If there’s one thing the digital age has taught us, it’s that nothing disappears from the internet. Everyone keeps receipts of past social media activity in some form, a few of which may bite back in the future.
That’s where the Facepalm subreddit comes in. This online group collects screenshots of people’s posts worthy of the spotlight of shame, some from public figures. 8.3 million members keep the page alive with tweets and replies showing how questionably some people’s minds work.
Go ahead and see for yourself. Here’s a compilation of the images that stood out to us. Some may shake your faith in humanity, so proceed with caution.

This should be the number one post. The world has gone mad and we're all just looking on.

Simple As That
How you’re perceived online carries the same weight as your reputation in real life. If anything, the former is a highly valuable currency in the current age of technology.
According to the Pew Research Center, 91% of people tend to believe what they gather from search engine results. The Edelman Trust Barometer also found that 65% of people believe these results more than any other source.

Tough Times Always Reveal The Crybabies

Yeah, people would tell me they can't breathe with a mask on because "asthma". I'd then ask "so, where's your inhaler? I have asthma, I wear a mask and carry mine in my purse". I generally got a blank look or they'd walk off.

Never To Be Satisfied
Enter online reputation management. As the name suggests, it’s the process of monitoring and influencing the narrative of how people see your brand. Your goal is to find the balance between positive and negative feedback.
Online reputation management is necessary for companies as it can impact a person’s buying decisions. Recent surveys found that 60% of consumers would avoid purchasing from a brand that may appear “untrustworthy.”

It's Just Sad
Having a reputable image online isn’t only applicable to distinguished public figures. A random Twitter user lost her NASA internship after posting a profanity-laced tweet.
According to the story posted by Norton’s Reputation Defender, the post got the attention of former NASA engineer Homer Hickam, who is also on the National Space Council. The person apologized, but it isn’t clear if NASA reinstated her internship.

Proactive participation is one way to achieve a stellar online reputation. As digital marketing expert Tripp Donnelly wrote in an article for Forbes, lurking on social media platforms is no longer a smart move.
“Participation means more than just having a profile,” Donnelly stated, adding that analyzing online interactions can also help understand the audience for more effective communication.

Ew, A Lab Diamond?
Many make the mistake of prioritizing self-promotion whenever they are online. It makes them seem unnatural, which can turn off their audience. People gravitate toward a genuine human connection, and excessive self-glorification takes that away.
As Donnelly notes, constant positive engagement leads to more meaningful relationships, albeit digital ones. It can also significantly improve one’s presence on social media and search engines.

Establishment clause! "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...". Thanks to these religious fanatics, we seem to have to relitigate this every year or so now.

Wild And Very Sad

As someone in NC (who avoided the hurricane, but my mom works in the government so its disaster response calls 24/7 for her) its insane. There are ARMED MILITIAS trying to stop FEMA from helping people. A major city (Asheville) DOESNT HAVE RUNNING WATER. Not clean, not drinkable, no RUNNING WATER AT ALL. And these dipshits are making it worse.

That was the old America, MAGA America doesn't want to spread democracy, they would hand Ukraine to Putin and put Israeli owned luxury hotels all across Gaza. Those "patriots" sure do love them some violent dictators.

People have the freedom to speak; they do not in fact have the right to be heard. Blocking and muting doesn't stop speech; it stops the listening. So basically, he's giving people back their right to harass and bully people who've opted to avoid it. Great idea, moron. 🙄

The whole state of Florida is barely above sea level for now. The highest point in the whole state is only 105 meters and it's so far inland it's almost in Alabama.

USA's "Stupid Politicians?"Just the Republicans. Be clear about what you write as YOU prove... Smart is as smart does. The Democratic Party has a deep bench of some of the most accomplished, brilliant, beautiful and service-minded individuals I've ever seen. Let's not take them for granted, nor bore the informed with tired "bothsideisms".

I'm amazed at how much hate was spewed in the responses. I came here looking for laughs, and instead got insults and meanness.
