From the comical mishap of walking straight into a seemingly invisible glass door to the downright perplexing experience of momentarily forgetting the very word 'door' when attempting to recount the incident to a friend, it's an undeniable truth that each of us encounters moments of sheer human fallibility.
Whether it's a dumb fail that leaves us chuckling at our own expense or a brief lapse in memory that momentarily stumps us, these occurrences remind us of our shared humanity and keep us grounded in the unpredictability of everyday life. For better or worse, nowadays, all these mishaps are all over dumb posts on the internet, and all these blunders are documented for years to come.
So to make peace with our collective dullness of mind, we at Bored Panda have an ongoing series where we share pictures of the dumbest things ever said on the internet by people. (In case you haven't seen it, I recommend you check it out here and here and catch up.)
We hope this latest collection of dumb social media posts reassures you that nobody's perfect and allows you to look at your failures with a little less embarrassment. Or, at the very least, it provides you with an opportunity to distract yourself and forget about it!

We All Fail Sometimes, and Here's How to Deal With It Like a Pro
Psychotherapist Amy Morin, LCSW, who is the Editor-in-Chief of Verywell Mind and the author of the bestselling book 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, believes that failure is something we all endure and it's important to know that there are things we can do to feel better about it.
First off, embrace your emotions. Morin highlighted that failure is often accompanied by a variety of emotions, including embarrassment, anxiety, anger, sadness, and shame, just to name a few. Those feelings are uncomfortable, and many people will do anything they can to escape the discomfort they cause but according to research, allowing yourself to feel bad is actually motivating. It can help you work harder to find better solutions so that you'll improve next time, even if we’re talking about the dumbest things ever said on the internet—they can also make you feel very underwhelmed.
So Silly Though
I'm pretty sure lots of kids books are about pirates, but I have yet to commandeer a ship, entrap a crew, hoist the jolly roger, and take to the seven seas.
Does Seem Kinda Controversial
Next Level Stupid
Lauren Boebert does not belong in Congress; this level of stupidity is scary.
Minimizing the Discomfort Won’t Make It Go Away Completely
Next up, we should make an effort to recognize our unhealthy attempts to reduce pain. "You might be tempted to say, 'I didn't actually want that job anyway,' but minimizing your pain won't make it go away," Morin said.
"Distracting yourself or filling the void you feel with food, drugs, or alcohol won't heal your pain either. Those things will only provide you with some temporary relief."
Wooosh
Just A Bit Of A Difference
How Is This Possible
Not A True Catholic
I guess the Pope should take catechism classes from Ashley, as she knows so much about Catholicism.
Building Healthy Coping Skills is Vital
After that, we can start focusing on healthy coping skills instead. "Calling a friend, practicing deep breathing, taking a bubble bath, going for a walk, or playing with your pet are just a few examples of healthy ways to deal with your pain," the psychotherapist explained. We’d also add that looking up something fun, like the shortcomings of the dumb people on the internet, might also cheer you up.
"Not every coping skill works for everyone, however, so it's important to find what does for you."
How Can People Break Up For Such Stupid Reasons
You Know... The Other Mariah Carey
It’s one thing to lack knowledge, be naive or ignorant. These are merely obstacles. However, needing some warped sense of validation by correcting people you know nothing about, or even worse, mansplaining simply because they’re a woman, is a character flaw at best, a personality disorder most likely.
They Definitely Need A Disability Advocate
People Can Be Really Stupid Sometimes
A 2016 review published in Clinical Psychology Review that looked at 46 studies examining reactions to failure found that a "more positive attributional style" was a strong factor in how resilient people were to the emotional distress caused by failure.
In other words, they saw failure as a result of something specific and external rather than something internal.

Unpopular Opinion: We Should Make Crime Illegal
"When you find yourself thinking that you're a hopeless cause or that there’s no use in trying again, reframe your thoughts," Morin suggested.
"Remind yourself of more realistic thoughts about failure such as: a) failure is a sign that I'm challenging myself to do something difficult; b) I can handle failure; c) I can learn from my failures."

Well like 30% of the world’s population thinks humans were magically created from dirt and rib bones so….
The National Geographic–Roper 2002 Global Geographic Literacy Survey of 18-24yo (voting age) found these US people: Have lowest geographic literacy. Half didn’t know the difference between “geography” and “geology” 1/3 believe the US population is between 1 and 2 billion. 25% did not select “50” as number of states with double that not knowing what the stars on the flag represent. 98% don’t know there is a flag code & it shouldn’t be worn & has guidelines about displaying. 11% couldn’t locate the US on a map or globe. 12% could name US territories, 85% didn’t know Puerto Rico is one, yet the same amount thought Hawaii was. Most US public schools do not include geography so don’t test for it, giving the impression it’s not valuable. *The same goes for civics & government* I won’t spew stats on that, but less than 2/3 of eligible US voters can define the 3 branches of government nor can they explain “separation of powers” and 1/2 didn’t know there were 3 branches.
Because the entire school system, including college are now worrying about how well kids can chase a damn ball so they can all get signed into NBA and NFL, while the college ball coaches get pay a yearly salary that is more than the entire high school staff combined. Yeah, our priority has shifted and the stats shows.

