There's a fine line between mocking and bullying. But when said and delivered the right way, a burn can be a wonderful comedic moment. The citizens of the Internet can be masters of trolling, and their retorts can be particularly creative.
There's a page on Facebook that collects such funny posts from all over the internet titled "Mocking people in a voice they don't even have." If you're a fan of people giving others a reality check or mocking themselves in a self-deprecating manner, these posts might just be for you!

What on earth would deodorant have to do with patriarchy? Nobody wants to stink or smell someone else's body odour
I think that irrelevacy was included to make the claim even more absurd.
Load More Replies...If thats the case, then hail to the patriarchy. I have two teenagers in my house. If you stand downwind of them, lifting up their arms could knock out a bull moose.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Poor you, and poor them! Body odour depends on a lot of things, apart from hygiene: hormones, diet, level of activity, anxiety, the kind of clothes you wear... For some people, it's difficult to keep it under control, even if they have a shower every day. I hope it doesn't harm their self-esteem.
Load More Replies...IDK my son and his friends all used the vile Axe spray not sure if sweat would not have been more preferrable
Body odor is the result of our bodies evolving to one set of conditions and then changing the conditions. As our ancestors lost body hair, it remained in places like the armpits both for protection, but also to trap chemicals that were important for communication. However, when humans started wearing clothes, which was highly beneficial, it meant that the stuff that was outside, and likely was cleaned pretty often, was now covered, trapping humidity and dead skin, and also not cleaned as often, However, yes, humans have become far more squeamish about natural smells and tastes. We are raised in relatively sterile environments and taught to overreact to any odor which is not neutral or smells "good". So between living lives that make us smell more and being less tolerant of smells, deodorants are both needed AND overused.
I had sinus issues as a kid and struggled to breath through my nose or smell anything. As an adult, I had surgery and medications that allow me to do both. I now find smells overpowering - body odor, perfume, anything... once, I yelled downstairs to my wife asking if she was cooking and she said no. I then said it smelled like boiling water - she was boiling water.
Actually, I’d seen a whole thing on this. It wasn’t necessarily ‘created to solve a fake problem’ since it came about when people were becoming more focused on hygiene and cleanliness. But the way it was marketed towards women absolutely was built on shaming women because of their bodies. It’s not so much about the creation of deodorant but the marketing. The thing is, it’s that sometimes, body odor can alert us to certain health issues and using deodorant covers it up and delays detection especially for ‘feminine hygiene’.

Making fun of yourself can be healthy. We all might need a reality check sometimes, to keep our arrogance intact, and a self-deprecating joke might be the best medicine for that. Scientific research also shows that we tend to like people who can crack a joke about themselves from time to time.
A 2017 Japanese study revealed that self-deprecating humor was "perceived as socially desirable" and that we favor people who use such humor. On the other hand, if we know self-deprecating jokesters closely, we're more likely to think that the jokes are coming from an insecure place and they lack self-confidence.
Reminds me of my first day of high school. The teacher was going through roll call, and was saying things like "oh, I taught your mother" or "I remember your father. Good student". Then it came to my name, and she asked me my mother's name. When I told she said "Ah, she and I were classmates!" So, it seems my parents were old .
That sounds awfully expensive. How many diapers are there in one box? How much is the average price per diaper in the US? Then again, my childfree-life might be showing and it's the normal price-range... Edit: I just checked. Holy moly! It's basically the same in Germany as in the US, and the average price of a diaper is 0,22 €/$ - and in total, until the child is potty-trained, a family will have to pay up to 2500 $ for diapers !! O.o Seriously - puts the "5000$ for a child"-idea of trump in funny perspective...
Where TH do you get Huggies/Luvs for $22.00. My sons are in their 30's and we couldn't get them for that when they wore them!
When we think of friends, most of us associate them with laughter. Having a similar sense of humor is important in friendships, as 82% of young people deem sense of humor as an important quality in an ideal friend. In fact, it's the most important trait for youngsters aged 10-17, above honesty and kindness.
At work, self-deprecating jokes might be useful if you're a leader. A 2016 study found that employees associate a leader's sense of humor to their effectiveness. If a manager or boss is able to laugh at themselves, the subordinates are more likely to trust them.

There's something about humor that makes us automatically think the person is more confident. Even when a joke doesn't land or is deemed inappropriate, we still view the teller as a confident person.
Researchers tested this out with Swiss tourism ad announcers. When they included a little joke in the advertisement, the audience rated the announcer who said the joke as being more confident and competent than a serious one. Some even thought he was the leader.

