No-Context Content uses [Confusion]: It’s Super Effective! It’s healthy to bring a bit of nonsense and weirdness into your life—it brings you outside your comfort zone, and gives you a brand new perspective on, well, pretty much everything. And that’s on top of helping you sharpen your creativity.
Many of us like to feel like we’re internet veterans. When it comes to online posts, people generally feel that they’ve seen it all. Over and over again. So it comes as a pleasant surprise when we stumble upon a meme, pic, or screenshot that makes us do a genuine double-take. That’s where the ‘Emotional Club’ page comes in.
A massively popular social media account, it shares various nonsensical pics and signs that befuddle and bemuse Instagram users. We’ve collected some of their funniest pics that will probably make you scratch your head and ask, ‘What?!’ Check ‘em out below, and don’t forget to upvote your faves!

No that's not entirely true. That would be like saying people who play Grand Theft Auto would do those things in real life. That's just not the truth. In real life people can be kind and generous, but online people can have a different persona. And for some they do not link the reality with the online persona. Yes, the consequences for people are very real. And the people SHOULD see those consequences. But they often don't. Reality and online SHOULD be closely realated, but often that is not true.

The content is very different from what you’d usually find while scrolling through Instagram.
Germans tend to answer honestly (or are at least much more likely to) - it's much less of a pleasantry there, it is more likely to be treated as a real question.
Load More Replies...When I was a kid I was always trying to give accurate answers when someone asked "how are you?" or "how you doing?". Took me.a while to understand nobody really cares about your answer and that it is just a form of small talk with standard answer.
Me too sometimes, it depends on whom is asking you. In Italy it's not a real form of small talk because we're very talkative people but you know, nobody want to hear you're not ok so...it takes me many years to understand the difference between real interest and formal small talk. :(
Load More Replies...I'm in my 50's and have always said how pointless that question is. I've heard coffee shop workers complain that people order their morning coffee without answering their, "How are you?" greeting. There is no other acceptable answer other than 'good'. I wish they'd change their greeting to, "Hi, what can I get for you?" That is a meaningful question. One of these times I'm going to say, "Well, the state of the world has me down, I'm a middle aged woman still dealing with her overbearing mother, people are on my nerves on a daily basis and this is officially my 10,000th day straight of losing the lottery. I could be better, but thanks for asking, Emily. A coffee would be great right about now."
This seems culture dependent to me. In the Netherlands you are often wished a good day. When asked how you are doing, it depends on the relationship, but the answer is often complaining in the form of: It could be better or something weather related.

Instead of ‘perfectly’ framed and photo-edited pics, you see raw, unfiltered snapshots from people’s daily lives. All taken when they’ve randomly stumbled upon something that made the rational parts of their brains short-circuit.
Frankly, the number of weird signs and sentences you can spot around any town is surprising. It just takes a keen eye.

The founder of the page posts new pics on a regular basis, so there’s nearly always something freshly bizarre to pique your interest. And it really gets your imagination all fired up: what exactly is the context behind these photos? What the everlovin’ heck is going on? Who wrote these things? Are they regular people, just like us? What's the deal here?
Not true. Even with my reputation in tatters, I still can't afford to heat a house. Or a house.
yea, but if you ruin your reputation correctly, you won't care that people find your corpse frozen and emaciated. Imagine if you were worried about the circumstances of your death, so much pressure to die "honourably".

Load More Replies...Bored Panda covered nonsensical internet content a number of times before. One of the things that we found was that absurdity works hand-in-hand with humor.
They form a symbiotic relationship that helps elevate a pic or screenshot to meme status. Without humor, however, the photo might not get all that much attention: it needs to stick in the audience’s mind somehow. And laughter is key, here.
One can be cool and anxious, simply have a panic attack in a walk-in freezer. Problem solved!

I'd apologise for being miserable but tbh, with the way the world is right now, how tf are we supposed to be happy?
It's tough, today's world is s**t. And it's hard to be happy when living in a world where so many people get annoyed by happy people. I won't smile in a room full of miserable faces, I'd stand out and not in a good way. But besides that, there are alot of other things wrong with the world today
Load More Replies...Another aspect of absurd and nonsensical internet content is just how much freedom it grants the audience. Everyone seeing the peculiar photos is at liberty to interpret them the way they want to.
Since there’s not much context to go on, each and every one of us creates a small story in our heads, trying to rationalize what we’re seeing (and why). The memes become personal. There’s no burden of descriptions, explanations, and on-photo calls to action.

