In life, we all get our chance to shine, like nailing an important presentation at work or leading the football team to victory. Such highs make us want to share our joy with everyone. On the other hand, we also have those embarrassing moments—searching for our keys while holding them or misplacing our groceries.

On such occasions, our common sense takes a backseat, and our brain refuses to function—a brain fart, if you will. But don’t worry, you are not alone. Sometimes, people are hilariously clueless and naive and thankfully, someone captured it on camera.

To help you momentarily forget your goof-ups and lift your spirits, Bored Panda has collected a list of silly things that people have said and done.

Same sidewalk, cemetery, church, school, neighborhoods, department stores, restaurants, gas stations, supermarkets, colleges etc.etc.etc. Even though those institutions are supported by Black taxes, so yeah...Black people have always subsidized white people by white people giving themselves the majority of the handouts. White people benefit from Black taxes

Never Get A Tattoo If You Can't Understand What It Says

Never Get A Tattoo If You Can't Understand What It Says

takatori Report

Have you ever been in a situation where you randomly blank out or end up doing something silly, and wonder, "What was I thinking?" Welcome to the world of brain farts – those awkward moments when our mind stops functioning, leaving us confused and sometimes embarrassed.

Our brains are incredibly complex organs, capable of processing vast amounts of information efficiently. But they experience hiccups from time to time, or 'cognitive dysfunction'.

A brain fart, which can be linked to cognitive dysfunction, perfectly describes those instances when our mental processes seem to malfunction. Thankfully, many of these glitches are quite common and easy to manage.

We can hit a roadblock when our stress levels skyrocket or we are exhausted. This causes our attention to waver and our memory to play hide-and-seek. Picture this: you're working late in the night, trying to finish a last-minute project, and you keep reading the same paragraph over and over again, unable to understand a word of it.

It is hard to concentrate when our brains are pushed to the limit. In order to recharge our batteries, we should indulge in relaxing activities or hit the gym. This will not only soothe our soul but also help kick stress to the curb.

The argument that raising minimum wages will increase the price of goods and services ignores the simple law of supply and demand. If Taco Bell could sell their burritos for $38 they would. But demand isn't high enough to charge that amount. Demand has set the price at $3.79. Another argument is that if Taco Bell raise wages and keep the burritos the same price then because they'll make smaller profits they'll close all their restaurants. In other words: raise minimum wage and the businesses will shut down. But any profit, whatsoever, will be pursued. If each Taco Bell only made a guaranteed profit of just $1 a year, someone or some company would buy them all. It's guaranteed money. There's no such thing, on this scale, as too little profit to be worth it. Raising minimum wages can hurt small and independent businesses, this is true. But if you can't afford to pay a living wage then you can't afford to run a business.

And besides in the US they have already proven that if you simply ask for higher wages, they will pre-emptively raise prices by %100 or more, claim it's 7%....and that we're all babies overspending on coffee drinks and don't know how to manage money.

What's the price of a burger or burrito in a country which has a liveable minimum wage? Yes, exactly, nowhere near that price.

The internet tells me the average Taco Bell does $1.6 million in annual sales. If payroll cost went up by 100k they'd need to increase revenue 6.25%, making that $3.79 burrito cost $4.27. Price it at $4.29 and hardly anyone will b***h, and the owner gets another 8k in annual revenue. Fast Food prices in Europe aren't much different than US prices.

The general consensus on the internet is that Taco Bell franchise owners don't even make 100k as an average. If they're open 12 hours a day every day that's 4380 hours. That's 8760 hours per year if they have 2 employees working all the time. Another $2/hr is $17,520 just for payroll.Then there's a bit over $1080 for the employer's share of social security. Workman's comp is probably similar. That would make a $2/hr raise cost the owner 20% of their pre-tax income, and there are probably other costs that go up with the hourly wage. That said, average gross income for a franchise is $1.6 million, so 20k in additional expense is 1.25%, or another 5 cents on a $3.99 burrito. I'm also puzzled that average income is so low. When I worked at a McDonald's a very long time ago the owner was making about 100k.

