Elderly People Have Zero Inhibitions When Posting On Facebook, And Here Are Some Of The Funniest Interactions

It seems as though members of Generation Z were born with cell phones and personal social media profiles. The boomer and postwar generations have faced a bit more difficulty.

There are grandparents and elderly people who welcome technology as a way to remain in contact with their loved ones and to complain about, well, everything. If you've ever been in a queue behind an elderly person anywhere, you've probably had a chance to learn all about their families, relatives, problems, and successes.

And not by your own choice... Well, now elderly people have social media—mainly Facebook.

They now have the opportunity to complain and promote their views as much as they want, and no one can stop them.

Or leave. Well, that's how they see it.

And they are incredibly open—zero inhibitions or thoughts about what they are going to say. Combine that with their limited knowledge about the functions and options of social networks, and you are in for some laughs.

It's not difficult to uncover postings from long-gone Facebook users, but if you want to see them all in one place, we suggest visiting r/r/oldpeoplefacebook. It's a veritable gold mine of baby boomer mistakes, appropriate use of the caps lock, and odd hospital admissions.

Fortunately, none of them are particularly political, and it's a good break from everyday news. What are you waiting for? Scroll down below to see these amusing postings, and be sure to watch them all the way through.

Dr. William Doherty, a family therapist, notes that "social media provides a platform for individuals to express themselves freely, often leading to unexpected humor and connection." With over 4.14 billion people actively using social networks, the average user spends about 2.5 hours daily on these platforms. This significant time investment allows for a wide range of discussions and interactions. While some users prefer to observe, others actively engage, sharing their thoughts and feelings. As Dr. Doherty points out, "the candidness of these interactions can bring joy and laughter to others." It's essential to appreciate this open expression while remembering to approach it with respect and kindness.