Load More Replies...It's stuff like this that made life so much harder for my sister. She cried once in secondary school when she was 12 and was bullied so much she still finds it almost impossible to cry 17 years later.
This is horrible. My son cried easily when he was younger and for all sorts of reasons.Some (older) people told me he "would never turn into a real man".
Load More Replies...My 5yo fell over outside, and was (understandably) crying. While I was trying to comfort him, an old man came up to him and said softly, "remember - brave boys don't cry". Just shows the difference in generations.
Makes me want to pass by a situation like this so I can tell him "brave boys DO cry". I have my own boys and try my best to teach them crying is ok.
Load More Replies...Crying is healthy and a natural way of showing others that you need help. Hiding the fact that you need help is generally a bad idea. So go ahead and cry - nobody's going to judge you. Or at least no-one worth listening to.
Wish I knew how to cry. The very few times I was able to it was very therapeutic.
In a doctor waiting room a 3yo child was crying and a big woman yelled at him to shut up or she would make him an injection! I told her how this was wrong and she messed up with me telling she was a previous nurse and then a caregiver in my country. It's a cultural thing too, sadly.
Last year on a school trip, a boy (big for his age, almost adult hight but clearly a child) got a bit overwhelmed and started crying - he has ASD, but it wasn't a melt down, just expressing emotions. A middle aged couple passing stopped, and the woman said 'he needs a good slap, big boy like him crying in public'. So of course, most of the other children started crying too. An old man coming in the other direction said to the woman 'who damaged you?' then told the boy 'you let it out son, it's always OK to let it out' I can't understand why anyone thinks it is ever ok to pass comment on a child they do not know crying. My class is made up of 12 and 13 year olds, some cry a lot - most need an occasional cry. All know, they can any time they need or want. Some of the most frequent cryiers are among the bravest kids I know. But it's not linked, some people (kids and adults) don't cry, and that's ok too.

Whatever the drawbacks of social media (and believe us, there are plenty—from shortening attention spans to lowered self-esteem), one positive aspect that it brings is that there’s a far lower barrier to entry for creators.
In other words, if you’re a photographer or an artist, it becomes incredibly easy to share your work with a global audience.
I love Mr Rogers! But my favorite was Romper Room! Remember the song? “Romper stomper bomper boo! Tell me, tell me..is that you? Oh I see Mary and Billy …and Oh! I see you!” And I remember watching The Gentle Giant and most importantly Captain Kangaroo! And did anyone really have the picture pages to Bill Colby’s tv show in the 70’s called Picture Pages? We were poor so we didn’t send away for them. It was about 1977 that I watched that in kindergarten before school. Oh my gosh….I just outEd myself as old! Lol
I was on Romper Room as a kid!! My cousin sat on Miss Molly's shoe, lololol
Load More Replies...Mister Rogers was a great man with a huge heart and the bravery to treat children as people. The day after Robert Kennedy was assassinated he ran a show on the subject including parental death. He did shows on divorce, loneliness, courage, and accountability. Through it all, he made sure that kindness and love were always paramount. He single handedly caused the US law allowing you to record TV shows. A very conservative senator was trying to end TV recording as copyright infringement. Mr. Rogers went to speak to his committee and explained how important it was for parents to be able to record his show. The same senator sponsored a bill to protect that right. He taught tolerance and that all people deserve to be treated with love when most of our country didn't believe that.
I loved Mr Rogers. My dad would put the show on when the kids (or dad) needed some calming down. Worked every time!
You know what they say, practice makes ... people perfect their mediocrity, but it's better than robbing a bank.

However, not everyone feels comfortable sharing their own work. Some are anxious about how others will judge them. Others don’t believe that what they have to offer is anything special or original. And creating your own original memes can mean that you have to get used to rejection and failure: it takes practice to hook you chosen audience and reel them in with your chose brand of humor.
There was a park bench in my area with a plaque saying "In loving memory of [name]. If you aren't holding a beer, please sit elsewhere." Then some jerk ripped it off the bench and broke it in several pieces. I found all but two of those pieces and, out of compassion for the family, I glued it back together and tracked down one of the poor guy's friends to offer the repaired plaque back. Plot twist: THE GUY WASN'T EVEN DEAD! He had just moved away! He and his friends were very pleased to see the plaque back in one piece, though, and told me I could keep it. It's on my kitchen wall to this very day.
Now that's a great story! Random discovery, human interest, appreciation, aggravation, determination, flummoxing, laughing... a roller coaster ride in 7 sentences.

The key here is to focus on the unique personal perspective that you can offer the world. Biting the bullet and putting yourself and your creativity out there is a step that definitely requires courage.
However, the potential rewards can potentially be great, whether you plan on becoming a full-time creator or simply want to share a few fun and funky pics with everyone else. It’s essential to be unapologetically genuine. There’s always an audience for whatever you’re good at.
"I feel like I've been cheated out of something but I don't know what it is." My favorite graffiti ran length of wall on E Street in San Bernardino. It was there for ~10 years. Local gangs didn't paint over it. City didn't remove it. Appears it resonated with everyone.

