Why do people post utter drivel on facebook????

axisus · May 2017

A female 'friend' of mine just posted this. She seems proud as her name is on the list!

Honesty, I just want to shake her and say "DAMN IT WOMAN, WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED TO YOU?? WHAT IS GOING THROUGH YOUR TINY MIND TO THINK THIS SHIT MEANS ANYTHING OR ANYONE IS EVEN INTERESTED????? GET A GRIP ON YOUR LIFE WOMAN!!!!!"

I don't have many friends ......

It's a serious question - Why do people post this stuff? I figure maybe it's a need to be noticed, a need to be approved by others, a need to be a part of other people's lives?

Well said man on an internet forum full of strangers.

Nope. It's utter drivel. You are correct.

Heard an interesting thing about data on my digital wireless while driving somewhere earlier.

Apparently most Facebook posts that start 'My Hudbsnd is' are followed by things like 'awesome', 'gorgeous', 'the best', 'my best friend', etc - while most Google searches which start with 'My Husband is' are followed by things like 'unfaithful', 'a loser', 'useless', etc....

No I don't but it doesn't stop me from being a twat or making sweeping generalisations about 1.94 billion people, the majority of whom I don't know.

Ah, you're a Twitter user then.

If it said "Mums who are into Hot Threesomes " and a list of names would it peak your interest a little more ?
The Devil is in the detail.

I was for a while. I thought it was the high brow form of social media but my well crafted, witty and often acerbic tweets fell on deaf ears and it was a one way conversation. After I exceeded 12 followers I realised I had more followers than Jesus and felt it was time to transcend, so I closed my account.

I did have a LinkedIn account for a while as I thought it would be good to network professionally. But after I was offered redundancy by my employer and went through a few months of unplugging myself from The Matrix, and decided that I had no appetite to network with other rats on a treadmill I also closed that account. I toyed with the idea of changing my profile to "Semi Professional Gambler" and posting ridiculous and narcissistic self destructive comments about alcoholism in the workplace, but decided against it.

This is the only place I am online now. A shallow, lonely, over weight, alcohol fuelled, fool, posing as a Stephen King character with a picture of Ken Dodd, posting nonsense about guitars and stuff.

Don't do facebook, twitter or any of the other things....... most of it seems a pile of shit as the OP has shown

Facebook - connect with 2 billion people and realise you don't like them and they don't like you, then quickly add everyone you've ever met so you look popular.

Twitter - pretend you are funny to a billion people who don't think you are!

Instagram - pretend you are sexy to a billion people who dont think you are!

LinkedIn - pretend you are networking when you really just want to know if the girls cold-calling you are hot or not.

I might be being cynical, but social media sucks my balls.

Also f**k memes. They stopped being funny when the cat got his cheeseburger.

Ah, this explains why my wife can't cook! Thanks, OP, very informative!

Howdy, Stranger!
