We can all agree that social media is no longer as raw and authentic as it was when it first came out. Gone are the days of people simply sharing the mundane moments of their days. Today, these platforms have also become tools to spread misinformation and toxicity, as many try hard to project a “perfect” image of themselves. 

However, this isn’t to say that the fun and wholesome side of the internet is completely gone. This Instagram page, for one, still has the memes and raw posts that will always provide amusement. 

We’ve collected some of the posts and compiled them into this list. Hopefully, scrolling through makes your screen time today more enjoyable.

    I think Ali can relax: there's a nice long neck on it so people will be able to remove it by themselves. Of course they _will_ need to remove it because they _will_ stick it up there.

    I'm sure there was a strong motivation for money behind this innovation.

    Given that the page currently has 211,000 followers (and counting), you could argue it gained that much traction because one or a few posts went viral. That then begs the question: what makes a piece of content spread almost instantly while others disappear without a trace? 

    Ariel Sheen, a researcher of digital culture and online influence, says it’s all about the story behind it.

    “The primary psychological reason content organically goes viral is because its headline conveys a simple, unexpected, concrete, credible, emotional story that is compellingly developed further in the corresponding material using novel data structured into information," Sheen told Bored Panda.

    This is why content marketing companies seek to produce and promote content that elicits in the reader high-arousal emotions such as joy, excitement, or anticipation. This, combined with surprise, acts as the primary engines for organic online engagement.”

    Sheen says timing also plays a role in virality. Heightened political activity, protests, and other notable events that impact public sentiment can help a piece of content spread like wildfire almost instantly. 

    “Foreign adversaries desire people to think and act in certain ways - and helping content aligned with their mission achieve virality is one of the ways they seek to achieve this,” he explained.

    Humans naturally yearn for connection, even digitally. As The Ad Firm CEO and digital communicator Cyrus Kennedy explains, the share button is essentially a stamp of approval and a declaration that “this is me.” This may result in a piece of content passed around to the point of virality.

    “People share to express their identity and affiliation, and the postings that move the farthest make that shortcut simple,” Kennedy explained. “I've seen technically outstanding content from our own clients go unnoticed since it gave the audience nothing about themselves to pass on.”

    With so many images, videos, and posts going viral each day, it’s easy to fall into the trap of mindlessly scrolling. This is why Sheen emphasizes the importance of emotional regulation practices. 

    “The most important habit we can do is reconsider an old truth most of us have heard our whole lives: time is money. When you find yourself mindlessly scrolling, pause for a moment and reflect: how could I better invest my time?”

    Kennedy, meanwhile, advises setting a time limit, preferably 20 minutes or less, before taking a time-out to engage in an offline activity. But ultimately, it’s all about mindfulness. 

    “Before posting, ask yourself why you were interested in the post. The difference between participation and collection is just one delay. Once you witness your own response, there's no longer a need to scroll in a senseless way.”

    Yes, you should work harder at overthrowing corrupt officials. Work harder at communicating with your neighbors to get meaningful legislation on the ballot. I’m talking about legislation for huge fines for pollution, for packaging life necessities in unrecyclable materials. You need better labor laws, so only run candidates who will pass them. Work on their campaigns. Do not reelect people who don’t act with your best interests in mind. This takes work. You need to write letters. Organize communities. Contact reporters. Make politicians pay attention to your concerns.
