Tastefully offensive—what a delightful oxymoron. Causing someone to feel resentful, upset, or annoyed in an appropriate manner that shows good aesthetic judgment. Cheers to that! Oh, was it a bit confusing? Don’t worry, the following tweets and memes will embody the meaning.
Shared by the Social Media Page "Tastefully Offensive," these bits of human communication add some much-needed spice to our daily lives, especially when they reflect the more chaotic aspects of what it means to be a human in 2023. Or at least, what’s left of us…

Life is a complex bucket full of unknowns. You put your hand into the murky water, continuously wondering what you’ll find. Some days it’s a few golden coins; other times it’s a slimy electric eel that’s not too happy to be disturbed. Thing is, you can’t avoid shoving your hand in it, elbow-deep, as it is part of the human experience.
Those said experiences can be very nicely summed up in 280 characters or less, as over 368 million monthly active users worldwide do so on a daily basis. Twitter is the place to be if you want to get immersed in chaos, but for those of us that can’t handle the extent of it, this social media page called “Tastefully Offensive” shares the most painfully relatable tweets out there.
Except for the whole genius / godfather of evolutionary theory thing.
Load More Replies...Darwin was a genius, but he also has serious mental health issues. His home life was quite tragic and unfortunately medical science was extremely primitive. Today he would probably be diagnosed with anxiety and depression, but at the time he was prescribed cold water therapy. Where he was subjected to buckets of ice cold water being poured over him to "cure" him.
He also suffered from a chronic digestive ailment that caused him to spend much of his time aboard the HMS Beagle doing this … 🤢🤮🤮🤮
Load More Replies...He needed a duvet day (and some decent mental health support because the poor chap was plagued with depression and anxiety for years)
Question: Do some people wake up and not feel like this? I thought thought this was the everyday human experience.
Not gonna lie, this made me laugh but also made me want to cry. Lol. This is my exact headspace today. And most days for about the last three or four weeks.
And for the last 2-3 years. Imagine Darwin going thru 2020 dumpster fire. Or seeing what we've done to our world in the last 160 years.
Load More Replies...It was not when I check the death dates on Wikipedia. Anne Elizabeth Darwin died 1851.
Load More Replies...Also me every Monday and Tuesday... by Wednesday, I feel more human 😄
I have that in my diary for October 1st too! And for October 2nd and October 3rd and ...
I have days like that! I feel better knowing Charles Darwin also felt the same.
Isn't that when he was trying to figure out what barnacles are? (They weren't sure if they were in the Molluscae or the Crustacea)
Everyday since Biden took office and screwed Americans every way he could: illegals, drugs, crime, taxes, inflation, on ,& on. Then to top it off, pro abortion pelosi who's BANNED from communion at her own church, DEMANDS same church to perform an exorcism. I guess it didn't work as she & the rest are still all here.
The little bits of a person that make them that much more interesting.
160+ years later, nothing has changed. That’s My daily mantra .
He has my sympathy. Life was not easy for him. He suffered many physical illnesses. Not to mention personal tragedy seeing two children die in infancy and another at age 10. It is said his work "On the Origin of Species" is the last groundbreaking scientific work interested people in general are able to read and understand.
From now, if anyone ask me how I'm doing, I'm going to reply: feel like Charles Darwin. Without elaborating any further. Only when prompted, I will add: on 1st October 1861.
I find it amazing that it was so unusual that it rated a dairy entry..
I wonder if he wrote this after he wrote his review of Aboriginal people in his book The Voyage of the Beagle. It wasn't very flattering to say the least
The page’s slogan is “The True Memeing Of Life.” But what is it actually like to be a human? What is the purpose of it all? Is there a purpose at all to be sat in front of your glowy screen, using your hands to swipe across a bit of glass for hours on end, just to get a hit of happiness? Lots of questions, and I don’t know if we’ll find any answers, but let’s try!
The “human condition” can be defined as the features and key events of human life, including birth, learning, emotion, aspiration, morality, conflict, and death. Sometimes it is even referred to as the meaning of life, and, not surprisingly, this topic has intrigued and perplexed the minds of philosophers, religious figures, and scientists alike.
Buddhism teaches that existence is a perpetual cycle of suffering, death, and rebirth from which humans can be liberated via the Noble Eightfold Path. Meanwhile, many Christians believe that humans are born in a sinful condition and are doomed in the afterlife unless they receive salvation through Jesus Christ.
Philosophers have provided many perspectives on the meaning of life. Many know of René Descartes’ quote, “I think, therefore I am.” He believed the human mind, particularly its faculty of reason, to be the primary determiner of truth. One modern school, existentialism, attempts to resolve an individual’s sense of disorientation and confusion in a universe believed to be absurd.
Netflix movies need to make more sense while I’m scrolling on my phone and not actually paying attention
I swear those kind of people hover their hands over the horn the moment they stop at a red light. It’s the only explanation for how quick the blow it the moment the light goes green
Perhaps more fundamental concepts summarize the more universal aspects of the human condition: 1. An awareness of the inevitability of suffering and death, 2. An understanding of evil and sin, and 3. The recognition of an intelligent being who intervenes in human affairs.
The more we grow, the more of these we realize, as well as the absolute fact of how fragile life is. There is, inherent in the human condition, an uneasiness as we search for peace and calm. As William James says, “There is something wrong about us as we naturally stand.” Material possessions, no matter how plentiful, cannot make us happy, and thus, we search for more.
On the other side of the same coin, we have nihilism, a philosophy that rejects generally accepted or fundamental aspects of human existence, such as objective truth, knowledge, morality, values, or meaning. Essentially, life is meaningless, human values are baseless, and knowledge is impossible.
It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence. Among philosophers, Friedrich Nietzsche is most often associated with nihilism. For Nietzsche, there is no objective order or structure in the world except what we give it.
A common thread in the literature of the existentialists is coping with the emotional anguish arising from our confrontation with nothingness, and they expended great energy responding to the question of whether surviving it was possible. Passionate commitment, be it to conquest, creation, or whatever, is itself meaningless. Welcome to nihilism.
Then forgetting that and putting it in the sink where it promptly gets something nasty on it
Omg me too! I’m always shocked and confused that it’s red. Maybe “vert verde” in other languages throws me off.
The question of our existence is complex and multifaceted, as one would expect such a question to be—wherever you look, there will be a theory as to what your life should aspire to be, or not be. So choose one and run with it. At the end of the day, we can live another day for some juicy Twitter content and good laughs with a cup of coffee.
As you continue scrolling through this list, make sure you upvote your favorites, leave some comments along the way, and make sure to have a day full of happiness! 'Til the next one!
Aaaaaaaand there’s the existential crisis I mentioned in a previous comment. So if you’ll excuse me
Fun Fact: In the UK, they used to be called Opal Fruits until they changed it to Starburst. And Snickers was Marathon. Anyone else remember that?

