25 Self-Owns That Belong In Some Kind Of Hall Of Fame

Perhaps it’s an inevitability of social media, that sooner or later, amidst the barrage of trying to one-up everyone else’s posts with a witty comment, we unknowingly roast ourselves.

Or perhaps we’re self-aware enough to be able to laugh at ourselves?

For better or worse, we live in a time of such self-owns.

And while the internet is no stranger to people making absolute fools out of themselves, there’s just something so satisfying and unique about someone utterly owning themselves while thinking they’re owning you. Or simply just acknowledging how, deep down, we’re all just big failures.

We then, humbly submit the following self-owns to whatever kind of Hall of Fame there is for such idiocy.
