40 Times People Were Unbelievably Stupid, As Shared By This Online Group
InterviewIt can get weird and dangerous out there, in the vast wilds of the internet. You’d best take a few Pandas with you for safety!
The internet and social media aren’t inherently good or evil: they’re tools that we use however we want to and they double as mirrors of us as a society. Suddenly, online anonymity can seem both a blessing and a curse while the freedom of expression bumps into some serious trouble where fake news is concerned.
So it’s no wonder that from the moment that you log on in the morning and the second you log out at night that your experience is likely to be a mixed bag of good, bad, and straight-up ugly posts. Those last two categories? That’s where the r/insanepeoplefacebook subreddit shines the brightest.
A community of nearly 2.1 million members, ‘Insane People Facebook’ collects (yup, you guessed it!) the most ‘insane’ posts on Facebook and beyond. We’ve collected some of the best of the worst of social media to share with you today, dear Readers, so grab yourself a bucket full of popcorn because the ride’s going to be wild.
Bored Panda reached out to the r/insanepeoplefacebook moderator team to learn more about the community from the perspective of those who actually manage the day-to-day. Two members of the team, both with four years of experience, were kind enough to open up about the subreddit. One of the moderators told me that the subreddit "was meant to be a collection of insane submissions to social media." Meanwhile, the second moderator, Merari01, said that the subreddit is fun and "it's great to see how successful it has become over the years."
Read on for our full interview with the two moderators and how the 2016 US presidential election changed the online group.

Please be kind to food service workers. There are a lot of shortages, including a massive shortage of patience from customers. And for the love of whatever you find sacred, remember that you are one of dozens if not hundreds of people they will have to deal with in a day. Imagine dealing with whatever level of anger you're bringing in multiplied by that many people, then decide if you could handle that. If not, show a little extra compassion.

They Found The Smoking Gun
Lauren Bobert was a (failed)actress. You can find her head shots on many actor sites. And it turns out that all of the "concerned parents" that Faux has on are paid actors as well. And don't forget all the actors Donald Trump hired to stand at the bottom of the escalator when he announced he was running for president.

People Actually Think This, Ridiculous
Just in case anyone is reading this thinking 'well, they've got a point', no. I live in a country where the ambulance is free and people are generally very protective of the service and its availability to the critically ill. Attempted abuse of the service is seen in a really bad light.
Bruh Bruh Man Come On Now
As someone who has OCD, ADHD, Major depression and is on the autism spectrum, I take offence to posts like this. As if someone with my disabilities can't have a full life.

People like this are the reason the pandemic won't end anytime soon.
Note: Not all religious people are idiots. Most of us think for ourselves and such. But the loud minority gets all the attention, giving us a bad reputation.
With any group, it's the extremists who get the publicity.
