There is a very specific type of modern panic that comes from hitting “send” and then realizing what you actually wrote. And in the age of the internet, our horrible, misspelled, and embarrassing messages can be saved, screenshotted, or otherwise recorded for posterity. 

The “Screenshots of messages that probably shouldn’t have been posted” Facebook page is home to all the texts, SMS messages, and emails that really exemplify why an “unsend” button could be useful. So get comfortable, prepare yourself for some thoughts that perhaps should have been left unsaid, and get to scrolling. Be sure to upvote your favorites and comment your thoughts below.

    If only there was some way of colouring a person’s hair artificially. And if only this was widely available in all shops, and commonly practised by human adults. But, alas, this is not the case and the argument is watertight.

    It's possible. Geez, folks. I have brown eyes and very dark hair and blonde parents with light eyes. But I'm the spitting image of my paternal aunt and have the Native American features of my grandmother. Genetics is complicated.

    Unless people online are lying, which is entirely possible, but it actually would be possible because of dominant and recessive genes, and even if that isn’t the case, I do remember that in the movie it’s sort of hinted at I believe that before they married she had been in a relationship because of a photo and a few things that are said in the movie

    Neither one of my parents are blond, but they had two blond daughters. I was only blond for the first five years of my life. So yes, it's possible to have kids with a different hair color than the parents.

    My brother and his wife both have dark hair and their kids are both blonde. His daughter looked more like me as a small child than she did either of her parents. Both kids are also left-handed (like me) and neither parent is. It works well because I never wanted kids, but I still got to have a mini-me.

    My great-grandmother told me about how she thought she had given birth to a troll baby (changeling?) when grandma was born. My great-grandparents were blond and blue-eyed while grandma and two of her siblings have dark hair and brown eyes. (The other 5 siblings are blond/blue-eyed or blond/brown-eyed.)

    Genes are weird so it is probably possible. I've seen a white woman (naturally dark hair) and a black man kick out a little "Irish" kid. One of my grandkids. His full blood sister is a black girl. And no, it wasn't due to cheating. But he has white skin and blond / sandy hair and strangers think he is a foster kid or adopted. It's one of those 'funny but also annoying' things.

    yes it IS possible...called genetics. My Maternal grandmother blonde; uncle blonde; mother blonde; grandfather brunette. My Paternal Grandmother red head; father blonde; aunt red head; cousin red head; grandfather brunette...ME...BRUNETTE!!! nobody cheated, it's just i got the recessive genes in my family, which happen to be dark hair.

    My folks are part NA both blue eyed and light brown heads. I am a redhead with green eyes. Go figure. PS yes I am their kid. Gotta love genetics and genealogy. Only one brother has brown eyes; the other two have blue eyes. Sister is blonde. The older two were towheads at birth; I had black hair at birth. So did little bro. Genetics is a funny thing.

    Ha, my red head mom and black haired dad had a brown haired me. And yes I’m related to both, they couldn’t disown me if they tried 🤣 and before you say recessive three of my grandparents had black hair and one had red, you have to go back there generations to get a chance of brown…

    Someone drew these characters. They are not real. Stop trying to sign genetic traits you learned in high school science class to fictional characters. And, yes that is the gotcha moment you are looking for. Hair color genetics... in a movie where the character in question can go invisible and create force fields. Its the hair color that makes me doubt the science in The Incredibles,.

    My mom dated a guy who did not like music. The only movie he would watch was American Graffiti over and over. He tried to throw my mom in a tree once when he was upset. I am conviced bro was 100% an extraterrestrial. If someone does not like music be suspicious.
