Some people reach to find a deep meaning in everything. The reality is, though, that not everything is deep, sometimes things are just the way they are. There are two very different groups of people who seem to share one common interest. Both young teenagers and middle-aged relatives love the kinds of "super deep" posts that get shared around on Instagram and Facebook. These are the kinds of posts that usually contain a comic or photo that is meant to represent some deep societal issue in the world, and then a following caption condemning it. Some people find them earth-shattering, when in reality it really isn't that deep.

Reddit's /r/im14andthisisdeep is the subreddit that collects all of these honestly very shallow "deep" memes and posts. The subreddit is called that because as mentioned, it seems to be that demographic that goes crazy for these kinds of posts. It's like they're just becoming self-aware or something. Here are 25 seemingly meaningful posts that are honestly kind of cringe. Maybe someone out there will learn something today.
