Facebook is the social media platform that allows you to post your whole life story on it. You can post pictures from your family vacation, check-in to places you have been, post status's so everyone knows what you're thinking about at every second. Is half of the stuff we post necessary? No. Do people actually care about half the stuff repost? No. While going through my newsfeed, I stumble upon some of the stupidest things you could possibly post. So, without further or do, no one cares (that)...
1. You had sushi for dinner.
We do not need to see the sushi you had for dinner. We do not care that you had the best spicy tuna roll of your life. Keep your meals to yourself please.
2. There's a sunset. It happens at least four times a week.
Don't you love seeing 40 pictures of the same sunset on your newsfeed? I don't see why it is necessary to post a picture of a sunset when I can easily look out my window and see the exact same sunset. It is also not a rare thing; a sunset happens at least four times a week.
(Yes this is my friend and I taking a picture of the sunset but we did NOT post it anywhere.)
3. You took a personality test to see what Disney character you best resemble.
Don't you just love all the quiz results that pop up on your newsfeed? Do I really care who you're going to live with in 10 years, or what Disney character you most resemble? Nope. I don't need to see this information that is more useless to me than the money in Monopoly is in the real world. I have no reason to know that you're most like Sleeping Beauty. Take the quiz if you want, just don't share the results.
(Yup that's me. Exactly like Aurora. Also never knew that was her name so maybe these quizzes teach you a thing or two. Still, don't post about it.)
4. You're in line at Starbucks.
"Feeling blessed at Starbucks." It is absolutely not necessary to check-in everywhere you go. How do people even have the time to check-in to every location they're at? We do not care that you're feeling blessed while waiting in line at the Starbucks in Boston. Are you trying to recruit some friends to come wait in line with you without actually asking them?
5. You're at the Beyonce concert, along with my 800 other Facebook friends.
I love seeing everyone checking-in and posting pictures from concerts. I don't even have to buy tickets to go because after seeing picture after picture after video on my newsfeed, I feel like I am basically there. Why do you need to post about it? If you don't post a picture to the world, were you actually even there? Probably, but you were too busy updating everyone else about it that you most likely missed half of it. You're no cooler than my 800 other Facebook friends that were at the concert. We don't need to see a picture of the faint outline of Beyoncé or whoever you're seeing because you are so far away from them. Just tell me about the concert when you see me.
(Seriously, why is this picture necessary to post? You can't see anything.)
Use Facebook wisely. Post pictures of your friends and family. Use it to connect with people, creative events etc. But please remember as a friendly reminder to all: No one cares about the stupid sh*t you post on your wall.
