. The rich run the country, and the things the low wage workers produce is part of how the rich make their money. So you will shut up and work harder to help them increase what they make from your efforts. [mumble mumble first against the wall mumble]
Oh, easy solution. Pay the new taxes or we take half your s**t when you leave. See if we have any takers.
its perfectly legal for people to go on strike. what planet do you live on?
Okay, Then What Does That Mean For Nationalism? It's Unsafe To Be Anyone? Xd
Had a conservative woman tell me after I explained why requiring all citizens to pay into Obama Care makes it less expensive for everyone (long ago), "I don't like talking to you - you make too much sense." *sigh*

Load More Replies...Oh, the good doctor would get cancelled in splitseconds today. My favorite writer, never, not once dissapointed me but he was not exactly a role model for how to treat women 😬
It always amazed me how he could take engineering and biology across time and space, but his women, where they even appear, got no further than the 1950s in a small part of earth. I like to think if he'd been born say two generations later, his consciousness might have been raised. But that may be wishful thinking on my part.
Load More Replies...It think its more a kakistocracy spurred on by an oligarchic kleptocracy
Load More Replies...My very conservative BIL once criticized me for using words HE didn't have in his vocabulary. Therefore I was "talking down to him". Go figure.
How am I supposed to know what words you don't have in your vocabulary if I don't say them to you, to find out if you understand?
Load More Replies...If only he were alive today. *sigh". Of course Elon Mush would have fired him already. 😥 Yes, I realize I spelled "Musk" wrong but I like my way better. 😁
It's never been a secret, but no matter the time period or the country, when there's a coup (be it f@scist or otherwise), the first people rounded up for extermination or expulsion are the intellectuals.
So let’s take a closer look at what each of these actually means.
Affiliative humor is all about connection. It’s the kind of humor people use to bring others together. Think lighthearted jokes, funny observations, or memes you send just to make someone else’s day.
Communities built on random posts often thrive on this: the sense that you’re all in on the same bizarre joke, even if it makes no sense outside that context.
Your Mind Is The Only Thing You Really Own
I've always found it darkly hilarious that "Fahrenheit 451" is one of the ones most frequently placed on lists of banned books.

The mind is the only thing you really own? Maybe read 1984 before that's banned too :')...
Sure, I'm here on BP looking at pet photos, but the number of scientific digital subscriptions I receive daily keep me in the loop. Instead of wasting time watching not-really-Reality shows, try reading something stimulating. Brains need exercise, too.
And inbetween, maybe watch that two-parter from nineties TV show The New Adventures of Superman, where a conviced felon cons his way to presidency using mind control, purposefully selects the worst goons he can find as ministers and proclaims to make This Country Great Again. You could alsway claim it was because of the title character's actor who nowadays has taken to rant loudly against wokeness.

But then they wouldn’t have a reason to complain
Load More Replies...So... according to Google, here is a summary of what I call; 'The Incel Idiot Indoctrination of Infancy Information': "Alpha, Beta, and Sigma" are terms describing perceived male social dynamics, where an alpha is a dominant leader, a beta is a collaborative follower or subordinate, and a sigma is an independent lone wolf who bypasses the social hierarchy. These terms originated in animal ethology but are now a popular, though scientifically criticized, framework in internet culture for categorizing human personalities, especially within the "manosphere". ALPHA: Confident, outgoing, a charismatic leader, enterprising. A macho man, but aggressive with it. BETA: Friendly, reserved, loyal, collaborative. The quintessential “Nice Guy” no one wants to be. His default state? Submissive. GAMMA: Adventurous, eager, aware, empathetic. Thinks big but can lack focus. Can be clingy in relationships. DELTA: Resentful, blaming, self-sabotaging. A victim of life. SIGMA: Likeable and confident, but cunning and calculating. The cold assassin you didn’t see coming. OMEGA: The creature outsider. Self-reliant, prefers to remain independent of social groups or hierarchies. Driven and intelligent but has little impulse to compete or conform. Gains strength from being alone.
Self-enhancing humor is more inward-looking. People with this style use laughter as a way to stay positive and resilient, even when life isn’t going their way.
That’s part of the appeal of chaotic internet content, it can turn a stressful day into something easier to cope with, just by making you laugh at the absurdity of it all.