It tastes better straight out of the bucket. When it’s still hard. With a fork.
And don’t get me started on those moments when it’s just like: I’m very sore right now. Me: what, why? My body: 🤷
In the Savo region of Finland, this is called a kalakukko, which translates to fish-rooster. It's not really a pocket though, but a big loaf-sized rye bread filled with fish an pork.
The first aid officer at my last job was scared of blood, so I did all the blood stuff. Her answer to this question would have been a firm "maybe".
I love how his tied-back hair gets more and more discombobulated as the glasses builds go on XD
You know what you are getting with a Holiday Inn, Airbnb is too much of a gamble for me.
One time I was holding three of them and they all went off simultaneously and I may have panicked a little 😅
Hmm. I usually feel resentment and impending boredom in those three minutes.

That was day one for my husband, the man just turns his brain off and goes to sleep?! I can't and I'm jealous
Heck I do that now, no sense spending money on hotdog or hamburger buns and eat two just to toss the rest. Waste of money
My baby sister got kicked out of her Kung Fu class because somehow she got too good for her age and kinda injured a grown man. They said that she was too young to learn proper control. She's 42 and we're still waiting on that.
Saying "my life sucks" when things go wrong: - self-deprecating - depressing - makes you sad Saying "Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus wouldn't want this for me" when things go wrong: - motivating - makes you think about Spinosaurus - reminds you that Spinosaurus cares for you (I stole this from a meme but it felt relevant)
Translation for all dogs on BP: woof bark arf arf woof-woof barrrrk
Actually I saw an interview (Graham Norton I think) Ehen she revealed it was made up by her parents. Can't remember her real name but it's an embellishment
I always forget what got shoved up there when I first moved. Can't find x item? Mystery cabinet!

As far as I can tell, their only purposes are to fulfill masochists and slow down consumption.
first of all, the video doesn't show the solidarity among kids but the exact moment of window breaking. can you explain me, please, how video would show something which is not its content? also they wrote they would "reveal" it in the "perpetrator" wedding. you believe they want to underline solidarity instead of embarass the "perpetrator" in front of so many people?!
You know that scared of clowns thing? I crocheted two really cute clowns in cheery colours about 30 years ago and every grandchild and great grandchild refused to play with them. Teddies? Yay! Stuffed doggies? Gimme! Soft and cuddly cute clowns? Run! I'm going to donate them and I bet they end up in the bins. I think I'm posting in the wrong place but I can't be bothered to copy, delete and paste. Oops. 🖖
