30 Hilarious Screenshots Of Overconfident People Completely Missing The Joke (New Pics)
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.

Good thing she wrote it in all caps so we know how seriously she considers this matter lmao

"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.

Cats Are So Dense
Cats aren't capable of complex thoughts like that. See what I did there?

A 5kg cat actually weighs about 80kg at night if I'm any judge of the one that sleeps on my bed...
Why are you sleeping on the cat's bed?

Cat Gravity. They absorb sunlight and convert it to a localized gravity field. That's why the spend so much time in the sunlight and it's so hard to move them when they are lying on your lap.
When they walk on your delicate areas in the middle of the night it's like hundreds of pounds per square inch...
We are gods. We can break anything. It's funny to see the faces our soft can-opener makes.
In my experience, cats are the single most heavy object in the universe.
cats are all asgardians, is the only conclusion i can make from these photos
The one with the awning was used as a meme for "this is a polymorphed dragon pretending to be a cat."
this is what happens when u have to many deepfriend sardines
Cats are actually a projection of hyper intelligent beings into this dimension (not white mice).
The one just sleeping on the broken glass looks like my kitty!!

"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.

Actually, a lot of people suffer from iron (not irony) deficiency and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t affect their ability to understand jokes. /s

A hint to other Jokesters - "subtlety" in your witticism is a guarantee that 87% of readers will miss it entirely. Yes, I have hard data. Just be prepared for that.
Tbh, the former seems to be the latter except they think that they're smart and calling someone else's stupidity out, while doing so.

I wonder how many of the people not catching the jokes in these are on the spectrum. All of us could stand to be a bit kinder and forgiving toward those we don't know.
No, I don't think they're all disabilities. And also just a note: Since me and my cousin are on different parts of the spectrum, and say these types of jokes regularly, it's probably not just because they could have some mental condition. It's more likely that these people do not understand the joke.

these were great! sometimes it's hard to believe people can just not get it; how can you not have a sense of humor?
Hilariously, these examples are what so many BP entries end up being like, with way too many people explaining the obvious and/or completely missing the joke.