Speaking of angry strangers, I left a nice YT comment on Neil Young's most recent single, Big Crime. Most responded with equal compliments, except one a-hole who had to go on Neil Young's YT channel and post a disparaging comment under mine. Why, angry little man? Why would you go on the site of someone you distain and leave such a response?
A message from beyond. I always take random messages like this seriously.
I was saying sth to a psychiatrist about my a*****e parents and started, 'As a child of my parents-' and she interrupted me to yell at me that I'm not a child anymore and start acting like an adult. I should have told her, 'Ok, you first'. A bit of empathy and understanding fixes problems, acting like an idiot does the opposite.

I still remember that comedian whose whole shtick was rednecks; my sister urged me to watch him. While I didn’t find him funny, I learned that my immediate family was entirely composed of true rednecks. (I’ll never forget about hearing him say that we might be rednecks if our dog was a blue tick, because it was. Couldn’t wiggle out of being a redneck no way, no how. 😞)
Load More Replies...Aggressive humor sharpens the edge. It can show up as sarcasm, roasts, or jokes that push boundaries.
Online, this often overlaps with the kind of content that makes you laugh and cringe at the same time.

What does a puppy have in common with a short sighted gynaecologist? A wet nose.
Oh, you will never believe this: I used to work at a vets. Cat comes in for castration. I phone owner to tell her that her boy is a girl. She says "but my husband is a gynacologist". I say (with total honesty) "yes madam, he's also my gynacologist". It's not rocket science; testicles or no testicles!
My friend's wife had a gynecologist who was still seeing a few patients even when he was in his mid-70's. He said he had thought about retiring but wanted to keep a hand in it.
Reminds me of the story of the older lady who got ready for her appointment at her daughter's house and decided to use some Femfresh. The gynae said, "Fancy!" with a smile as he examined her. She thanked him and everything proceeded as usual. When she got back to her daughter's house, she went to the bathroom and realised that, without her glasses, she'd picked up the wrong spray can and had liberally applied body glitter.
A "brown eye" joke suggests itself but discretion and good taste prevail.
Where Else Would It Be?
No matter which style resonates with you, laughter has benefits that go far beyond entertainment.
Research shows it can lower stress, strengthen relationships, and even boost physical health. So if scrolling through unpredictable posts gives you the giggles, consider it more than just a guilty pleasure, it’s actually good for you.

Why Is This So Accurate? Xd
This is so accurate mostly for two reasons: modern TV sets mostly have terrible built-in audio; and modern directors don't think that the audience needs to hear the dialogue. Then there's the issue of movies being badly converted from 5.1 surround sound to stereo. *AND* the other issue that cheapskate TV bosses often think programme makers don't really need proper sound engineers any more. I'm looking at you, BBC. I can follow dialogue from old films and TV shows perfectly well. Modern stuff? Much less so.
You try to turn it up and then the next explosion destroys your eardrums
Load More Replies...I don’t think that’s it (well, for me it’s not). About 90% of the stuff I watch is subtitled, and I need to keep turning it up in order to hear inflection, because how am I to know whether the character is being sarcastic/rude/mean/etc if I can’t hear the intonations? But yeah, I also wanna hear what’s coming out of their mouths because I study several languages and it’s helpful to hear the dialogue in the ones I study, too.
Load More Replies...I've had captions on for years; even with hearing aids I can't make out much of the dialog. Several years ago I bought a Zvox AV157 soundbar - it processes the sound to boost *and clarify* voice and reduce background sound. If I remember correctly, it can be set to one of about a dozen settings. I have it on the lowest or second-lowest setting and it works beautifully. Much, much better than the surround-sound we used to use. It does make it sound funny to other people though. Even a few steps further it'll sound funny to me - but it's *much* easier to understand dialog. I have no relationship with the company except as a customer (and the company is in Massachusetts, as am I). Well worth checking out.
Oooh! Thanks for the recommendation, Jay! I’m definitely gonna be saving up for that! About a year ago, I accidentally left subtitles on for an English movie and was aghast when I saw things like “ominous music plays,” “kids in the backyard shouting,” “car pulls into driveway,” etc and was horrified to discover I COULDN’T HEAR ANY OF THOSE! Now I leave the subtitles on all the time and get to read about what I apparently cant hear. 😰

