Social Media: You're Connected

Nostalgia

While failed social media platforms tanked for a reason, the reverse is also true. They once had an appeal that made them&nbsp;popular, so&nbsp;there are naturally some defunct <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/social-networking-sites/sirsinister?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">social media sites</a> people miss. Even dead sites that have been successfully replaced by newer, more innovative&nbsp;platforms still retain some nostalgic appeal.&nbsp;The internet moves fast, so it's common for beloved platforms to get usurped. Vine was <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/reasons-vine-shut-down/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">doomed to failure</a> when YouTube became the go-to video sharing site. Friendster&nbsp;was a pre-Facebook and MySpace social network that was revolutionary at the time, but faded as similar sites rose. When it comes to failed social media sites, basic party rules apply. To avoid missing out, you join in on the fun by downloading the app.&nbsp;But no one wants to be that <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/socially-awkward-memes/mick-jacobs" target="_blank">socially awkward</a> guest who leaves last, so you drop off&nbsp;when your friends do.&nbsp;Vote up the&nbsp;sites you miss below!&nbsp;

Ugh, Millennials

Culture

There's no doubt that there's a huge gap between the current generation of 20-to-30-somethings and our parents' generation. Since our parents were young, a lot has changed. The <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/hipster-food/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">food we eat</a>&nbsp;is different.&nbsp;We spend our time and communicate in different ways, and even fundamental values have shifted over time. It's hard to keep track of the things the kids are doing. And the result? A lot of explaining. So much explaining.&nbsp;What are some things your parents don't get?&nbsp;If you're a post-college millennial, odds are that your parents have no idea what you actually do for work. They also might not understand&nbsp;why it's okay that you have changed jobs so much, what a freelance position is, and&nbsp;why it's no longer fashionable to &quot;call up the manager and see if they got your resume.&quot; And don't even get them started on <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/reasons-not-to-get-married/lauren-slocum" target="_blank">why you aren't married</a> (especially if you live with your SO), why you <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/reasons-not-to-have-kids/lauren-slocum" target="_blank">don't have kids</a> yet, and why you'll probably never buy a house. There's also the technological gap. Even if your parents try to keep&nbsp;up with technology, you've probably found yourself explaining what an Apple ID is, why they can't hold their phone like that when you Facetime, and what the deal is with all of these bunny ear photos they see on social media.&nbsp;These are all things that parents don't understand, especially if they're of the Baby Boomer variety.&nbsp;We may be sick of explaining stuff to parents, but hopefully you take some pity on them and explain nicely. Vote up the things you find yourself constantly explaining to your parents and add anything you think should be on this list.

Things You're Sick Of Explaining To Your Parents

Isn't it refreshing to hear about&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/nice-celebrity-encounters/matt-manser" target="_blank">nice people who happen to be famous</a>? Some celebs give off serious sweetheart vibes in interviews and are known to donate their time and money to charity. Others frequently show up in anecdotes about great celebrity encounters.&nbsp;While all friendly celebrities are lovable, introverted celebs may deserve a little extra credit for a positive attitude. Paparazzi attention is rough for&nbsp;anyone,&nbsp;but it must be even harder to keep your cool if you're the type to shrink away from the spotlight and social interaction. As introverts tend to form close, intimate bonds,&nbsp;celebrities who are introverts would be awesome BFFs.&nbsp;All the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-infjs/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">famous INFJs</a>, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-infps/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">INFPs</a>, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-intjs/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">INTJs</a>&nbsp;are listed below for you to peruse.&nbsp;Just for fun, imagine you could handpick any of these famous people as your new best friend. Imagine a quiet night at home with a bottle of wine with one of these famous folks, bonding over conversations that go on for hours.&nbsp;These are all celebrities who seem cool, so the choice might be tough. Would you want to geek out over&nbsp;Harry Potter&nbsp;trivia with Emma Watson or Daniel Radcliffe? Or would you want to have deep, meaningful conversations with Stephen Colbert? The choice is yours!&nbsp;Vote for the people you'd actually want to hang out with. If you don't see your ideal celebrity BFF on this list, add them!

