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!

And then there are the Facebook stories about bizarrely elaborate kidnappings of children mostly my forrin looking types in carparks. Amazingly these stories never make the actual news despite happening almost weekly in the local Asda

Yes Sidge, totally agree!

peggy you need to and have a nose at Buzzfeed or Reddit. Hours can be wasted...

The "10,000 bees up,her muff" comment has just done me an injury, HILARIOUS!

My current fave.

1. That's clearly a very fugly reborn doll.
2. Are they saying Julia Stiles transgendered into that yoke from The Fault in Our Stars? Is that what they're implying?

Dreadful 😂

I secretly quite enjoy buzzfeed. Some of their proper journalism is quite good. They did some good articles around the elections explaining some pretty complex concepts and have had some serious investigative stories.

I also have a penchant for the '20 pictures of dogs that are totally you at work right now' and 'i tried a week eating only salmon and it totally blew my mind' type things

50 wedding dresses that look like vulvas!

She put Sushi in her work fridge and you'll never guess what happened to the courgettes already there!!!

This just came up on my Instagram

Presumably you get a sticky armpit?

But what IS that one weird tip to reduce my belly fat?

jane WHY would you do that, I need to know now!

To be fair I thought this was going to be another Sharon/T-rex thread.

I think you get fewer of these if you install an ad blocker.

I get some, but ignore them.

I don't watch commercial tv live, either.

I am rock.

So, so annoying. My faith in humanity will never be restored, despite their promises.

The Independent's @indy100 Twitter feed is terrible for this, constant stream of clickbait from a supposedly respectable news site.

I've never read buzz feed or Reddit but if they bombard you with ads about tights and eggs then I don't think I'm missing anything.

Keep your dogs safe! I went to the police with this photo from outside my house and you'll never guess what they told me....

They rolled their eyes, smothered laughter Dow and said "oh no not another gullible fool. It does not mean that burglars are targeting number 2, and number 40 has dogs for fighting. It means your drains need cleaning".

:o at these.

I get loads of "Haggard middle-aged woman from MyCity did this AMAZING beauty trick and now she looks way less shit" and a small part of me thinks "how does the internet know how shit I look?".

And god yes, the insane quizzes I've completed. Why? Why do I need to know which Victorian Prime Minister/Australian mammal/dodgy 70s celeb I'm most like? Fuck knows.

I have always avoided these because I am superstitiously convinced that clicking just downloads viruses but please for the love of God will someone tell me the belly fat busting tip?

Arborea, it's obviously coconut oil. Eat it, smother it all over and then stick some up your backside and the belly is gone!

(I'm 99% sure this is it.)

Ah, magical, not calorie free coconut oil, who'd da thunk? Thanks Penisbeaker, I am suitably underwhelmed!

SEE HOW [INSERT CITY NAME HERE] MOM EARNS £76 PER HOUR FROM HOME!!

You're all bloody nuts Gawd bless MNetters. You've seen me through a very trying day.

I click on some of them (mostly the ones that have to do with animals - today I watched the video of the fox and cat playing at the Turkish sea-side) but I am irritated by the language. Yes, it was interesting/cute/entertaining/unusual. No, it did not BLOW my MIND.
