The internet is a wild place. Every time I think I’ve seen it all, a new TikTok trend or Twitter thread comes along to prove me wrong. And one of the best corners of the internet to come across the perfect blend of inexplicable, no-context pics and hilarious, painfully relatable memes is the “I Would Prefer Not To” Instagram account.
Below, you'll find some of our favorite pics from the page that might perplex and mesmerize you. (And hopefully get a few chuckles out of you!) Don’t ask us to explain these photos, because we’d really prefer not to, but I think you’ll find that they speak for themselves.

I Would Prefer Not To is a relatively simple place. It falls into the genre of odd, no-context pic Instagram accounts, with some great memes sprinkled in along the way too. And it’s certainly great at what it does, as the page has amassed an impressive 175k followers through sharing over 4,800 photos. From bizarre screenshots from social media to memes that you might prefer not to admit that you relate to, this chaotic Instagram account has it all. And while you might be wondering what on Earth it is about accounts like this that we love so much, have no fear. We’ll try to get to the bottom of why you are confused and perhaps unsettled by these photos, yet you still can’t stop scrolling.
Let’s start with why we love memes so much. If you’re anything like me, you remember the very first memes you ever encountered. I was in middle school, and back then, memes were incredibly simple, with Bad Luck Brian and Philosoraptor taking the internet by storm. While the punchlines were usually straight to the point and didn’t require much background knowledge, we bonded over this “cultural information exchange”. According to Ali Arslan at Make Use Of, part of the reason we love memes is because they’re an opportunity to quickly and easily share jokes with one another.

Tbf, this is more for dogs. Cats, IIRC, didn't come to us for our food but for the pests our granaries attracted.
Memes can also be a godsend for us when we’re in need of a source of collective coping. Remember all of the COVID-19 memes that came about during 2020? The pandemic was an absolutely terrible thing that caused heartache for millions of people around the world, but at the same time, we needed some sort of relief. After months on end cooped up in our homes, we we desperate for some humor to lighten the mood, and the fact that the entire world was experiencing the same thing helped the jokes become even funnier.
“It's common for certain events, happenings, or behaviors to hit the global community or a cultural group as a whole,” Arslan writes for Make Use Of. “We all feel the same emotions, tensions, and stress in such situations, making our feelings mutual… The reason why memes have become so popular is that they help people cope collectively. When a stressor is converted into a funny meme, most people can relate to it, talk about it, and feel that they are not alone in that situation. This makes the stressor less painful and easy to cope with.”

Memes can also be great to provide a new perspective on an event, sometimes allowing viewers to approach anything from the global pandemic to their mental health issues with a sunnier outlook. “This change of perspective makes people change how they see a stressful situation,” Arslan explains. “They are a source of humorous enlightenment for people. Another interesting thing to note about this type of media is that it brings all this positivity through the efforts of the ordinary people, or memers as they are called. The main intention of these memers is to create a viral meme. And in that process, they explore different perspectives, unintentionally bringing forth positivity.”

Denmark is the same geographic size as South Carolina, with roughly 5 million citizens. It makes sense with such a drastic difference in population size, their lawbreakers can get actual rehab help, and it truly does drastically reduce recidivism rate. The same for Norway and Sweden. What people have to remember is, with a well funded and HIGHLY successful educational system in place, after gymnasium (equivalent to US high school) most students choose to go to University. They can concentrate on their studies because they really do want to be successful. How? Because their education system is well funded. When I went to school in Sweden I literally, literally never met 1 student that ever thought or said anything remotely like, "college? Nah... I can't get financial aide because my single mother makes 30k a year and they said she makes too much money for me to qualify.". (**That was me. That's exactly what I was told. My mom made too much money. 30 f*****g thousand dollars a year.) Whe

This is life sometimes. Most of the time I want to just rant, rant, and rant because I feel that I can trust you with my life. I don't want a solution, I don't want to "be grateful for what I have", and I don't want to be ignored. What I do want is someone who will listen and give a solution when I ask for it.
It’s easier to go viral today than ever before, but we don’t all want our names and faces to be public online. TikTok fame isn’t for the faint of heart, but pages like I Would Prefer Not To allow people to anonymously participate in meme culture and the hilarity of sharing strange pics online without any of the risks that social media stars often face. Followers can share and repost these pics, so that even wider audiences can enjoy them and bond over the jokes to provide a safer social experience online. When we bond over memes that comment on social moments and experiences we’re all having, we’re reminded that we’re not alone. And we should never go a day in this bleak world without laughing!

