This Page Collects Funny Screenshots Of ‘Old People On Facebook’, And Here’s 30 Of The Best Ones
It should come as no surprise that different generations have very different approaches to the internet. This translates into very unique behaviors on social media. Sometimes, they seem so strange and witty that others can’t help but shine the spotlight on them, for everyone to see.
The ‘Old People on Facebook’ project is an account on X (formerly Twitter) that shares some of the most ridiculous and wholesome things that seniors have ever posted online. Scroll down to see some of the oddest and funniest comments and posts. Just remember… you might all be giggling now, but we'll all be seniors soon enough! So don't judge others too harshly.

Note the laugh emoji background. I'm sure the lady knew. I think they all knew.
I've seen condolences on FB with this exact same emoji.

I had a roommate in college. We ended up both getting jobs in the same town after graduation and continued living together. We knew we got along, so it made sense and helped us both financially. People should be careful about assuming. Also, it would've been kinder to bring this up privately. No point embarrassing someone.

I once saw a post where an elderly user tried to use the Walmart Facebook page as google. For applesauce if I recall
It’s important to understand who exactly the X account ‘Old People on Facebook’ focuses on. It’s one thing to say that it’s about ‘old people,’ but the term ‘old’ is relative. However hip and modern any of us feel at the moment, sooner or later, the younger generations will think that our values, attitudes, and behaviors are outdated.
Sure, Zoomers and Gen Alpha might be super cool now, giggling at Boomers, Gen X, and Millenials, but give it a few decades and they’ll probably be struggling quite a bit.
That's not how it goes. Here's some of the lyrics "Police found my car..." You're welcome. ;)
A woman in prison with me sang "Fleas on my dog."
Took me a while till saw your post. Spanish is one of the two natural languages, I'm embarrassed ND laughing as hell....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ditto on both, but I never thought I'd make it to my 50s, so ya never know!

Right? What is it with those f*cking creeps? I usually respond, "Why no RANDOM INTERNET STRANGER, I do NOT want to be your friend. Maybe my husband feels like chatting?"
Members of Generation X were born between 1965 and 1980, Millennials (hi!) include folks born from 1981 till 1996, while Generation Z (aka Zoomers) are those born 1996 to 2012. The youngest generation, Generation Alpha, includes people born from 2013 to anyone born in the near future, until 2025. From 2026 onward, we’ll be seeing a fresh new generation. It’s safe to say that ‘Old People on Facebook’ targets everyone from older Millennials upwards.
I never realized I couldn't live without a moose-shaped cookie cutter until now...
Every time you hit a moose with your Silverado, you affix one to the fender to keep score.
In Maine you just get to keep the moose. Some people do keep score lol.

If that was me kicking off the replies, I could drag that out for hours.
This is all I have, will this be enough? CC17P004RB...x440-1.jpg
I laughed way too hard at this and I'm not even like high-high. This just tickled my funny bone.
‘Score,’ referring to data collected by ‘Sprout Social,’ noted that various generations really do approach social media in different ways. Broadly speaking, Facebook is still the favorite platform of Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials alike. 43% of all respondents said that they prefer it to other platforms. The second most popular platform among these three generations is Instagram.
"I asked for the recipe for cabbage roll, not for http-whatever... I don't like foreign food"
I don't get it. I grew up with cabbage rolls, they are yummy. At least the way my mom used to make them.
It’s because they posted it on facebook instead of searching for it on google. I agree I love cabbage rolls.

However, Facebook is far more popular among members of the older generations. For example, according to the survey conducted by ‘Sprout Social,’ 65.2% of Baby Boomers and 64.7% of Gen X put Facebook as their top social media platform. Meanwhile, barely 33% of Millennials said the same. In short, there’s definitely a trend of moving away from Facebook among younger people, toward other networks.
Alright Shirley, f**k around and find out. Beryl's coming for your social security
This is in Australia. RSL is returned services league. It was a club set up for returned serviceman but is now enjoyed by the whole community. Centrelink is Australian governments security security provider. My guess is Shirley is claiming she lives as a single person therefore her benefits are higher per person, than if she was in a relationship. Beryl is sick of Shirley’s bitching and is threatening to let Centrelink know about her revised status and therefore social security fraud.

