They say not to count your chickens before they hatch. ‘Cause by doing so, you raise the chances for an instant loss of karma, dignity, and self-confidence, like, triple.
If you've ever been near the finish line raising your arms high in the sky, only to feel a cold wave of wind passing through while you enjoy the moment of not-earned victory, you need no further explanation. And if you are one of the lucky ones who hasn’t had their fair share of premature celebration-turned nightmare, please stay that way and keep on scrolling to see what not to do to become one of many.
Thanks to the subreddit r/Prematurecelebration, we now have the full-on archive of cringey glory that is a product of people celebrating just a microscopic little bit too early. So you'd better get ready to crack up big time.

Random Selection
To find out more about the community behind the r/Prematurecelebration subreddit, Bored Panda reached out to one of its moderators, u/N8theGr8, who was happy to share some insights.
The mod told us that the subreddit was created by u/potato88, who’s now a suspended user, back in 2013. Some time ago, though, the subreddit had no moderators, so the admins gave it to the current mod team, u/N8theGr8 said.
But since the subreddit revolves around a “kind of niche topic,” it’s not as active as it could be. “But we have half a million subscribers and it stays relatively active,” they added. Right now, the subreddit has 525k members in total and their community is still growing.

Good Idea To Straight Up Tell Everyone That You're Scamming A Company
When asked about the whole concept of premature celebration that the subreddit as all about, the moderator explained that it “just means celebrating some kind of win or victory before you really should.”
“Like a guy who runs a race and then slows down right at the end to do a victory jump and throw his arms in the air, only to be passed by the 2nd-place guy who then wins the race. Or 'Dewey Defeats Truman' newspaper held up by President Truman.”

Well, at least they can now rememeber the original date they were supposed to marry.
The redditor u/N8theGr8 continued: “When you're so close to the end that victory looks assured is when a lot of people let their guard down, and don't have the situational awareness to realize that someone else is trying to win too. It's fine to celebrate early, but make sure you're in a safe position to do so.”

"Everything Was Better In The 90's"
Jack Candy 4 years ago
In their stupid fear of communism the USA created a much more dangerous enemy. You can negotiate with political 'enemies', but you cannot negotiate with religious fascists and madmen. Very similar to Cuba - in the beginning Castro only wanted to get rid of the corrupt US-backed mafia regime. Same with Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh and his people only wanted to be free, and when the USA were hostile, the USSR and China took the chance. Afghanistan? The USA supported everyone fighting against the USSR, but during this time afghan women had the same rights as men, children were sent to school.

Read The Comments
But according to the moderator, there’s a small difference between an early celebration and a premature celebration. And that is the upsetting feeling that comes in the end.
“There's an element of schadenfreude involved. Also, it kinda sounds like 'premature ejaculation,' which I bet was a pun the creator intentionally set up,” they explained about the title.
The redditor’s favorite post is this one, because they said: “I think it really embodies celebrating before you should (even though I voted for her).”

I'm not into sports at all but I got the sports ones and still find them funny. Most of these are self explanatory, for example its obvious "the fourth" meant the game was still going. I don't need to follow American football to figure that out. As for the gaming ones, lots of people provided context to them. Just because you don't like sports and games doesn't mean the compilation was bad.
