19 Social Norms That Are On Their Way To Becoming Nonsensical, As Shared Online

I don't care what gender your kid is. I care if they are healthy, cute, and not a pain in the butt.

I’m hoping ALL addictions, especially the destructive ones, will be eradicated in the future.

I love this nonsense where people think everyone has 9-5 office jobs and no one works in retail, construction, maintenance, food service, etc. Office workers are a fraction of the total work force.

UK here, the only person I know who uses cheques is my 82 year old mother. She's fine with electronic banking but still uses cheques to pay companies she disagrees with!

But I like being a Christian....

We would have to eradicate ageism completely to do this. As it is, the resume of anyone whose age starts with a 6 never even gets looked at. Things is, old people have bills to pay too, so also need to work for money. Not all of us had easy lives where we made top tier salaries with stock options and generous retirement plans, you know. Some of us missed the boomer gravy train and struggled as much as millennials do now, only we’re way older. Considering the pandemic put a lot of us out of work too, we’re pretty much f****d when it comes to even finding jobs at our age, much less decent paying ones. We’ll just be working until we drop dead. F*****g sorry situation, isn’t it.

Most people on the planet can't drink fresh water or breath clean air right NOW.

Hopefully police and law enforcement workers will soon be psychologically profiled before hiring. Any bullying tendencies need to get a hard “not suitable for hire”.

Airlines selling something at a discounted price ended loooooong ago.

Except for schools.

LOL I saw a couple on a date. The guy starts scrolling his phone. His date says something and he sets his phone back down in shame. It was amusing seeing this in real life.

I think I know what OP is talking about. They just haven't phrased it well. I think they mean the concept of virginity being highly valued in some sections of society or that those who are no longer virgins are somehow seen as lesser or tainted. Well, you know where that comes from, so let's kill two birds with one stone and get rid of adults with imaginary friends too.

Southern US, mostly Texas where children are still being sent home from school for having an Afro or for having long dreads.

I want to laugh,but it is too close to being true. I can hear Alexa saying that and making an appointment with the MD

If historical precedent is any indicator, we're approaching a big turning point on this within the next 10 years. Attacks by the conservative population on social change tend to become absurdly Draconian right before that social change becomes widely accepted.

Nope. Introverts are the ones that keep the world running while alpha douche is busy showing off

Bit of an insult to slaves there. You can quit any time, your free time is your own and you can negotiate a salary - slaves didn't have that option.

Nah. I like choosing my food myself, and don’t want to rely on an algorithm to do it for me. I have certain things I like in certain foods, and need to SEE, FEEL, and SMELL for myself to judge if they’re just right. In case you aren’t following me, I’ll give you a couple examples: I like my bacon to have a decent amount of fat on it, damn it. If it’s too lean, it’s like eating salty rawhide. I don’t trust a delivery service to choose bacon that I will actually eat. I also like my apples extremely firm and crisp. I hate hate hate to bite into a soft mushy apple. I don’t trust a delivery service to take that kind of care in choosing my apples. I think—-or at least hope—-you’re getting my drift here.

Definitely not, I'm not letting anyone do the Vulcan mind meld on me - they may not be best pleased if they knew exactly what I was thinking.
