40 Of The Absolute Dumbest Things People Posted Online And Got Shamed For On This Group (New Pics)
Interview
The power of screenshots should have taught us a lesson about thinking twice when posting something. Whether it's a questionable statement or potentially regretful photo, we always have time for a second of reflection before pressing ‘share.’
Some people, however, are clearly oblivious to the fact or don’t see it to be such a big deal. The result is hilariously dumb posts combined with a healthy dose of absurdity, and sometimes, trolling.
Below we wrapped up a solid collection of the funniest and most questionable things people got caught (shamelessly) sharing online.

Most of us, from time to time, are guilty of oversharing things on social media. From personal details to work rants and live location, it seems like we sometimes lack a filter of what and what not to share. And while we may indeed delete the posts and photos we regret posting, not everything can be reversed.
In fact, sharing too many private details about your life can be really dangerous and we reached out to Daniel Markuson, the cybersecurity expert at NordVPN, who shared some very useful insight about it.
“From your social media accounts, especially Facebook, hackers can gain information about you and use social engineering attacks such as phishing, whaling, baiting, or pretexting to hack you,” Daniel told us.

Moreover, he said that they can use your information to impersonate you or even steal your identity. “Oversharing on social media makes the process of gathering information about the targeted person easier. And by sharing information about their family, users also put their loved ones in danger,” he explained.
“Although it’s fun to post vacation photos and let everyone know you’re having a cocktail on a sunny beach or skiing on a high mountain,” Daniel said, “it sends a clear signal to burglars that your home is empty.” The cybersecurity expert argues that those who really need to share their photos should at least wait till they are back home, and their home is not empty anymore.

Mrs Jenkins goes to see a lawyer. "What's the issue, Mrs Jenkins?" he asks. "I want to divorce my husband." "OK then, we need some grounds for divorce," says the lawyer. "Does your husband fail to provide for the household?" "No, to be fair, he's always been good at that," she says. "What about cruelty?" asks the lawyer, "has he ever struck you?" "Christ no, I'd beat the s*it out of him." The lawyer has a think. "Ah, what about infidelity? Has he ever been unfaithful to you?" Mrs Jenkins grins. "I think we've got him there!" she says. "I know for a fact my last baby wasn't his!" - Puckoon, Spike Milligan
We also wondered if we can actually post photos of friends without asking them. Daniel said that posting a photo of another person without their permission is a no go because “it breaches their right to privacy.” “Some people like to keep their life away from the internet and they should be allowed to do so,” he said.
Most people nowadays have a very active social media presence. But not many of us consider what kind of information about ourselves we give out to social media platforms and what they do with it.
“Data like your email address, name, day of birth, likes, or even the place you live is valuable for social media platforms. Once you willingly give away data by agreeing to a platform’s terms and conditions, it belongs to them,” Daniel said.

Looks a pregnant woman: "Can someone explain to me how they got the baby through the small hole?"
Moreover, “social media platforms can share this data with their partners, sell this data to third parties, or even transfer your data to countries with less user-friendly privacy laws.” Which, of course, is the last thing you want them to do.
The good news is that there are a couple of things people can do to be more private on social media. First tip from Daniel is to not overshare and only provide the necessary information. “You don’t always need to provide your address or date of birth to create accounts.”

and everyone knows that the stuff there is made by the grocery fairy
The second tip is to “use strong passwords, don’t reuse them, and keep them safe in a password manager, like NordPass.”
Daniel’s advice is to make sure you don’t use social media on public devices. “But if you do, always remember to log out when you’re done.”
Another useful and simple trick is to disable geolocation data on your apps. Moreover, make sure you never trust suspicious links, even if you get them from your friends. And last but not least is to set up 2-factor authorization where possible.

Words fail me often enough. Then a week later I suddenly fall awake at 4 A.M. with that word in my head. To be forgotten again before breakfast.

After reading some of these posts I kinda want to set up a troll account that posts this sort of nonsense deliberately.

Oh shįt. So I'm not American? I never knew; nearly 40 years old and I thought I was. Thank you geology. You rock

Speaking of stupid girls... if she doesn't know the difference between geography and geology class, how can she possibly be smart enough to know New York is, indeed, in America? Educational $ wasted on this one!

This is borderline treasonous. Lol. It's not so much having no clue where she is, it's the salty attitude and completely unjustified self confidence.

Having been to Nu Yawk, I can see a degree of truth in this statement, even to its being on another planet. New York is...different...

I think he means a geography class. I hope this isn't a sign of the times we are living in, but I'm afraid it is.

Don't scoff. You'd be surprised how much geography you can learn by studying rocks. Ain't that right, other stupid girl?

Because geology is what you go to look at to understand where things are on a map. Oh my gosh my brain cells are leaking out after reading so many of these.

i mean to be fair NY city is so much better than the rest of the US that it almost feels like it's Europe. Just a bit dirtier Europe.

They're not wrong if their definition of "Geology" is studying the surface patterns of a giant space rock.

Always ask sincere follow-up questions! Fine, let’s try to reschedule the eclipse, who should we call? And where do you think the supermarkets get the produce they sell? It’s very interesting, this flat earth: how do we stop the sea water from sloshing over the sides?

I hate the anti-vaxxers. The research was proved wrong, and even if it wasn’t, they’d rather have their kids die than be autistic, like me? It hurts.

a few years back someone posted on Fakebook that "There's 5 Fridays in October this year, this is called moneybags and only happens once every 897 years blah, blah, blah" Of course I pointed out that there are in fact only 14 calendars ensuring that every date will repeat itself every 14 years. And certain things such as 5 Fridays in October, happens sometimes more than once in that 14 year span. I then listed every October with 5 Fridays for the next 100 years. They removed their post.
