50 Facepalm Moments To Make You Question The World More Than You Already Do (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
More than half of the world now uses social media. That’s around 5 billion people posting whatever they want, whenever they want. While a lot of the content out there is entertaining, informative and interesting, there’s also some that might make you question why certain individuals don’t have their devices confiscated while they sit in the naughty corner. From misinformation, to sheer stupidity, to a lack of critical thinking, there’s no shortage of unsharp tools in the proverbial digital shed.
Thankfully, there’s an online community that makes it their mission to shame those who refuse to think before they type, speak or act. The Facepalm subreddit has more than 8.2 million members, calling out people who have proven themselves to be fools without fear or favor. Bigotry is not tolerated, states the page, though facepalming at it is welcome. We've put together a list of the most cringey, awkward and downright dumb things shared on the page that shine a light on humanity’s beacon of stupidity. Bored Panda also reached out to William DiAntonio, founder and CEO of Reputation911 for some advice on how to conduct oneself online and what to do if or when things fall apart.

In the USA, all the lawmakers are in the pockets of the billionaires so any laws like that will never happen.
In a world where we are bombarded with information left, right, and center, critical thinking is just that: critical. If we were to believe everything we read online, watch on tv, or hear in person, the consequences could be fatal.
Monash University defines critical thinking as “a kind of thinking in which you question, analyse, interpret, evaluate, and make a judgment about what you read, hear, say, or write.” Good critical thinking is about making reliable judgements based on reliable information, notes the university.
When you lack the ability to think critically, and believe everything you read or hear, you run the risk of doing or posting some very stupid or questionable things online. And in turn, ripping your reputation to shreds. What you put out there influences the way people perceive you.
And while you can’t control everything others say, you can manage the content you publish, your responses to feedback, and address defamation to influence the public conversation, warns online reputation management firm Reputation911.

Very few school shooters have gotten the death penalty? Let's break that down. First, you have to be in a state that has a death penalty. Second, you have to be over 18. If you're doing a school shooting, chances are you're under 18. And then lastly and perhaps most importantly, you have to have survived the incident and gotten apprehended by police. Most shooters have k****d themselves before that happens. This meme is skewed and incorrect.
Mike F 9 months ago
There's no fact checking involved. Someone just "creates" a meme and throws it out there where it is picked up by others who then splash it everywhere because it fits their narrative.

As someone who grew up surrounded by Evangelical Christians, I can truthfully say, they share the JOYUS belief that human civilization will collapse. It is something that I was indoctrinated to every day. They WANT civilization to collapse because they think it means the Rapture will happen. It is the GOAL of Evangelical Christians to accelerate, exacerbate, or cause war, poverty, famine, pestilence, and greed in the hope of condemning all of humanity to suffer while they receive a reward. It is the ultimate self-centered and selfish d*****s conspiracy theory.

That's definitely one way of looking at this miserable situation. Maybe this is just a hangover attitude from my 60's protest days, but we didn't have the internet to get our messages out across the nation, and yet we were still able to amass large protests - some that actually produced change. I'm not smart enough to give advice, but somehow we need to reach people who have clocked out. I truly understand the fear-driven apathy the younger generations are feeling, but how can we get them to turn that fear into anger? Anger, properly directed, is a motivator that will enact change.

Reputation911 cautions that social media can be a double-edged sword. Things can go either way, depending on what's posted. As we've seen time and again, content can go viral in a flash on social media, and this isn't always a good thing. Managing your content on social media is critical, warns the agency, and using socials strategically can help with your online image.
"One of the biggest mistakes people make on social media is posting impulsively, without considering how their words or images may be perceived in different contexts. Avoid sharing controversial opinions in a way that invites backlash, disclosing too much personal information, or engaging in heated arguments that can escalate," DiAntonio told Bored Panda.
The expert adds that it's important to remember that even deleted posts can be screenshotted and resurface later. He says it’s always best to pause before posting and ask "Would I be comfortable seeing this on the front page of a news site?"

Clean cheap fusion energy has always been $50 billion and 30 years of research away since the 1950s. But EVERY time we've tried to assemble an international research team it has been under funded or delayed so that the 1% can keep selling us carbon fuels and pollute the Earth while they live like kings. 50 YEARS LATER they finally ponied up 1/5th the funding needed and got 1/5th of the way there. But Sam Altman says he can eliminate the average office worker and suddenly there's $500 BILLION in spending available for research. We could have a bright shining clean future within 10 years, but rich a******s will make more if the rest of us suffer.

I'm also on the fence about this. I have always believed that people have the right to live their lives as they choose, as long as what they do doesn't affect the lives of people around them in a negative way. The transgirls/women in sports issue is a tough one. On the one hand, I agree that all people should have the right to compete in sports, but on the other hand, I can certainly understand how some women would feel that a man who became a woman might have some unfair advantages. And while there has been at least one study that says this isn't true, I think more research is needed in this area. Is it possible that transgirls/women have some advantages over cisgendered girls/women? I think it depends on the sport.

I'm not a trans person, and I don't know a lot about this, but I do know that once someone starts taking hormones, their body physically changes.

