Some of the most liked photos on Instagram are selfies, or photos taken by oneself. In summer 2016, Selena Gomez was named the queen of Instagram for generating over 4 million likes on a single selfie.
Taking a selfie seems simple enough. While you can snap one with any camera, most phones have two cameras, which means you don't even have to stretch your arm out that far to get yourself in the shot. You can also use a selfie stick.
There are some of us who take the selfie game to new heights. Adventurers and daredevils, some risking their lives in their process, capture stunning scenes that many of us will never see in person while others redefine ridiculous by pulling out their camera at the wrong time (like in the middle of a fire).
Here are some of the best and worst selfies ever taken. How's your selfie game?
Lifelong Learner
It's never too late to learn something new. Is this when we tell or plead with our parents, "Do as I say, not as I do?"
Someone Needs Help
On second thought, it seems like two people need helpthe person swimming for their life and the person who decided to take a picture instead of giving them a hand.
Under the Sea
The only thing wrong with this photo is that there's a laptop in it. Everything else is pure gold, especially that guy in the back. He was born ready.
Stormtrooper Selfie
Stormtroopers just wanna have fun. Love that hip action. Now, if we only we could figure out who they got it from.
Creepy Vibes
We're not exactly sure what's going on here but we're afraid to find out. The best thing might just be to stop looking and keep scrolling.
New Bestie
Sometimes, you meet someone that you'll never forget. But when they bite you, all you'll have left of the friendship is a photo.
Red Arrows Selfie
This might just be the best selfie ever taken. One viewer commented, "I usually hate selfies from people who are high, but I am okay with one." Spot on, my friend.
Selfies in the House of God
This is one we do understand. You've finally put some effort into getting ready, why not take a selfie?
Gay Pride in the Netherlands
We're just mad we weren't there, too. One person on imgur commented that this was a *normal day in Amsterdam.
Rest in Peace
Everyone has a different way of coping. We aren't here to judge. What do you think of selfies at funerals?
Looking Down at the World
As a former astronaut, Buzz Aldrin has seen some breathtaking views. Here's one of them. Thank you for sharing!
High Altitude in Dubai
Dubai is home to a stunning cityscape. We'd love to see it someday but we're not sure we'd take this route. This selfie was taken at the top of Princess Tower.

Is the ice melting? How did he attach the camera to the stick? Are they grilling? Where is this? Are they okay? This photo has inspired so many, too many, questions.
Work Selfies
Work selfies might not seem like a big deal but if there's a fire and your job is to put it out, prepare for some backlash.
Mustang Wanted
This is probably one of the most dangerous selfies ever taken. Here's stunt performer Mustang Wanted from Ukraine at the tip of the Votive Church in Vienna. And no, there was no safety equipment involved.
AIM-9 Sidewinder Missile
A Royal Danish Air Force pilot takes a selfie with a GoPro while firing an air-to-air missile from his F-16 jet.
Selfie Stick
This guy was so excited to receive his selfie stick in the mail that he had to post a picture of it. Not with it, but of it. Wait a second...
Men vs. Women
We don't usually say this but it looks like the mer-men stole this one, ladies. Those fierce looks are on point!
No Smartphone, No Problem
Maybe she just couldn't wait for her phone to charge and wanted to take advantage of the moment. Who knows?
Feeling Sluggish
Just when you thought you were feeling sluggish, this guy shows you the true meaning. Now, you feel them on your face, don't you?
