Do you ever find yourself mindlessly scrolling social media , following random links , only to come back to your senses an hour later and wonder what you just saw?
Forrest Gump famously said that life is like a box of chocolates. You could say the same about the internet: it’s like a box of chocolates because some of it is good, while lots of it is mysterious and gross.
You’ll probably feel confused, among other emotions, when you’re done with this list.
“The real questions.”
Look, we all know why the cross is the symbol of Christianity in general and Jesus specifically. But if you know even the broadest of broad strokes about Jesus, you know that there’s no reason he should ever be depicted wearing a cross around his neck.
“Just what.”
Do you ever find something online that you’ve never seen before, kind of grosses you out while at the same time being completely unsurprising? Yeah, this is one of those images. If furries are a thing, then dog-people are going to be a thing .
“Wholesome bond between siblings!”
The thing I love about internet jokes is that you might not even realize you’re looking at a joke until you reach the punchline. I thought this was a random story someone was tweeting about until I got to the end.
“Is America… a meme now?”
The U.S. has an outsized role on the global stage — not just when it comes to geopolitics, but also cultural influence. It makes sense that people elsewhere would roleplay as Americans . It’s just that the portrayal isn’t all that flattering.
“Name one thing in this photo.”
Before your mind explodes as you squint at this photo trying to make out even one object, just stop. This is an image generated specifically to show a scene that looks familiar, but is altogether impossible to decipher.
“Took me a second or two…”
I thought we were here to laugh at her shoddy lipstick application, but then I saw the nervous looking guy who’s weirdly centered in the background. I don’t want to start rumors or anything, but I think they might know each other.
“Not so incredible…”
The Incredibles has already led to a creepy range of fan fiction scenarios. Factor in the possibility of infidelity and things get just a little more adult for a movie that’s largely intended to be watched by kids.
“Why u livin with trash tho.”
I’m kind of surprised there isn’t a superhero called White Trash at this point. It has a ring to it. My superhero name, by these standards, is decidedly less catchy: Beige Water Bottle. I guess it could be worse.
“Cursed Christmas.”
The actual pro tip here — the one about a boyfriend you’re not sure about — is actually a practical, if ruthless, tip. The second tip — the one about elderly relatives — is certainly ruthless. Whether it’s practical or not is up to you.
“It can’t be.”
I thought we lost Michael Jackson all the way back in 2009. In fact, I remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard the news. Now I can remember where I was and what I was doing when I found out he was okay.
“So hospitable.”
I’ve always seen Swedes as friendly, tolerant people who have a rivalry with other Nordic countries. This sign would certainly back up my impression. The only surprise here is that there’s no fighting words for Norwegians or Finns.
“Holup.”
I like a good plot twist, and this little slice of life is a short story, a joke and a lament all in one. Then again, there could be a final plot twist of this guy going to Hawaii to marry his mom.
“We’re expecting…”
Pregnancy photoshoots are almost a necessity at this point for any couple that’s expecting and wants to share the news on social media. In fact, these photos are so commonplace that they’re bleeding over to feature people who aren’t pregnant and will never be able to get pregnant.
“Double HolUp..”
I don’t even know if this exchange is real, but that didn’t stop me from cringing hard. I’m not sure if I feel more for Camryn or the guy she’s texting with. Someone needs to learn how to use the block button.
“…but do you agree with him?”
Lots of people consider it rude to be told that they look older than their age. This is a perfectly pleasant looking person, but if she needs a fake ID, it means she looks about 15 years older than she actually is.
“Lol, this actually happened.”
In a world in which personal privacy seems to matter less and less, it’s nice to see the Dutch police doing the right thing and protecting this bird’s anonymity. If the day comes that this bird is found guilty, then it will be appropriate to remove the black bar.

“The guru of astrology answered…”
Yeah, it’s Earth that’s making all of us sad. Now that that’s out of the way, we can move onto other things. Most importantly, how long do I need to charge my crystals in the light of a full moon?
“You are getting a raise man.”
This sounds a bit like a story that Ralph Wiggum might tell, but I believe it. If you worked in retail and didn’t hook up with half the staff, you weren’t doing it right.
“Funny bunny.”

This photo truly blows my mind. When I read the original caption, I could only see a bird flying across the sky. But when I read the comment, it was impossible not to see a cartoon bunny doing a ski jump. I guess it’s open to interpretation.
