First World Problems

[Symphonic]

So, I think "First World Problem" jokes are funny. Some of the ones I've heard aren't as funny but I thought this would be a good place to share these type of jokes.

I think a funny one I heard recently was:

I want Wendy's but the closest one is half a mile away.

A normal firstworldproblem joke for me is a statement followed by #firstworldproblem(s)

Example:

I don't have any jokes to tell

I want Wendy's but the closest one is half a mile away.

This is me every day.
Wendys is about 5-10 minutes away. Too far to drive when I'm hungry.

Friend of mine: My ipad isn't charged so I have to get up to check the weather.

Im hungry, but my parents have company and they're all in the kitchen and i dont want to talk with them.

Using # outside of twitter is bad, and you should feel bad.

I really need something to drink, but the store only has the diet version of my favourite soda in stock.

I'm out of Pepsi, and my store is too far away!

I was late for a raid and now I'm bored.

I want to change the channel to the TV, but I have to get up to reach the remote.

I would like a glass of water, but it tastes funny from the tap. #firstworldproblems

I've reached my monthly texting limit. How will I talk to my friends now??

The internet is out for a few hours. What am I expected to do until then?!

[Illunis]

I open my door, and my room gets too cold.
I close my door, and my room gets too hot.

I'm hungry, but the only food I have takes effort to make. /firstworldproblems

I'm tired, but I'm currently too entertained by a movie to go to bed.

My favorite show is on television, but I'm in the middle of a game on my computer. Which is facing the opposite direction. *single tear*

The batteries in my electric toothbrush are dead, and all the batteries are in a drawer in the kitchen.

That's all I've got for now.

Not really a first world problem, people all over the world have to work.

Also, I've always seen the whole "first world problem" thing as a way to criticize people for not being happy with their place in society. At least that's how a lot of people use it, someone complains about some minor issue and someone else responds by calling their problem a "first world problem" as a way of guilt tripping the original person into just shutting up because damnit there are children in Africa who are starving to death.

It's a classic case of telling people no problem but the worst one in the whole world is important enough. Of course, the reasoning behind this is flawed, a bit of a false dichotomy you might say, implying that a person who's pissed about the battery in their cellphone going bad and discharging too quickly can't also care about war orphans or environmental issues, that it's somehow an "either or" situation. You either care about your cellphone's battery being crap or you care about those with worse problems.

It also doesn't factor in that humans never evolved to think on the scale we're expected to, the scale of the world that we can observe from the comfort of our own homes is just too great. A few hundred years ago what most people knew about was just their immediate surroundings, now you can go online or turn on your TV and see suffering from all corners of the world, it's just too much for our brains to constantly deal with.
