50 Of The Most Hilarious Fails Following “An Attempt Being Made” (Best Of All Time)
Interview
There’s nothing wrong with failing—it’s one of the best ways to learn and grow. But let’s be honest, some mishaps are just plain hilarious. And with the internet always watching, if your slip-up makes it online, there’s a good chance it’s already landed on the subreddit ‘There Was An Attempt.’
Don’t worry, though—these things tend to blow over quickly.
Well, except for today, because we’ve put together a compilation of the best posts we’ve ever featured from this community. Enjoy!

"Only men can be drafted" and who made conscription into law, hmmmm? HINT: It passed in the mid-1800s, before women could be elected to office, nor could they vote.
David 1 year ago
False. The current draft bill, the Select Service Act was passed in 1940, that is the mid 1900s, and a while after women got the vote. The last amendment to it was in 2003, long long after women got the vote. I dont know what conscription law you are talking about, maybe the one for the civil war, but that expired in 1865.

To Give The Worst Land
"In 1913, Sarah Rector, a 10-year-old black girl received a land allotment of 160 acres in Oklahoma. The best farming land was reserved for whites, so she was given a barren plot. Oil was soon discovered there & she became the country's first black millionaire."

With over 7.2 million members, ‘There Was An Attempt’ (TWAA) is one of Reddit’s largest communities. To understand what makes it so special and why it’s beloved by so many, Bored Panda reached out to the moderators who run the subreddit and keep it thriving.

In the grand scheme of things, TWAA’s popularity doesn’t just rely on people’s love for watching others’ fails. There are plenty of places online for that, but TWAA has really cemented itself as an iconic community on Reddit.
“I think people love TWAA because it captures the full spectrum of human experience,” says u/Sabbah. “Sure, it’s funny to watch failed attempts, but these posts often bring out a mix of emotions—from empathy to curiosity. People can see relatable struggles, and that blend of laughter and reflection keeps it engaging for a broad audience.”

To Trick The Allied Forces
"During WW2, the Germans built a fake wooden airfield with wooden aircraft, vehicles, and hangars in order to trick the Allies. The RAF, having known of the secret project for months, patiently waited for them to finish and then dropped a single fake wooden bomb on it"
Jrog 1 year ago (edited)
Despite being a frequently recounted story, it is most likely an urban legend. At least some of the "wooden bombs" shown in the photos circulating are actual ordnance (aircraft floating flares for use at sea). There are no records of such a mission, and it would have made little sense to run it in wartime conditions. https://www.forcesnews.com/feature/did-allied-pilots-really-drop-fake-wooden-bombs-fake-wooden-decoy-airfields

Second-in-charge mod u/BlueberryBubblyBuzz, who also goes by u/Kumquat_conniption, believes TWAA stands out because it shows humanity in its rawest form, something we often miss in today’s digital age.
“With social media making everyone’s lives look perfect, there’s something refreshing and real about watching people fail,” they share. “Most of what we see online is carefully staged, but watching a fail? That’s real. It reminds us that we’re not the only ones messing up, even if it happens more often than we’d like.”
“Maybe when we’re constantly comparing ourselves to seemingly perfect lives, it feels good to see someone else fail. Like, ‘Hey, at least I’m not having as bad a day as that guy!’ That could be why TWAA is so appealing.”

Due to a lack of natural predators we have a deer overpopulation here. So hunters have to thin them out to protect the flora. Why waste the remains? They had better lifes than most cows, pigs or chicken and beeing shot without knowledge is quiet stressless most of the time.

The natural predators of deer, that kept them in balance with the land they grazed, have all been killed off by humans and the result has been that the deer overgraze their territory and partially starve. Human hunters are necessary for the preservation of the land and the health of the deer.
What really makes TWAA stand out, however, is how its followers find a certain inspiration in the fails. There’s a sense of camaraderie in seeing people genuinely try, even when things go wrong.
“Fails can be inspiring, as they remind us that everyone stumbles and grows from mistakes,” explains u/Sabbah. “Seeing others face setbacks and bounce back can motivate us to be more resilient, take risks, and keep going. Sometimes, the funniest fails hold the most powerful lessons.”

Also, face recognition does not work by taking and sending photos. It's a set of complex measurements with 3d scanning sensors (TOF and LIDAR), that records significative points and relates them through mathematical formulas, ultimately generating a set of biometric readings allowing the recognition to work notwithstanding the current facial expression may be different than the one recorded during training. The scan also acquires an IR reading, that is used to ensure the scanned face is not a photo or a mannequin. All the processing is done locally, and not on the cloud.

To Say Jesus Didn't Use Pronouns
BrunoVI 1 year ago
That's not what John 18:6 said at all. The actual quote was shocking because of the lack of a 3rd-person pronoun: "Jesus said, 'I am.'" The absence of a third-person, direct-object pronoun made his listeners fall to ground in shock, because they correctly inferred he was claiming to be God. The odd grammatical construct, which prompted the King James versions' translators to add a pronoun, was correctly interpreted as a reference invoking the name God gave himself, "I am that I am."

