Is it possible to say something offensive, but in a nice way? The question would be perplexing and probably without answers if not for this Instagram account.

Welcome to “Tastefully Offensive,” the page dedicated to sharing the most blunt and direct, sarcastic and funny tweets shared on the internet. They reflect what we all have been thinking lately: from hopes that 2022 is a precedented situation to someone pointing out how Leonardo DiCaprio owes his whole career to the iceberg that sank the Titanic, there’s a lot to digest.

And decide whether the tweets below are offensive or aren’t. Upvote your favorites as you go!

"Tastefully Offensive originally started as a website for sharing funny and viral content in June 2010 when the Internet was a much different place," Christian Baker, the founder and curator of Tastefully Offensive told Bored Panda

"It started as a fun side project while I was working as a marketing manager for a wine company. After about a year the website became popular enough to become my full-time job, which continued for around 7 years. During that time, the website branched into several social media platforms including Facebook, Tumblr, and Instagram."

I wish I could upvote this twice. I've started just using random things I see while driving or watching a movie.

Today, Christian is a full-time bartender which he calls his main passion in California’s Napa Valley. "But my love for Internet humor has never gone away," he said. "While the site still exists and is a great source of funny content, my main involvement with Tastefully Offensive is curating the Instagram page. I mainly share content (memes) that I find funny, which mostly get sourced from Twitter, Instagram or get shared with me by other IG users."

Christian says that his Instagram page Tastefully Offensive "basically feels like a place where he shares things he finds funny with 230k friends." He added that he loves when followers of the IG page add witty comments on posts and said that they are often funnier than the posts themselves.

When asked what the name Tastefully Offensive refers to, Christian said: "it refers to my sense of humor, which is sometimes on the offensive side but usually still comfortably sharable with parents and grandparents."

This reminds me of when I was at a McDonald's and there was a little kid refusing to leave the playground at 7pm. The mum said, "Thats fine, you can stay. The monsters come out soon". The kid beat her to the car.

I have glaucoma, need eye drops daily, regularly think about post apocalyptic lack of drops and how to convince others I'm worth keeping in the gang since I'll eventually go blind without the drops.

Laser surgery was the one for me, no more getting glasses knocked off at gigs, no more drained pasta, ovens or walking inside on a cold day steaming them up, no more horrendous myopic blur of a s**t-storm that was my eye-sight.

When I was a kid I thought there was really something to the stereotype that wearing glasses = intelligence. I figured early humans with poor eyesight must have gotten by because they were smart. They then went on through the ages to produce more smart humans with terrible eyesight. 😂

This is true for all modern medicine. There was a reason they called it "The Plague" back then, now we call it the flu.

I have though about this a million times... or more! When I was a child, I used to pray every night, "Thank you, God, for making me be born in 1954." My reasoning was this: if I were born in Jesus' time, I wouldn't have glasses and then I couldn't read. Everyone in school would think I was stupid and I loved being smart. So I would also thank God for not making me be the Virgin Mary cause I wouldn't even know what Baby Jesus looks like without glasses. I actually thought like that! Did anybody out guess that I grew up in a very Catholic home?!

There's a theory that the need for glasses comes from agrarian society, not genetics. The food is softer, so kids have to chew less, and their cheek muscles don't develop like they should. Muscle is what creates strong bones, so if your cheekbones end up being all smushed and underdeveloped, there isn't enough room for your eyeballs in your sockets. Also, if you live outside and hold your baby all the time, as you might if you were a hunter-gatherer, you would spend a lot of time making sure your baby's mouth is closed to keep the bugs out. We know some cultures are more focused on this than others, and there's been some research into how poor mouth-posture developed in infancy affects the structure of the teeth and face. This is why a lot of ancient skulls have perfect teeth. The pressure of the tongue and lips is supposed to naturally align them if the mouth is kept closed in the right way.

I recently learned that acorns also sort of pop. I know it's not really a food, but it's fun to watch them explode out of a fire and zip around like burning hot missiles.

The irony is that a lot of academic subjects work that way. Advanced academia is the ultimate pyramid scheme where they try and pull in lots of hopefuls to expensive levels of study to perpetuate their own purpose of teaching and finding replacements along the way. It's the biggest jerk circle on the planet.

Along time ago, my cousin and I went to a Halloween party. She is socially awkward, so she went as a mime and didn’t say a word to anybody.

And then keep standing just at the door occasionally knocking again or trying the handle, even after the person inside has said "Occupied". Bonus points for having others with you and having the conversation "Did someone answer? I'm not sure anyone is in there. The light is on though. Did you try knocking? Maybe try the door again" >.< So helpful

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather skid in broadside in a cloud of dust, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! WHAT A RIDE!" 😃☠
