Oftentimes the more you try to sound profound, the shallower your message becomes. The subreddit 'I'm 14 and this is Deep' is a perfect example of this.

Its moderators describe this corner of the internet as "a place to talk about stupid 'deep and meaningful' philosophy found on blogs, Tumblr, Facebook, Reddit, or anywhere else."

"[These are] insights that people should have outgrown by the time they were 14. Jaden Smith is our patron saint, along with many deep Twitter posts."

Created all the way back in April 2013, the subreddit now unites over 1.1 million members who have built quite an extensive gallery of cringe. Here are some of their most popular posts.

    I love this one. I would change it to "world before I heard about your problem" and "world after I heard about your problem" and it would be perfect. (I'm IT support, not psychologist. For psychologist or something like that it would be little bit too far)

    It would make slightly more sense if it had "not" in front of "I'm", I don't get why they went with "ok'nt".

    Well, if you can't do comedy without offending (usually marginalized) people, then your comedy is probably sh#t.

    So, this person wants to talk about the fact that s/he enjoys being tied with wired headphones while scrolling social media? Not my kind of kink, but whatever floats their boat.

    I almost got drunk at school at 14, where I almost made out with the homecoming queen (who almost went on to be miss Texas but lost to a s**t with much bigger breastes). I almost dropped out to move to LA, where I was almost famous for almost a day.

    Interesting. Like yeah the fact you tried and just failed can be more sad then not trying and not getting it. It's like if your competing and you almost win and you beat yourself up over how you could have done that little extra to win. Whereas if you clearly dont win then there was no little thing you could have done to win.

    I'd say both are terrible. Commenting on one's look is always bad, alright. But shaming other people because they're more "mainstream" or less "quirky" than you is as bad, if not worse. There's nothing wrong with enjoying popular things and prefering neutral/basic style. Also, comments like "why can't you be interesting" are causing people to be ashamed of their hobbies and preferences. Enjoy popular literature. Dye your hair blonde without shame. Be yourself, you're great!

    If it's 1-2 class, I'd say that the kid is fast-thinking and making logical connections. He realised that suffix is the same and wants to know if the name "instagram" is related to -gram. It makes sense and isn't a stupid question.

    Problem is, with the picture on the left, the rabbits actually eat the leafy green part not the 'root' that we eat. The orange part actually isn't very healthy for them since it is loaded with sugar. So the rabbit on the right actually Does have the better crop, for rabbits.
