Human idiocy, just like our creativity, knows no bounds. Whether it's a temporary brainfart or something more severe, it seems that we always find a way to push the limit.

And you couldn't find better proof of this than the subreddit r/facecpalm. Created all the way back in 2009, this online community describes itself as "a gallery of inexplicable stupidity" and currently has over 6 million members constantly looking for new 'artworks' for its 'collection.'

Over the years, they have collected plenty of examples of people making a complete fool of themselves both online and in real life, so we thought it would be interesting to make an exhibit, featuring the most memorable ones. Continue scrolling and enjoy!

    We reached out to the people who look after r/facepalm and one of them agreed to tell us more about the community. 

    "We moderate according to Reddit's content policy and that means that most of the comment moderation we do is to remove bigotry and racism," they told Bored Panda.

    "The subreddit's community is fine, for the most part. A lot of people come here to have a laugh at whatever silly thing is being posted and that's ok."

    Good job, Andy. Speak up when a reporter forgets women exist.

    You can see a lot of different themes on the subreddit, and the mod said they can change quite fast. "[What's popular] really depends on what is on people's minds at the time. Currently, a popular topic is the insane lengths people go through to deny the facts about Covid."

    But there's a way to determine what we can expect from r/facepalm. According to research, people see actions as stupid for three primary reasons: the actions reflect a foolhardy level of risk, an absent-mindedness and lack of practicality, or an impulsive lack of control.

    So even though the word 'stupid' sounds subjective, scientists have discovered that people are very quick to identify it.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "People don't spend time on judging if something is stupid or not," study researcher Balazs Aczel told Live Science. "It comes instantaneously, and as our results showed, they have high agreement. If one person calls something stupid, there's a high likelihood others will do the same thing."

    If I've said it once, I've said a million times. I don't care if a woman is prancing around completely naked, she is not asking to be raped. A rapist is someone with no care or respect toward another human beings right to the sanctity of their body and personal right to not suffer at the hands of others.

    I worked to TRY to help police officers to be more empathetic towards all abuse victims….it’s an uphill battle. At one of these classes during lunch break, one of the lead officers of the curriculum was standing at the door rating the women as they left the room. Heavy sigh. We had a bit of a chat about his inappropriate behavior and he apologized. Some guys are just clueless.

    It would be great to find who posted the prostitute responsibility comment and, with her consent, amicably press her to reveal her views on major issues in general. Just to blow our minds with the wackadoo b.s. some people allowed in public have going through their minds. Right off the bat you can tell how insecure she is by the amount of makeup she's wearing.

    I on the other hand do dress revealing when I feel like it. Or cover up when I feel like it. Or whatever the damn hell I feel like. Because it isn't my responsibility to cater to your feelings and it's sure as hell isn't my responsibility to control your thoughts. How's about the rapists take responsibility for their own issues. And don't victim blame. Ever.

    Saying that you getting raped is because of something you wore is like saying that you getting abused is because of something you did or that it’s your fault something bad happened to you. It’s not ok to say stuff like this and people who do say this sh*t obviously have no f*****g idea what th it really is that they’re talking abou. I have friends who have gotten raped or abuse. We just got a new hire at work who’s mental health was killing her because she had a rapist who shoved it up inside her for 2 f*****g years and was just sitting there at work playing pool. Being raped is never because of something you did but being an a*****e is entirely your fault. This person needs to get a f*****g brain and a f*****g heart and learn what the f**k they’re talking about because if rape is based off the way you dress than dying is based off the way your face looks. That’s basically the same f*****g thing and this person needs to grow the f**k up

    Wow... I don't know why people have such a hard time with accepting that, "rape happens". You can do absolutely EVERYTHING right, and it happens. I will say that, the more you do right, as an adult, the less your chances so comparing child rape, incest, etc. I don't think is necessarily right because the circumstances are VASTLY different. Like apples and bananas, really. Kids are in a whole other category, they NEED adults to help protect them. But, I do wish we could teach our kids to keep fighting! If your parents. etc. don't believe you, contact CPS, your school, the Feds, anybody and everybody because it is NOT YOUR FAULT. Tell your children to keep fighting, looking up phone numbers, etc. People make me sick sometimes..

It was sooo hard to get that sick woman in jail, but a year and a half later she did. I wish people wouldn't post sh*t like this. Rape is rape and rape is wrong.

If need be we'll have a meeting and it'll pass in a landslide vote that you may no longer call yourself a woman or any derivation there of. Seriously look around you and see what's happening ,you need to open your eyes. I wouldn't wish rape on anyone but if you've ever had a loved one or if you yourself had ever been a victim of rape or sexual abuse you would understand people's reaction to this statement, please think before you voice your opinion .

    You can think whatever you want. I'm stating facts. It is common practice to censor triggering words to help survivors. They can see the censor and know to skip by something they do not want to read instead of having a triggering word surprise them. Not everyone's experience is the same as yours, and it is insensitive to expect that it would be.

