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."

Incredible
Do you have any brothers or sisters? Because Muslims and Christians already are acting like siblings. That's where all the trouble comes from.
"Mumslims". Already can't take him seriously when he can't spell Muslim correctly.
Christian, Muslim, Jew; we all believe in the same God, just different prophets.
There's mansplaining and now Popesplaining. Some dudes cannot help themselves.
2 ppl saying the pope isnt catholic enough. when the pope is peak catholicism. christians have reached peak stupidity
I mean, if that’s his argument, someone can easily flip it and say, “Why don’t you ask Christians to switch to Muslim?” - Organized religion is a bunch of made up s**t by men who then like to use it to control women so who cares what your magic wizard in the sky is called, it’s all the same.
Since when do Catholics read the Bible? I grew up Catholic and never saw one until I stayed at a motel.
im muslim... why is he telling the POPE to tell muslims to convert thats kinda part of his job *smh*
Just because he is the Pope does not mean he knows everything. He is just as human as the rest of us. I wish no ill to Muslims, but I find it hard to consider anyone a brother whose religion states that I am less than human and have no human rights just because I'm a woman. (Just because I don't like them does not mean I will treat them badly, but I'm not going to join them either.)
Yes he did, you know why? The Pope doesn't believe the truth. He is a heretic who will sadly go to hell if he does not come to faith in Christ as the only way to get into heaven, not that he can work his way into heaven.
Okay, imagine it this way. Donald J Trump as president says or does something unconstitutional, somebody online points out the part of the constitution this goes against. Imagine then someome says "did u srsly just ask the president to read the constitution" you'd call that person an idiot.
One wonders if this fountain of "brilliant ideas" knows anything about Jesus' ministry. Seriously.
"Mumslims"! Is that a new brand of workout clothes for women to wear instead of sweatpants? Is it a brand of cigarettes targeted at women like Virginia Slims? I am so confused!
Gottas love them "Mumslims." Are they anything like the momraths outgrabe?
Obviously Pope Francis read the Bible. The part about loving your brother.
Betcha if the Muslims would read Jesus saith unto him, I am the away, the truth, and the life: no man ccometh unto the Father, but by me. Wow! they'd covert in droves.
To be fair: the Pope's are moving further and further away from traditional Christianity
Jesus saith unto him, I am the away, the btruth, and the life: no man ccometh unto the Father, but by me.
Realizing my "Laugh at Arrogance" reflex has gotten out of control reading this post. Laughing Waaaaay Tooooo Hard!!!!!!!!
You know, Hans, catholics wouldn´t allow mumslims for priests or popes :-D ... they only take men
in the 21 century Christian governments are not allowing Christians to kill Muslims. but muslim governments seem to allow muslims to kill christians, take them as slaves use females from young children to old as sex slaves or forced to marry and bear children and kill them when tired of them
The pope’s far from perfect. And his statement is asinine. Start with the book of John, Francis.
Muslim Is an Abrahamic religion, so he is correct, and that's not taking into consideration that according to the bible we are all descendants of first Adam & Eve, then of Noah.

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.

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.

Most of them non-Catholic, btw. It's very frustrating having to fight black legend about Catholicism, because somehow it is tied with Spanish black legend...
