Despite its toxicity, social media can still be a fun way to bring people together. Microblogging sites, for example, allow users to evoke different emotions and use them as a medium to poke fun at the mundaneity of life.
Just look at these examples from The Funny Introvert Instagram account. Creator Kevin Flynn has created an online community of 3 million people (and counting), virtually bonding over wisecracks about self-checkout machines, pre-drinking rituals, and misadventures at the dentist’s office.
As always, we’ve curated our favorites, which we hope you'll enjoy.

Social media is no longer the “fun-only" platform it was when it first began. To paint a clearer picture of how badly it went downhill, a 2024 report by the World Health Organization revealed that 1 in 10 adolescents exhibited signs of “problematic social media behavior,” including an inability to control their use.
However, it is still a medium that brings people together, especially among young people. As psychologist and Brown University professor Dr. Jacqueline Nesi points out, it’s a way for teenagers to explore their identities, which she deems an “important task of the adolescent years.”

I do. I feel ashamed that I am forced to share this beautiful planet overflowing with trash on legs.
Memes are another tool that unites people online. These well-crafted images succinctly express a statement that many people typically relate to, and you may see some of them on this list.
A Penn State study concluded that memes can influence one's sense of belonging, community, and attitude toward a community.

One reason I live in the Washington DC area is because you don't want to survive a first strike.

Good advice for Seattle drivers. Schools cancel classes here when it's 1/2" of snow and below freezing temperature
Of course, we cannot ignore the potential dangers that social media use brings, and it’s not the obvious ones that many would likely be aware of. Clinical psychologist Dr. Mary Ann McCabe views these social platforms as echo chambers due to the algorithms that present the same type of content.
There’s also underlying racism within these sites through “filter biases,” where most “beauty filters” on platforms like Instagram and Snapchat are geared towards appealing to paler skin tones.

Our local hospital, you can pay at their parking garage if you want. But at the ER, they offer free valet parking. Seriously, this complex is so big it probably has two zip codes all to itself.

People of all ages and genders have suggested that I go climb a tree.
Ultimately, it’s about maintaining a healthy relationship with social media and recognizing when it becomes problematic. This especially applies to pre-adolescent kids since research shows that excessive use may not be suitable for developing brains.
In addition, some problematic habits to watch out for include social media use that interferes with daily routines, choosing these platforms over in-person interactions, and lying to spend time online. These behaviors are similar to substance addiction and abuse.

I am reminded of the times my friends were really impressed with how "nice" I looked and "What are you all dressed-up for? What's the occasion?". My response, "Oh, it's laundry day".

I always have mixed feelings when my problem stumps the expert. I feel vindicated for having given up and calling for help because it stumps the expert too, but I still want my problem fixed.
We’d also like to hear your opinions, dear readers. Which of these memes and posts were most relatable to you? Why do you think they established a connection? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Yeah, logic doesn't work on crippling anxiety over past stupidity that only you remember. I've tried, but I just don't listen to myself. 🤪

I KNOW I could. I'm a 6'1" jaded cynic with severe depression and a massive case of pessimism - I could break that laughing weirdo in under a week. 🤣

No, go ahead and stare, make comments while shielding your mouth, snigger, but learn the lessons that we are learning, and don't do that to your own people.

Mine, too, only it's sitting there, giggling to itself and scaring away any potential teammates coming to let it know what's going on.

My dream last night, I was a teacher but it was a scifi where people had to be inside during a particular time every day or they died. Most of the dream was spent pulling kids inside the classroom to safety. As if being a teacher wasn't bad enough in real life.

This sounds like me as a kid. And by kid, I mean from teens well into adulthood.

She might actually *have* a trust fund but I think it's also possible that she has superior self-respect also. "Noli illegitimi carborundum" ! It's only a valid insult if you can't handle it.

I suspect that it's the words you use , rather than the way you say them, that give away your nationality. OK, old bean?

I am a 50 1/2 -year-old woman and I STILL have to deal with the masses expecting me to "Ooooo and Ahhhh" and drool and babble in baby talk over their c.unt runts simply because I have a uterus. No. Never has been me and NEVER will be. If I don't know you, s.crew you and your snotty kid. And hey, some of you that I DO know, s.crew you and your snotty kid!!!

Early in my navy career there wasn’t much going on with the ship as it was summer and most people were on leave. My friend and I were called to our chiefs office and told that he can let one of us go but we had to give a good reason. My friend gave the usual excuses but I said I should be let go for psychological reasons because I actually wanted to stay. He chose me.