Quick - pretend the end is nigh!&nbsp;Is there a massive fallout from a nuclear&nbsp;war? Are&nbsp;zombies -&nbsp;driven&nbsp;by an insatiable hunger for human flesh -&nbsp;invading&nbsp;your city?

Will you flee&nbsp;to a huge warehouse&nbsp;like Costco, where you can hide behind 72-packs of toilet paper and munch on samples when you get hungry? Or would you go for a hypermarket&nbsp;like Target, counting on them to carry everything from food items to protective gear and tents? Perhaps you'd go for a megastore&nbsp;like Walmart, knowing that they often carry firearms and ammunition. The choice is yours, really.&nbsp;Use your brain power and think about what store would have just about everything&nbsp;you need to survive the end times.

Do you play a musical instrument? If you&#39;re under the age of 24, there&#39;s about a <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/381509/share-of-adults-playing-a-musical-instrument-by-age-group-us/" target="_blank">20% chance</a> that you do. Sadly, this percentage drops off dramatically the older we get - 11% of 25 to 34-year-olds play an instrument and the number&nbsp;continues to dwindle from there.&nbsp;For the 80 to 90% of us who never learned,&nbsp;what are the instruments you wish you played? A lot of us have probably dreamed&nbsp;of being in a band&nbsp;at some point or mastering our <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/new-rock-songs-2022/jared-baly?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">favorite rock songs</a> on the electric guitar,&nbsp;but - in reality - putting in the work to achieve mastery over an instrument is tough.&nbsp;If your&nbsp;parents didn&#39;t force you to practice when you were young, there&#39;s a good chance you never picked it up.&nbsp;

Say you did have the grit to stick it out and you put in the hours of practice. What would you be playing right now? Would you adorably jam out on the ukulele&nbsp;like Zooey&nbsp;Deshanel? Would you rock the harp like Joanna Newsom? Maybe you&#39;d play the bass guitar like some of your favorite rock stars.&nbsp;Or, instead, perhaps&nbsp;you&#39;d pick up an acoustic guitar and serenade the ladies like every freshman male in college.

Vote up the best instruments to learn below! And, hey -&nbsp;if you have a spare 10,000 hours, maybe you could put them to good use and make your dreams come true!

Academic learning, no doubt, is an amazing privilege. It's pretty tremendous that elementary school offered you the chance to just sit around and absorb information. Isn't it incredible you know the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell and that DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid,&nbsp;even if these things don't really affect your day to day life? However, would it kill the school system - or our parents - to teach kids skills that will have sensible applications someday?&nbsp;There are likely some skills you wish you learned as a kid that were not strictly about scholarly topics. Alongside all the academic learning, why don't we learn practical life skills in childhood?&nbsp;While you may still remember the order of operations via Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally, you&nbsp;likely have no idea what the difference between a W-2 and a W-9 is. You might be able to rattle off all the major Civil War battles, but are still not quite sure how to balance both a 9 to 5 job&nbsp;and&nbsp;a social life.&nbsp;You also may wish you knew some skills that could be an asset professionally, like speaking a second language or just general computer skills.&nbsp;As we get better at adulting, we have to oversee our own car maintenance, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/how-grocery-stories-trick-you/mariel-loveland" target="_blank">grocery shopping</a>, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-most-stressful-life-events/dani-porter" target="_blank">stress</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-ways-to-deal-with-anxiety/bunny-brinkman" target="_blank">anxiety</a>&nbsp;management,&nbsp;personal finances, and so on.&nbsp;Couldn't we have learned some of this stuff when we were younger? Perhaps elementary school teachers should be given a list of practical skills to teach kids.&nbsp;Browse the list below and vote up everything you wish you had learned as a kid.&nbsp;

