Cars? Check. DIYs? Check. Funny fails and bizarre happenings? Check and check. All of these and so much more can be found on the internet, for those interested in one or the other. As a matter of fact, there’s a place you can find all of the above, and that’s the ‘If Ya Squint, It’s Mint’ group on Facebook.

Brimming with all sorts of entertaining material, the group is a treasure trove of fails, especially if you’re a fan of DIYs gone wrong or ideas that you simply know are not going to end well. Scroll down to find some examples of both, in addition to other unexpected snapshots, and enjoy!

Below you will also find Bored Panda’s interviews with one of the founders of the group, Jacob, and the Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Department of Psychology at University of Waterloo and an expert in boredom, Dr. James Danckert, who were kind enough to answer a few of our questions.

    Another "not a failure to think through". More like a failure to know (yet) how harmful asbestos can be. It's a bit like lead in paint to make it last longer / mildew less. Seems like a good idea until you find out kids eat it / lead damages the environment.

    It's crazy to me from a 21st century perspective how much asbestos was sold as this miracle product. My grandfather was an asbestos miner back in the 1950s (before the danger became public knowledge, although well after his employers had been warned about it and just straight up not told their workers or customers because capitalism is working for everyone) and in his town they used to spread asbestos all over the playground instead of pine bark so that kids would have a soft landing. Can you imagine? We still don't know if any of my aunts and uncles who lived there (they'd moved by the time my mum was born) will develop asbestosis or mesothelioma eventually from all the asbestos they breathed in constantly in that town. My grandfather died of mesothelioma about a decade ago and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. It's a horrible, painful and debilitating way to go.

    Up and running for roughly 4 years now, the ‘If Ya Squint, It’s Mint’ Facebook group has already amassed close to 900k members. “The group was started by me in May of 2020 and grew to about 115,000 members in about 9 months,” its founder, Jacob, told Bored Panda in a recent interview.

    Discussing how it all started, Jacob shared that he came up with the concept of the name because of his old F-150 truck. “I’ve had it for years; my dad is the original owner and grew up with it since the age of 5. It was very rusty and had a bunch of scratches and bed liner covering up bad attempts at bondoing rust spots. My dad was joking around with me one night saying the truck only looks good past 20 feet and I quipped back the line—If ya squint it’s mint—and the idea took off.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “Over the years, that truck saved my life from an active shooter to being my place to sleep when I was homeless living across the country,” the founder of the group shared, adding that even with numerous “sketchy upgrades and modifications” that he did, the vehicle still looks mint past 20 feet.

    I’m very careful on outdoor wood now. I previously fell on somebody’s decking (that had a slope down to the garden) and landed on my back hard. I was carrying an old dog so took an extra hard landing to protect the dog. It gets so slippery. And it’s such a hard surface to land on.

    “I feel like the phrase ‘If ya squint it’s mint’ has been used in so many different places on the internet since I started this group,” Jacob shared. “Like, the other day I heard it referenced in an automotive YouTube channel and thought to myself ‘That’s my group; I wonder if they’re here’. At work, I overheard two people I’ve never interacted with before talking about a post they saw on ‘squint’. I jumped in and asked them a bunch of questions on their opinions of the group. I asked them to pull out their phones and look at the group again and see who owns it. The look on their faces was priceless.”

    Jacob admitted that the group is definitely a challenge to manage at times. “In the early days (pre 2020 election), it was at its worst,” he said, adding that he tries to keep politics out of the way because of the hatred people have in regards to certain political matters.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “I have a policy to block and remove anyone speaking about politics on either side of the aisle. It’s getting difficult to moderate it all the time because of the sheer size of the membership. Off the top of my head, I can say between bot accounts, inappropriate comments, and politics, I’ve banned over 40,000 accounts. Approving posts is done by me, my wife—the other admin—and a few friends of mine who moderate when they feel inclined to help. I enjoy seeing all the weird things people take pictures of on roads.”

