From technology to access to every gadget imaginable to make life run more smoothly, there are so many benefits to living in the modern world, but sometimes it’s easy to wonder if things have gone a little too far.
Bored Panda has collected a selection of images from around the world submitted by the People of capitalism Instagram account, which aims to expose the dystopian side of the world we live in.
They have been tricked by people who saw something strange that made them question the reality we live in, and even their faith in humanity.
For example, a motorist saw a group of men stop to take a selfie at the scene of a car accident, while elsewhere a woman posed to take a photo while standing on the roof of a sinking car, proving that there is nothing more important to some than enjoying social media.
In a similar vein, others despaired of a woman pausing to snap a tantalizing photo sprawled over a crucifix, while someone else’s heart sank at the sight of a children’s bulletproof backpack.
