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.
What's even scarier are the people who voted for such tripe.
Load More Replies...It's a joke, but the point is she doesn't understand vaccines. She's not seriously saying that other people taking their allergy medicine impacts her health. She's mocking the reality that people need to get vaccinated to protect a community. Allergies aren't live viruses that can mutate in different hosts to overcome medical interventions to stop it. Viruses are. She doesn't understand the difference between viruses and allergies or the difference between vaccines and medicine.
Load More Replies...Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene are disgraced for the GOP for their STUPIDITY, while Matt Gaetz and Madison Cawthorn are disgraced for their debauchery. They make corrupted old timers like Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham good in comparison.
They are all industrial strength stupid, but NOTHING can make Moscow Mitch and Lindsey look good... nothing.
Load More Replies...Now I have to take my allergy meds. Just seeing her name makes me all itchy.
She should wear a mask. I hear it helps a lot by filtering out pollen.
I feel like we don't talk about about how she dropped out of high school because she got pregnant and how, with all the jobs requiring degrees, somehow a high school dropout is in Congress and showing exactly how smart she is. Like, I'm not shading people for not getting degrees or whatever, but this is a lot of confidence in knowing better than actual experts from a teen mom dropout.
She did not. Rep. Boebert dropped out of high school due to a teenaged pregancy and got her GED at the age of 34. Formal education can definitely be elitist and classist, but there's so much wrong with the fact a pregnant teen couldn't afford to stay in school and that this is the kind of education a GED offers. Now she spews nonsense like this while representing hundreds of thousands of people politically.
Load More Replies...I can’t facepalm myself enough on this comment without getting a concussion… 🤦♀️
It's not stupidity so much as bottomless ignorance, and no desire to know the truth, which is stupid I suppose.
Good thing she wears heels, otherwise somebody would need to tie her shoes. Smh
Lauren Boebert calls her pronoun “patriot.” Sooo, Lauren, “patriot” is a noun and so is idiot.
Please don't stand in front of an American flag when you talk out of your ass. You make the rest of us look bad.
This kind of stupid IS scary, but it wasn't really necessary to start throwing insults. LOL!
And, everyone, make sure to take your birth control, so I won't get pregnant. You know, it doesn't work unless everyone takes it!!!
It seems to me that Ms. Boebert was possibly trying to make a point about Covid vaccines and did it badly.
The only point she has is under her hat. Oh, and her chin...
Load More Replies...I'm guessing it was an attempted sarcastic take on vaccines on her part. As an analogy "Fog's coming up. Everybody better hit the gas or someone might crash your trunk" is about as sensible, if not quite congruent.
Actually allergic reactions can be transmissible. Just not in the typical fashion. Although I admit, this is a stretch..... There is a certain kind of tick that can bite you and cause red meat intolerance. They symptoms are said to be similar to certain kinds of allergic reactions.
An allergy can weaken your immune system and make you more prone to get other infections including URT infections, which can infect other people. So if you don’t take your allergy medication, you might end up making your co-workers sick. https://www.intercoastalmedical.com/2018/01/12/can-allergies-lower-your-immune-system/
It's very scary when a supposedly educated people can not tell that the "quote" they are reading is "sarcasm" … ie: not meant to be taken at all seriously. These days … there's no place for a "sarcastic sense of humor," in todays world. Tell that to TRUMP who skirted around every serious issue with ignorant, mindless, BS sarcasm! God save us all... if he ever gets near the White House again!!!!
Politicians should not make jokes since so many are not capable of recognizing a joke as a joke. Here we have proof of that.
I just thought some stupid idiot wrote the first post. She is a member of congress? Oh dear. I remember a coworker coming to work sniffing, blowing etc. and I asked her if she could go home with that cold. Nope, allergies. What a relief. I have yet to catch an allergy from someone.
It seems the only qualifications you require to be a Republican rep or congressman or woman is to be articulate yet totally stupid.
Whenever she dies, the average intelligence level of the entire planet will rise.
This is a mean post all the way around. Yes, that's an ignorant person. But which is worse, being ignorant or being someone who ridicules and shames others?
If you use your PUBLIC POSITION to flaunt your egregious stupidity, you deserve what comes. She's (regrettably) a public figure, therefore, should learn to keep her pie hole shut. Nothing good had ever come from there, that's a fact.
Load More Replies...Technically speaking this whole post could be dedicated to Lauren Boebert.
So, like, if I consume x number of calories per day, so does everyone else?
You all do understand she's being SARCASTIC hence the vaccine kinda sh*t.
It's a joke, but the point is she doesn't understand vaccines. She's not seriously saying that other people taking their allergy medicine impacts her health. She's mocking the reality that people need to get vaccinated to protect a community. Allergies aren't live viruses that can mutate in different hosts to overcome medical interventions to stop it. Viruses are. She doesn't understand the difference between viruses and allergies or the difference between vaccines and medicine.
Load More Replies...She was making a statement about the COVID vaccine. She is saying: If you’re vaccinated, why do you care if others are? The efficacy of the vaccine is not correlated to others getting the vaccine. The response is correctly pointing out that COVID, unlike allergies, is contagious. While the %efficacy rate of the vaccine will not increase with more people getting it, the overall infection rate will decrease.
Hope everyone wears their seatbelt so I am safe ..... world has gone mad
So rude. I thought Bored Panda was a platform for all of us to communicate. If people are afraid to make a comment then you are just created a space for only people with the same nature, similar experiences, common outlook, and identical opinions. All contributors should show respect for each other and I think Bored Panda has a responsibility to encourage this.
I think she is doing a parody joke on masks that only an antimasker would get. Actually decent dry humor.
No, we get it. It's just that only an anti-vaxxer/anti-masker would think it was funny.
Load More Replies...Yes, she was being sarcastic. However the point to her sarcasm is that she thinks the idea of everyone getting vaccinated to create herd immunity is just as stupid as everyone taking allergies so hers will work. She doesn't believe in the vaccine.
Load More Replies...congratulations on believing she knows how to do sarcasm
Load More Replies...It isn't that we don't get it, nimrod. It's that it isn't funny, and it actually does showcase her ignorance.
Load More Replies...Google "herd immunity." Not everyone can safely get vaccinated, but there's a certain threshold of people who need to be vaccinated to eliminate a virus. Viruses are alive. They can mutate, but they need hosts to do that. Viruses can mutate in ways that make vaccines no longer effective. That's scary. It means our "cure" (aka prevention) will no longer work. For almost every virus, being vaccinated means that a virus can't use you as a host to grow and potentially mutate. If enough people are vaccinated, the virus will have no hosts and die off -- which is the goal.
Load More Replies...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."

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.

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."

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.
