40 Of The Absolute Dumbest Things People Posted Online And Got Shamed For On This Group (New Pics)
Interview
The power of screenshots should have taught us a lesson about thinking twice when posting something. Whether it's a questionable statement or potentially regretful photo, we always have time for a second of reflection before pressing ‘share.’
Some people, however, are clearly oblivious to the fact or don’t see it to be such a big deal. The result is hilariously dumb posts combined with a healthy dose of absurdity, and sometimes, trolling.
Below we wrapped up a solid collection of the funniest and most questionable things people got caught (shamelessly) sharing online.

Most of us, from time to time, are guilty of oversharing things on social media. From personal details to work rants and live location, it seems like we sometimes lack a filter of what and what not to share. And while we may indeed delete the posts and photos we regret posting, not everything can be reversed.
In fact, sharing too many private details about your life can be really dangerous and we reached out to Daniel Markuson, the cybersecurity expert at NordVPN, who shared some very useful insight about it.
“From your social media accounts, especially Facebook, hackers can gain information about you and use social engineering attacks such as phishing, whaling, baiting, or pretexting to hack you,” Daniel told us.
Moreover, he said that they can use your information to impersonate you or even steal your identity. “Oversharing on social media makes the process of gathering information about the targeted person easier. And by sharing information about their family, users also put their loved ones in danger,” he explained.
“Although it’s fun to post vacation photos and let everyone know you’re having a cocktail on a sunny beach or skiing on a high mountain,” Daniel said, “it sends a clear signal to burglars that your home is empty.” The cybersecurity expert argues that those who really need to share their photos should at least wait till they are back home, and their home is not empty anymore.
Bless her heart. I am going to give her benefit of doubt she didnt get enough sleep night before or they changed title/post after she commented. Hope she figured it out.
Mrs Jenkins goes to see a lawyer. "What's the issue, Mrs Jenkins?" he asks. "I want to divorce my husband." "OK then, we need some grounds for divorce," says the lawyer. "Does your husband fail to provide for the household?" "No, to be fair, he's always been good at that," she says. "What about cruelty?" asks the lawyer, "has he ever struck you?" "Christ no, I'd beat the s*it out of him." The lawyer has a think. "Ah, what about infidelity? Has he ever been unfaithful to you?" Mrs Jenkins grins. "I think we've got him there!" she says. "I know for a fact my last baby wasn't his!" - Puckoon, Spike Milligan
We also wondered if we can actually post photos of friends without asking them. Daniel said that posting a photo of another person without their permission is a no go because “it breaches their right to privacy.” “Some people like to keep their life away from the internet and they should be allowed to do so,” he said.
Most people nowadays have a very active social media presence. But not many of us consider what kind of information about ourselves we give out to social media platforms and what they do with it.
“Data like your email address, name, day of birth, likes, or even the place you live is valuable for social media platforms. Once you willingly give away data by agreeing to a platform’s terms and conditions, it belongs to them,” Daniel said.
Looks a pregnant woman: "Can someone explain to me how they got the baby through the small hole?"
I'm terrible at math, so I originally got the same answer until I was compelled to check the calculator. I'm not proud of that.
Don't be too hard on yourself. Math isn't everyone's thing, and if you don't have to work with mathematical order of operations all the time, this is an easy one to forget.

I like Pandas Eat Dumplings with Mustard and Apples with Spice. The "with" reminds one to do those parts of the equation at the same time (division & multiplication in the order they appear, and addition & subtraction in the order they appear).

BODMAS precedence says 10, left-to-right precedence (as in Smalltalk) says 16. So how the hell did 25% of respondents get 13?
They were just trying to choose the closest option

Ok, fine, I can see how someone might think the answer is 16, but 13...? How?
I was confused at first but then again I learned to use () in math and those are missing here
I can't quite know what you're saying here. 2(4) would be multiplication, but not brackets. Brackets would be (2+2). You would get two different answers out of that.
Load More Replies... D average student in HS, I got 16. Thanks to the people who commented, I now remember PEDMAS or BODMAS. I also remember I HATE math
Order of operations! I can't believe I still know this. Guess my teacher was right. I did need to know this. After 25 years. Lol
Just so I could know someone else's math was wrong on bored panda 25 years later. Glad we spent weeks of my life on that. Lol. (Just kidding I use a lot of it but it is funny how, "we wouldn't always have a calculator on hand.")

