We’re all guilty of having done something dumb in the past. Things that sometimes keep us awake at night or make us cringe in the middle of the workday. Remember that idiotic thing that you did way back in middle school that made everyone laugh at you? Yeah, let’s spend the next four hours obsessing over it and imagining how things couldn’t have gone worse and how everyone’s probably still laughing at you. However, getting some perspective can set us free.

That’s where the r/TerminallyStupid subreddit, an online community with just over 121k members, comes in. The group documents the times when “terminally stupid” people were “dumb in a way that threatens their safety or someone else’s.” And the things they post are most likely miles worse than anything we’ve ever done.

We’re featuring some of their best pics, so grab yourself some popcorn and get ready to dive deep into the abyss that’s known as human stupidity. We hear that, much like the universe, it’s thought to be infinite.

Still, the fact that someone is writing in a foreign language is no reason to alert security. This was dumb on so many levels...

    Yes, this was in the US. No, this thinking isn't exclusively American. That's the *really* sad part, IMO. (And since I'll immediately be told I'm a Trumpista b/c I don't think Americans are the only idiots in the world, kindly save your fingers the typing. I'm a leftist, even by EU standards, thank you. I'm also a realist, and I've traveled. A medical doctor from Indonesia is a flat-earther. An in-law in the UK thinks Covid is a hoax to get Labour back in power. And my fam in Quebec will often say that they won't use wind turbine-generated power b/c, wait for it, the blades will *cut the treetops*. They were born and raised in Canada. So... Does America suck? Yes. Are we the only idiots? No. Peace to your day.)

    Thank you. The concerns had to do with declines in property values as landowners sold out to solar and electric companies and opportunities for local young people disappeared. Solar farms were creating ghost towns in the area.

    There is an agreement for it. It's albedo effect. Since most solar panels are dark in color they will absorb heat. This increases the heat of a localized area. So yeah it sounds bad if you stop there. Continue to explain the comparison between fossil fuel plants and suddenly it's like comparing a tic tac to a big Mac in calories. It's the same logic cycle of antivax mercury claims and they stopped the research just moments from seeing that it's a non issue.

    But I'd think that large areas of solar panels covering previously vegetated areas would have some effect on the surrounding temperature and the moisture in the soil, and so would have a detrimental effect on the flora and fauna, similar to paving the area.

    It's true mostly... there is a concern for property values but that's conveniently left out of most articles. Also: large panels do increase heat in close proximity to panels. Is it enough to stunt vegetation? I don't know.

    Just imagine: "The total world energy usage (coal+oil+hydroelectric+nuclear+renewable) in 2015 was 13,000 Million Ton Oil Equivalent (13,000 MTOE) - see World Energy Consumption & Stats. This translates to 17.3 Terawatts continuous power during the year.... if we cover an area of the Earth 335 kilometers by 335 kilometers with solar panels, even with moderate efficiencies achievable easily today, it will provide more than 17,4 TW power. This area is 43,000 square miles."

    Well as a matter of fact, there have been some instances where they are implemented in a big enough number they do stop the ground from absorbing enough heat, which do generates some problems know as microclimate. Because climate is dependant on the on the heat absorbed, so that teacher did not stray off too much.

    The subreddit is fairly fresh. r/TerminallyStupid was founded in late February of 2019 and will be celebrating its third birthday in less than two months.

    If you’re planning on becoming a member of the community, then you should keep the rules the moderators set out in mind. First things first, the content that you post has to match the spirit and direction of the subreddit itself. “Any post that does not have some terminally stupid person in them will be removed. This does not include posts about the subreddit itself,” the moderators explain that things have to be relevant.

    Meanwhile, even though at the core of the subreddit lies the desire to poke fun at people who do really dumb stuff, the moderators still care about those people’s privacy. On that note, all names have to be blurred or scratched out so that they’re not readable. The same thing applies to license plates.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The only exceptions are public figures and famous people who we, obviously, know and can comment on their behavior openly as much as we like. However, this doesn’t mean that the focus should be on politics. “Please, No politics. This subreddit is not going to devolve into a fight between the left and right. Users found to be in violation of this rule will be banned,” r/TerminallyStupid’s mods warn.

    Previously, I interviewed Vanessa Bohns, an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at Cornell University. We spoke about embarrassment, knowledge blind spots, and how we should react when we make big blunders.

    "We spend a lot of time and effort presenting an ideal version of ourselves to other people. When something happens that contrasts with the image we’ve been projecting—when we say or do something that shows we actually aren’t as graceful or as smart as we’d like people to believe—we feel embarrassed," Vanessa explained to Bored Panda what happens when our perception of how great we think we are doesn’t match reality.

    "Discovering you were wrong about something most everyone else around you has long known to be true is one of those moments. In that moment we learn, 'Wait a minute, maybe I haven’t been presenting the image of being smart or worldly that I thought I was presenting all this time,' which is embarrassing,” the expert said.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    It’s not all doom and gloom when it comes to embarrassment. In fact, it can be a very positive force. That is if we react accordingly.

    “One thing that’s interesting about embarrassment is that, for as much as we might experience it as painful in the moment, it’s actually very socially adaptive. Being embarrassed signals to other people that you care about what they think. And that actually draws people in to you,” Vanessa said.

    “So blushing, burying your head in your hands, laughing, acknowledging how embarrassing something was, are all totally healthy ways to react,” Vanessa said that we shouldn’t feel embarrassed about feeling embarrassed. In fact, trying to hide our embarrassment can actually backfire on us.

    “The unhealthy way to react is to pretend you’re not embarrassed, that you didn’t make a mistake, or to get angry. Those things undo the positive effect of embarrassment typically has on other people by conveying insincerity and pushing people away rather than drawing them in,” she said. In short, owning up to having done something downright dumb and incredibly stupid by embracing our embarrassment is the mature, emotionally healthy way to react. Trying to hide the fact that we messed up, however, won’t win us any friends.

    I'm not convinced this is true. There has been an urban legend around since the '90s about a cleaner at a hospital unplugging the life support to plug in the floor polisher. The story supposedly took place at a hospital in South Africa, but follow-ups showed it never happened. Then a few years later I saw the same story on the news (here in South Africa) about it happening it Zimbabwe. It never happened!
