50 Pictures And Posts That Made It To The Online “Gallery Of Inexplicable Stupidity” (New Pics)
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.

“Muh Guns!!!”
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.

A home, enough food and access to a decent education and free healthcare. This is possible for everyone but the rich ones really want to keep the plebs in their place.

Do You Consider This A Human Being?
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."
I Know Right
That's The Point Of The Book
They Are Turning The Fricking Lions Gay
"Homosexual" behaviour is far more widespread than people (largely detached from and ignorant of the natural world) know. Which makes claims of such activity as "unnatural" rather pitiful if not hilarious.
Immigrant Prisoners Are Lease To Be Slaves
Unfortunately true. Remember the chain gangs? One can only hope that this modern version at least involves some degree of choice by the convict and some recompense, but it's a very slippery slope.
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."
Which One Of The Many Mass Shootings Are We Talking About?
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
People Are Total Morons
Yeah, Imagine That
Shocking - a politician exposed a s a hypocrite! Australians have a joke: Q How do you know a politician is lying? A His lips are moving.
Blindly Playing Yourself
Yet anouther person who can't tell the difference between Communism and Socialism... >sigh<
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.

You had a minute and a half of commercial to book it. You had to stand as close to your destination as possible while still being able to see the tv, and then sprint. The absolute joy of getting back in time is a feeling I will never be able to replicate.
This Is Getting Really Sad Now
As a secondary school teacher for 25 years, if you worked out the hourly rate for teachers mathematically, we would be on less than 16 dollars per hour.
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.
The It Crowed
Been there, done that. 2 hrs to switch on a power outlet for an IBM 3274 control unit (1980s), which i had been assured 'yes, OF COURSE we checked that!.'
What’s The Problem?
We Did Everything But
How Is This Possible
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.

But He Needed That Medication
"I encourage people to explore boredom in therapy and consider it a message from their own subconscious," Grover said. "The message is often that they want to lead a more satisfying life."
"Then, pursue new passions with gusto!"

You know, I'd agree but then they'd have a better chance of recruiting more people like them. We don't need more people like PETA.

Peta has so much sh!t against them regarding cruelty to animals, how can they even pretend to be the good guys?
Fully in support of ethical treatment of all living things BUT do not support dumb ineffectual stunts. There are better avenues for all that imagination and energy.
It was effective though , they no longer charge extra for oat milk!!!!!

I want to not have prejudices, I really do. But everytime I read something about PETA, the members show that they're morons.
When PeTA started up, they were a movement that could be respected. They were actually trying to better the treatment we put animals through. They, unfortunately, have devolved to little more than a borderline domestic terrorisit organisation...they think that showing grade school kids films that would give adults nightmares is "educational." Stupid part is that every single instance they show has been proven to be up to 3 decades old. Add in the fact that up to 85% of all animals "rescued" are put down so they don't have to spend money to care for them...

"Like I care that the acetone will peel your skin like a banana. We'll also be charging you the $500 to resurface the countertop, and $2000 to replace the glass. Hope you don't mind the Criminal Trespass and vandalism charges - another 2-3 grand in fines, along with the lifetime ban from *all* properties in the Country."
Acetone won't peel your skin. Solvent exposure is definitely something you want to minimize though.

No, superglue is is 100% ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate - basically a synthetic oil based plastic byproduct.

PeTA is making a disservice to *humans*. If they were anymore two-faced, I'd call them professional politicians.

Like those extinction rebelion individuals, who blocked the road in front of an ambulance rushing to hospital with all signals on. Like those guys, who glued to the main road during the morning traffic. Like those guys who blocked buses,because buses make so much polution. Sure. But: people would be on your side if you won't behave like an idiot. No one would appreciate your attempt to block the ambulance. You'll only p..s off the people who are only trying to get to work, who will normally be on your side, but they have to feed their families. And yeah, buses cause pollution, but you can fit about 50+ people in 1 bus, instead of them going in 50 different cars. They don't think their actions through first.
PETA one of the most hypocritical organisations on the planet ..the E in PETA should stand for Euthanasia
Plot twist: these people are sponsored by the Superglue company! 😁
But this worked! They no longer charge extra for almond, coconut or oat milk!!! IT WORKED!!!!
seeing evidently middle class narcissistic rich kids pulling stunts like this makes me laugh so hard every time. baby, we'll be on the platform for the underground rail w drinks brawling on one side, a line of homeless guys shaking tins from behind you, a making out couple taking up half the space - and that's just a regular old tuesday work commute. nobody flinches, cares or looks. rival wannabe gangs meet in fast food joints to fight their s**t out and the rest of us scran up our cheeseburgers and enjoy the entertainment. people will literally order their s**t and collect it from around you without a single glance. so embarrassing
I think it's hilarious. Lol. Being super glued to anything sucks. But for real... why do I have to pay extra for oat milk? I don't drink Starbucks cause I'm poor. But on occasion I do.... lol. I don't wanna pay extra for oatmilk.
Yet one of your famous spokes person eats all kind of meat. Tommy lee?
Remember the girl who used superglue in her hair? Those who don't learn from the past are damned and doomed to repeat it.
Y'all are anti-capitalist until... what? Someone does something you think is silly or wrong.
Not sure they are aware that vegan milk is a lot more expensive? The only thing that could financiaally make sense eould be to make all drinks with milk more expensive so it would even out. Which would not do mucj for the actovists, price-wise, but nobody will notice.
I hope they have enough money for what Starbucks charges for drinks and sandwiches.
PETA sucks. Have read about them kidnapping and euthanizing family pets…
I ran a place which was strictly a coffee shop in the morning and a full service restaurant from 11:00 a.m. on. If someone did this there, I'd let them stand there for hours.
Pretty sure super glue directly on your skin will cause chemical damage. Way to protest. 🙄
Just pour acetone on them. Oh, it burns but it will release them.
I remember a PETA bus on the campus.of the college I went to, with depictions of animald in similar situations to animals...and human cultural representations they were misrepresenting...and this woman from one of the misrepresented cultures giving them a very big piece of her mind at how wrong they were, and how little they knew, of her culture. People applauded.
"It's hurting you more than it's hurting me " (Primary school teacher voice)
I’m all for the ethical treatment of animals, but if PETA was a person, they would be like a person who did way too many drugs at a young age, significantly stunted their brain development, and then continued to use the same drugs on a daily basis and say whatever came to their mind like it was a good idea.
I would ask two cup but only one of them contains liquid.. and then i begin to pour the liquid from one to the another... and back.. while i speak about waterfalls and other liqud stuff... With a great smile... And after they p**s themselfes i call for the police because they doing they thing in public... :D
If it doesn't come from tiddies, it's juice. Nut juice. You're drinking nut juice.
Maybe they should look at what growing almonds does to the local environment
Oh they are going to be starving to death as I call nobody and leave them glued there forever
Come on people, what happens in the dairy industry is truly horrible! Please realise that!
Generally speaking not anymore. Only in certain areas, there the glue needs to be removable without material damage for example, it is made out of animal bones.

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 prefer the funny posts i come onto here because there is not much politics i do not want to be brought down by the nutjobs that run my country
The teaser was good, but seeing political bs in the first two spots was dispointing.
Yep. The question about whether easy access to guns is good or bad for the country, or makes us safer or less safe, is purely political. 🙄

Let the idiots keep their gun - remove bullets. Replace with rubber bullets - rubber bullets still cause damage, still hurt like f**k, still act as a weapon and way to protect yourself from the boogie man.
They can still kill. There were deaths in Northern Ireland from rubber bullets.
