Society & Culture Facebook

Hashtags make me honestly want to punch people in the face. Putting a stupid little "#" before a comment or word doesn't make it more interesting or poignant. It screams 'excuse me, could you please pay attention to me as I have something to say". It's like 13 year olds writing band names on their schoolbag

#word

i only utilise hashtags for sarcastic or humourous effect. serial hashtaggers are among the worst cretins of the social media realm.

I have a cousin who has a 1 year old daughter and get so many updates and photos and have to hear how wonderful her daughter is every day, it gets a bit much. Today she posted that how funny it was that her daughter at the supermarket shook her milk and covered the guy behind her and the checkout girl in milk. She noted they were not impressed, but said nothing- then she again emphasized how funny it was. I replied "hilarious", hopefully the sarcasm is obvious. Time to just block her I think!

Typical new-age parent "isn't my spoilt little brat cute" f*****g attitude.

I still don't get why people use hashtags on facebook, it's not like it serves an actual purpose like on twitter

C***s who:
- go to the gym, and update/take photos/make a status about it.

- take pictures of meals they cook when it looks like f*****g shit that I wouldn't serve my worst enemy.

- post cryptic status updates about how something is wrong (usually nothing is, or it's a first world problem in its purest sense) to get attention.

- post song lyrics in status updates - f*** off.

- post pictures of their baby/child non-stop, and in a lot of cases, the baby is ugly as a hat full of shit.

- post endless status updates about 'bae'.

- always out to push some political agenda/view through fb status when in actual reality, nobody gives a rat's arse.

- can't spell or use punctuation in status updates or comments.

There's plenty more, but yeah, all these c***s should be forced to pay an 'oxygen tax'.

They do work in a similar way.

I've unfollowed everyone on my friends list, so Facebook has essentially turned into a messaging service. But I have the mobile numbers of everyone so it seems redundant.

Can't stand how Facebook has shaped the way people interact. At parties and events I often hear "Did you see what I put on Facebook?" or "I saw on Facebook that you went to/did this".

I don't even know what purpose it serves on Twitter. Its just painfully narcissistic

If used properly they allow you to find posts on a particular topic - eg #AusvInd will find you stuff on the Australia v India cricket match happening that day.

Mindlessly appending them to the end of a post about yourself achieves little in that sense, but can be used to good effect in making a humourous summary of your situation.

Makes sense then I guess, but still.......yeccch ugh

So my facebook friend has a dog. I have never seen the dog in person, but I know almost its entire life thanks to daily (if not more regular) updates including hastags like #furchildren #wolfpack. God help me when she has children

She a looker? If she's not she might just continue with the #furchildren hashtag.

It has the same function on both sites.

They are the ones who usually know jack shit about politics as well.

My sister moved interstate with her husband and two young boys. I actually really like the odd photo and video she posts to Facebook of the kids. I'd miss out altogether on seeing them grow up otherwise.

She doesn't want to overdo the kids stuff in case her other friends thinks she's going mad, of course.

huh, so it does. Doesn't seem like it would be used as much as it does on twitter though. I thought people were just captioning their photos like they would on instagram for no reason

Find it a bit weird this level of paranoia from parents about online privacy/metadata, meanwhile "son, now that you're old enough to understand, there's something we have to tell you. Your whole life from your very first shit, to bathtime with your sister we've broadcasted on the internet"

Not facebook related but seeing as you're talking about children and parents; one of the Bryan brothers (American doubles specialist) started a twitter pretending to be his baby girl. All the groveling, dumb, suck-up tennis "journalists" think it's really cute. It's creepy and pathetic IMO.

Sometimes fb brings up some interesting problems.

Hi planning on coming to the drive ins tonight and my son is 7 and will be watching his portable DVD player obviously not 50 shades, do I still have to pay for him?

 

[brucetiki]

Wow, just wow.

In more ways than one (bring a kid to 50 Shades, not knowing drive-in charge per car)

*Shudder*. The Bryan Brothers are creepy full stop. Even off the court they wear exactly the same clothes and always have this weird murderous smile on their face.