Load More Replies...Hmmm. Science Alert had a headline last week that a dark sense of humour meant one was smarter. Great mind, then lose it?
Yeah, I've seen multiple suggestions of correlation with intelligence. Also worth noting that Iceland supposedly has one of the darkest senses of humor in the world and also tend to do well on happiness indices. I'm wondering if any correlation with dementia more likely involves a recent change to darker humor, which could make sense if people beginning to develop dementia are feeling depressed over the changes. Looks like this could be the case since the beginning of the article says something about "increasingly warped sense of humour."

People often break off the one banana that is too much for them and that's what's left over. Since I know that these single bananas often have to be thrown away, I prefer to buy them.

Not for 2 numbers, you'd have to get 3, unless it's the mega ball. If you get 1 number and the mega ball, you win $4.
Load More Replies...Skipping one or even two doses of antidepressants won't have much of an effect on you.
Load More Replies...Sometimes antidepressants make people feel grey and devoid of feeling.
PSA: Antidepressants do not prevent you from feeling emotions. If they do, you may be taking the wrong medication. Antidepressants prevent you from having functionally inappropriate feelings, which actually help you feel the right emotion at the right time. And yes, I am going to refer to the "right" emotions, because while we all get seemingly inappropriate emotions (crying at weddings, laughing at funerals, schadenfreud, etc.), it's not healthy or adaptive to respond to everything with sadness or apathy or frustration or weariness. We call feelings "eMOTIons" because they MOTIvate us to take the proper action. If your feelings persistently don't align with your motivations, something inside may not be working correctly. Yes, antidepressants may sometimes be temporary crutches for when you need talk therapy or spiritual healing, but if you had a broken leg, would you walk on it anyway because you didn't believe in crutches? No, you'd end up in excruciating pain and maybe maim yourself for life.
It really does. But in some ways it is less sucky than the last century.

This is really sad and concerning, especially as it seems to be a thing child's schoolwork. Hope the adult took more action then just photo it for fun.
honestly, as an ex child myself, they probably just have a cold, and cannot breath as easily.
Load More Replies...sorta reminded me of the time i wrote "bad day" in my school work as a child (3rd grade, probably) and my teacher scolded me for it because i shouldn't have written something like that. i only wrote it because i listened to daniel powter's bad day song earlier in the morning before i went to school and i felt like writing it down somehow LOL
No need to worry about murderers! As a murderer myself, I can tell you any decent murderer would take care not to murder you there.

I do not understand why everyone was after toilet paper? There are ways to wipe yourself. Leaves, a shower, a piece of cloth, paper or magazines, pine cones, baby wipes, etc..... I would think food, water, tampons, pads, diaper's etc...Why toilet paper??
Maybe they didn’t realize they could get a bidet to hook up to their toilet from Amazon for $35????

Yes. That balcony is unlikely to support much water. People weigh only what a couple of square feet of water weigh. (1 cubic foot = 63 pounds!) So 3 feet of water in a 100 square foot (5 x 20?) balcony is about 9 tons!
Load More Replies...What do you reckon? 6 tons of water on that balcony? When it was designed did the architect do a calculation that included a swimming pool being installed on it or did they just envisage a few chairs and a family party? Place your bets NOW!
Honestly who thought that was a good idea? Probably the hillbilly without a truck bed to make into a pool.
As a lifelong Hillbilly, I must point out that we prefer swimming in a clean mountain river, or a swimming pool. Only an idiot would make a pool out of a truck bed or a balcony.

In fact, if anything, Lorette needed to procure some chairs herself. Her other half turned her off and on again, but it would appear that Lorette is stuck in a loop, constantly asking herself for chairs that she doesn't have and then denying all knowledge of any chairs at all.

So… you’re saying that if I keep crying I don’t have to go back to work?
My thoughts exactly. Narcissists and attention seekers.
Load More Replies...In some wsys, this isn't the best thought process. To experience happiness and joy, you have to take risks and be vulnerable. Obviously that doesn't mean be unwise with the risks (like security risks) but you do have to take them. Having to learn that, it's helped a lot in finding happiness (like with my husband!).

They said not to eat BEFORE swimming. They didn't say anything about eating WHILE swimming!
Yeah, but someone took this picture with the intent to shame and embarrass them, which isn’t nice. 😕
It’s a pretty gross and inconsiderate thing to do to everyone else in the pool area - imagine them dropping food into the pool or wiping their hands/mouths off in the water that everyone else is trying to enjoy 😅 I think it’s sweet you’re worried about their specific feelings but perhaps you’re missing the point of the post - they’re being entitled and clueless, and ignoring everyone else’s feelings/comfort and being incredibly inconsiderate and unhygienic. Defend them all you want but it’s a huge nah from me! Eat your food outside of the pool ffs, it’s even gross to watch imagining all the micro bits of bath/pool water splashed into your food.

If someone asked if you were going, then you WERE invited. Just sayin…💟☮️

I mean, some of them are funny, and I get what this article meant. But I feel like reading these kind of reenforces depression or stuff like that by pretending it's funny or relatable.
Depression is all about feeling alienated, so that's probably not a huge problem if it's portrayed as funny and relatable.
