White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I’ll include Eminem and I don’t care if he’s been given the pass.
The concept of faith.
Not just for God.
The idea of glorifying believing something without evidence.
If you believe in someone based on prior actions, that isn’t faith.
If you put your faith in someone you don’t know, fucking cringe.
“Imma turn my brain off” shouldn’t be inspirational.
Nothing makes me cringe quite as hard as just have faith.
Bootlicking of the 1%
Adults saying “poop”
Am British where it’s what kids call it. For adults it’s poo or shit.
I change my answer – being British will always be cringe to me.
You’ve been sold a lie. There’s no “Bri’ish” or “Caw blimey guvna”. These are people from the UK who go abroad, suddenly get way more attention for their (slight) accent than they ever did back at home, and play to the popularity by Flanderizing themselves to appeal more to their foreign audience.
Any english/irish/scottish accent you hear on a mainstream TV show is not representative of the general population. Example: the BBC news accent is about as representative of the UK population as the 1950s MidWestern Radio accent was representative of the US population. It’s a caricature that everyone but a foreign audience just mentally tunes out
Large office buildings have been cringe to me for a few years. And wearing suits to the office, which just look like personalised school uniforms to me.
If I’m forced to wear an uniform to work, the employer should provide me with one.
The sound of people chewing. It induces such a visceral cringe but I can’t even explain why it bothers me so much. I just find the sound disgusting for some reason.
I feel it. My gf sometimes chews with her mouth open.
Ah, a fellow misophonia ‘enjoyer’!
Diva covers of songs that don’t fit the emotional tone of the song because they’re too busy showing off their vocal cords.
And people who love these songs.I can’t currently think of any particular women responsible for this,
or particular songs, but I’m quite sure it must have been Christmas song covers,
turning “Jingle Bells” into Aretha Franklin’s “Dr. Feelgood”,
while also accusing of Michael Bublé of doing this with “cry me a river”
and whoever plays the instruments during his version.Referring to someone as queer. When I grew up that was a major insult. You just didn’t use that word, like the n word. You used others like homosexual and such. But now it is mainstream and ok to use in the right way. But it still feels offensive in my head.
There was a deliberate movement to reclaim that word. Similar to black people using the N word. It also rhymes with here. “We’re here. We’re queer. Get used to it” was a big rallying cry in the 90s.
As someone who is queer and knows queer people who use the word queer to identify themselves, many people use it as a form of shorthand to mean some variety of LGBTQ without going into more detail.
Yeah, I know all about it. I live near portland, we are generally very inclusive. My kid was explaining just some of the many categories to me the other day. It’s a lot for an old brain to adjust to. And I am terrible at remembering peoples names. I may never be able to keep the categories connected to the people. Lol.
An easy shorthand is to treat it like the word female. “A queer” and “queers” is offensive, “queer people” is not.
Some of us grew up in ghetto circumstances. I have never said the N word, but at one point, I was up to no good.
Did you start makin’ trouble in your neighborhood?
One might say my mom got scared.
Apologetics and celebrity worshippers: people that defend politicians instead of being critical and forcing them to bend to the will of the working class.
I agree on the n word part, but do you expect white guys raised in/by disadvantaged black communities to pretend to be a person they’re not just because of the color of their skin?
OP must be joking. Living one of the largest cities in the US/World for two decades, skin color has nothing to do with being “gansta”.
White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I’ll include Eminem and I don’t care if he’s been given the pass.
He grew up in the ghetto around that culture. He wasn’t pretending. I didn’t know he used the n word in any songs. He may have used it in conversation idk.
Repeating song lyrics don’t count bc usually you are alone anyway. It’s a ‘tree falls in the woods and no one there to hear it’ situation.
About your last point, I’ve been trying to make it a habit that I replace it with “brother” or something whenever I’m singing along.
But you gotta use it without the hard R. “Brotha”
I use ‘glip glops’ referencing Rick and Morty.
Rick: What’s up my glipglops!?!?
And
Summer: Are some glip glops from the third dimension gonna come over and play cards or something?
And Rick eventually explains: Glip glop is like the n-word and the c-word had a baby and it was raised by all the bad words for [juice].
American truck culture. It feels like parody or satire, except it’s real.
These people are some of the most sensitive, selfish, proudly ignorant snowflakes I’ve ever met.
Not to mention the trend of larger cars in general as a daily driver is insane and completely unnecessary.
And then they complain about the cost of fuel.
And the cost of like everything else with the truck from payments to repairs.
A good cringe-inducing thing is gatekeepers. Of music genre, fanbases, video games, any niche really. Saying there is a set criteria for being a fan of something, or being a ‘practitioner’ of a skill or activity. They act like something is a club or a cult and give it a generalization.
I wear my dad’s classic rock icon band tees: name three songs, they demand. I could probably give you a line from one. No I don’t listen to them on a regular basis. I have listened to at least three songs but not enough to recite their names. If someone donated or gifts you their old shirts from concerts–you wear them out of respect.
Oh you claim to be a fan of the fediverse?
Name Every Instance. (or else you arent part of our Lemming club)

People talking about their suicidal feelings on the internet. Not sure why you’d want the whole world to know you’re feeling vulnerable, or what you think it can do to help. And people are so casual about saying it.
Counterpoint: if people feel like they can’t talk about these things then they’ll never talk about them and the condition often worsens.
I also feel pretty powerless to help in a meaningful way. But I’m not going to shun someone who’s struggling either
Adding on to your feeling like they can’t talk being bad, sometimes places like these are the only places someone feels like they have. They’re fairly anonymous, it can be easily deleted, there’s low risk of someone in your personal life finding out.
It’s a chance to scream into the void, while still feeling seen.
I think I know what you’re talking about. I do believe there’s a time and place for anything, but just trauma dumping your life’s woes somewhere like on a YouTube comment section, is probably not one of those places.
If you feel like there’s nobody to talk to about it - write a blog or a journal entry. Dump your feelings and experiences there, then share them whenever someone asks you what’s wrong. There are places and sites that are open for one to talk about these sensitive subjects to.
But there’s just no reason to randomly do it on like YouTube comment sections for example. I see it nearly all of the time.
Musicals. 😬
