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".

    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!

    True, yet, I do find it sad that a lot of people can't distinguish an oak from a beech. Or know what a mountain ash is.... or whatever kind of plant is native and abundant to the place where you all live.

    Nearly all of those logos usually also have the name of the company written near them. Very few trees ever come with name tags. It reminds me of the one where people complained that most children could name more Pokemon than real animals, and someone pointed out that real animals don't say their name every time you see them.

    We should name animals according to what sound they make. i'd very much enjoy walking my pet woof, but I'd still be annoyed when he charges off after meows, chirps, and caws.

    maybe that's because we no longer live in nature and have to know which plant is which in order to not eat something poisonous? ie we no longer need that knowledge? However, knowing which brand is which can affect your wallet, affordability, buying decisions, future maintenance costs, etc. So for example I recognise Apple and VW as signs of good quality. My laptop for example is 12 and still awesome. the McD logo warns you that the food is not good and will probably give you heart problems over time. Etc etc. These are relevant signs for our relevant context.

    Ah yes BoredPanda just has to virtue signal on how clever they are. Post dumb, me so clever. Like its a little interesting that there are things we recognize more due to marketing forces over things that are more natural. That in itself is an interesting point about the structure of society and a point to think about what we recognize more and why.

    I love how stupid this one is. “So you can identify all of these visually distinctive logos which you encounter on a near daily basis accompanied by their brand’s name, but you can’t easily identify all of these random poorly-drawn leaves whose names you don’t need to know on a regular basis and are not labeled when you encounter them in everyday life? Boom. I just blew your mind.”

    If only plants would pay to have their names in front of me all the time. Also - I can name 4 of the plants so that's not too bad considering the drawings are rather poor quality.

    I may be wrong because they're not perfect drawings but I'm guessing (from top left to right) Maple or Sycamore, Ash or Rowan, Pine or Fir, Oak, Cherry maybe chestnut, and I confess I'm unsure of the last one. xP a Rhododendron, maybe?

    not really, all of the brands do different things. All types of leaves basically do the same thing, so it's not really necessary to know the different types of leaves unless you plan on living off of them.

    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.
