facebook used to be even weirder. the top tens. telling you when people stopped being friends or when someone stopped being a fan of something.

Facebook's algorithms remind me of a well-meaning but obnoxious co-worker who keeps butting into conversations.
"Hey, guys, you hear about what the Red Hot Chili Peppers did now?""Facebook, why do you think any of us care about what the Red Hot Chili Peppers did now?""Lots of people are talking about them.""Are we talking about them? Do we ever talk about them?""I mean. You guys like music, right?""That wasn't the question.""OK, I'll come clean. You seem to be talking about lighting Nazis on fire an awful lot lately, and I thought you could use something to take your mind off things.""So you're suggesting we light Chad Smith on fire? I mean. It's not the stupidest thing you've ever suggested.""Oh, no, I didn't mean..." (face turns beet red, runs away)

Best friend just deactivated for the foreseeable future. I have no one to go onto Facebook and whine about Facebook with now.

I didn’t know this was happening but if I don’t get any awards I am going to be fucking livid.

I found a credit card in the street the other day and within 48 hours had located the owner (two towns over) on Facebook, ascertained that she wanted it destroyed, sent her a picture of me cutting it up and received a message of profuse thanks. It was like a window into a bizarre universe where the site had some kind of useful purpose.

I noticed that this thread is on ILM and briefly thought there was a new band called Facebook and I then unfortunately died believing that.

Facebook is pushing that "share a memory" junk where they make custom videos out of your old photos to boost engagement and I just literally got shown a bunch of happy cartoon characters dancing on my mom's grave. 🤦♂️ pic.twitter.com/6NKIXqqq9I— Patrick Gerard (@PatrickGerard01) August 21, 2018

Not to victim-blame; but images of loved ones’ graves are perhaps better suited for Tumblr.

Pretty wild flex from Zuckerberg here in Australia
Absolutely no idea how this will play out
