10 Things That Make No Sense - But We Accept Anyway🤹‍♂️

Life is full of absurdities—things we just go along with even though they defy all logic. From tipping culture to daylight savings time, society seems to operate on a shared agreement that we’ll just smile, nod, and pretend these things are totally normal. But let’s break the silence. Here are 10 things that make absolutely no sense—but for some reason, we all accept them anyway.

1. Tipping Culture

Ah yes, tipping. Why do we pay extra for services that people are already being paid to perform? And why does the guilt hit hardest when the little iPad flips around, and the barista stares at you while you decide if making your $6 latte deserves another $2?

Why It Makes No Sense:

Why not just pay service workers a livable wage instead of making customers do financial gymnastics?

Why does tipping vary so much by country? (Ever tried tipping in Japan? Prepare for awkward refusals.)

2. Credit Scores

“Want to borrow money? First, prove you don’t need it.” The credit score system is basically the adult version of a trust fall—but instead of falling into someone’s arms, you fall into debt.

Why It Makes No Sense:

A late payment from 7 years ago can haunt you like a bad ex.

Closing a credit card hurts your score because… you’re too responsible?

The formula is so secretive that even experts just shrug and hope for the best.

3. Daylight Savings Time

Twice a year, we collectively agree to mess up everyone’s sleep schedule for no good reason. “Spring forward, fall back” sounds cute until you’re driving to work in the dark, questioning your life choices.

Why It Makes No Sense:

Originally meant to save energy, but studies show it doesn’t actually work anymore.

Farmers (often blamed for DST) don’t even like it.

Why are we still pretending this is necessary in 2025?

4. The Price of Bottled Water

We’re literally paying for water. WATER. The thing that falls from the sky and comes out of taps for (almost) free. Yet somehow, paying $3 for “artisanal spring water” in a plastic bottle feels normal.

Why It Makes No Sense:

It’s 1000x the price of tap water and often the exact same thing in a fancier package.

Why does “alkaline” or “purified” make it taste the same but sound more expensive?

5. Streaming Service Overload

“Cut the cord,” they said. “It’ll be cheaper,” they said. Now you’re subscribed to 7 different streaming platforms, paying more than cable ever cost, and half the time you can’t find what you want to watch.

Why It Makes No Sense:

Why can’t one service just have everything? (Looking at you, Disney+ and Netflix.)

The “new” season you’ve been waiting for? It’s on a platform you didn’t even know existed.

6. “Convenience Fees”

Oh, so you want me to pay extra for the convenience of doing all the work myself online? Whether it’s concert tickets or paying your bills, these fees are the ultimate slap in the face.

Why It Makes No Sense:

You’re charging me extra for using a system that saves you time and money?

How is this legal, and why are we all okay with it?

7. College Textbook Prices

College tuition is bad enough, but then they hit you with a $300 textbook… that you’ll only use once. And don’t even think about buying a used copy because this edition has two new sentences.

Why It Makes No Sense:

Most of the “new editions” are just rearranged paragraphs.

Why do professors require books they wrote themselves? Double-dipping much?

8. “Shrinkflation”

You’re not imagining it—your favorite snacks really are smaller than they used to be. And no, it’s not because your hands got bigger. Shrinkflation is when companies reduce product sizes but keep the price the same (or higher).

Why It Makes No Sense:

Why are chip bags 70% air?

How did a “family-sized” box of cereal become single-serve?

9. Influencer Culture

We used to idolize astronauts and scientists. Now, we’re giving millions of followers to people whose biggest accomplishment is being hot on Instagram. And somehow, they’re the ones living in mansions while the rest of us struggle to pay rent.

Why It Makes No Sense:

Why do we buy $40 candles just because someone we don’t know said it “smells like confidence”?

Why do influencers get free stuff… even though they can already afford it?

10. Luxury Brands Selling Ugly Stuff

Why are we spending thousands of dollars on stuff that looks like it came from a middle school art project? Balenciaga sells $1,500 trash bags. Gucci made dirty sneakers that cost $870. And Crocs, well… they just exist.

Why It Makes No Sense:

The more absurd it looks, the higher the price tag.

Who decided that expensive = fashionable?

Conclusion

We’re all guilty of going along with things that make zero sense because, well, that’s just how the world works. But maybe it’s time to start asking questions—or at least laughing at the absurdity of it all.

A classic

[prokopetz]

you have one of the best-organized tagging systems i've ever seen. it's an inspiration honestly

I'm a professional – please do not attempt at home.

