From the comical mishap of walking straight into a seemingly invisible glass door to the downright perplexing experience of momentarily forgetting the very word 'door' when attempting to recount the incident to a friend, it's an undeniable truth that each of us encounters moments of sheer human fallibility.
Whether it's a dumb fail that leaves us chuckling at our own expense or a brief lapse in memory that momentarily stumps us, these occurrences remind us of our shared humanity and keep us grounded in the unpredictability of everyday life. For better or worse, nowadays, all these mishaps are all over dumb posts on the internet, and all these blunders are documented for years to come.
So to make peace with our collective dullness of mind, we at Bored Panda have an ongoing series where we share pictures of the dumbest things ever said on the internet by people. (In case you haven't seen it, I recommend you check it out here and here and catch up.)
We hope this latest collection of dumb social media posts reassures you that nobody's perfect and allows you to look at your failures with a little less embarrassment. Or, at the very least, it provides you with an opportunity to distract yourself and forget about it!

We All Fail Sometimes, and Here's How to Deal With It Like a Pro
Psychotherapist Amy Morin, LCSW, who is the Editor-in-Chief of Verywell Mind and the author of the bestselling book 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, believes that failure is something we all endure and it's important to know that there are things we can do to feel better about it.
First off, embrace your emotions. Morin highlighted that failure is often accompanied by a variety of emotions, including embarrassment, anxiety, anger, sadness, and shame, just to name a few. Those feelings are uncomfortable, and many people will do anything they can to escape the discomfort they cause but according to research, allowing yourself to feel bad is actually motivating. It can help you work harder to find better solutions so that you'll improve next time, even if we’re talking about the dumbest things ever said on the internet—they can also make you feel very underwhelmed.
So Silly Though
I'm pretty sure lots of kids books are about pirates, but I have yet to commandeer a ship, entrap a crew, hoist the jolly roger, and take to the seven seas.
Does Seem Kinda Controversial
Next Level Stupid
Lauren Boebert does not belong in Congress; this level of stupidity is scary.
Minimizing the Discomfort Won’t Make It Go Away Completely
Next up, we should make an effort to recognize our unhealthy attempts to reduce pain. "You might be tempted to say, 'I didn't actually want that job anyway,' but minimizing your pain won't make it go away," Morin said.
"Distracting yourself or filling the void you feel with food, drugs, or alcohol won't heal your pain either. Those things will only provide you with some temporary relief."
Wooosh
Just A Bit Of A Difference
How Is This Possible
Not A True Catholic
I guess the Pope should take catechism classes from Ashley, as she knows so much about Catholicism.
Building Healthy Coping Skills is Vital
After that, we can start focusing on healthy coping skills instead. "Calling a friend, practicing deep breathing, taking a bubble bath, going for a walk, or playing with your pet are just a few examples of healthy ways to deal with your pain," the psychotherapist explained. We’d also add that looking up something fun, like the shortcomings of the dumb people on the internet, might also cheer you up.
"Not every coping skill works for everyone, however, so it's important to find what does for you."
How Can People Break Up For Such Stupid Reasons
You Know... The Other Mariah Carey
It’s one thing to lack knowledge, be naive or ignorant. These are merely obstacles. However, needing some warped sense of validation by correcting people you know nothing about, or even worse, mansplaining simply because they’re a woman, is a character flaw at best, a personality disorder most likely.
They Definitely Need A Disability Advocate
People Can Be Really Stupid Sometimes
A 2016 review published in Clinical Psychology Review that looked at 46 studies examining reactions to failure found that a "more positive attributional style" was a strong factor in how resilient people were to the emotional distress caused by failure.
In other words, they saw failure as a result of something specific and external rather than something internal.

Shhh 🤫 That's top secret information, keep it hush hush before the Government realizes they've been exposed and makes another virus!
Load More Replies...Strange indeed👀👀👀👀almost as if.....crazy CRAZY thought....the vaccine...protects you
And sometimes hurting ones who have been vaccinated. Covid is no joke and it's NOT political. Get your shots.
Yeah, they're being conspired against! They should show them who the Boss is by getting those shots (please).
"THEY make the virus . .. " I've always wondered who those mysterious, faceless "THEY" are . . . .
That co-worker isn't in a home? He/she shouldn't be allowed out in public and/or vote in national elections.
People who got the shots get it too, and are just as contagious as everyone else. They just have milder symptoms.
That same lad is probably wondering how cold weather is being selective to only freeze people who dont wear jackets or a coat.
Every time you read about all these stupid people, keep in mind how they can legally breed and vote. Preferably, not before you go to bed.
The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.
I would say that LINGUOTGR is blond - but that would be an insult to a blond person.
1. no one made the virus (I suppose it could have been some sort of biological warfare experiment but the original virus was not made by anyone) 2. I could make a poison, lets say and also create an antidote to that poison. Therefore, I would have the antidote on hand. Why doesn't he or she get the shot? If I thought someone had created a virus that was not hurting someone who got particular shots, I would seek the shots out.
it's suspicious how they make the bears only attack people who get too close
I've never and never will get those shots, and I haven't got Covid ONCE
I must admit, I probably would have walked away in reams of laughter, leaving him/her to wonder what in hell was wrong.
It's especially strange because the same person probably believes that vaccines give you lum-puckeroo-of-the-bunghole or some such.
Most of the people I know contracted it after all of the vaccines, so no. Either you get it or, hopefully, you dont.
*walks away worried that I’ve lost any intelligence just by near close association
Bahahahaha!! Gramma got this boy with the stupid stick way too many times!
its suspicious how only the people with the shots are having problems with reproduction, and with getting illnesses, Its also suspicious how all the people who didn't get it, have a stronger immune system than the ones with the vax, oh and how only the sick and old who get covid are being hurt, yet they want all of us to? Hmmmm...
It's worse than I ever imagined!! How dumbed-down Americanism is reproducing!!
So what? It does not stop you from getting the virus, it stops you from dying. Did she die? You do not know this?
Load More Replies...Nah, not magic. It's called science, which is cooler than magic, because it can be proven. You're welcome.
Load More Replies...No vaccine has ever actually prevented getting a virus. What they do is keep you out of the hospital - or the morgue.
Load More Replies...Unpopular Opinion: We Should Make Crime Illegal
"When you find yourself thinking that you're a hopeless cause or that there’s no use in trying again, reframe your thoughts," Morin suggested.
"Remind yourself of more realistic thoughts about failure such as: a) failure is a sign that I'm challenging myself to do something difficult; b) I can handle failure; c) I can learn from my failures."

We All Make Mistakes
However, you will probably need to repeat a phrase or affirmation more than once in order to ward off negative thoughts or to reinforce to yourself that you can bounce back. But you will bounce back! Even the people from these dumb social media posts did, and that accounts to something.

30 Years Later I Still Cringe
If you've spent most of your life avoiding failure, it can feel really scary when it finally catches you off-guard. However, facing your fears can really improve your quality of life. Practice stepping outside your comfort zone, and over time, you'll learn that messing up isn't as bad as you thought!
Just take a look at the dumbest things ever said on the internet documented on this list—to some, they might seem like failures, but at most, they’re happy little accidents that, in the end, make us laugh heartily.

The dangerously stupid are self-exterminating to rebel against science 🧪 and medicine. So again, the situation will leave us with fewer of them. The only problem is that these buffoons murder others with their ignorance.
Many years ago when I hired the first employee for my business. I knew he was very religious but only realized how bad when he asked me why is it that only Gay Men get AIDS. I knew there were people like that but my jaw still hit the floor.
I knew someone who dried their wet tennis shoes in the microwave ahaha
