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.

Oh No My Heart
Damn 😔
Don't go chasing waterfalls, stick to the rivers and lakes that you're used to
A True Story
What A Profound Messages
Bricks That Can Call Bad
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)
Everyone Is Dumb
Society, Am I Right? :/
So This Is Why Match Bad
Human Footprint
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".
Poking
You Do Realize Nokia Makes Smartphones?
I'm 14 And I Ended Racism
Calm Down Edgelord
If this actually happened then I bet the teacher told them "NO TALKING BACK-"
So Deep
Comedy Good. People Bad
Well, if you can't do comedy without offending (usually marginalized) people, then your comedy is probably sh#t.
Moon Good Bathroom Bad
Problem Solved: Buy Wireless Headphones
Almost
I think this one is kinda clever. Not groundbreaking, but I like it
A Friend Posted This Unironically On Facebook. Cellphone Bad And Bird Good I Guess
Here, Have Another One
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!
The Untrustworthy Salt
So do cocaine and starch. I guess we just shouldn't trust powdery white thingies
Apparently so do cocaine and super absorbent, the stuff that absorbs the liquid in diapers and sanitary pads. My father used to work for a company that made incontinence products. One time my father's boss was flying to a conference, and had several samples of super absorbant with him. Someone stole his briefcase in the airport. If you've ever played with super absorbent, or seen a diaper in a pool, you know that the white powder turns into a 'gel' and expands when it comes into contact with liquid. So if it were to happen in an enclosed space, like, say, someone's sinus cavities... The boss was able to recover his briefcase later at the hospital. He never did get his super absorbent samples back.
“Whom” you trust? Since neither sugar nor salt are human beings, you do mean “which” you trust, right?
Is this super obvious to everyone else? I'm a baker, but I don't know if that's why it's so obvious
The one on the left is sugar. They should have used fine salt as their example.
Now that you put them side by side, I can see the difference. Thank you!
when i was a kid, my teacher at church did an object lesson about following rules and she brought cookies and i was picked to go to the front of the class and get one, i was so excited because i rarely win anything or get chosen for stuff. when i got to the front, i took one bite and realised that she used salt instead of sugar.
This is like those old saying your grandparents said that you rolled your eyes at because they weren't literally true. But then realised later the point is not really about the items in the idiom it's about the message itself which is conveyed by a device I.e. the salt and sugar. To me whats dumb is people negging on this because it's not literally a good point. The literal point of idioms dont have to be good it's the underlying message, so critique that.

Gonna see some posts of dogs or something to wash the cringe away.
Yes indeed, I feel quite nauseous after this!
Load More Replies... You should add here most of the stuff from these "Yes, but..." posts which pop here once in a while. The level of "deep" is comparable.
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.