    “The group is basically a place for people to post all the weird and funny stuff they encounter either in real life or a shared post somewhere else. It’s kinda morphed into a meme or ‘what’s wrong with this picture’ type of group,” he added.

    Discussing why people might be interested in pictures of situations they know nothing about or have no context for, Dr. James Danckert pointed out that sometimes, viewing random internet content is a way to occupy their mind. “When we’re bored, that kind of passive occupation of our thoughts is easy; kind of like playing a game on our phones endlessly, a la Candy Crush. But it rarely, if ever, solves boredom. What we need when we’re bored is to be more agentic – to intentionally choose something meaningful to engage with.”

    “Not sure that amusement online would achieve anything different than amusement in real life – it’s good to laugh!” the expert continued, while on the topic of amusing internet content, many of which is based on the so-called fails.

    When asked what is likely to be the reason why we find fails funny, Dr. Danckert said: “I can only think of schadenfreude.

    “Maybe it also pulls us out of a low arousal slump – again, if we’re bored, watching ‘fails’ might seem exciting,” he added.

    If you’re wondering, what in the world is schadenfreude, to put it simply, it’s the joy that misfortune experienced by others brings.

    While it sounds cruel presented like that, it doesn’t mean that everyone who has experienced it is some sort of a sociopath. Schadenfreude can also be experienced when a friend you love and care for dearly trips on a sidewalk and you—after making sure they still have all their teeth—can’t help but laugh at their clumsiness. If you ask me, schadenfreude can be perceived as an ability to see the beauty in fails, be it your own or those of others.

    Whether it’s related to maintaining our social status or watching our clumsy friends, schadenfreude is likely to be the reason we find certain fails funny. Take America’s Funniest Home Videos, for instance; counting its 35th season, the show is largely based on people getting themselves into all sorts of unfavorable situations, most of which look somewhat entertaining to others.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    So, the fact that people love browsing fails online, too, comes as no surprise. If you’re a fan of such instances yourself, chances are you’ve already giggled at some of the failures shared on this list. But if you want more, continue to browse the funniest Halloween fails, the biggest tattoo fails, or wife fails that had the internet in stitches next.

    You can put a another layer on top but eventually to need to take it down to the plywood. This crooked contractor put plywood over the top of the existing shingles instead of removing them. Probably changed the homeowners for removal too.

    Good grief this is just the lead weights attached to the inside of the wheel to balance it for a smoother ride. Or is it because they stacked the weights.

    Royal College of Art graduate shows that shrinking old plastic bottles around wood joints is a good way to make furniture.

    I'm guessing it's for a very lean person to roller skate down so they can break their ankles at the bottom

    None. Don't think my mobility scooter will fit, if it fits I don't think it can bear the load

    Only an idiot would do this. Incredibly dangerous, especially if one of the eggs travel to the brain.

    Great place to keep valuable pieces like computers and cams. No thieves can reach there. (The only explanation I could find)

    Ah, the C-bend. Speeds up the rate at which the sink drains, but it stinks.

    Driving in a torrential downpour right now, no front bumper, no doors, a soaked kid in the back seat and the other side was wrecked.

    Might be perfectly legal depending on where it is. Lots of places have very lax car safety laws. I’ve seen some very DIY repaired cars in photos.

    Is that a tiny little flag at the back end of the item? That ain't nearly enough of a warning to drivers behind you. This cannot be street-legal. Please tell me someone stopped him before he drove off!

    It is here in NC, you can tie a red mechanics rag to the back and of anything hanging off the back end of a truck or trailer and it's legal.

    Door opens practically to toilet so awkward shuffling to get in and close it behind you. If someone opens door when you're in there it'll be right into your knees (I had a bathroom like this, left apt after lease was up mostly due to this single issue)

    The bathroom has a slopped roof, so the tub surround doesn't go to the ceiling on two sides. This is strictly aesthetic, there is nothing structurally or functionally wrong here. I would finish it because it would bug me, but nothing is wrong.
