Bored Panda is a Lithuanian website that publishes articles about "entertaining and amusing news".
The majority of its articles are repackaged user-generated content from social media platforms such as Reddit, Instagram and Twitter.
[3] Bored Panda was founded in 2009 by Tomas Banišauskas, a Vilnius University student studying business administration.
[3] According to NewsWhip, Bored Panda's Facebook page received over 30 million likes, shares, comments, and reactions in October 2017, more than any other English-language news website that month.
In November 2017, Wired reported that the site had flourished despite Facebook cracking down on attention-grabbing clickbait headlines, a change that had made controversial political news much more successful on the platform.