When I was a child, almost an entire family at our church was wiped out by negligent log truck drivers who didn't properly secure their load. Daughter was killed by a load shifting and coming through her windshield, father and son were killed by a load shifting and coming through their windshield right before/after the funeral (I don't remember details, I was very young and heard my parents talking about it). Both trucks involved were owned by the same company. The only survivor, the mother, sued them out of existence, but that doesn't bring back loved ones. I've also had a small'ish log fall off of a trailer in front of me and had no choice other than to run it over as there was traffic in the other lane, luckily my car wasn't damaged. Many of the log truck drivers are those whose driving record is so bad that they can't get a job driving anywhere else, f*king terrifying to be around, especially on a 2 lane highway.

While pages like I Would Prefer Not To don’t seem to have any political or social agenda behind them, it is possible for accounts like this to have a huge impact on the real world. According to Helen Brown at the BBC, memes are “a language in themselves, with a capacity to transcend cultures and construct collective identities between people. These sharable visual jokes can also be powerful tools for self-expression, connection, social influence and even political subversion.” She goes on to explain how memes have helped progress the Me Too movement and allowed marginalized groups to bond online and form a collective identity.

Memes can also be beneficial for individuals struggling with depression, as one study found they tend to rate memes mocking their mental health issues as “more humorous, relatable and shareable”. Though it’s debatable whether or not heavy topics should be joked about, many find these memes to be comforting, as they demonstrate how common these experiences are. So even if you would prefer not to admit that you relate to some of the memes featured on this list, you can rest assured knowing that you’re not alone in having those feelings.

Memes also have a fascinating talent for influencing our points of view on anything from food preferences to politics. Joshua Nieubuurt, who studies misinformation and disinformation at the University of Maryland in the US and the University of Okinawa in Japan, claims that memes can be regarded as a “modern digital equivalent of the propaganda leaflet". He details how they have been used to support or undermine arguments for Covid-19 restrictions and vaccinations, using humor and sarcasm to delegitimize the opinions of people on either side of the debate. And when it comes to politics, apparently 30 video or gif political memes that were created during the 2017 UK General Election amassed a whopping 45 million or more views.

I heard that if you put a wooden spatula on the pot, it prevents overboiling. I have never tested it though. Does it actually work?
Zoe Vokes 2 years ago
Anything wooden works. I use a wooden spoon. It works for boiling water. I’m not sure about thicker liquids like soup.

if you put a wooden spoon across the top, it is nigh impossible to boil over.

milk has quite a specific boiling point where it just goes crazy. You always have to watch it.

Oooo there is a trick when your brain keeps you up at night, just think of the place you love the most, without people and just think of the sounds surrounding the place, for me it’s the beach, the crunch of the sand and the water splashing, it helps me go to sleep quickly when my brain decides to just spam random stuff, I really hope this helps

It does make a point in it's own way. The thing I found funny is in the top left hand corner which says, "choking hazard." the top right hand corner notes, "this is not a toy." No toy to choke on because there is no toy.

Okay, I finally did a deep dive and figured out it's from a video by Death Grips called I've Seen Footage. The original photo is just of the lead singer MC Ride in a cemetery, apparently the moth and bat-person were photoshopped in. You can see the original pic here: https://youtu.be/sticXkHxZC4?t=133 but you'll need to pause it just at that second since the images in the video change every second or faster.

That's actually really terrible advice because the only thing stopping me from doing some things that I shouldn't do are having to live with the consequences. If I lived like there were no long term consequences I'd make some bad decisions.

Death. A cruel death cause by one of two things. 1. Teacher man dies slowly from a house fire, but he only dies after he gets to see his whole family die first, leaving him with guilt in his final painful moments. 2. Teacher man is killed. Teacher man is kidnapped whilst walking back from *x* thing and went missing. He knows the whole time he will never make it out alive which leads him to withold the guilt of not giving clarity to his family. He would die a slow and painful death 6 months post capture.
