Aging is a scary thing. One day, you're in the know about every part of the cultural zeitgeist, and the next you're pushing all the wrong buttons on the new-fangled device that your grandkids have decided you need to learn about.

No one knows this better than the current generation of older people, who have had to live through the introduction of the online age long after their brains still had the plasticity to adapt to it. As we all know, this has resulted in some pretty…interesting things happening on the boomer internet.

However, even the most overeager senior citizen has nothing on Nonna Gina, who has been charming TikTok with a record of the weird and wonderful predicaments she manages to get herself into on Facebook and Instagram. From striking up confusing conversations with random people to accidentally uploading entire albums of selfies to public groups, she ensures that there's never a dull moment in her twilight years.

All these predicaments that Nonna finds herself in have earned her no shortage of admirers, and it's easy to see why. Perhaps the world would be a better place if we all operated with this level of self confidence (and bewilderment).
