With a 280-character limit, there's not much room for long-winded stories, explanations or jokes on X. The platform, formerly known as Twitter, has become renowned for funny, fast and fabulous clapbacks, one-liners, and witty remarks. If someone offends you, you'll need to think on your feet, and out the box, if you want to respond. Lest the insult becomes history in a matter of minutes.
As always, X users were on top form in 2024, with a bunch of epic roasts that left burn marks right into the new year. Many didn't hold back, and dished out the sassiest, snarkiest, most savage snapbacks for those who dared to troll them. So good they were that someone out there just had to screenshot. Bored Panda has scoured the net for the best posts of people getting roasted better than a Thanksgiving turkey.

See, I hate people who go to someone else and expect them to go real cheap because it’s “easy work”. If you’re gonna ask other people to do your chores, you should expect to have to pay for it. It’s clearly not work you *want* to do, which is why you’re not doing it.
They're expecting the laborers to be so desperate for money that they can exploit them.

'Unskilled' means 'don't have a degree' not 'imma nitwit'. I know farmers with no special diplomas who make me look like a twaffle when I'm in their barns.
Nobody would refer to 'farming' as unskilled labor. 'Shoveling s**t out of a stall' however, is.
Load More Replies...This is part of the problem with where we are; everyone thinks they’re just paying for the work and base what they’re offering on how technically challenging they believe it to be. That is true to a point but you’re also paying someone for their time and labor. Just because a job is simple doesn’t mean it’s easy and people deserve to be compensated fairly for their time, especially if it’s a job you don’t want to or can’t do on your own.
All labor requires some type of skill. Some skills are easier to learn then others. But I don't believe there is such thing as truly "unskilled labor".
Remember to play to your strengths. If you're good at doing the mechanics or seeing direct the help your work does. Or even more complex but practical things - go to trade school. If on other hand you think about complex and myriad questions about a field of study - go to the university.
32 dollars an hour? Why not underpay them and set up a tip system instead, like you do for other unskilled labour so you can keep paying them jack sjit?
The guy who is waiting at Home Depot for random unskilled labor jobs would be charging 40 where I live. He has to feed and house his family on that pay
Seriously, can someone be so unimaginative as to wonder why someone might want to hire someone to do unskilled labour. For example, I am more than capable to put together an ikea set of drawers. Unfortunately in recent years, my back has degenerated and I can no longer physically manoeuvre the pieces. There are people who have busy jobs that demand long hours, there are people who might be looking after ageing parents. With regard to $32 per hour, I don't know what minimum wage is, but I'd rather spend maybe 25% above minimum wage and then give a tip according to the quality of work done. There's a difference between the sellers value of their time and the purchasers. But I would always go on recommendation from someone I knew (the advantage of having good relationships with neighbours).
You ought to see what skilled labour costs. You are paying for their knowledge and education, and/or their sweat and effort. Labour is only ever cheap when it's forced, or it's not worth having - if you find a room painter for $10/hr, there's a reason why they aren't charging more.
When I was younger (and not disabled) I did most all of my own stuff: replaced the roof, leveled and sodden my yard, changed out my electrical service, ran new plumbing... now I gladly (though it is a bit painful) pay people to do that stuff. And I don't always go with the lowest price, I go by reputation and quality of work.
Because of this thing called "the time value of money", which is one of the 999 fundamental economic principles that most people are oblivious to.
Why didn't he do it himself? He may have been in his seventies, recovering from a detatched retina, fighting cancer, have a bad back, etc. (All those things happen to apply to me, Yams, including the etc.)
Ive used unskilled laborors to help out with the entensive landscaping in my yard. A good friend knew some folks and it never looked better.

This cutting off content is BS. Someone should copy the list of the cut off stuff and make their own post with the remaining content that is now behind a paywall...
They want you to pay 5 bucks a month to continue. OR you could just wait a week and the list will be reposted as new here and on dozens of others sites.

Exactly! They copy FREE content and try to charge for it 🤣

When I get to the "subscribe now" banner, I just laugh. It is ridiculously hilarious to me that BP thinks I'm going to pay for content that I can just stroll over to reddit and read for free. Also, I'm here because I'm wasting time. I'm bored. I'm not so invested in any one post that I'm going to shell out money to keep reading. I'll just move on to the next. A post has 30 entries and you only want to show me 15? Cool, I'll read the 15 and then move onto a different post. Why on earth am I gonna pony up actual money?
