Those who say nothing is infinite clearly haven't considered human ignorance. Luckily, the subreddit r/facepalm has plenty of examples to convince them.

This online community (which also calls itself the 'Gallery of Inexplicable Stupidity') unites over 6.4 million members, and they're constantly sharing the dumbest statements and actions they've witnessed both online and in real life.

So continue scrolling to dive into delusion, and if you want to explore it more when you're done, check out our previous publication on the same subreddit.

    So often miserable people want others to be miserable like them. The gun toting gun lobbyists of the US will never see that if the public don’t have guns they can’t shoot each other, themselves or family members, even by accident.

    If, however, these pictures get to you now and make you want to click away, I'll argue to go even further, turn off your browser, put away your phone, and disconnect. After all, it's the weekend.

    Sure, taking a walk outside without scrolling might seem dull. But you might be surprised where you can end up if you allow your mind to roam free. "Boredom is a symptom, not a condition. In other words, no one is born bored. It arises due to certain conditions," Manhattan-based psychotherapist, speaker, and author Sean Grover told Bored Panda.

    "Underneath boredom is always frustration. When frustration is met with passivity, boredom is a natural outcome," Grover, who has 25 years of experience working with patients in group therapy in clinics, schools, and health centers, said.

    The psychotherapist said that boredom is often close friends with feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. And the best way to cure it is a counterintuitive one—surrender.

    "Boredom can trigger enormous creativity when we tune in to the underlying frustration and come up with creative solutions," Grover highlighted. "Many inventions came out of tackling boredom and resolving it."

    To illustrate this point, the psychotherapist provided a real-life example. "I work in therapy with a young man who was working from home during the pandemic. He became incredibly bored with his daily life. Through exploring his feelings in therapy, he decided to start playing the piano again."

    "He began practicing, and later joined a jazz quartet."

    "Now it is one of the most rewarding things in his life. He plays in clubs throughout Manhattan and invites his friends."

    I'm sorry I have to admit when my friends were discussing a school shooting, I asked which one. Now when I hear shooting I just ask was it USA. If yes then it's another day, outside I'm interested a little more. It's a bad thing to say, but you have shootings literally every week in schools and I cannot keep up. My country had one shooting, one bullet was shot from hunting rifle. In the last 32years. How? And we also have teenage prisoners, and vandals, and murders but nothing compared to USA. Most of our killings are drinking gone wild and one dies. It's not perfect but guns are not allowed and police cannot shoot the criminal in the back of the body, cannot do fatal shootings. Why do you allow this? Also how come you allow insurance companies decide who gets to live, if you expect doctors to act under oath they gave. You literally make the doctors profession invalid when giving treatment decision to nonmedical persons in stuffy office looking to hit commission

    As Grover pointed out, that whole thrilling journey started from unpacking boredom and coming up with a creative solution. Something that has become increasingly rare in our loud world.

    With stimulation right at our fingertips, our tolerance for being bored has greatly diminished.

    In fact, two-thirds of American adults routinely look at their phones even when they're not making a sound.

    In one study, published in the Academy of Management Discoveries, researchers lulled a group into boredom by instructing them to sort beans by color while they gave another group a far more interesting craft to do. Afterward, each group was directed to come up with good excuses for tardiness. The bored group bested their counterparts on both the number and creativity of ideas, as evaluated by objective outside judges.

    Another study concluded that boredom motivates people to seek out novelty. Our minds simply wander when we're bored, and we think of new things to try.

    The goal, according to Grover, is to dig into the boredom and ask ourselves what is the message it's sending us. "Are you creatively stagnant? Are you lonely? Does your body need exercise? Are you engaged in enough stimulating activities? Are you trying new things?" the psychotherapist said there can be many.

    So much for the NRA slogan "The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is for a good society preventing him from getting the gun in the first place.

    What got me most was a video that showed police hanging out in the hall, with the sound muted... of the children's screams. The cops heard it though.

    What? Does Texas now have a rule that officers can only be hired if their IQ is less than 80? And they are giving these yokels the guns?

    My husband is a former police officer.... when he heard about it on the news he was shocked and ashamed... He never waisted any time on getting the job done, even if that meant his own life could be in danger. "It's your job, so you better do it!" He's been in many dangerous situations because of that but also because of that, many other people weren't any longer.

    Yes! So in their fear to do their work and save those kids, they let the kids get shot and killed, or play dead in the blood of their friends. Every last one of those cops on the scene, needs to be fired and the parents need to sue the crud out of the police department. All cops know that possibly being shot, is part of their job! What about all that bullet proof equipment and shields???!!! They didn't think to use it!? That is a p**s poor police department. EVERYONE NEEDS FIRING AND THE MAYOR NEEDS TO FIND NEW MEN FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THERE!!!

    Dude that's not even what happened. The police entered the school, they wanted to do something. Some officers even risked their lives to get some of the kids out. It was Pete Arredondo that prevented them from doing anything further. They were literally following orders

    They did not risk their lives, they broke windows of other classrooms to get those kids out not the room the gunman was in. Following orders excuse doesn't fly, Pete tried to order border control to not go in but they were like f**k off and did it anyway. The hallway video shows the officers fully armed with vests and shields just standing there, one was just even casually sanitizing his hands, how is standing in a hallway for 77 mins causally talking, sanitizing hands and not even checking if the door was locked risking their lives? They had ONE cop defy orders to because his wife was bleeding out from being shot, they could have said f**k the orders like that cop and border patrol did but they didn't because they were cowards there is no excuse for their inaction. Cops all over the country who have been involved in mass shootings have said themselves they should have took action, that there was NO excuse for not doing it

    Cannot judge without having been present at this specific incident, but the idea that a policeman/soldier is obligated to grab a bullet in order to be worth his salary is wrong for so many reasons. They will protect you/fight for you but protect themselves too. Training/equipping is good, but not a guarantee of safety, neither is acting like a movie hero. Saving all the kids but killing all the police would still not be a happy ending. Ultimately, if dying was a regular part of the job it should reflect on the salary. Better yet, make everyone a cop/trooper on a life-threatening moment and see their reaction.

    I think that whoever made that comparison misunderstood the point. Rich people don't wear brands with visible logo, that's true. Wearing a full-matching Adidas suit makes you look cheap, that's true. But the clothes rich people wear are extremely expensive, for they are tailored, fitting, and made with the best material.

    I think out of all of these and most posts like this lately this made me pretty sad. Education is so important and essential and for this country to supposedly be the Greatest in the world makes it worse and makes me embarrassed to live here half of the time. Pay Teachers the wage's they deserve, fund school programs, give free lunches. Teachers are treated like c**p enough as it is not only by some students but mostly the parents. All they did was want to help educate these kid's and help them and they are not being paid enough and are treated horribly. So sad man
