Great Britain is a small country with a big attitude — and it has the social media presence to show for it. As Twitter account @NocontextFBUK demonstrates, combining every boomer's favorite platform with that famous quintessential Britishness produces some bizarre but humorous results.

For British readers, you may understand these jokes a bit better than we do. There's something so niche and specific about these no-context posts that the rest of us in Europe and overseas can't quite connect to (but trying to figure it out is funny nonetheless). British humor is a bizarre thing to behold, and while we can't always explain the jokes to you, we don't think they need much of a translation. Here, you can take a look at the British side of social media and remember why you hate those apps so much, and also be reminded why living in England is the better way. British humor is enlightening, so be ready for these strange yet alluring examples below.