Do you ever listen to your favorite singers and wish you could sound like that? Maybe you drive in your car, turn the music so loud you can&#39;t hear your own voice,&nbsp;and tell yourself that you sound exactly like Adele while you&#39;re singing along. Or maybe you lip sync to the latest Drake while you&#39;re on a run and convince yourself that you&#39;re just as good as the child star turned rapper. It sounds silly, but we&#39;ve all been there. Who doesn&#39;t, on occasion, entertain a fantasy in which they&#39;re as talented as their favorite musicians?&nbsp;

Okay, you probably aren&#39;t going to sound like the singers with the best voices. If&nbsp;you sounded like Alicia Keyes or Sam Smith, you&#39;d probably have an agent already. But some of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-underrated-artists-2019/ranker-music" target="_blank">best current singers</a> - like Bjork,&nbsp;Kendrick Lamar, or Devendra Banhart&nbsp;- don&#39;t even technically have great voices. They are just unique and memorable, which makes sounding like them feel like a less undoable feat.&nbsp;You could be unique and memorable too, right?&nbsp;

Who are the singers you wish you could sound like? If you could pick any current singer and switch singing voices with them for a day, who would it be? Vote up your favorites and add anyone&nbsp;that you don&#39;t see on the list below. And if you like this game, go over and vote on the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/rock-stars-who-you-wish-you-could-sound-like/ranker-music" target="_blank">rock stars</a> or <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/hip-hop-stars-you-most-wish-you-could-sound-like/ranker-music" target="_blank">hip hop artists you wish you could sound like</a> too.

On April 10, 1912, the "unsinkable" RMS Titanic began her maiden voyage from Southampton in Hampshire, England, to New York City. Five nights later, she collided with an iceberg and sank into the Atlantic, taking more than 1,500 passengers with her.

The Ship of Dreams

RMS Titanic

Over 100 years&nbsp;after the RMS Titanic met its demise on April 15, 1912, the story of the tragic wreck through <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-did-the-captain-of-the-titanic-do-when-it-was-sinking/melissa-sartore" target="_blank">Titanic survivor accounts</a> continues to haunt and mesmerize people worldwide. Out of over 2,200 passengers, approximately only 700 people survived to share their stories. Many <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/moving-titanic-survivor-stories/mallory-weiler" target="_blank">Titanic survivor stories</a> have been lost to the passage of time. Some survivors were hesitant to share the harrowing details of this experience, never speaking publicly about <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/titanic-facts/matthewcoleweiss" target="_blank">the sinking of the Titanic</a>. Others went on to share their Titanic sinking stories and rescue stories through interviews, memoirs, and speaking engagements.&nbsp;

These firsthand accounts talk about the chaos, the anxiety, the horror, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/valuable-items-sunk-with-the-titanic/mark-loughlin" target="_blank">items that were lost</a>, and the strange beauty of one of the most luxurious ocean liners that had ever been seen&nbsp;slowly sinking into the water.&nbsp;In <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/why-did-the-titanic-sink/erin-mccann" target="_blank">the wreck and its aftermath</a>, families were torn apart, great loves were lost, and a tremendous amount of life was sacrificed. These accounts bring us back to that terrible and fateful night, all those years ago.

Hi extroverts! This list is for you. (You non-extroverts don't have to read this, you can go back to watching Netflix and canceling your social plans.) Does it seem like everyone on the Internet is suddenly obsessed with introverts? We're being told <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/tags/how-to?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">how to</a> speak to them, make them feel special, and even&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/jokes-that-are-only-funny-if-you_re-an-introvert/michael-grimes" target="_blank">joke around with them</a>.&nbsp;While, yes, it's always&nbsp;good to consider the needs of other people, sites like Tumblr make&nbsp;it seem like extroverts are an obtuse and&nbsp;unfeeling majority who don't have any problems whatsoever. So, let's clear this up -&nbsp;there are bad things about being an extrovert, too.

Is it the awful stereotype that we're somehow less intelligent or thoughtful just because we like to talk to people and socialize?

