I remember the days when Facebook used to be cool. Anybody who was anybody in school had to create an account to keep up with their social life, whether they hit that 13 and over age limit or not. People posted mundane life updates and dramas blissfully unaware of the level of cringe it would cause them years down the line, and put up 100 image strong photo albums of house parties taken on digital cameras and primitive smartphones.

Back then, we didn't realize how good we had it. The Facebook of today is almost unrecognizable; sure, it has the occasional funny meme and is a great stalking tool for catching up with everyone who never left your hometown, but it is also terminally resigned to hosting the crackpots and crazy boomer posters of the world. This has its entertainment value, but it's also kind of depressing. Just about amusing enough to keep looking at this list, though.
