    I have never seen the hastag used for weight. We always used lbs. I have also never played tic tac toe. It was x's an o's in my parish.

    The creator is an idiot but the poster, I think, correctly put it in YLYL given the lack of a current cringe thread.

    It appears to be originally a feminist picture with the "#womyn" etc and the person put it up as a "look at this stupidity" thing

    Looking at the reactions behind them, I presume the old biddies are protesting against gay marriage or something.

    Probably not Funny, (Although the Poster probably thought it was) so didn't post it it YLYL.

    Apparently, A passenger posted this on Facebook right before he boarded Malaysia Airlines MH17. It reads "If it disappears, this is what it looks like."

    I saw it slightly differently (and in a more sinister/ironic way...): some people believe that the universe is ruled by giant lizards/reptilians... so having some sort of reptile (Iguana? Chameleon? Komodo Dragon? Whatever that was), with Reign as a superimposed title, takes on a whole new meaning (at least, that's how I saw it).

    If you think that's "The Original", you're sorely mistaken.
    The song was already 31 years old when Hasselhoff covered it.

    Am I the only one who hates those round flag-people memes? Just don't find them funny whatsoever.
    Also, what's the deal with having pictures with foreign words in them? It's not funny if you can't understand it!

    The flag shadow looks like the podium's shadow, which makes it look like it's floating. Not particularly funny.

    well allegedly aliens built the pyramids as shown by the documentary Stargate sg1. So people actually assume they went around with the anti gravity devices lifting the big rocks what with them being aliens and all. The dissonance in the joke is an alien working away like a human slave , doing the hard slog us mere humans. Ja get it ?

    now I demand a laugh after explaining that....
