Oftentimes the more you try to sound profound, the shallower your message becomes. The subreddit 'I'm 14 and this is Deep' is a perfect example of this.
Its moderators describe this corner of the internet as "a place to talk about stupid 'deep and meaningful' philosophy found on blogs, Tumblr, Facebook, Reddit, or anywhere else."
"[These are] insights that people should have outgrown by the time they were 14. Jaden Smith is our patron saint, along with many deep Twitter posts."
Created all the way back in April 2013, the subreddit now unites over 1.1 million members who have built quite an extensive gallery of cringe. Here are some of their most popular posts.

A nice bit of denial from her. People mostly scroll through pointless s**t.
This Is To Damn Deep
I love this one. I would change it to "world before I heard about your problem" and "world after I heard about your problem" and it would be perfect. (I'm IT support, not psychologist. For psychologist or something like that it would be little bit too far)

He Doesn't Understand The Deep Meaning
It would make slightly more sense if it had "not" in front of "I'm", I don't get why they went with "ok'nt".

If this actually happened then I bet the teacher told them "NO TALKING BACK-"

Comedy Good. People Bad
Well, if you can't do comedy without offending (usually marginalized) people, then your comedy is probably sh#t.

Shark Tale Was Many Things. Not Deep
Blue Hair Is Interesting
I'd say both are terrible. Commenting on one's look is always bad, alright. But shaming other people because they're more "mainstream" or less "quirky" than you is as bad, if not worse. There's nothing wrong with enjoying popular things and prefering neutral/basic style. Also, comments like "why can't you be interesting" are causing people to be ashamed of their hobbies and preferences. Enjoy popular literature. Dye your hair blonde without shame. Be yourself, you're great!

We Live In A Society
Logos are specifically designed to be distinctive and memorable. Plants don't exactly prioritize that.
True, yet, I do find it sad that a lot of people can't distinguish an oak from a beech. Or know what a mountain ash is.... or whatever kind of plant is native and abundant to the place where you all live.

Nearly all of those logos usually also have the name of the company written near them. Very few trees ever come with name tags. It reminds me of the one where people complained that most children could name more Pokemon than real animals, and someone pointed out that real animals don't say their name every time you see them.
We should name animals according to what sound they make. i'd very much enjoy walking my pet woof, but I'd still be annoyed when he charges off after meows, chirps, and caws.
Load More Replies... maybe that's because we no longer live in nature and have to know which plant is which in order to not eat something poisonous? ie we no longer need that knowledge? However, knowing which brand is which can affect your wallet, affordability, buying decisions, future maintenance costs, etc. So for example I recognise Apple and VW as signs of good quality. My laptop for example is 12 and still awesome. the McD logo warns you that the food is not good and will probably give you heart problems over time. Etc etc. These are relevant signs for our relevant context.
Lol. I said something like this, but a little… less direct 😂

Honestly these are just kinda poorly drawn which one is supposed to be holly? I thought it was maple, rowan, pine/or yew, oak, birch, and elm

Its almost like the brands are designed to be recognized and the plants are not.
These are the brands: Crocodile, volks wagon, sweatshop phone, Nike, McDonalds, and facebook. These are the plants: Leaves.
I can't believe all that advertising by trees is not reaching an audience
Lol. I hereby declare that Beech leaves and Ash leaves should have more global purchasing power than Apple Inc. and McDonald’s Corp. so that they may be recognized worldwide on-par with the aforementioned companies!

Ah yes BoredPanda just has to virtue signal on how clever they are. Post dumb, me so clever. Like its a little interesting that there are things we recognize more due to marketing forces over things that are more natural. That in itself is an interesting point about the structure of society and a point to think about what we recognize more and why.
Uhhh…maple, idk what that one is, some coniferous plant, oak, birch, and idk the last one
I love how stupid this one is. “So you can identify all of these visually distinctive logos which you encounter on a near daily basis accompanied by their brand’s name, but you can’t easily identify all of these random poorly-drawn leaves whose names you don’t need to know on a regular basis and are not labeled when you encounter them in everyday life? Boom. I just blew your mind.”
I couldn’t name all the brands but I also couldn’t name all the leaves from plants without seeing the plants they came from.
Maple, ash(?), pine or fir, oak, I forget what they’re called but they’re everywhere, same as previous.
So, the point being made is plants need a better marketing department. Got it. /s
I may be wrong because they're not perfect drawings but I'm guessing (from top left to right) Maple or Sycamore, Ash or Rowan, Pine or Fir, Oak, Cherry maybe chestnut, and I confess I'm unsure of the last one. xP a Rhododendron, maybe?
One is designed to make you remember it and the other is only a piece of a plant.
not really, all of the brands do different things. All types of leaves basically do the same thing, so it's not really necessary to know the different types of leaves unless you plan on living off of them.
Those are really poorly drawn plants, they look like someone simply googled leaf clip art, rather than actually using photos of real leaves and plants.

Gonna see some posts of dogs or something to wash the cringe away.
Yes indeed, I feel quite nauseous after this!

I was hoping someone would mention this! Those comics really irritate me. It's like they're blowing up issues that don't even exist & it feels like the artist sits in a room all day trying to appeal to his audience of edgelords.

Hey my fellow pandas...quick question..I've been a reader of BP for quite some time and started with the app, about 2 years ago now I started reading BP via the website because I noticed threads would have way more entries in the morning vs. Later that same afternoon while using the app but the website gave you the entire thread no matter what time of day it was. Now I've noticed that the BP site is now doing the same thing, (start a thread with 100 entries and Later it gets cut to 50 or 30? Why does this happen and can it be fixed? Anyone else notice this too??
I noticed that as well, don't really know why.
Load More Replies... Is it just me or were there a LOT of angry people replying to this post?
I dont get the hate for all these posts. They just seem like shower thought style posts.
Maybe it's the time of day, but I noticed as well.
