We all know that one person- the one who seems to be living in their own little bubble, blissfully ignorant of the world’s pressing issues. You know, the one who couldn’t care less about global warming, politics, or whether pineapple belongs on pizza.
It’s a fascinating quirk of human nature that some things, no matter how important or controversial they may be, just never seem to register on certain people’s radars.
Someone asked, “What is something you will never give a darn about?” This thread has received thousands of comments, and we have listed the most upvoted ones for you!
1. Pranks
First things first, pranks require a certain level of creativity and a twisted sense of humor. Not everyone is blessed with the gift of coming up with hilarious, harmless pranks. A Reddit user wrote, “Just pranks in general. Being a jerk but thinking it’s okay because “it’s just a prank bro”.”
Another added, “The worst ones are the ones that aren’t even pranks, it’s just straight up being a jerk to people. I remember seeing one where this pretty white boy was going around asking people if he could assulat them because that’s hilarious, I guess.
One of the people responded by punching Pretty White Boy in the face, knocking him out, and I’m pretty sure knocking his teeth out, too (you could see visible blood, one of PWB’s teeth was missing, and his jaw was visibly unhinged).
PWB’s response? “It was just a joke! I got punched over a joke!”. You got punched because you were being a jerk. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes. Enjoy your dental work.”
2. Facebook
Facebook is like a breeding ground for drama llamas. You’ve got your long-lost cousin posting controversial opinions, your ex from high school sharing way too much relationship status drama, and your aunt flooding your feed with cat memes.
A discerning Reddit user commented, “My mental health genuinely improved so much when I deleted my Facebook and stopped comparing my life to everyone else’s.”
Another person agreed to it and said, “Same!!! Like night and day, I will never go back to using FB. Only anonymous stuff to talk about random TV shows and questions like this one with a cartoon character avatar lol.”
3. Entitled Celebrities
We all know that celebrities are, well, celebrities. They get all the glitz and glam, and sometimes, they act like they deserve it all. But guess what? Some people just couldn’t be bothered. One said, “My first thought was The Kardashians…”
Another pitched in to say, “Do you mean that family of train-wrecked freaks who never should have been famous for any reason? The stupid junk this country chooses to pay attention to…I swear….”
4. Social Media Influencers
One Redditor stated, “Once you realize that social media influencers are nothing more than an elaborate and personalized infomercial system, the whole thing starts to become humorous.”
Someone else replied, “AMEN! Nobody should give a flying darn about a bunch of preening, primping self-promoters who think they can tell the commoners what to do or think.”
Then there’s the matter of authenticity, or rather, the lack thereof. Some people can spot a sponsored post from a mile away. They’ve seen it all: influencers pretending to love products they’ve never heard of, posing like statues in exotic locations, and using more filters than a coffee machine.
5. Hollywood Award Shows
A Reddit user wrote, “Their ratings ARE down…I think ppl are tired of rich celebrities getting awarded when all they have done is act, not found a cure for diseases or eradicated world hunger.”
Another added, “Not to mention the speeches where some rich moron thinks we care what their political views are, regardless of leaning direction.”
Award shows often become platforms for celebrities to share their views on world issues. But guess what? Not everyone’s interested in hearing what Hollywood thinks about climate change or global politics.
6. Gender Reveals
A discerning Reddit user commented, “Cutting a cake with the center revealing color is one thing. Polluting an entire village’s river permanently annoys me, and I wish those people wouldn’t breed their stupidity into the gene pool.”
Another person agreed to it and said, “Or that dude that caused a wildfire because he was using explosives during a gender reveal.”
Then there’s the whole gender stereotyping issue. Some people find it old-fashioned to assume that pink equals girl and blue equals boy!
7. Past Relationships
One said, “My ex is begging for the cats back. She left us 3 to join some dude halfway around the world. When she came back, she had the audacity to ask for the cats back after her 4-year hiatus in the country. So satisfying to tell her to go jerk herself.”
Another pitched in to say, “Oh, similar story. Had an abusive GF beg for a dog. She picked a cute little guy. Got him for her. She proceeded to never take care of him and always complained about him just doing things puppies do. She would talk about getting rid of him and how there’s something wrong with him (there isn’t, he’s great)
So I took care of him, trained him, bonded, and he became my dog really. After I dumped her cause I finally was done with the abuse, she really called me to ask when I was bringing over “her” dog. I told her she doesn’t have a dog, I do, and I hung up.”
Then there’s the whole “ex-factor.” Some people believe that past relationships are like the ghosts of Christmas past- they’re gone, and it’s better to leave them where they belong. They’d rather avoid the potential drama, jealousy, or awkwardness of prying too much into their partner’s romantic history.
8. Reality TV
One Redditor stated, “The more drama there is, the more useless they become. I also want to know very little about the backstory that makes them a unique snowflake unless their personality and achievements have made them interesting, not their attributes.”
Another added, “Everything I have learned about so many reality TV “stars,” I have learned entirely against my will and often with active, vocal protest.”
The drama can get exhausting. Some people prefer a drama-free life, and reality TV is like a rollercoaster ride of emotions, backstabbing, and plot twists.
9. The British Royal Family
A Reddit user wrote, “As an American, I am baffled at some of my fellow countryman’s obsession with the Royal Family. We fought an entire War so that I don’t have to give a darn about the British royal family.”
Someone else replied, “The concept of royalty is as outdated as slavery. The British royal family is full of pompous, useless racists.”
