posted beside a video of a cat on a bed:
My silly cat cleaning himself. Around 1:10 seconds in is hysterical. Video experiment 1. And there's that weird face staring at me from under the pillows just to the right of the pear. WTF is that?! LOL Probably best to keep the sound muted. I had a fan on right next to the camera and it sounds like niagara falls or a tornado... I'm also using my cheap old broken tripod... So the motion is a bit jerky... The video tripod is smoother but I didn't want to take it out of its case. It's larger and takes longer to set up. The pear... well... I was experimenting with still photography, aperture, f-stops, and ISO settings ... on the pear... and also custom white balance based on the lighting... So that's why the pear is there. Low tech here. HAHA...

the worst thing about those is exactly like this thread. even if its something totally obvious people just keep doing it because some fuckin gif said "bet you can't".

a childhood friend of my sisters' i vaguely knew from when they were kids posted one of those banality followed by a threat macros that had some bible verse about following jesus and then 'like and you will go to heaven. ignore and you will go to hell.' i 'liked' it and then commented 'hope this works!' and she defriended me. my stepmother keeps posting these things to my wall of dogs that have come to some horrible end so i get to open facebook and o joy there's that story about cops slitting a shar-pei's throat in front of its owner cuz it wasn't on a leash. with images. thx. i think she had mentioned one of these stories to me once irl and i had agreed that yes torturing and killing dogs is horrible and may have mentioned that sometimes i harbor dreams of tracking down and killing these cops that kill dogs cuz it looked at them funny or barked at them and now here i am, some eli roth version of sarah mclachlan everyday. the other thing that's been happening is when some friend will have maybe engaged in slightly creepy but not that creepy behavior that maybe facebook doesn't need to let everybody know about ie __________ just liked four photos from the official dawn wells page.

The idea is to fill FB with more music, breaking the monotony of selfies and sensationalism. If you "like" this post you will be assigned a letter. Your task is to choose a band, musician or artist whose name begins with that letter, then post a link to a track by them on YOUR timeline, with this text as your status update... I received C.

I just really don't get what this is actually getting at. There's going to be an earthquake that's going to blow up the gas pipeline, and that's in turn going to somehow blow up the nuclear power plant? I don't think that's how it works.

i've stopped seeing these macros as much lately but i've also started being more vigilant about blocking people who post them (it's still probably not as many people who have blocked me after too many "life with the kid" updates but...)
