If you've ever been in the world of online dating, it can feel like an existential nightmare. Swiping through hundreds upon hundreds of people, trying to find your special person, is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But hey, all it takes is one right swipe to get your perfect match, right? Wrong. It turns out, you might just be wading through a pool of bots and fighting an algorithm that is designed to keep you on the app as long as possible, take your money, and not encourage you to find your match at all. These previous employees of online dating services have shared the dark secrets behind the algorithms and tricks they use on their customers, which you may have lost hours of your life to. Scroll down if you dare.

We all know that porn is designed with a particular purpose in mind, and it does the job pretty well. But when it comes to porn, the only thing we care about on this platform is the humor that comes with it, and it turns out, if you read the comments on porn websites, there's some pretty funny stuff! Leaving aside the question of what sort of person comments on porn websites at all, nestled among the less tasteful comments, are some real gems. A collection of screenshots from Pornhub show the types of weird and random comments people leave. From critical analyses of camera angling to asking for recipes and explaining how unrealistic certain things are (duh, it's porn!), they are hilarious to read and bring somewhat of a human element to an otherwise pretty heartless industry.

In anticipation of throwback Thursday, we thought we'd ask our users for some huge trends that died a painful death. We wanted to hear about the things that once seemed so big that we wondered how we ever survived without them when they were gone. The things that went out of fashion like they never existed. You get the point. We asked, and as usual, our users didn't fail to deliver. We've collected some of the best responses that give us all the nostalgic feelings and then some. Can you think of any more? Comment below!

Last week we featured a Reddit thread that had people revealing the most expensive things their children ruined by mistake. Our own Cheezburger users jumped at the chance to share some of their own similar childhood misdemeanors and we had to show you some of the best responses we received!

We take it as a given that most things are the way they are simply because that's the way it's always been, but the reality is, everything was either invented or discovered by someone at some point in time. Where it's toast, constellations, or the toilet plunger, it's fascinating to be inside the mind of someone who saw a need for something and invented it and these Twitter users are desperately trying to figure it out for themselves.

When it comes to products for the home, or for everyday living, it's all about the user experience. Sometimes it feels like the designer didn't have the users in mind at all when they were going through the creative thought process. But other times, the designers are creative geniuses and they produce something that makes our lives a hundred times easier. Enjoy this gallery of perfectly devised products from designers who see right into our souls. 

Our previous post about Redditors sharing the most ''Karen' thing a 'Karen' has even done to them personally opened the floodgates for our users to share their own personal 'Karen' encounters. Here are some of the funniest Cheezcake user responses below. 

Dating can be hard, but it doesn't have to be. All you need to do is go on the date, behave like a normal civilized human being, and then either go on a second date or don't. It's really that simple! Clearly, not for some, it seems.  A Twitter user asking people to share their worst dates received some real shockers in response. Check out some of the worst dates people have been on that went south pretty quickly. 

Tumblr is a breeding ground for roasting battles. Say something ridiculous, and you'll get burned. And for these people who started roasting the USA, they got back as good as they gave. Check out what the rest of the world thinks about America, courtesy of these Tumblr posts. 

There are lots of COVID-19 challenges circulating the internet to keep people busy during lockdown. One of them had people sharing their quarantine nickname, which is done by combining how you feel, plus the last thing you ate out of your cupboard. We posted this challenge and hundreds of our users responded by posting their quarantine nickname too. Here are some of the funniest responses from our users. 

People are doing whatever it takes to keep them distracted and occupied during their corona quarantine. Some people are doing home workouts, some people are finally getting all their paperwork in order. And some are just trying to stay sane while they attempt to homeschool their kids. Whatever you're doing, you can spare a few seconds to work out your quarantine nickname. How do you do this? Well, according to Elan Gale, it's "how you feel right now + the last thing you ate out of the cupboard." Here are some of the funniest responses to his tweet. Mine is "Fed up Oreo Ice Cream". What's yours?

We challenged our users to give us their best coronavirus pick-up lines because romance shouldn't stop during a pandemic. Just as long as you use them on the internet or from at least 6-feet away, this whole corona saga could bring the romance back! But based on these lines, maybe not... you can be the judge!

We asked our users to write a small screenplay using the characters of their favorite TV show, describing how they would react in the face of Coronavirus. Loads of you joined in the challenge and we've compiled some of the best responses below! Keep 'em coming! 

Tumblr has announced they will ban all adult content as of December 17. Users are pretty angry about it  and they expressed their rage the best way they know how: through the power of memes...