Moreover, the cost can be a sticking point. Some wonder why their tax dollars fund royal weddings and fancy ceremonies. They’d rather see that money put to better use, like improving public services or supporting those in need.
10. NFTs
A discerning Reddit user commented, “NFTs. Can’t be funged.”
Another person agreed to it and said, “Are. They’re still around, people and companies are still trying to scam others with them, they just don’t tend to use the word “NFT” anymore since most caught on to how much of a scam that is.”
Plus, the environmental concerns are real. Some people are worried about the carbon footprint of blockchain technology. They’d rather not contribute to a digital frenzy that might harm the planet.
11. Luxury Items
Some people find it exhausting to keep up with the Joneses. They’d rather not play the game of who’s got the shiniest, most expensive toy.
Well, guess what? Not everyone’s ready to break the bank for a designer bag or a golden toilet seat. Some people couldn’t care less about luxury items. One said, “Luxury items like crazy expensive cars, bags, and watches.”
Another added, “Bags, watches, clothes? Yeah, don’t get it all. Saw a purse going for THOUSANDS of Euros; that’s just too much.”
12. Golf
One Redditor stated, “Golf, a lot of my co-workers love it, and I couldn’t care less.”
Someone else replied, “George Carlin – “Watching golf on TV is like watching flies fly .””
Do you enjoy watching or playing golf?
13. Tour de France
First things first, let’s talk about the endurance factor. The Tour de France is like an ultra-marathon on wheels, spanning 21 stages and over 2,000 miles!
A user shared, “People go crazy about it over here and want to watch it whenever it’s happening, and I… I just don’t get it. It’s teams of cyclists who have already determined which one of them is allowed to win, so what’s the point of the big group of people cycling scarily close to each other while 10 or so are riding in front, about to win?”
Another person agreed to it and said, “I love the announcers, scenery, and watching them fly down the mountains. And like most sports, I have trouble caring who wins.”
14. Steven Seagal
A discerning Reddit user commented, “Fatly going around corners” is all I will remember him for.”
Another added, “Do you know the channel “ Space Ice” on YouTube? He ROASTS those movies, and it is so funny. Steven gonna snatch a birthday!!!! (Only Steven knows what that means)”
Some people think Seagal’s movies are like a well-worn recipe – bad guys cause trouble, Seagal steps in, and the baddies get a one-way ticket to Pain Town. They’d rather watch films with twists, turns, and a plot that’s not as straightforward as a freeway.
15. What Others Think
Some people don’t have the bandwidth to worry about what every Tom, Matthew, and Harry thinks of them. They’ve got bills to pay, dreams to chase, and Netflix series to binge. They’d rather spend their precious time on things that actually matter to them.
A Reddit user wrote, “Others’ opinions of me.”
Someone else replied, “Yep. Took me the better part of 50 years to figure that out. You do you, I’m doing me. Don’t like it? right off :)”
16. Crypto
One said, “Crypto. Seems like one massive scam to me.”
Another pitched in to say, “The current crypto market is a giant scam. Someone sets up a new currency, promotes it, hopes a bunch of people buy into it, and then, at some point, they bail with everyone’s money.
It’s just like a pyramid scheme where the guys at the top rip off money from the guys at the bottom. I’m sure there were several cryptocurrencies and NFTs that people could have bought into and made a fortune off of. But it’s all a gift now.”
Then there’s the whole “crypto jargon” issue. Some people’s eyes glaze over at the mention of blockchain, wallets, and decentralized finance.
17. Extended Car Warranty
A Reddit user wrote, “3rd party warranty from Indian scam seller can get jerked into the sun.”
Another person agreed to it and said, “Last time someone tried to sell me an extended warranty for my car, they got upset when I read the T&Cs. It had a lot of weaselly words in it, which meant it was far too easy for them to deny claims on the entire powertrain, suspension components, and related electronics. So, basically the entire car.
I did not buy the insurance and learned the life lesson that if someone gets grumpy while you’re doing your due diligence, you can probably terminate the process right there and then.”
The cost can be a deal-breaker, too. Some people have done the math and realized they’d be paying more for the warranty than they’d ever save on potential repairs. They’d rather keep their money in their pocket and roll the dice on their car’s reliability.
18. Public Breast-Feeding
One said, “Breastfeeding in public. Feed your babies when they’re hungry, idga.”
Another added, “Fact. Breastfeeding is not a problem whatsoever. People who sexualize breastfeeding are – and they are usually the creepiest people ever.
I don’t want to hear how you’re ‘offended’ about breastfeeding and how the only thing you can think of is sexualizing a literal baby. Please jerk ALL the way off.”
The “natural is beautiful” mantra can be a driving force. Some people see this as a celebration of the beautiful, natural bond between a mother and her baby.
19. Sports
A discerning Reddit user commented, “Sports. I don’t care who’s on what team, who won, or who’s playing. I enjoy playing myself with friends, but other than that, I couldn’t care less.”
Someone else replied, “Me too. It’s a huge part of the male culture where I live. You need to follow a team, hang on to the results of every game, and know the details of each drama that goes on during the pre, post, and current seasons.
I enjoy basketball and squash a lot, but I couldn’t give a hoot about the pros. Makes for awkwardness when making small talk with other men, but I’ve learned to embrace my awkwardness for what it is, and I laugh at the absurdity of it often.”
The “stats and rules” thing can be a head-scratcher, but do you follow any sports team, and why?
