50 Times People Went Off Their Meds And Posted Something Bizarrely Funny (New Pics)
Interview With AuthorThe internet is a messy place, full of debates, drama, and doomscrolling. But sometimes, the best way to survive it is to embrace the nonsense.
A perfect place for that is the aptly named subreddit Delusions of Adequacy. It defies easy explanation, and that’s exactly the point. Even its own description insists no need to figure it out—after all, as it states, “if you need it explained, you won’t understand. If you understand, you won’t need it explained.” It’s pure randomness at its finest.
No need to overthink—just scroll down and enjoy some of the best recent posts.

This isn’t the first time we’ve featured Delusions of Adequacy, and it probably won’t be the last. That’s hardly surprising, given the subreddit’s unique brand of humor—an infectious, hard-to-define charm that just begs to be shared.

Even for billionaires there is no planet B. They’ll just buy up the last inhabitable parts of Earth and pay private armies to keep the riff-raff out.
A few years ago, Bored Panda spoke with the subreddit’s creator, aspiring fantasy author Nick East, to get some insight into what Delusions of Adequacy represents on Reddit. We recently caught up with him again to see how the subreddit has evolved.

"Coal isn't such a bad gift when it's cold. I once wrote a story outline where kids in a village intentionally behaved badly to collect coal for winter because their right to gather fuelwood was restricted by colonists. Adults noticed the change in behavior but couldn't understand why. One of them bought the best gifts they could afford for their kids, only to find the children disappointed and preferring coal.
According to Nick, not much has changed—except for the fact that he now considers himself a full-fledged meme expert. “If it has evolved, it’s not intentional, but I was recently interviewed for a university master’s thesis on climate change memes,” he told us. “So, I feel like I can now officially call myself a meme expert. Not that I didn’t do that before—but now, I have documentation.”

My Grandma's obit should have been: Here lies (my Grandma's name) also known to many as "The Wicked Witch of the South/Satan's Daughter/The Red Headed Old Hag) surrounded by family to ensure that she was REALLY dead. Her life was full of pettiness, lies and being a vile creature. This is the same woman, that when her husband our Grandpa talked about suicide, threw the shotgun onto the bed and walked out to the garage to go grocery shopping. Family and friends suspect part of the reason for the suicide was to finally be free and get away from her. Those that attended her funeral came for the opportunity to throw dirt, spit on her grave and to ensure that she didn't make a deal with Satan, so she wouldn't pull a Lazarus and come back from the dead. The Celebration of her Death was held at her Sister's home who everyone loved and knew, that it would p**s the b***h off one final time. In lieu of flowers please donate to the local Veterans hospital and hospice care, which she would've hated

Same with printers. Sometimes you have to pretend you don’t even really care whether it works or not. Be apathetic, show no emotion. Under no circumstances do you ever let a printer know that you need a document quickly! (/j)
Pretend you've made a typo that you've got to correct so you're not even going to use the version being printed.

Stupid movies! Obviously if you want access to the IRS database you just have to bankroll the presidential campaign of a vengeful narcissist, and he'll give it to you, no questions asked!

Never touch the copier "start" button with your bare hands. It can read your pulse and sense how urgent the job is. This is what causes paper jams. The more urgent the job, the less likely it will be for you to find anything actually jammed in the machine.
Or if you have a demo in <1 hour. 100%of last-minute demos have a 0% success rate of working even though you only changed 1 line of code.
Computers smell fear, and copiers are very sensitive. Approach them slowly, treat them gently, and never ever ride up and down on the moving paper tray.
My laptop shows down when I want to get through a whole BP list before I have to get up and hurry to do something, or go somewhere.
Almost every time we had a major deadline at my law office in the 90s, one or more of the computers would go down, and/or the printer as well.
Saying "I don't care how long it takes" can either exponentially increase or decrease the time needed for something to load, install, or download.
That used to be iPhones, but Apple fixed it. Now they profoundly suck ALL the time.
This Is Why I Never Liked History In School
History is written by the victors. We study the life of Richard the Lionhearted because he was the one paying Matthew to write about it. The thousands of people he ruled and killed in crusades were too busy dying to write their stories so there's nothing to read. We guess about their lives from stories told by archeologists vandalizing their long past lives.

They are just finding a quirk that will separate them from the crowd, but their standards are too low as they are desperate, and so they readily accept anything fairly unique to the mainstream without much investigation. Not fools, but willful suspension of criticality.

I totally agree with you. I find the title offensive on a few levels.
Load More Replies...The title of this article is offensive to people who rely on medication to cope on a day to day basis.. There is nothing funny about this. I don't know if it is a problem with the difference between English and whatever language the writer uses, or plain ignorance & very poor judgment.
It's ignorance and poor judgement. They've been called out for it enough times that's there's no ambiguity.