Self-deprecating humor might illicit automatic trust in people because it requires vulnerability. "People who tend to use self-deprecating humor effectively are quite humble and self-aware," clinical psychologist Natalie Dattilo says. "For me, it is not making fun of yourself; it is taking yourself, or the situation that you’re in, less seriously."
Thanks, I'd rather take the diamond shower on Jupiter - seems like a faster way to go
Earth-Like in this context means a similar size to Earth, has a rocky surface, and is in the habitable zone of its star. (This definition comes from Space.com) The weather of a planet doesn't really change the definition.
When the rain is made of lava then the weather is an important factor in the equation.
Load More Replies...I know that "Earth-like" probably means that it's in the Goldilocks zone, has a similar size to Earth, is made of similar elements to Earth, etc, but a lava-raining planet is absolutely not Earth-like

But self-deprecating jokes don't always land. They almost always come with a certain kind of risk. Sometimes, people perceive people who use self-deprecating humor as attention seekers. "Somebody might be using what sounds like humor, but what it's drawing from us is sympathy," Natalie Dattilo, clinical psychologist, explains. "It may also be a little off-putting on the receivers."
Missing the second part. "Do you think it was appropriate?" "Very much so."

Self-deprecation also thrives in some cultures more than in others. Dattilo points out that in the Western world, where individualism is the norm, we look for relatability and approachability in people. A person being vulnerable and using self-deprecating jokes is therefore almost instantly more relatable.
Service people get paid to deal with bad attitudes. You leave the attitude, most of the time they pass the savings to you.
Had one work like that as well. Pled to the county clerk the wording on my property tax bill 'may' be assessed a late fee. I said " I prefer the late fee not be assessed"..it wasn't, but the wording on the tax bill changed the next year. Ya take your wins where you can get them.
I've won three parking ticket reversals by leading with, "I'm an idiot and..." It has the advantage of being true!
I didn't get many parking tickets in college, but I successfully appealed every one of them to the three-student appeals board, two of which were my brother and my girl friend.
I once paid a parking ticket with acorns. I had polished them and had them in my pocket. When I offered them to the nice officer, he took them and tore up the ticket.
One time I got a ticket for parking on the no parking side of the street during a blizzard that dumped two feet. They cleaned off my windshield to write me a ticket. There was literally no place else to park. My car was snow plow buried. So I called the Office of the Mayor and lit into them. They said just drop the ticket off and we will take care of it. Never know when it will work...

Actually, I kinda feel like a bowl of cereal that’s been sitting out for a few hours. Good call 👍🏻
However, in other cultures, self-deprecating humor can be different. In societies where there's an emphasis on community, making fun of yourself isn't as frowned upon as it may sometimes be in the West. "It's the same way in which you'd would poke fun at your sibling," Dattilo says. "It's good-natured, and it's not meant to cause ill or harm."

Indeed. I expected every comment to be about this.
Load More Replies...Two. If the sandwich has a tendency to floppiness it's better to cut it to increase rigidity. If the sandwich is for a small child it's better to cut into squares (which are less floppy) so that if/when they drop it, only a quarter of the sandwich is lost.

What are some ways to balance self-deprecation? Experts at Talkspace suggest these four strategies:
- Learn to say 'thank you' and take credit for your hard work.
- Don't encourage other people to use self-deprecating humor.
- Leave self-deprecating jokes for interactions with family and friends, not at work.
- Reframe your negative patterns through journaling.

Obviously you have never had a cat. Photo is harmless to you.

Here's a decent plot. Telescopes have identified an alien artifact in deep space, tumbling unguided towards Earth. It will reach us in 3 months and it's calculated trajectory will impact just off the coast of California (convenient for filming), inside US waters. A couple weeks later satellite images show China emptying all the water from the 3 Gorges Dam, in a hurry that causing mass destruction in their own country. The military is perplexed, but then some smart woman realizes the Chinese are shaving time off the Earth's rotation. It only adds a few seconds a day (exaggerated numbers for movie magic), but by the time the artifact arrives, it will put the impact sight in international waters, so the US can't claim it. Massive naval stand off ensues. Other nations find out and the plot thickens.

It's still a lot, but I'll pay $5 to $15 per ticket, get a $10 pop corn that we all share and the kids split a $7 drink. Plus after the 25% off , I then pay with gift cards I buy from Costco for 20% off. Best case 3 of us can go for under $30. Worst case it's 8 of us and expensive tickets and it might be $100. It's all about knowing every possible discount and stacking them!

