It's no surprise that the selfie has become a huge part of web culture — you need only scroll through your Facebook or Instagram to see that. Some have questioned their dignity, while others have risked their lives in search of the the perfect selfie. We're here to help.

Yup, that means it's even more popular than photographing your froyo and truffle fries.
