Gather around, everyone! It’s time for another candid discussion. Don’t worry, we’re steering clear of political debates (thank goodness), and we won’t delve into the whole mask-over-nose situation (seriously, it’s not rocket science). We’re also bypassing the body-shaming ads that parade as health tips on social media—yes, I’m looking at you, Beach Body and Noom. Instead, let’s focus on something a bit more… unpleasant.
Let’s face it: the past year has been challenging enough without adding more unpleasantness to our feeds. So, in our latest segment on avoiding social media faux pas, here are five things you should definitely keep off Facebook:
-
Pictures of your baby’s messy diaper
We understand that diaper blowouts can be a rite of passage for parents. You want to share the horror of what your little one has unleashed, and sure, it can be shocking—especially when it resembles mustard. However, while your partner might need to witness the chaos, your Facebook friends do not. Save those images for your closest confidants, or perhaps even your mom. But please, for the love of all that is good, don’t share it on your timeline. -
Images of deceased animals
After the tumultuous events of the past year, the last thing many of us want to see is a post celebrating a hunt. Living in the Northwoods, I’ve experienced too many friends sharing proud photos of their latest “trophies.” Whether it’s a deer or a fish, it can be a bit much for those of us who love animals. Please, just don’t remind us that our burgers were once adorable calves. -
Injury photos
Unless you’re a medical expert sharing for educational purposes, we really don’t want to see your injuries. Whether it’s a gaping wound or a broken limb, these images can be jarring. If something’s wrong, get to urgent care instead of posting about it online. -
Close-ups of blackheads or pimple-popping videos
There’s a whole niche for this kind of content, but it should be something people opt into, not something that unexpectedly appears in their feed. We’re already dealing with the acne of our teens; we don’t need it popping up on our social media as well. -
Photos of bare feet
This topic is a bit divisive. While most of us have shared vacation photos featuring our feet, many people find foot photos utterly revolting. Some might cringe at even the most well-manicured toes. I’m indifferent, but it’s better to err on the side of caution when it comes to sharing these kinds of images.
Before you get defensive, know that I’ve shared my own feet-in-the-sand shots before. This isn’t about shaming anyone; it’s simply a lighthearted reminder to keep certain images off your social media.
So let’s come together and agree: after everything that’s happened, let’s not add to the chaos with these kinds of posts. Deal?
