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.

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

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
Bullet dodged. I can only imagine what his mother would think of a non-white grandchild since hair color was an issue for her

Man, I have a weakness for redheads. My wife is a fiery redhead, and I love it! It's funny seeing us in public. An alabaster skin redheaded white woman, and a very Hispanic brown guy. Hahaha.
I had a child with Down syndrome (she passed away last year from covid). 8 yrs ago I was casually dating a man recently divorced. He told me he wouldn't date me "seriously" because he didnt want that life long commitment to a disabled child & never wanted to remarry. (I actually respect his decision & honesty). He was dating another woman. She got pregnant, they got married and had a son with Down Syndrome.
what's the issue with red hair ? I'm always jealous when I see one.
My question is.... WHY THE HELL DOES HIS MOM CONTROL HIS RELATIONSHIP!?!?!??!
Being a redhead, all of my bones are activated and they are all in attack mode.
In what awful universe is having red hair a disadvantage? Gingers are awesome!!!
It's a recessive gene, so it can skip generations or it can happen one generation after the other, depending on the genes of the parents, grandparents, etc

This woman didn't just "dodge a bullet," she dodged a whole firing squad!
Its like your walking then all of a sudden someone trips and you laugh then you trip and basically die
You don't want a relationship with a guy who lets his Mommy have that much control in his life anyway.
So, let me get this straight. She is blaming her former boyfriend's mother for the breakup. Hmm. What's that say about the former boyfriend? Good riddance, I say.
Skips a year? Don't you mean generation? Also, don't think that's how it works

Universe be laughing its ass off Universe: swap the kids....dont ask why just do it. Trust me
That cause you stole his soul. And replaced his body with a golem of your dna inside. Lol
Dodged that bullet on more levels than one, least of which is dumping his gf because his mommy told him to.
How does a parent make a grown adult dump someone. He was done with you and found a scapegoat being his Mother. It’s not Karma, he wanted out and blamed mommy.
It happens after years of abuse and control issues on the side of the parent. I saw it in an ex of mine. Her dad made her dump me, because he wanted her to marry a "white cowboy" 🙄. (They were dairy ranchers).

That she has to point out that her kids are blond bothers me
Probably because the never to be mother in law was fixated on blonde, so sucks to her

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.

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.
Many years ago when I hired the first employee for my business. I knew he was very religious but only realized how bad when he asked me why is it that only Gay Men get AIDS. I knew there were people like that but my jaw still hit the floor.
