What would they be

  1. Amanda Holden
  2. Newspaper articles which are just them reporting on a “viral” tiktok which is 6 months old
  3. Free People. I bought a dress. Once. Years ago. They’ve haunted my internet ever since

Accidentally being shown something pornographic.

Eg. Some awfully titled email, badly tagged twitter post etc.

I would like to ban from appearing on my internet ever again........

ANYthing about Brexit.

ANYthing about Harry and Meghan. Don't hate them, just so sick of seeing news stories on them.

ALL adverts/pop-ups/spam.

Invitations in LinkedIn about Tony Robbins.

Those photos that move when you scroll and make me feel motion sick.

Virtue signalling posts about why we should all be kind and tolerant when they just mean 'be like me' and if you're not, you're Beelzebub.

Amanda Holden is a close fourth. Can't stand her.

Temu adverts. Relentless.
Cookie notifications. This alone ruined internet for me.

Gross pictures of wounds or skin conditions
Dogs slobbering over babies
Videos that autoplay (I know /settings)

Pinkbonbon · 03/06/2024 22:21

Pregnancy scans (infact, any kind of baby pictures or prego bellies).

Those annoying YouTube quizzes that keep popping up asking if you're a boy, girl, ghost or alien.

Profiles of people with 'you might knows' who you most certainly don't want to add on social media.

Delicious food ‘porn’ - I’m trying to lose weight damn it and here they come right on up on my page with their carby, cheesy, fat loaded deliciousness and then I have to try and make it.

Ads for hoover attachments or fancy mops that promise they’ll solve all my domestic problems when really they go to die in the useless hoover attachment and mop cupboard.

Gigantic spider pictures - no more needs saying.

GrouchyKiwi · 03/06/2024 22:35

Recipes with mushrooms in. Not today, Satan.

The Trumpsterfire.

Radiohead music.

lol I read the title off thread and Amanda Holden was the first thing that came into my head.

Katie Price - not because I particularly dislike her, I just don't want to watch another woman's mental breakdown while spectators gleefully watch on.

Princess Kate - for similar reasons. Her health issues and how she deals with them are not my business.

Spammy/scammy adverts/get-rich-quick schemes.

Anything that links to Pinterest. Such a useless, pointless, frustrating invention

It has become even weirder with AI recently - I looked up a room and paint colours (not going to type it out again because....) and now it's AI-ing posts - fake rooms!!! So flower pots slightly too big, stairs not quite the right era, wall pictures blurred...it's not even REAL pictures any more.

  1. Anything involving the Palestine/Israel conflict. Nothing to do with me and i have no power to do anything anyway, same as with all the other genocides, wars, modern day slavery going on right now.
  1. Temu stuff on etsy/cheap fast fashion. Tired of seeing something, liking it and then realising who is selling it.
  1. Aggressive adverts. I purposely never but anything from a company that has not bothered me with adverts, will always go put of my way to search for the item/service from someone else.

"POV: you're -" but you're looking AT the person (doing something incredibly mundane like "mom of 4 making dinner" - surely it should be "A heart surgeon" or something and then what the heart surgeon sees - not looking at a middle aged woman with too long nails opening a packet of something and spreading it slightly clumsily on a baking tray)

Disgusting recipes made of combining really weird high fat shit and baking it with cheese