[quetzalcoatlrandomthoughts]

AO3 needs a dislike button, a minus kudos. You can spam it as many times as you like. In fact, you can even get it into the negatives, just to really show those pesky authors that they never should have never spent time to create something that could bring joy to others. Eww, how dare they try to be creative???

While we're at it, lets add an algorithm. You hit on a work with waterplay once because you were curious, but it turns out you don't like it? Too bad, it's forever engraved into AO3's database, no matter how much history you delete.

And since we have can dislike works, why not on comments? No positive kudos, only negative. Someone says they like how the dialogue is set up, but you disagree? DISLIKE!!! Nobody's opinion can conflict with yours that's ILLLEGGGAAAALLLL!!!!

Also, there's just a big "🖕" while your scrolling through the works that you can send to the author, completely anonymous. You can only send it if you've never read the fanfic before. Y'know what they say, you should judge a fanfic by it's summary and tags and nothing else.

[mikeslawyer]

i’m so disappointed in noah dear god. putting his stance on the conflict aside, why on earth is he making jokes about it??

‘zion!sm is sexy’ really?? really???

it doesn’t matter that he’s jewish, why is he making jokes about people being murdered? because that’s the reality, this is a war. people get murdered every day. in MASS numbers. making jokes about a literal genocide isn’t funny. it should not be posted with a laughter on social media.

another thing, putting around stickers like this as a white rich american is an incredibly privileged behaviour and i can’t believe he did it. he has a platform, has fans, many of them young and impressionable. making jokes about something that gets thousands of people killed weekly, especially from his stance of being nowhere near the danger of being killed in the middle of this war is just plain tone deaf.

i don’t know what i’ll do with this account, i might be less active and just take a break for a while because i’m just. i don’t know. i didn’t expect him to be this tone deaf. and i’m still hyperfixated on byler and stranger things so i don’t know. anyway war jokes aren’t funny and i can’t believe not everyone agrees.

Source?

I felt a vibe

[trentcrimminallybeautiful]

i have this really stupid idea in my head that im frankly a little obsessed with and the idea is this: trent crimm doing a drunk history episode on ted lasso's first tenure at richmond. is that how drunk history works? i don't think so. do i care? absolutely not. it's a special episode who cares because this image is not only hysterical to me but treasured. i treasure this image. i hold it close in my heart and also laugh and laugh and laugh.

🚨 The "Male Feminist" Starter Pack: Creepy Ally Edition 🚨

You’ve seen them. You’ve laughed at them. You’ve ignored their cringy DMs while they white-knight their way through feminist Twitter, hoping for a crumb of validation from women who don’t even like them.

🔍 How to Spot a “Male Feminist” in the Wild:

✔️ Bio flexes "Respect women" while only following chicks with OnlyFans. ✔️ DMs you pretending to be an ally but asks if you're single within three messages. ✔️ Wears a “We Should All Be Feminists” shirt, but it’s covered in Cheeto dust and loneliness. ✔️ Thinks “mansplaining” is evil, but will lecture you for hours on why he’s a good guy. ✔️ 100% chance he gets exposed for creepy DMs within 2-5 years.

Rule #1: The louder he screams "I'm a feminist," the harder he’s trying to slide into your DMs.

🔥 REBLOG if you’ve seen this creep in action. 🔄 💬 COMMENT if you’ve ever been DM’d by one of these frauds. 🚩🚩🚩 🚀 FOLLOW for more bullsh*t detectors and brutal honesty. 🕵️‍♂️💣

I like Tumblr, it feels more like a community on here than the other sites. I love y'all.

[yournewfriendshouse]

today my psych who works with the pain clinic and immunity clinic told me of a breakthrough/wild chronic fatigue theorist who has been looking at mitochondria and the fact that scientists don’t actually know what the fuck those little guys are even doing. he’d been wondering if they are even a part of us or is perhaps some kind of parasite.

…which is crazy. like if that was true???? that would be fucking huge!

but as he went on about this theory that we’re all carrying around these little guys and chronic fatigue syndrome havers are getting flattened because we have a lack of reserves and the mitochondria are greedy for energy, I started to guffaw bevause all I could think of is midi-chlorians and the story I’m writing where anakin skywalker eats them

[elbiotipo]

It's funny because I spent my teenage years while learning English in the most libertarian places of the internet (science fiction forums) and even back then I knew libertarianism was stupid, unworkable and a joke ideology.

So I really can't understand Milei's wave with young people. Maybe we truly live in the century of pelotudez.