I will only do these, if ordered to do so, for which, I will require the company to compensate me for by paying me for my time or adding to my PTO. I will absolutely refuse to be promoted in title only. I will absolutely be using my available sick, personal, vacation, and holiday days, when needed or wanted. And finally, I will most definitely not go the "extra mile for the company", if they have proven that are definitely not willing to go "the extra mile" for their employees, equally. Full Stop.

Unfortunately, we also have fewer pitchforks than mediaeval peasants... Mind you, I've got some fairly pointy gardening tools... 😉
Load More Replies...That is not really accurate. On those holidays, the peasants only did not have to do work for their masters (e.g. till their masters' fields). They still had to till their own fields, harvest their own crops, feed their own livestock, milk their own cows, make their own cheese, etc etc etc.
Isn't that similar to how we have to take care of things on our days off? Errands and cleaning house?
Load More Replies...This meme needs to die. I may have more "work days" than medieval peasants, but I don't have to work sunup to sundown in the fields; I get to spend my holidays doing what I please rather than attending another church service; I don't have to hand over half of my livelihood to my landlord; I have a significantly smaller chance of dying from plague; and I can read.
Have you even paid rent recently? You are still handing over half your livelihood to your landlord. Or maybe again. We do seem to be regressing
Load More Replies...Peasants worked two days a week for the Lord of the Manor. The rest of their time was there's to do what they wanted with. If they didn't grow their own food then they starved.
And the current President, has stated that he believes that we have TOO MANY! That the workers really do not want that many days off. Let that sink in.

Load More Replies...Nestle Is What Boycotts Are For!
100% Stopped drinking the lemon soda I like after realising it was owned by Nestlö. And nothing else also..
Load More Replies...Here is the rundown; Nestlé was the subject of an international boycott for its aggressive and unethical marketing of infant formula in developing countries during the 1970s and 80s. Studies estimate that Nestlé's predatory practices led to approximately 10.9 million excess infant deaths between 1960 and 2015. The controversy resulted from several unethical practices: The "milk nurses": Nestlé hired saleswomen dressed as nurses to promote their formula in hospitals and homes, creating the illusion that it was a medically superior option to breastfeeding. Discouraging breastfeeding: By giving out free formula samples, Nestlé caused mothers' natural milk supply to dry up. Families who could not afford to continue buying formula were then left with no alternative. Unsanitary conditions: In low- and middle-income countries, many families lacked access to clean water or sterilization equipment. The formula, when mixed with contaminated water or diluted to make it last longer, became a deadly source of infection and malnutrition. The lasting impact of the controversy; 1977 Boycott: In response to the growing outrage, health advocacy groups launched an international boycott of Nestlé products. It lasted for years and eventually forced the company to adopt the World Health Organization's International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes in 1984. Ongoing monitoring: Though the company now claims to comply with WHO guidelines, groups like the International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN) continue to monitor and report on Nestlé's alleged violations. The "death toll" study: In 2018, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) published a study quantifying the effect of formula marketing on infant mortality. Researchers estimated that Nestlé's market entry in developing countries was associated with an increase in infant deaths, totaling about 10.9 million over 55 years.
Thanks for that information Cap'n, I didn't realize the number was so appallingly high.
Load More Replies...Back in the day, it was fairly easy to boycott a product and make a similar purchase with another brand. But with todays' mega conglomerations where the company that manufactures sanitary towels also makes frozen dinners, it's becoming nearly impossible.
I know I’ve been surprised to find out that a company I think is decent is a wholly owned subsidiary of a nasty company. I tend to not buy run-of-the-mill products but sometimes shıt happens. I take a ton of meds and almost intentionally don’t track the ownership of them because I have to take them.

