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!

This Just Made Me Laugh, Thought I'd Share
Part Of The Control Group
We're all being experimented on, researched, in one way or another. From the moment of conception until we die. Give your body up to science and they'll be experimenting beyond death.
Early Covid-haver, vacc’d, boosted, boosted here. I get EVERY vaccine that I can as a traveler to countries that have yellow fever, Japanese Encephalitis, etc etc. However, I think the rhetoric of calling people anti-vaccers who are only resisting the covid vaccine just perpetuates the division and misunderstandings. I personally know many people who have all the standard vaccines, but choose to wait longer regarding the covid vaccine. I don’t agree with their choice, but they are not the same as anti-vaccers, and they are also not anti-maskers (who are an entirely different, self-centered subgroup.) The repeated problem of anything in this world is to be so obtuse as to paint people with one brush, and never allow for nuance, for deeper conversation in person (as opposed to BP and any social media where challenging someone gets you little goodie votes from self-righteous peers.) There is no hope for any of us in this all or nothing mentality in our approach to each other.
But when one of these antivaxers infects someone you love, and they die, will you still beat this played drum? Really?

But why? Have you really researched?I don't think of you as less than a person but I am wondering how you would come to this anti-vax conclusions if you researched all data?

At least the control group has control over what is put into thier bodies. (For some of us our allergies to certain medicines render the illnesses less dangerous than the cures...yes allergies suck.)
What am I missing? Anyone who is not part of an experiment is the control group, right...? 100 people take the drug = experimental group; 100 people who do not take the drug also have the disease = control group...? Or are you saying everyone has the disease? If it is “They are indeed part of the experiment because they are the control group...” there is no irony on their part. They are part of the control group because other people consider them so, not because they consider themselves thus—so there is no question of their “realising” they are part of any control group and hence no possibility of irony here.
Honestly, back in 2020 I wondered if the entire US had decided to act as a control group en-masse!
Aww so awesome! You don't even care about infecting children who can't get vaccinated yet! Way to go!
Load More Replies... That’s like people saying they don’t want to be political. Everything is political including not wanting to be involved in politics even as a voter
One doesn't even have to try hard to not be involved in politics, not being involved actually comes pretty easily. So much so that the surest way to get people's gears turning is simply telling them 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤 𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.

This is a hill I will die on, I already have enough broken trust in my story, and I'm not falling for vaxxines, I will not, no matter what, get it
If the world was infected with a disease such as Covid, and there was a new tested vaccine on the market. The control group would be the people not vaccinated, more prone to the disease. So no I would not want to be part of the control group. Just my opinion though! You do you.

And we’re still alive….and haven’t even gotten a cold in 3 yrs. Explain that!
Do you live in a crowded city? Do you go out alot? Do you have underlying health conditions? If all of them are no that could be a reason why. If yes, you are lucky because there are plenty of Anti-vaxxers getting sick and dying due to their choices.

This is ridiculous. Over %80 of Covid positive ppl are vaxxed. Not saying I can't get it, would never say that. But everyone I know that's we've gotten it was fully vaccinated.. most unvaccinated haven't gotten it. And I will never trust the ppl like FAUCI and Gates who have made more money off this pandemic than they have in a decade and have huge investments in the vaccines.... That's science.
Honestly, back in 2020 I wondered if the entire US had decided to act a control group en-masse!
If there's any such antivaxer saying this it's probably because they know nobody controls their destinies except them, and would only be controlled in any way if they allowed themselves to be. Everyone wants to think they're hopelessly doomed and forever tied to and controlled by something like a govt entity, when in reality it's because they have never lost control of something vital like shelter. Access to food, water etc. And when that finally does happen to someone who's never experienced it, they suddenly become aware of the need to regain control and dire consequences of not doing so in the face of survival. It's very easy to go off the radar. Even to avoid a shot. Every survivalist/wilderness occupant must be an anti vaxer then. In control of their fortunes, lives, decisions. Without a govt entity. Interesting. Jessalyn doesn't think very deeply often.
Stupid chick! Get informed what control group in an experiment means
The irony of someone calling people anti-vaxxers when they have and have given their children all other vaccines except the covid one.
Which is made even more hilarious knowing that they will drink bleach and eat Tide pods if the orange one tells them it might work... but nooooooo, don't EXPERIMENT on me! Pass me the hydroxychloroquin.
Not all of us worship Fat Orange Donnie. Got both Moderna hits, and my first booster as soon as I could. Being an immunocompromised now three time cancer survivor, I value medical science over feelings, beliefs, and opinions.

I am pro choice regarding the vaccine and delighted to be part of a control group. The whole pro and anti is just another way to keep folks at odds with each other while disrespecting the value of freedom of personal choice regarding our bodies
It's personal choice until you could be killing other people.

Anti Vaxxers would not even know what a control group is, a double blind study or peer reviewed research is.
My whole house got Covid a little over 2 weeks ago, so yes it is still around where I am.
Load More Replies... 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.

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."

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

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."

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.
