65 People Who Tried Way Too Hard To Look Tough Online And Only Made It Awkward
Being liked is a desire many people have. Wouldn't you want others to think that you're smarter, tougher, and cooler than you really are? Isn't that what we do when we're in a new place, among people who don't know us — pretend that we're a better, cooler version of ourselves?
The key to being cool is not to overdo it, but for many people online, that's a foreign concept. Folks tend to brag, lie, and embarrass themselves in myriads of ways, all in an effort to seem more interesting than they are. For your next dose of cringe, Bored Panda has collected the funniest and most embarrassing instances of people online acting tough and failing miserably, so proceed with caution if you don't feel ready for copious amounts of second-hand embarrassment.

The US had another school shooting yesterday, in which three children and a teacher where k****d. The shooter was 16, and was also shot d**d. I'm not sure that's the sort of thing the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the Constitution, but I'm not American so I don't know.

Besides that hole being at the right height for somebody less than 3' tall, that hole might have been made by somebody's head, but I don't think a hole from a fist would look like that. And either way, the fact that there's no real breakage around the hole means the object definitely didn't punch *through* the wall.

Ok, so the assumption is that God, the immortal omnipotent being who created the universe and everything in it, is real, and this guy thinks he could...take God in a fight? Sure, and if Superman were real, I'd flick him in the balls, stick his head in the toilet and f**k his wife.

‘Alpha’ is less accurate for wolves (where the supposed ‘alphas’ are really just parents and often times older siblings), and a little more accurate for hens (pecking order and all).
