Everyone likes to think that they’re pretty smart and at the top of their game all the time, but the truth is, we all do and say some pretty dumb things sometimes. Like eating an entire bucket of KFC or looking everywhere for our glasses while we’re wearing them (true story). However, sometimes people mess up so badly that they end up on the internet when it looks like brain.exe stopped working for them.

Most of us know that embarrassing memories of dumb stuff that we did back in school/work/last Monday tend to resurface at the worst possible moments. So to make you feel better about yourself, Bored Panda has collected a list of some awesomely dumb things that people have said and done.

There’s nothing like other people messing up to make us forget all of our mistakes for a moment, right, dear Pandas? Scroll down, upvote your fave pics, and if you feel brave, let us know what the stupidest things you’ve ever done were! You can check out our earlier articles about stupid people doing stupid stuff here and here. Oh, and here's the coronavirus edition of dumb people acting dumb.

There are two kinds of stupidity. The kind where we don’t know that we’re being stupid. And the type where we definitely know but don’t want to stop. No matter how important and wise we might be, we’ll still make mistakes.

But there are reasons why human beings do stupid things, even if we’re aware that what we’re doing is wrong.

There are two kinds of pleasure. The first one that some call ‘liking’ is happy satisfaction that we get from eating a good meal, having a drink of water after a fun game of basketball, or getting a hug from a friend you haven’t seen in ages. Simple, wholesome things that make life wonderful.

The second kind of pleasure, ‘wanting,’ is associated with thrills and desire. It’s the second kind of pleasure that makes us do stupid things that can have lots of negative consequences.

Sometimes, we say, “Damn the consequences” and do something small that’s stupid; no real harm done, right? Wrong. This can have a snowball effect and we’ll start doing dumber and dumber things. The next thing you know, we might end up on the internet before our brain.exe could reboot and save the day.

Or the baby is born by a surogate mother or the eggs or embrios were frozen before artificial insemination to the woman who is convinced to be the biological mother. It's good to check to be sure there weren't any switches

Some time back, there was a woman trying to get welfare in a place that requires proof the children are hers, but the DNA didn't match and she was charged with crimes and her children removed from her custody. It happened that she was pregnant, so legal reps and a person to collect her DNA were present at the birth. Turned out she is chimera, having two sets of DNA and the children actually were her children.

Actually it is possible for a woman to technically give birth to a child that isn't hers so it would therefore not share her DNA, although the chances of there being a mistake during In Vitro Fertilisation that would result in the woman having somebody else's embryo implanted are seriously slim.

Actually, there was one woman who turned out to have different DNA than her children and she gave birth to them in hospitals. Turns out she was a chimera - she absorbed a fraternal twin in the womb and her uterus and ovaries had different DNA to the rest of her.