Vote up the things that really bother you and add any other extrovert problems&nbsp;you think should be on this list.&nbsp;

We like to think our pets understand us and we understand them. After all, you think of your dog, cat, hamster, or other furry friend as your best friend and closest companion. They must understand you in some fundamental way, right?&nbsp;Well, yes and no. Your pet probably understands you love them - and loves you in return -&nbsp;but they are&nbsp;animals. They do not speak our language.&nbsp;One word commands and hand signals are fine, but what if our pets could actually&nbsp;understand us?

Or would you go emotional and really drive home how much you love them and want to keep them safe?

There's no getting around it - all couples fight and there are&nbsp;fights all couples have. Common relationship fights, on the plus side, are at least something that unite&nbsp;us all. There are some gripes we can all share when airing grievances about romance over cocktails with our friends. No matter how infatuated you are with your beloved, chances are you and your partner spend&nbsp;a lot of time together. This means squabbles are inevitable, even over seemingly petty matters.&nbsp;The phrases &quot;I can't read your mind!&quot;, &quot;I just want to spend time with you!&quot;,&nbsp;and &quot;You always make us late!&quot; are probably all too familiar to most of us.&nbsp;Time, money, punctuality, and communication are often at the roots of arguments all couples have. In fact, your grandparents likely engaged in these kinds of quarrels.&nbsp;In modern times, there's even more&nbsp;to fight about. Is your partner&nbsp;really checking Twitter on their phone again?

As a kid, you&nbsp;live in the present. Your moral compass is still in development and your curiosity is boundless.

Tips

Similar to getting drunk and singing at the top of your lungs, being naked is fun! But it's not always appropriate. Whether an activity involves sharp, flying objects, extreme heat, or compromising positions, there are some things that you should just never do while you're not wearing clothing.&nbsp;For your convenience, here is a quick reference list of those things. For your own safety and for the well-being of others. Please. Don't.&nbsp;If you are into <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-18-craziest-naked-women-in-news-report-history/clintonjake" target="_blank">being in public without clothing</a>, by all means, go to a clothing-optional&nbsp;beach, join a community that celebrates that kind of thing, or go streaking during your next local sporting event. Just don't do these things without clothes.&nbsp;

Celebrating Handsome Fellas

1980s

From generally-agreed-upon teen heartthrobs Zack Morris and JTT to the &quot;alternative&quot; Skeet Ulrich (back when &quot;edgy&quot; meant wearing a leather jacket) girls growing up in the &#39;80s and &#39;90s were blessed with an&nbsp;embarrassing amount&nbsp;of hunky boys to daydream about. Here&#39;s a roundup of our favorite childhood crushes that we spent days and evenings pining over while listening to the sweet croonings of New Kids on the Block or 98 Degrees.

While some of them definitely still got it, many of them have become, well... average middle-aged men. Like many ideas we cooked up in our early years (I used to imagine I would be an <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/creepy-ice-cream-truck-photos/jacob-shelton?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">ice cream truck</a> driver who caught frogs in her spare time, for example), you can be glad that your sweet visions of everlasting love between you and your favorite TV or movie star were never destined to be.&nbsp;

Need a day off? Here's a list of the best excuses to get out of work—including believable excuses to miss work, ridiculous reasons to stay home and funny justifications for taking the day off. Hey, sometimes we all need to take a sick day, or take a &quot;sick day&quot; but we don't know exactly what to tell our boss that they&nbsp;will believe or allow. The most popular excuses to miss work are often health-related. People always think to say that they are sick or that their car broke down. While this way to miss work is sometimes believable, you can't always use the same reason.&nbsp;Good excuses for missing work are usually either very specific—like your toilet overflowed and you have to handle it, or are very vague—like you need a &quot;personal&quot; day. Is it a bad idea to lie to your boss about why you are missing work? Probably. Do people do it all of the time? Absolutely. For many readers, the reasons listed here are good excuses for taking the day off.&nbsp;So what do you think? What is a good excuse for getting out of work? Do you lie to your boss or do you just tell him or her why you need the day off? Vote for your favorites and add your own ideas to help rank the best excuses for missing work.&nbsp;