To Prevent The Homeless From Sleeping Here
David Martin 1 year ago
Im sorry if this is gonna be controversial and gets some people riled up, but...I hate any time a city or the government will go out of their way and spend money to make life more difficult for the homeless. These poles, the dividers added to public benches, or the pictures I've seen where actual metal spikes were added to the ground near buildings to cut down on places for homeless people to sleep. They're human beings, people...and with rising costs, they could be you tomorrow
David 1 year ago
David, I can see both sides of it. It isn't just "mean corporation wants homeless person to sleep in the rain". There are often health and safety issues. When I managed a downtown apartment building we didn't have any "anti-homeless" stuff but from time to time I wished we did. Our front doorway was kind of inset. From time to time we literally had people pissing and s******g in our doorway. One time a homeless drunk was passed out up against the door (which opens outwards) and was blocking people trying to exit the building to go to work. Another time a couple came up our back fire escape and were shooting up (heroin I think) on our roof. One could walk away, the other had to be carried off by paramedics. Didn't happen to my tenants, but locally we have had instances of people getting attacked trying to get past the homeless folks. Yes, it could be you or me. But "you or me" would hopefully not act like the ones that cause a lot of this stuff to be done.

To Clean Up After Himself

My cat used to do that. She'd stick her butt too far over the edge of the litter box sometimes and accidentally pee on the floor. So I kept potty pads underneath it. Whenever she'd pee outside the box she would scoop litter on it and then paw at the pad until it covered the spot. Frankly I almost preferred her peeing on the floor, because her "cover up" also made a huge mess. :)

It's a russian fairytale well known in all eastern europe. It's about a grandfather growing a very big carrot/turnip and wanting to harvest it, but it's too firm stuck in the ground. He asks several family members for help, but only all of them together can manage to get it out. It's a tale about how all family members should work together. My great grandma's family redid the scene for a picture on their farm early 1930ies :)

To Sleep Peacefully
JJ 1 year ago
Recommend the same. My husband has night terror (I am the one who suffers in this case) and once he grabbed me in the middle of the night screaming because he dreamt he we were in a train crash. The funnier stuff is that he once got his laptop from the living room, complained about Windows installing updates to wake up then and asking me why he had a laptop in bed. Or he once told me very softly, "My little chef." Doctors didn't help us at all with his condition, just told us to sleep apart. Yeah, well, thanks for nothing. The solution is a smart watch. It will wake him up when his heart rate goes up, waking him enough to turn around and fall asleep directly afterwards and restarting his sleep cycle.

I am a huge advocate of separate bedrooms for so many reasons from snoring, to fighting for blanket coverage, to being woken up terrorized. If you've got the money for an extra bedroom, consider this option for the health benefits of a good night's sleep.

My husband and I sleep in separate bedrooms because he is a snorer and I’m a light sleeper. It’s made a big difference to my health.

To Say Hello To A Ghost
BeesEelsAndPups 1 year ago
So weird. Something really similar happened to me. My Freshman year of highschool my twin brother died, and he played on the football team. There was this one girl who would give me crazy looks everything I said hello to her after that. She must have really missed him. PS: I am joking, my brother sucked at football. Also he wasn't my twin, and he's still alive. The part about girls giving me weird looks is true though

DC 1 year ago
It's as much just a dietary choice as opposing slavery is just a dislike of cotton. It's an ethical principle that influences minor, less important things like diet, but it's not a genuinely dietary choice. It's not about taste or health, it's about not inflicting suffering. Is that really that hard to understand?

To Collect Rent On A House You Live In For Free

It's a very adult thing to own land and charge rent for it. It's a good source of income so long as you're not a high-charging slum lord. I don't see a problem with OP charging rent out of spite. Their step dad was doing it out of a sense of self-important entitlement.

Jane Doe 1 year ago
She's protecting her man. She didn't care that her husband would threaten to throw her son out. Not because she knew son owned the house, but because she believed her son would cover her lie of omission. She figured the son might not pay rent, but he would never "ruin her marriage!" Her son could move out or pay a little rent to "keep the peace" because as long as her man was happy, life was good.

To Relax A Bit More
Pernille 1 year ago
Saw that some places have started fining parents for being late to pick up their children, this should be implemented everywhere. The fines got bigger the more you were late.
Mumma Cass 1 year ago
When my daughter was in childcare (Australia) the Childcare Director wrote a rule in the parents contract that if parent/carer does not pick their child up before closing time (6pm) the parent/carer will be charged $10 for the 1st 10mins & then $5 every minute after. It is reasonable considering she had her youngest in the same Childcare. Throughout the 6yrs my daughter attended, several parents/carers were always running late.. so the Director had no choice to change the rules the each child needed to be picked up by 5:45pm, just enough time to collect kids jackets/jumpers & other personal belongings

Mourning doves make similar "nests." My parents had one in their kitchen window this past spring and I never thought my father would be so concerned over that bird family's safety.

The reason for this is that after we domesticated pigeons(then stopped using them for tasks), they grew dependant on humans! This is also why they live in cities and can't build nests.

I remember as a child learning the phrase 'give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him to fish and you feed him for a lifetime', and thinking "but if he lives by water that's full of fish, surely he'd already know how to fish?". I just presumed as a child that I didn't know enough to understand. Turns out I was right, and this is a prime example of reformed colonists presuming automatically that they know better how to do something than 'the natives' (i.e. non-white people) and tried to encourage them to do things 'the Western way' because it **must** be better than what the indigenous population were doing. Now we realise that indigenous populations are perfectly capable of feeding themselves from the land they have lived in for millennia - all things being equal. It's the 'all things being equal' that is the problem.
