She placed a pair of tights over a hard boiled egg. When I saw why? AMAZING!!

Oh do fuck off.

Has anyone ever clicked on one of this links and actually shared the amazement/joy/wonder etc of the original poster?

Of course not and yet I fall for it every time [hmmm]

I think we need to come up with our own Mumsnet versions!

I think the worst is when there's a pic of some amazing animals/views/celebs/food etc etc and you sit through page after page of crap and adverts, and the pic that led you there in the first place doesn't appear in the list. Give me strength!!

Nobelgiraffe those are great.

Squeakybum I ABHOR the term 'hacks'.

Mom CURED cancer in her KITCHEN with Humous and Jif. AMAZING!

Kid needs to poop. You won't believe what he finds behind the bushes!
Celebrities who are actually cylons, revealed!

Yes Cat lady !!! I fell for a 'celebrities that got hooked on drugs, and now look like hell' with a picture of Laura Ingles (little house on the prairie?) I looked through 50 unsurprising junkie sleb pics, before realising my foolishness again

Oh God I hate these - especially the '65 celebs you didn't know were dead'

Ok, who started this one?

The economics behind the clickbait industry is phenomenally bizarre, murky and convoluted. Clickbait paying for ads on buzzfeed paying for ads on newspapers paying for adverts on blogs so that you can click on their adverts, but you get a long long way down the rabbit hole before you actually get to anyone you might consider paying any actual money to. It must be hugely unsustainable.

You can say what you like about MN advertising, but it's reassuring that almost all of their adverts are "first tier", advertising a direct commercial proposition (eg I'm currently seeing a Premier Inn advert on this page). Much less vulnerable to the clickbait spiral which will inevitably crash,

I'm a sucker for those stoopid quizzes on FB - what sort of fruit would you be and why?

I thought I was reasonably intelligent but give me a mindless way to waste ten minutes clicking pictures and I shall prove I'm not

Do I? DO I HAVE TO?

I never dare click, which is why I'll never know which 5 foods to avoid for that flat belly. The picture is usually a bunch of bananas.

Ten Child Celebrities Who Grew Up To MING!!

"She" is a awfully busy woman.
I also hate the faux obits on Facebook. "We say goodbye to Meryl Streep." Or worse, Betty White, who is quite old; I actually believed that one. (I loved her in Mary Tyler Moore and The Golden Girls.)

Some of them are really horrible - like '30 hideous photos of celebrity kids' etc.
Yes, I saw one, (didn't click) that actually said, "Twenty celebrities who married ugly people". Some really nasty, as well as stupid, stuff out there.

There are so many "weird old tricks" out there they must surely be mainstream by now.

Buzzfeed, arrgghh! Some of their investigative journalism is actually pretty good but the obsession with Harry Potter (and by extension Emma Watson who constant does stuff "...And It Was Perfect") and Taylor Swift (lovely as she may be am sure can do without that degree of arse kissing) just does my head in. I think the clear reminder that I am a good 15 years older than their target audience doesn't help...

Oh, and why living in random towns spoils you for life. The local delicacy is always something deep fried and covered with flaky pastry.

As though professionals are trying to hide the secrets of weight loss from us.

It's either acai berry or coconut oil. Yawn.

They keep using your location too, like you're more likely to click on 'mum loses 15 stone one week with this simple trick', if the mum is local to you. So it's always 'Glasgow/Leicester/Portsmouth mum' depending on where you are.

I wonder where the mum is when Tim Peake surfs the net.

ive no idea what your watching on your computer but ive never seen an ad for someone putting their tights over an egg and twirling it.

Peggy, you've not lived!

Um, I believed it about the tights on the eggs, cos our kitchen is freezing and I put hot boiled eggs on my first hat on my head and then another hat on top to stop my head getting chilled when cooking or washing up, so it seemed reasonable to imagine there's a good reason for tights on boiled eggs.
