There are few among us who haven't done a little 'investigating' on social media in our time.

Whether it's trawling Facebook groups for the kid you sat beside in Junior Infants or launching a fullblown search for your ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend, we've all been there.

And when you eventually come up short, you turn to your mate who could easily establish her own P.I service, right?

Reminding us that we're not alone in our endeavours, Emma Doran and Jen Hatton shared a video which perfectly illustrates the lengths we go to and the conclusions we jump to when our curiosity gets the better of us.

We'll let these ladies take it from here…

OK ladies, you're going to have to prepare yourselves for this one.

A farmer by the name of Tom Clair has been given hero status on social media after recently interviewing with RTÉ following the birth of four identical calves on his farm outside Ennistymon.

Unable to conceal his delight over the one in a billion odds, the farmer recalled the moment he realised he'd hit the big time.

"And there she was lying, with two of them standing in front of her. And whatever side of her I look, I see a third one lying by her side," he explained.

"So I went over and I pulled up the third one and put him together… and I’m looking down I thought I heard a little baaa coming from outside the yard and I walked out and there was the fourth one standing outside. I couldn’t take in what I was after seeing," said Tom.

And the best part? Tom is equally overjoyed for the rest of us as he is for himself.

"Look at myself so excited about them but the whole country is excited about them!" he gushed. "It’s lovely to see all the young lads that have come to see them”

And Facebook was only dying to join in Tom's joy.

"Ah such a happy and excited farmer, delighted for them all," wrote one user while another added: "Loved to hear the farmer talk, too! I can just imagine the excitement."

And if you need us, we'll be on our way to Co Clare to hug Mr Clair.

Let's be honest, if you've never sent a message to the wrong person, then you've had some very near misses, right?

Well, one guy who failed miserably on the texting front has had his indiscretion splashed all over Twitter after the girl he messaged shared his fail with the wider world.

In a post which has racked up a staggering 99,000 likes in mere days, Twitter user,  tired girl, revealed the moment an intended hang-out session went from chill to facepalm in just six words.

After being invited over to her dorm, the lad at the centre of this incident only went and shared his excitement about the night ahead in a message we're pretty certain he wouldn't have wanted her to see.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter had a field day, with one user writing: "I feel bad but it's so funny that actually happened."

"I guess at least he saved you some time by accidentally revealing his true colors," reasoned another.

So, if you see that phrase trending over the next few days, you'll know why.

In case you've been living under a rock for the last week, you'll know that there once existed a baby which downed pints with all the gusto of a seasoned boozer.

Way back in 1997, this kid was featured on an episode of Nationwide, and people barely batted an eyelid over this lad's appreciation for the Black Stuff.

Fast-forward 20 years and the country was only dying to know who this kid was, and what he gets up to nowadays.

And when they eventually found out that Pint Baby is a strapping 20-year-old man from Kildare called Stephen Barron, they decided they no longer cared about Pint Baby, and have more pressing things to consider.

Twitter, you're a fickle bunch.

1. Where's Pine Baby?

2. Does he have more interesting siblings?

3. Is Pint Baby plotting Twitter's takeover?

4. Pint Baby, your time has come and gone.

5. Why aren't we PROPERLY harnessing Pint Baby's newfound celebrity?

If your newsfeed is currently saturated with updates from the world of American politics, then it's probably fair to say you're struggling to see a positive in the countless Trump-related reports, right?

So, when someone manages to put a humorous spin on the latest updates, it's seriously appreciated.

And this week's current hero in the eyes of Twitter is someone who saw a correlation between a Trump superfan and the character at the centre of Eminem's smash-hit Stan.

By simply playing the Stan intro over recent footage of a Trump supporter paying tribute to the current president, Twitter user, Bearded Genius, provided the wider world with the gift that just keeps on giving.

"I can't get enough of how genius this video is," wrote one Twitter user while another remarked: "Just came back to this to check it was getting the #numbers it deserves."

While acknowledging the praise he's received since the upload, Bearded Genius admits that his foray into the world of satire may be shortlived.

"Got a load of new followers because of this. They're gonna be so disappointed when they realise I just tweet crap about football all day," he tweeted this morning.

The post has been liked a staggering 18,000 times in less than 24 hours, and we're only responsible for about 1,000.

If the dawn of the new millennium can be summed up by your devotion to O'Neills tracksuit bottoms and your uncanny ability to spin a web of lies to your unassuming parents, then Emma Doran's latest Facebook upload is going to strike a serious chord with you this morning.

In footage which has racked up more than six million views in just 14 hours, the comedian can be seen channelling her inner teenage self as she schools her mate on the best way to deceive her parents in the lead-up to a 'sleepover'.

With barely an eyebrow to call her own and an over-reliance on lipliner, Emma reminds us why our style circa the late 90s and early noughties was an abomination from start to finish.

We'll let Emma take it from here…

It's fair to say that countless people are still struggling to come to terms with Donald Trump's ascension to the Oval Office.

And while we all know his feet are firmly under the table at the White House, many are reluctant to award him the same level of respect garnered by his predecessors by acknowledging his official title – President of the United States of America.

So, with a nod to the press and public's abbreviation of the title (POTUS,obvs), some wily sorts out there in the Twitosphere have set about re-working it to illustrate their disdain for his position.

Ladies, without further ado, we give you SCROTUS – So-Called Ruler of the United States.

And Twitter is, unsurprisingly, having a field day over it.

Last Friday morning is not one we'll forget in a hurry here at SHEmazing! HQ.

With sweat forming on our brows and our trembling fingers poised over our keyboards, more than a few of us primed ourselves before attempting to get our hands on tickets to Ed Sheeran's Dublin gig.

And hell, was it a pressurised environment.

So, we have nothing but sympathy for one Ed Sheeran fan who admitted she accidentally spent £1,300 on three tickets to see the man himself after the pressure got too much for her on secondary ticketing website – Viagogo.

21-year-old Charlotte Duckworth has hit out at the site after she was shown a total of £377, and led to believe that that was the cost of all three tickets.

Speaking to BBC Newsbeat, she said: "I can't afford that and I'm trying everything I can to get my money back. That's nearly three months rent. I've sent several emails to Viagogo but they keep saying there's nothing they can do."

Taking to Twitter, Charlotte highlighted the severity of the situation by explaining she'd likely have to move home and sell her car in order to facilitate the unexpected expenditure.

Unfortunately for Charlotte. not everybody is sympathetic, with one follower writing: "Who adds items to their cart and goes through the checkout process without looking at the price?"

"Nobody forced you on to that website. It is because people buy from these pr*cks that they are in existence," added another.

Viagogo's website states: "It's not possible to cancel or exchange tickets once a purchase has been made as orders are considered final."