I get cinemas apparently have to charge that much to make money but have to wonder if the business model will last for much longer. I can't even remember the last time I went.
Its because the movie company takes all the ticket money. The theater makes all its money from concessions. This model is unsustainable but movie companies dont care.
Load More Replies...When I was a kid, my mom would give me and my sister $5 to go to the movies. After tickets, popcorn, drinks, and candy, we'd come home with change. So I saw a lot of movies. Now, for me and my wife to go to the discount matinee, popcorn, drinks and tickets is easily $50. I am much more selective about what movies I go to, maybe going twice a year. Just not willing to spend that kind of money to give a movie a chance, I have to know I'm going to really like it first.
Am I the only one who uses a humongous purse to smuggle food into a movie?
Nope. I even bring a humongous coat to hang over my arm with the bag hidden underneath it.
Load More Replies...My wife & I pay around $24/mo USD (each), and can watch up to 4 movies per week. A single IMAX ticket would be around $20, so it's a significant savings. We average 2-3 movies weekly.
I like the colour blue, I like cold toast and I nearly died in a car crash 🤷♀️
I like blue, I like warm toast, and I really did nearly die in a car crash.
Load More Replies...We had to do two truths and a lie as ice breaker at a work meeting last year. I felt my 'about you' part had been seen as lame last time so I went bigger, but probably too far. 'I have six cats, two of my brothers have died and my parents are cousins'. Got some concerned looks.
I fell into that trap. The college teacher asked that on the first day. I said I had three dogs. That was in 2011, I was one of the first who had the privilege of learning English, not Russian. The English teachers had no idea what they were doing. So I pronounced dogs like it's written, gs. The teacher started a bizarre rant about my docs and where I have them. She wanted to humiliate sb but humiliated herself.
I prefer the saying "The length of a minute depends entirely on which side of the bathroom door you're on!"
Particularly if you're on the outside and it's occupied.

And if it’s duty free it’s a saving… if you wanted it already… because those prices are insane now!
Load More Replies...In theory cheaper because of no tax. However, I will Google the price at a local shop first because I don't buy Prada bags regularly. Who am I kidding I'm checking the price on the alcohol and I find that often there isn't a saving 🙄
Only store I went in when at the airport was the bookstore, because I knew my half finished book wouldn't last the 14 hour trip home. I was right, finished it and 1 and a half books I bought.
Picking out a book at the airport bookstore is one of my treasured trip rituals. Gotta have something analog specially chosen.
Load More Replies...True, there's no tax on it, but they jack the prices up on everything. Most of the time when I fly, I need to eat and have a drink to take my meds. £5 for a bottle of water? £6.50 for some cràppy wee sandwich? It's a shame we can't bring food with us. Would save me a lot of money.
Load More Replies...No tax so the stuff is cheaper. I only buy perfume at the duty free!
I maintain that stores in airports are pseudo-monopolies because they can raise prices like crazy since you have to re-enter the airport to buy anything outside (not to mention in some cases with international travel you can't even exit if you wanted to)
Aww. They are going to make the cutest little swarm of spiderlings.

Load More Replies...When I was in high school, I fell face first onto the floor somewhere in the evening. I'm still laying there and someone shoves their hand under my face and said that she thinks this small white square was mine. I looked at her, wondering what whe was talking about. Then, in my mouth, my tongue realized that there was a big gap. I had broken a front tooth. Had to go get root canal that night. The next day at school, the absolute first time I was ever served a taco. I did not enjoy my lunch.
So glad I never needed braces, though I thought they were cool when I was in primary school.
I've started referring to everyone's significant other as a significant other or partner. Just seems more egalitarian.
Same here, you can't go wrong with that. It doesn't matter what s*x they are or what their marital status is.

In Scotland partner is definitely the default/generic. Who knows if people are married or dating or if you havent net then, their gender? Easier and faster to just go with partner.
Partner is also used if you're older, or if in a long term relationship.
I know a couple who describe the other as "my fiancee". They've been "engaged" for 37 years.

People in Poland really show their true colours around Halloween. Expecting strangers to participate in this foreign celebration bc 'children like it'. It's foreign, it doesn't teach children anything good and we're not here to entertain children. I hate Halloween, honestly.
I hate having to do things I don't like for the sole reason of "kids like it". This unfortunately happens semi-often in the US (or at least in my neighborhood)
Load More Replies...Year 1 living in this house: 3 bags of mixed candy, excitedly made up snack packs so it was fair, 1 kid. I ate the candy. Year 2: 1 bag of candy, dropped in a bowl, 0 kids. I ate the candy. Year 3 to current: I have fruit; if a kid comes knocking despite the door lights being off, “here’s an apple”. I eat the fruit instead of candy I don’t want.
Ideal for making a video called "the bottle" and putting it on YouTube
Seeing how I have 8 rods holding up my spine, I think with enough rods you can fix this. At least, I hope you can.

Load More Replies...It's quite a common belief amongst Christians, particularly the more evangelical and/or born-again varieties. Another common one is that atheists do believe in God really, they're just mad at him or don't like him. They don't seem to be able to grasp the concept of non-belief at all.

Giving someone a replacement for a personal item is sometimes seen as a judgement upon the current item. (That the judgement is spot on is not included in the calculation in any way.)
That's why I replace only what I have bought or when he tells me that he will have to replace it soon.
