We’ve all seen them. You’re scrolling through Facebook and you see: 7 Reasons Why blah blah blah. I’m looking at you, Buzzfeed. Well you know what, I’m tired of it. These lists are predictable and uninteresting wastes of time. They are ruining this generation, and producing lazy writers.
So I compiled a list, with no sense of humor whatsoever, of reasons on why lists are dumb. Make sure you stick around for number 12 because you won't believe it. I've already mentioned it like twice by now so it must be unbelievable.
1. Each point has an only slightly humorous GIF or image attached to them.
You read these lists for substance and you get lame memes. C’mon internet, get with the program.
2. They can be super opinionated.
The internet is for facts, not opinions. Everyone says so.
3. That one point everyone is supposed to agree with.
Let’s just say, “Yaas,” and get over with it.
4. The weak point.
We all disagree with it but there needed to be a certain amount of points.
5. The one without an image/gif.
Lazy just pure laziness on the writer’s part. Shame on them.
6. The reason with an image/gif that doesn’t relate.
I’m glad we all understand.
7. The point referencing a current event.
Oh how relevant and current. This will never get old...
8. I really hate how self-aware and meta some of these lists get, like please just be straight forward.
9. The grandiloquent mark.
I utilized a Thesaurus for the entirety of this current entry.
10. The point that restates another point only in a slightly different way.
“Yaas” now we are done with that.
11. The point that feeds off your nostalgia.
Oh yeah, I remember that.
12. The point you will not believe.
I still don't.
13. They always end on a weird number.
Why 13? Why?
Well, that's it. The definitive 13 reasons why listicles are evil. Yeah, evil. You can thank me for saving the world from them with a few "OK" quality jokes later. It is time to get out there and end the mild informative and entertainment value they provide for good.
