Today, we’re featuring a subreddit dedicated to people who said or did incredibly cringeworthy things and then backpedaled by saying “Just kidding.” It’s the r/OopsDidn’tMeanTo community. The problem? It’s pretty obvious these people did or said the awkward thing deliberately. That’s why the lie only makes it worse. We’ve collected the best, or rather the cringiest, screenshots that its members ever came across. So let us know your favorites by upvoting them, and check out our previous feature about the subreddit! We tend to lie online less in spaces where the people we know might hold us accountable. On sites like Facebook, Twitter (X), or Instagram, where our followers are mostly our friends. Social media platforms for professionals like LinkedIn are actually better in that regard than, say, paper resumes. Our “outside world” is all the accounts and people that we see but don’t know personally. That includes posts from strangers, news articles, and comments on any social media platform. Anonymous or not, we’re not familiar with these people on a personal level, so they are, essentially, outside our “bubble.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
