Nobody is exempt from having a brain fart. People are far from perfect. And the subreddit 'Woooosh' is an excellent example of this.

This online community with 1.1 million members shares pictures of folks missing the joke so badly that they sort of became one with the bit, adding to the hilarity of the moment.

Sometimes our gears turn slower than others fire their wit. But in the end, it's all part of the fun.

Normally, we recognize that we've messed up only after it's a bit too late. But according to studies, brain farts are detectable by head scans up to 30 seconds before the occurrence of the mistake.

So why do our brains betray us in such awkward, embarrassing ways? Seth Slater, M.F.A., who's a former dolphin trainer for the U.S. Navy, thinks it is because our routines are easy to disrupt.

Also pretty ignorant, the conclusion said he has at least two bones, which is 100% correct, with suggestion for the existence of a third one, which is also 100% true, and no one does it say they limit the possibility of having more bones, which would also be proven correct. That idiot didn't just understand a joke, they clearly showed they have no idea gow scientific research works. Because yes, the above comment was a joke, but also a very proper example of how to develop a hypothesis and conduct a simple research, while coming to a true conclusion.

Alternative hypothesis: my bones are unbreakable. After interpretating the data, the conclusion is I have at least two breakable bones.

I used to think (not seriously, but still on some level) that I was unbreakable. I've been in a lot of accidents but nothing broken. In the last two years I've broken my leg twice, three individual breaks, from such dangerous activities as crossing a lawn and walking home from work in winter.

So far all of the entries have been terrific jokes. How tightly are these nimrods wound that they can’t take a joke? I imagine that when someone says “Knock, knock” to them, they respond with “You don’t SAY it; you rap your knuckles on a door. If you had any friends, you’d know this.”

You have AT LEAST 206 bones in your body. Maybe he'd know that if he had a proper education.

You don't actually know how many bones you have unless you've had a chest x ray. People can have 2 or 4 floating ribs (1 pair or 2 pairs). This guy in the response is not just a jerk, he's not even automatically right either

Plus it depends on the age of the person because we have more bones when we are born, which is about 300, until they fuse together. Learned that cool tid bit in my anatomy and pathophysiology classes in college.

Guy doesn't understand what "proof" means. The hypothesis was he didn't have any bones, the datas showed at least 2 were broken thus he knows he had at least 2 bones

"Context shifts – really just simple changes in circumstances – can throw the best of us for a loop," Slater wrote.

"We are often especially prone to the disruptive influence of a context shift when we are attempting to perform a chained behavior – one in which completion of each individual behavioral link becomes the cue to perform the next behavior in the series."

When our behaviors are well established, they often fall into well-worn neural grooves.

Familiarity signals to the brain it can downshift as an energy-saving measure, which makes us susceptible to glitches born of inattentiveness.

However, Slater reassured us that we humans are not alone in fouling things up when a brain fart lets fly.

"In teaching tasks to animals in my former career as a dolphin trainer, I regularly witnessed the behavioral backstepping that is a normal and predictable part of any learning process. No one learns overnight, dolphins included," he said.

"But even fully trained dolphins who had become experts at performing all sorts of tasks occasionally experienced mental glitches. Interestingly, dolphins react to such moments with as much surprise as we humans do to ours."

Slater explained that when making a misstep during a series of routine behaviors, dolphins often pause mid-task, clearly aware they’ve done something odd.

Some of them even whistle or squeak in acknowledgment of the awkward moment! Others might slap a pectoral fin against the surface of the water in mild frustration. And a great many of them slip beneath the waterline to expel a cloud of air from their blowhole in what looks, truly, like a world-class brain fart of epic proportions.
