If Horse Blog Posts Had Clickbait Titles

I can't be the only person who is wildly, irrationally annoyed by clickbait titles, right? You know, the ones that one aunt/cousin/high school friend posts every 20 minutes? I see one on Facebook and I want to throw things across the room. They're just so obnoxiously sensationalist.

So I've been trying to fight internet idiocy with humor, and over the last few weeks have played a little game with myself, trying to come up with horse blog posts titles a la Buzzfeed (or Upworthy or any of the other nausea-inducing fake news websites out there, hi yes, I'm a snob).

Anyway.

Here are a few I've come up with.

    Ha!! Yes. Absolutely.

    My #3 facebook rule is to never click on clickbait. (1# is if you post selfies, I block you and #2 is the same only with human baby pictures).