Im generally pro trans rights but I think it’s ok to separate sports by biological gender. We separate them by age already, and I’ve never heard anyone argue against that. My example I use is if a 12 foot tall alien came down and wanted to play basketball it would probably ruin the sport. Yes shaq had a size advantage but it’s not like the lakers won every game by 100 points. The goal should be fair competition and unfortunately biological s*x can create a large enough advantage in some situations that I just don’t personally want to see it the same way I don’t want to see shaq post up a 12 year old.

Despite your best attempts, sometimes the things will still hit the fan. If this happens and you find your reputation rapidly heading for the drain, the experts advise that you do damage control as fast as possible. Here's what Reputation911 suggests you do when things go south...
First, do some research to figure out the extent of the damage so you know what you're dealing with. "If a post leads to unexpected backlash, the first step is to assess whether removing it is the best course of action. Deleting a post doesn’t erase screenshots, but it can help de-escalate the situation," says DiAntonio.
"If the reaction is minor, it may be best to let it pass. However, if the post has gone viral, addressing it head-on, through an apology or clarification, may be necessary. The key is to avoid defensive responses that fuel further criticism. Seeking professional reputation management guidance can also help in cases where significant damage control is needed."

The agency advises that if you are at fault for the situation, you need to make amends. This means issuing a statement apologizing for any wrongdoings that have affected customers, stakeholders, and others.
But the experts say simply issuing an apology is not enough. You need to create a long-term recovery plan. If you just say that you will do better, people won’t trust you. Instead, you have to show them that you are doing better, warns Reputation911.
The company says the next step is to proactively communicate any changes you have made to address the issues with your audience. And then to make it a priority to follow through on any commitments you have made. Consistency helps to rebuild trust with your audience, adds the team. But be patient because the recovery process doesn’t happen overnight, and can often take a long time.

My guess: His Russian buddies have been talking it up about how it will make him "strong" because his main motivation in life is to be seen as "strong" (because he's actually weak). The Russians have talked it up, Trump has soaked it up, and the Russians know it will be bad for the US and all its allies. Trump probably actually believes in his pea brain that it's somehow a good idea. Governor Trump is a victim of propaganda and then he's turned his victimhood around and is now the a****r.

According to him. Trump -and the US and NATO- are going to get absolutely screwed beyond recognition just because Trump thinks he can make clever deals with Putin, who is a whole different league of ruthless.

He might become one while vice president under president musk, though. Also...musk is the richest man because he says so, those with real wealth don't brag about it. Those are the folks we should be afraid of. They are the ones behind the scenes who are pushing the real agendas and running the world.

If I need more specialized care, I get referred to a hospital, might have to wait a couple of months, but that visit costs around 30 dollars too, when I get there.

Seriously, what were they expecting? That a convicted felon (and his mentally unstable sidekick) would miraculously start caring about the poor and sick, and then wave some magic wand to fix their problems? People, THINK before you vote! That's how you won't have to regret afterwards.

Like all corrupt leaders, he has sought out and attempted to exploit a loophole in the rules to bypass any challenges to his desires. Executive orders were never meant to be used like this and have been severely damaged in their effectiveness as a result.

17000 claimed by Hamas, UN has said its all unverified. But Hamas also considers anyone under 20 as a child for death purposes, including armed combatants (as Hamas officially recruits as young as 15 by their own admission) so a 19 year old with a AK is a "child death". However we can confirm 17,500 of the dead, are confirmed combatants, and the UN has only been able to verify 8,000 total civilian deaths so far, and if this is like the 2014 war and 2008 war numbers, take Hamas's total, reduce by 30%, then half the number of women and children dead and replace those numbers with men of combat age, and that Israel's claimed Combatant death numbers are accurate within 3%, and you get the real total. Because the last few wars, the numbers ended up being the same adjustment once everything got verified after. Hamas started a war, Israel is replying no different than any other country would, in fact more restrained with the lowest civilian to military death ratio ever recorded

If you are into partners so young they might be children, it is absolutely on you to make sure they can legally give consent. Just like is a/he too drunk to consent? Just stay the h**l away from that line and don't have s*x with someone who might not be able to consent. It's not hard.

Yay more victim blaming, because saying 'she shouldn't have dressed like that,' and 'she shouldn't have gotten so intoxicated,' wasn't enough. We now have; 'she shouldn't be at the club when she's underage,' as though no boys sneak into clubs, what is their punishment for such abhorrent behavior?

Dudes need to seriously start ID'ing some of these ladies. Edit: Actually, that won't help if she presents a fake ID. Bottom line, girls who do this do deserve some of the blame if they present themselves as older than they really are and lie about their age. But men ultimately need to do what they can to try verify the ages of girls they suspect may be lying. It's not always so easy to tell

Not an excuse but, my wife and I were sitting in the reception area of a curry house and an attractive young woman came in, who I would estimate to be in her early twenties. She and a couple of friends, similar age, ordered a drink. Owner stepped forward and said, "You're in my sons class at school, we are not serving you". Spoke to him afterwards, his son was fourteen! Wife and I were gobsmacked.
