Failure isn’t always a bad thing. Without it, we wouldn’t learn, grow, or have nearly as many things to laugh at.
And if you need proof, just take a scroll through There Was An Attempt, the iconic subreddit dedicated to efforts that didn’t quite make it. It’s no stranger to Bored Panda, and for good reason—people keep failing in ways that are way too funny not to share.
So, enjoy this fresh batch of attempts that didn’t go as planned, and don’t forget to upvote your favorites!

How is Texas' power grid faring these days? And Rubio is a high heel wearing weasel. (Nothing wrong with high heels unless you punish others for wearing the same).

Not sure why you're inquiring about the state of Texas' power grid? Rubio is from and represented the state of Florida.

They are both nonsense states and just like black people to them, they all look alike to me./s But yeah for the rest of us they are different states. One can be forgiven for making an honest mistake in comparing the two.

By Elon Musk To Increase Congress Pay While Laying Off Tens Of Thousands
Blah Blah Blah 1 day ago
Each congress member gets paid the same in one MONTH what someone on social security gets paid in one YEAR! That means Bob, a paramedic who worked for 15 years at a private ambulance company and volunteered at his local fire department gets diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's disease and can't work. Bob has no choice but to get on disability, a program he's been paying into his entire working life. Bob is now paid less than $1400 a month. That's just under $17,000 a year. Every member of congress is currently paid $176,000 a YEAR. That means Bob's income for the entire YEAR equals close to the same as 1 MONTH of pay for each congress member. Read that again and give it a good think!

To Hide Disgruntled Constituents
Shannon Donnelly 1 day ago
Town halls, by definition, are open to anyone who lives in the town. They aren’t meant to be political venues but are meant for those of the community to voice any issues they have. The fact that politicians have turned these community meetings into political events is the problem. The crisis is that they’ve now taken it upon themselves to physically remove people who speak up and disagree with them using private security that they have no right to use. Blatant first amendment violation along with with what should be a*****t since these are supposed to be public meetings and the “private” security company has no right to be there.

Thank you. When we're split into East America and West America after the next War, remember that there will alway be those of us fighting against the f*****t regime in an Underground.

More likely it will be three; there will be a 'core' claiming to be the original US, of mostly east-coast and a few more central states, there will be a f*****t nation calling itself the People's Republic of Great America, consisting of mostly the Southern states from Florida to Texas, and maybe as far north as Kansas, and then the West Coast and central heartland, and a great deal of the North, will finally grow into a proper social democracy. Then, after about ten years, the fascists will go to war with the moderates, and lose badly.

It’ll be north and south again, at least from the east coast going to maybe the Mississippi River. The western states are probably red, and then there’s the blue west coast. I’m in Chicago. We’re a sanctuary city and Trump hates us. Much like in the first Civil War, the slave states have nothing but agriculture. The free states have infrastructure and manufacturing, plus Europe would support us.

I am a US citizen. I have hope that our country can recover from this period of absolute stupidity that the orange crybaby jeebus and his MAGAt cult are inflicting upon us all. Some days I have my doubts though. Hopefully, we can sit back one day and laugh about all the dumpster fire Trumpistan years and his complete failure at everything. Then the original title would actually be very appropriate.
