In the middle of an increasingly mean-spirited news cycle and an increasingly stressful day-to-day, one entertaining place to head to is the subreddit "Murdered by Words," where people are essentially destroyed by comments from others.

We're looking for something to keep us occupied, and this is definitely the way to do it since we can watch people get "owned" from behind a computer screen, laughing at their pain and feeling thankful we've never posted something on social media that's gained this sort of response.

Most of us know better than to post something controversial online for this very reason, but so many people clearly missed the memo. The following posts are from political figures, journalists, athletes and the occasional person who just felt like getting something off their chest that was uncalled for.

Honestly, a lot of these replies are pretty amazing, so if it were us, we wouldn't even be mad. Practicing a little bit of mean-spiritedness might prevent us from expressing it in other parts of our lives.

But either way, RIP to these 13 people.