Chocolate milk DOES come from brown cows though. Just not exclusively. And not as chocolate milk.
I want to show all Trump supporters documentaries on Stalin and the other psycho dictators just to point out the similarities
By this logic what do Aberdeen Angus cows produce? Iron brew or Buckies
That's really less than 6% of the entire US population. Elementary school children make up more than 6% of the population. Were they asking elementary school children? That could definitely skew the stats.
What this doesn't tell you is that those 16.4 million Americans are all under six years old.
People liked Trump because he was human. He didn't pretend he was perfect and was willing to be himself in office, flaws and all. We are a bit tired of politicians who think thier BO doesn't stink. Point two it's mostly city people who think chocolate milk comes from certain cows. Most of us in rural America have cows around our communities. We see alot of cows, and are well aware that cows can only produce white milk. The chocolate is added later. Point three the woke crowd tried to say because milk is white that it's racist, when even the nursing black mothers produce white milk. That's just it's color. Colors are not living things, therefore nothing can be bad for simply being a certain color. White milk fine, snow so white you get snow blindness bad. Black soil good, black leopard stalking you on dark moonless night not so much (at least not good for you). Green on grass good, green on bread not good. (Unless it's food coloring or veggies.)
ok bad news for all the people saying hopefully this was a survey of preschoolers lol... i read the article and respondents were over 18!!! BUT... only 7% supposedly believed the brown cow thing, another 48% just "weren't sure where it came from." and obviously they didn't really survey millions of people - just 1,000! so i'm admittedly AWFUL at math but they took that and got 16 million... uhhh somehow. so yeah always take surveys with a grain of salt, they can be suuuper misleading! like perhaps the 1,000 were chosen from a population of previously undiscovered lactose intolerant cave dwelling folk who have never heard of chocolate syrup?? :)
Children - there are over 20 million children under the age of 5 in America!

based on that kind of logic, doesnt that mean strawberry milk comes from pink cows
This reminds me of April Fools quite a few years ago. One of the news channels made a piece about how chocolate, strawberry and banana milkshakes were made by feeding certain cows either chocolate, strawberry and bananas. Way too many people actually believed it. 🤦🏻♂️
Please tell me that the 16.4 million people are children......... Please
What about Strawberry milk? Pink cows? How do these people walk and breathe at the same time?
Normal, unsugared milk: 1l canisters. Sugared, chocolate milk: 2,5l canisters. #murica.
What about black and white cows, what do they produce? And how come they all eat green grass?
Didn't I just point this out earlier? Stupid people vote for stupid people who are in charge of your lives. Sleep tight.
Pretty sure those 16.4 Americans in the study are small children.
There are actually useful discussions concerning Trump being elected President but I think I am more shocked about the idea that chocolate milk comes from brown cows than about the discontented portions of America.
A children's survey is being quoted out of context to rile up the haters. Simple.

16.4 million Americans are so fed up with stupid surveys that they purposely give stupid answers just to mess with the poll takers. I know I always do! It’s fun!
My mom was at a baby shower and a little boy asked what the mom was doing,nursing, he ask what comes out: she said milk. He wanted to know if orange juice came out of the other one,
Studies have found that 1 out of 3 Trump supporters is just as stupid as the other 2.
Well, there are about 20million americans with age 0 to 4, so i don´t find this hard to believe
So... what age are we talking about for the 16 millions? Because I for sure believed that until I was ... I think seven, but I live in a small town and geek out about animals. I'm sure a lot of people in bigger cities with different interests would have been a lot older until they realized.
Trump's speeches were written at a 3rd grade level - they appealed to more people that way.
...Further studies show, Those Same People, think the brown cow has better dance moves then they do lol
Wait a sec here. What about strawberry milk, does it come from red or pink cows?
Wait. Is that true? I mean right now it’s completely believable but… well, is it?
Naw. It is sort of creepily cute. Maybe a misunderstanding as some brown chickens lay brown eggs? (and some brown chickens lay white)
And we have the world's most renowned colleges such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and MRI. Apparently also brown cows...
The milk we drink is..literally modified cow breast milk. It doesn't make a difference if the cow is brown.
That's ridiculous! What about red cows? Does their milk not taste of strawberry?

I believe it, look how many voted for democrats. Everything went to hell .
You would think that they're all kids, but if it was a study, they had to be teens/adults.
Not true. I participated in several studies during my elementary years, as did every other child in my school.

Then 16.4 million Americans should be killed to without the idiocy in the gene pool
It's called food illiteracy, and is a symptom of being a city slicker. They also found people didn't know that hamburger is beef, that pickles are cucumbers etc etc.

However, you will probably need to repeat a phrase or affirmation more than once in order to ward off negative thoughts or to reinforce to yourself that you can bounce back. But you will bounce back! Even the people from these dumb social media posts did, and that accounts to something.

30 Years Later I Still Cringe
If you've spent most of your life avoiding failure, it can feel really scary when it finally catches you off-guard. However, facing your fears can really improve your quality of life. Practice stepping outside your comfort zone, and over time, you'll learn that messing up isn't as bad as you thought!
Just take a look at the dumbest things ever said on the internet documented on this list—to some, they might seem like failures, but at most, they’re happy little accidents that, in the end, make us laugh heartily.

The dangerously stupid are self-exterminating to rebel against science 🧪 and medicine. So again, the situation will leave us with fewer of them. The only problem is that these buffoons murder others with their ignorance.