    People get mad at me for making the argument that, if you dress skimpy, the change of harassment is larger. People think I'm blaming the victim when I'm trying to help them avoid it, but problem is, the predators in question aren't gonna listen. They're too stupid or damaged. So I'm trying to talk with the victim, as that isn't talking to a brick wall. Could I do this better? I have autism and I'm not good with people

    If you're telling someone to alter the way they dress to help avoid sexual assault, you are also implying that the victim is, to some extent, to be blamed for the assault. The aggressor is always, 100%, at fault, no matter what the victim is wearing.

    It might seem unusual or even strange to investigate how people decide that something is stupid. But scientists love a challenge and researchers who study decision-making had no information, beyond anecdotes, as to how people decide whether an action is stupid.

    So the team collected news stories and other online content that someone had described as stupid.

    One example was a news story about a robber who set out to steal cellphones, but lifted GPS devices instead — and failed to switch the devices off, allowing the police to discover them (and him) immediately.

    Next, the researchers invited 154 different students to gather examples of stupidity from their day-to-day life and read the stories, asking them whether each qualified as stupid.

    The students (who were all Hungarian) then chose possible reasons from a long list as to why they'd decided each example would qualify for the label.

    The reasons fell into three categories. The first, dubbed "confident ignorance," is when someone tackles something high-risk without the required skills. The cellphone/GPS caper was a prime example of this kind of stupidity.

    The next category was "absent-mindedness," which applied to situations where people knew the right thing to do, but for some reason weren't paying close attention. Aczel said one example would be walking out of the store without paying for your groceries.

    The third kind of stupidity was described by a lack of control. It occurred when people knew they shouldn't do something but couldn't resist their impulse to do it anyway. Reaching for the third slice of cake when you know you'll get a stomachache later is an example of this kind of stupidity, Aczel explained.

    According to Aczel, stupidity is an interesting concept because it doesn't always track with intelligence.

    Even people who possess a very high IQ can make extremely dumb moves. The research revealed that judging a behavior "stupid" reveals the observer's expectations of how someone should behave, he said. But the person doing the stupid thing might be operating according to a different set of expectations or goals.

    On a more practical level, you might be wondering if any of this matters. But understanding why people call something stupid might provide better ways to call out dumb behavior, Aczel highlighted. For instance, it might be more helpful to tell someone they're being overconfident than that they're being stupid.

    After the research, the team said they plan to concentrate on the cognitive mechanisms people use to monitor others' behaviors. One mystery, Aczel said, is the question why people find stupidity so amusing, a fact that drives more and more people to become members of r/facepalm.

    "People want to watch other people doing something stupid as a source of amusement," he said. And it's hard to argue with that.

    Most people make decisions unconsciously, because of feelings or bias or whatever is floating around in the depths of the brain... and then they look around for facts to validate a decision that's already been made without benefit of facts. This is why sane people make decisions that seem irrational, and it's also why the Universal Basic Intelligence Test is seeing whether a person will change their mind about something when provided with information that proves a previous decision or opinion wrong. Intelligent people change their minds according to the best information available, stupid people cling to stupid decisions.

    Hate that I have to defend a Kar-Jenner, but it wasn't her makeup artist. It was someone she heard off from her own make up artist and not someone she had actually met or worked with. Kylie donated an amount to make that person reach their desired goal, which happened to be 5k. Then she shared the donation link, after the goal was already hit. And she got called out for that because people don't really have the patience to read a sentence or two.

    And there are a lot of "financial geniuses" who "debunked" this. But we get it, if you rent and you get unemployed, you get evicted and homeless and there's no hassle for the banks. But imagine getting unemployed with a mortgage to pay. The bank will have to foreclose your mortgage, they might even lose some money on your mortgage, which they will have to recoup by pestering and annoying you for the rest of your life.

Laura Browder could've made better choices, sure, but she was desperate to get that job because otherwise she and her kids would've gotten kicked out and become homeless. And we know how much the USA loves homeless people. Regardless, she didn't deserve to be thrown into jail like that. I can't imagine how her kids must've felt to see their mum in that state. Most of all, it may have ruined her chance to get a job and provide an honest living for her and her children :(

    I work for a hospital, in a COVID ICU. They're cutting support personnel, they're cutting supply chains, they're failing to provide needed equipment. Because the lack of support is making this such a shitty place to work, nurses are leaving in droves and they're having to pay the new hires much higher salaries to stay staffed. And of course, the one thing they're *not* cutting is executive salaries.

    This is so common. Where I'm from, they give us the disposable face shields for air travel. My mom travelled alone and then complained to me that it was hard to see out of. I peeled off the plastic in front of her and she as like "ohhh." And so the next time I travelled by air, I noticed a majority of people at my gate, wearing those shields without removing the plastic film. So I made a big show of struggling to remove mine and a few noticed and started removing theirs. It spread around.