Reminds me of the Cyanide and Happiness Coffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffee song 🤣
These trends in social media use are more important than you might think. For one, it drastically changes how businesses and content creators approach their work. Depending on your target audience, you’ll post about your content and advertise your services on very different platforms. Sure, you could do it everywhere, but it can be expensive and time-consuming. Having a focus is much better.
Good thing that was posted. I may have tried otherwise. Are macadamias okay?

Cut to an American viciously stuffing his cat with walnuts while shooting his gun at a hurricane.
If you don't give him walnuts, he might like the humans version

‘Score’ points out that Baby Boomers are two times less likely to follow businesses and brands on social media than either members of Gen X or Gen Y (aka Millennials). Baby Boomers mostly want businesses to provide them with information and offer them good deals on social media. In the meantime, Gen X mostly wants deals, promotions, and contests. Millennials, on the other hand, want businesses to provide them with a mix of information and entertainment online.
Another old fart who's given up correcting automatic corrections
The X (formerly Twitter) account ‘Old People on Facebook’ has been around since November 2018. Over the 5 years since creating the page, the curator has gained a following of nearly 3.5k followers.
The main focus is on hilarious, absurd, and sometimes even heartwarming internet content which shows just how big of a gap there is in how members of different generations approach social media.
This is not my beautiful house! This is not my beautiful wife!

However, it appears that at the time of writing, the founder has stopped posting any new posts. The project is, for all intents and purposes, on hiatus. At least for the time being.
The founder wrote that they were leaving the social media network after it was rebranded from Twitter to X earlier this year. “I thought this was a bird-watching page,” the founder quipped.
"That day, 100s of users deleted their accounts, for no known reason."
Read this out aloud "Alexa delete my Facebook account" ...

When you’re done scrolling through this list, feel free to drop by the comment section, dear Pandas. Have you seen any similar posts on Facebook with your own eyes? Why do you think different generations approach social media so differently? How do you think future generations will behave online and do you think anyone will even use Facebook by then?

Because embroidery is suuuuuuch a serious topic. Why, when I discuss it, I drink whiskey sours and smoke a pipe just to look more serious.
I don’t know, I have definitely had bad art days where a laughing emoji makes sense with that statement. I love painting, ha ha.
"I don't care who you are, you stant (sic) for the flag!" "But I'm Welsh." "STANT (sic) FOR THE FLAG!"
#1 is funny because my cousin has had the same roommate since college and they're both straight women. Her roommate has had a serious boyfriend for years, but no desire to live with him. My best friend and housemate and I have lived together for 22 years. In that time period, though both gay, never a couple, never a couple, never hooked up. I met my husband 12 years ago and when we got serious, we realized our house was big enough for the three of us. We've all been living together for six years in perfect harmony. Though it is still funny how clueless people can be to their gay relatives.
Why are you commenting about post #1 on post #44?? Do you also type your Google searches in to Facebook? ;)

The one where someone posted a cabbage roll recipe is the sweetest thing I've seen in a long time.

My husband has Parkinson’s disease, adding PD-5 to his nighttime Parkinson’s meds has completely changed his sleep issues. He slept all day and up all night, we had to hire care nurses. Now using this PD-5 medicine for the last four months and a normal routine he sleeps almost completely through the night and may get up once to use the restroom. It’s improved so much we were able to let go of the night nurses. This medicine also helps a ton with memory. we got the treatment from www. limitlesshealthcenter. com I am absolutely confident that this program offers a viable solution. I hope someone find this helpful, We feel very fortunate to have learned about pd-5.