Odd, you can order one from my Taco Bell at $4.89, one for $4.99 and they have one for $5.79. I live in a town of less than 50K people. I don't think this is the most expensive TB burrito in DC. I get the message intent, I just don't think that is factual.

And if you really think about it, which these people don't, the wage of workers is just one way for them to brainwash stupid people whilst they parlay bonuses and perks to the top echelon like it's candy. Or Churros, to keep it on topic.

What these idiots don't realize is that the inflation for the pay increase is already there....the worker's share just went to the boss or company or the corporation instead of to the worker.

Morons who think the price would go up that much probably think somebody with $330 million could give each one of the 330 million people in the US $2 million.

People act like there aren't countries that pay a livable minimum wage, w mandatory at least 30 days off, universal healthcare, free college, and better social programs wo making it difficult for the normal person. It's amazing what can happen when the rich pays its fair share in taxes.

My bf and I live in SoCal (Orange County) and we've noticed that a meal from McDs can be $30ish (or $40ish) these days (two burgers, one fry, some nuggets) and even Jack-in-the-box is $25ish for two burgs and fries. We now go to local small restaurants instead and can get a full meal - with leftovers to take home - for a similar price (and less gastrointestinal distress - we're in our early 40s, can't eat like we used to, lol.) I imagine with the new fast food min-wage increase, the fast food franchisees are only going to jack the prices up even more :( In-n-Out is still reasonably priced so far, at least, except for how long you're gonna wait in the drive-through XD

It's funny that you think people buying fast food because they don't know how to make a burger, taco, or whatever. It's pretty much a convenience thing, not an inability to know how to do it.

In today's fast-paced world filled with distractions, staying focused can be difficult. One moment of distraction, and bam! our train of thought derails, leaving us wondering where it all went wrong. That's the magic (or rather, the mischief) of a brain fart, it sneaks up on us when we least expect it, turning our well-laid plans into hilarious moments.

Participating in meditation events or learning new breathing techniques helps to sharpen our attention and focus on the present moment. In fact, organizational tools such as calendars or to-do lists are a great way to keep your appointments and tasks in check. A structured approach helps prevent those "oops" moments.

While multitasking is impressive, sometimes it's a recipe for disaster. When we attempt to do too many tasks at once, our brains get overwhelmed, like a computer that has too many tabs open. And just like that, we start to lag because of the overload.

To avoid going from lightning-fast to snail's pace, one should focus on one task at a time. When we keep switching between different things, our brains need time to refocus and this prevents us from fully immersing ourselves in the task at hand. It’s harder to achieve meaningful progress while multitasking. So, remember to take a deep breath, and tackle things like the productivity pro you are.

A Person Who Hacked My Credit Card Emailed Me, Asking Why I Canceled His Flight

A Person Who Hacked My Credit Card Emailed Me, Asking Why I Canceled His Flight

My credit card was hacked. I think the guy did it by hacking my Gmail account because he signed up for Priceline using the Gmail login button.

I called my bank and canceled it. I logged into Priceline to see if I could get any information about the person who booked the flight. I saw I could cancel it for no charge. So I did it because it was going to be faster to get a refund from Priceline than my bank.

Two days later I got this email. It had his photo and phone number. It matched the name on the flight too.

Don’t forget, sleep is your brain's secret weapon that keeps your cognitive powers in top shape. Not getting enough rest can impair memory, attention, and your decision-making abilities. Imagine: You are staring blankly at the fridge, wondering what exactly you are looking for. It's like your brain hit the snooze button along with your alarm clock.

ADVERTISEMENT

That's why it's important to prioritize quality sleep. Aim for a solid 7-9 hours of uninterrupted shut-eye every night, and it will help you efficiently tackle whatever challenges the day throws your way.