I have a kid. They definitely still teach it.

This "new math" is strange, but easy to do if you follow the rules. In the old days, it would be 16. (2+2=4, 4x4=16)
I was taught it as BIMDAS here Brackets, Indices, multiplication, division, addition then subtraction. What does PEMDAS stand for? I'm interested to know the difference
Who decided what order you do the operations in, anyway, and why that order? Ok, when you have an equation like this, you do the multiplication first, then the addition. But why??
Been WAY too long since I've done math equations. Decades with no reason to use it, the knowledge was buried a little deep. I thought it was 16 too.
You call the law PEMDAS, right? We just say „Punkt vor Strich“. Translation: dot before line. We write multiply and divide as dots. Multiply is • and divide is :
PEMDAS, people. Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication and division, addition and subtraction.
Before I saw the pictures underneath, I said, "Well, dang. I it was 1thought0." When I did notice the pictures, I cackled!
Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally. That's how I was taught to remember the order of operations.
I always wonder if an alien civilization uses different order of operation rules than we do. "math is universal" would have a different meaning.
For those who don’t know, in math there is a specific order, PEMDAS. Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.
Honestly this one got me too I wasn't thinking of the PEMDAS method at all. I'm an artist, I don't do math lol
Actually, the example ((2+2X4) is badly presented. It could be (2+2) X 4 or 2+(2X4). Bad question to begin with.
Without parenthesis, I can't figure it out. Is it the sum of 2 plus 2 multiplied by 4 or is 2 added to 2 times 4?
Makes it even worse because then BOTH parties here are dumb. The one how wrote the question AND those who answered. Oh, and your suggestion is still incorrect: the brackets around (x4) do nothing because there's just one operand. Technically you can omit the multiply operator (ab is equivalent to a x b, which is the same as a∙b which is used instead of 'x' so it's not confused with a variable x or a matrix multiplication), so (x4) is the same as (4), the same as 4.

Multiplication and division always comes before addition and subtraction

The good news is that there are a couple of things people can do to be more private on social media. First tip from Daniel is to not overshare and only provide the necessary information. “You don’t always need to provide your address or date of birth to create accounts.”
and everyone knows that the stuff there is made by the grocery fairy
The second tip is to “use strong passwords, don’t reuse them, and keep them safe in a password manager, like NordPass.”
Daniel’s advice is to make sure you don’t use social media on public devices. “But if you do, always remember to log out when you’re done.”
Another useful and simple trick is to disable geolocation data on your apps. Moreover, make sure you never trust suspicious links, even if you get them from your friends. And last but not least is to set up 2-factor authorization where possible.
Who's going to break the news about dolphins to them? Bagsy not me! 🤔
Words fail me often enough. Then a week later I suddenly fall awake at 4 A.M. with that word in my head. To be forgotten again before breakfast.
That’s technically true. He doesn’t like eating animals because he helps them! That makes sense.

Have I been on bored panda to long? I've seen every last one of these.
Always ask sincere follow-up questions! Fine, let’s try to reschedule the eclipse, who should we call? And where do you think the supermarkets get the produce they sell? It’s very interesting, this flat earth: how do we stop the sea water from sloshing over the sides?
I hate the anti-vaxxers. The research was proved wrong, and even if it wasn’t, they’d rather have their kids die than be autistic, like me? It hurts.
I would enjoy it more if they left in the names and the photos of the people.
I feel like I've just bashed my had against the kitchen counter... 40 times... 🤦
Argh!! Head, head!! Now I have to walk away in shame! 😔

a few years back someone posted on Fakebook that "There's 5 Fridays in October this year, this is called moneybags and only happens once every 897 years blah, blah, blah" Of course I pointed out that there are in fact only 14 calendars ensuring that every date will repeat itself every 14 years. And certain things such as 5 Fridays in October, happens sometimes more than once in that 14 year span. I then listed every October with 5 Fridays for the next 100 years. They removed their post.
whenever I read s**t like this I immediately think the phrase "Brawndo. It's got electrolytes."
