For a long time, I was a staunch holdout against social media. Eventually, I caved and created an account for a work-related reason, and now I find myself scrolling through my feed all day. But let’s be real: there are some things that pop up that I wish I could filter out to make my Facebook experience a bit less cringeworthy. (Don’t worry, the fun stuff is coming up shortly!)
Distressing Animal Content
I genuinely admire my friends who advocate for animal welfare, whether it’s about pets or wildlife. However, while I’m trying to enjoy a quick break, I really don’t need to see images of emaciated animals amidst my favorite food pics and the latest memes. If you could just stick to the text, that would be fantastic.
Bugs
I have a serious phobia of insects. Please keep those extreme close-ups away from my feed. Bees are an exception; I find them intriguing—especially when viewed from the comfort of my screen.
Arachnids
Why are spiders suddenly everywhere? I never clicked on that viral video showing a giant spider bursting into a swarm of tiny ones, yet it somehow found its way into my feed. Now there are reports of spiders raining down in Australia—yikes! Can we just agree to ban spiders from the timeline?
Adam Sandler
I hate to admit it, but I just don’t care for Adam Sandler. Whenever I see a post asking about favorite Sandler films, my thoughts are definitely not suitable for work!
Disturbing Stories About Children
As a parent, I can hardly watch crime dramas anymore. The last thing I want is to read about real-life horrors that kids face. Ignorance is bliss sometimes.
Repetitive Posts
Do you remember that ridiculous dress debate? It felt like every third post was about it! It would be great if Facebook could group similar posts or limit repeats—because honestly, I could care less about the dress after the first time.
The Kardashians
Actually, I think there’s a filter for this now. Thank goodness!
Posts That Make Me Feel Inadequate
I’ve already ranted about this. Please stop telling me I’m doing everything wrong. It’s exhausting.
Mombods and Dadbods
We get it.
Kale Snacks
Kale? No thanks! It’s just not my thing, and one day, the world will come around to my way of thinking.
Now, let’s shift gears to the delightful content I love to see in my feed:
Adorable Animal Videos and Photos
From pets to wildlife, I can’t get enough of cute animal content.
Mouthwatering Food Posts
Yes, I am one of those people who never tires of seeing beautifully plated dishes. Keep them coming!
Heartwarming Stories
Stories about good deeds—like police officers buying meals for people in need or kind strangers helping each other—really uplift my day. I wish more of those stories gained the spotlight, especially alongside the negative news.
Silly Criminals Getting Arrested
Like the guy who ended up in cuffs for liking his own wanted photo on Facebook. Classic!
James Franco Updates
They never fail to make me chuckle.
