We all have those moments, times when reason and logic are temporarily suspended and a brain fart occurs. If you are lucky, you are alone and the only negative consequences are the slightly bruised ego that comes with the realization that you aren't quite as clever as you thought you were.
These people however, were not so lucky. Not only were there witnesses to their mental hiccups, but there were recording devices on hand to capture them in all their glory, for all of us to enjoy. Compiled into a list by Bored Panda, what we have here are genuine head-scratchers, hilariously silly moments of people being dumb to the point that you just gotta ask yourself, what the hell were they thinking?
Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Load More Replies...All of the most intelligent people in history had strong faith in God... yet modern atheists with IQs in the 90s believe they're smarter than anyone of faith today. Interesting.
that doesn't really have anything to do with this. most atheists are smart enough to realize that nothing is gonna happen to them if they don't believe in god

a lie does not become truth because people believe in it, it means that imagine a atheist comes, he is gonna agree because they think jesus does not exist

I feel terrible for some of these people, yet the situations are still hilarious. Why is another person's misfortune so entertaining?
Schadenfreude. I believe it helps us to forget our own shortcomings and misfortunes.
Load More Replies...If all my stupidities were captured, I would look no better than all of those people together
Makes me feel like a genius. At least until I start remembering all the stupid stuff I've done.
everyone of us has done SOMEthing stupid like this at least ONCE in their lives; most are not willing to admit it. i, on the other hand, have done at least 2 or 3 of things pictured here. we won't go into the ones that weren't posted! it's nice to see others doing stupid stuff too (except for the dangerous ones). use these as warnings, lol. we're all human
My recent stupid moment have been when I cleaned my nanotanks glass lid, i made it look brand new. An hour goes by and I look at the tank and my brain goes "wheres the lid?! Omg the applesnail can escape!" After looking for it for 5 minutes I realised its been on the tank all the time. This went on for 4-5 days. Not gonna pro clean it again.
I would be placed in protective custody for my own safety if all my stupid things were captured
"Oh.. what did you take that picture with?" Well buddy, before the smartphone was invented, there was this thing called a camera.