Kid Rock makes music for people who know firsthand if making love to a chicken feels like making love to a squirrel.

Jeez don’t get me started on our “IT” department at work…..who are outsourced to India. I’m in the UK so they teams you at 3am expecting you to be logged on.
Or if you wanted to get really frustrated with the stupidity of humanity, you could WORK in tech support. "Two left clicks on the icon, ma'am. Left click twice. LEFT CLICK TWICE. LEFT! CLICK! TWICE! On the icon! The little picture. No, it's not a false religion, it's just called that. Okay, I'm putting in my notes that you are too stupid to be in your position and recommending your boss just fire your stupid butt."
Trouble with that is you can't get ahold of tech support. You get this crappy music and an AI that keeps asking the same questions over and over.

False. An octopus will punch a fish if it thinks it's slacking or cheating during cooperative hunts, or if they're interfering with their meal.
How do we really know that the octopus had no reason for punching?
Actually saw a video of an octopus doing that .. It was hilarious you laugh even harder when you think what might of been going through the fish and octopuse's mind
Any sea creature that can make its own garden to hide its lair is smart and should be allowed to vote.

Mmm... People are brought up to be greedy - some, at least. The bear is persuaded to ride the bike; people are persuaded that greed is good (etc).
Load More Replies...We need to consider that we all should teach our children that greed is bad.
Greed is human nature. Capitalism is a system set up and endorsed by....greedy humans. Hunh .
Actually, greed isn't human nature, but for that proof, you need to go way back in time to when matriarchal societies ruled. Socialist or communal behavior was the way until some dude came up with the concept of capitalism.
Riley Quinn: the problem is that we have no certainty about human societies before written records began, and also no certainty *after* written records began because people lie. Still, existing hunter-gatherer societies do seem to show that humans are naturally co-operative, and archaeological evidence shows that even in far prehistory, old and injured people were cared for by others even when they couldn't survive by themselves. "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs" is, I recall, one of the central tenets of Communism and also seems to be a natural tendency in human beings. Thing is, we're also incredibly violent and selfish at times... 🤷

"It is important for me to convert you to my belief system, because that will confirm that I am right. And then I am able to assume that whatever I do, in the name of my religion, is right, even though my religion actually forbids it. Because you are not worthy of being treated like a person unless you think the same things I think and believe and act the same way I do."
Organized religion is the biggest scam ever perpetrated on humanity. Did Jesus ask for money?
Yoou don't need to have religion to wish a hell for some people. Just invent one with utterly appropriate punishments for their crimes.
Then it becomes, "Go to church. No, seriously, go to church. I don't want you to wind up in hell with me."
Gotta used with to is redundant since gotta means got to. Truth is that the one with the most toys wins while the rest of us continue to live in the hell they created.

Load More Replies...They aren’t convinced because it’s in their economic interest to not be convinced
Irony: When 'Big Oil" says the reason for high fuel prices is high commodity prices, yet they earn RECORD profits.
Here's part of the (vastly simplified) math at work here.. Suppose you price your product at 25% over cost. If the cost is $80, you increase it by 25% to $100, giving you a profit of $20. If the cost goes up to $100, you increase the price by 25% to $125, profiting $25. Hey, you made more money because costs went up. This illustrates why wages don't keep up with inflation but profits do.
Load More Replies...Of course it's caused by humans. What other animal would pollute their own environment to this extent?

Elon, the white South African who sat "peacefully" by as violent apartheid raged through the country while his family benefited from apartheid’s racial hierarchy. I'm capable of violence, Elon. Hope I never get word from my doctor that I only have a few months to live.
I really get uncomfortable reading something I agree with by someone I hate.
He's wrong. Everyone is capable of violence. We chose not to do so. (Unless he's not talking about people but toddlers or daisies - in that case he's just being horribly redundant). This is what Daniel Dennett called a "deepism" - a thought that sounds deep but isn't upon closer inspection.
