brain fart

Most of us have caught ourselves in the middle of a completely nonsensical act where we basically just wake up, and realize we have no idea what we're doing. It's as if some other completely aloof force possesses the body for a hot minute, and makes it do all kinds of dumb stuff. As long as you can maintain a sense of humility, and the mindless action didn't put you in harms way, it's actually a great chance to laugh at yourself. 

Maybe you didn't get enough sleep or maybe you were just on autopilot. There are a lot of reasons to make extremely simple, stupid mistakes that make you look like a complete idiot to strangers. It can even happen when you literally forget what you are holding in each hand and end up throwing a cup of hot coffee on your bed.

Man oh man, sometimes the brain takes a lunch break, and a true fail presents itself. Take for instance, this soldier who microwaved a can of Chef Boyardee (with the lid on), on an active military base. Naturally, the resulting mess created a nice eruption of chaos, given the environment. 

Sometimes brains fart. Yes, sometimes we get caught up in the middle of a moment where our intentions don't align with the words falling out of our mouths. A severe form of miscommunication where things in the brain are misfiring, and we're just basically speaking a ton of nonsense. It's wonderful. At the very least, it'll inspire some laughter as people realize you had no idea what you were saying for a moment. 

People shared their stupid mental mistakes and switch-ups, commonly known as brain farts. It's not really your fault, most people have so much to focus on on a daily basis that sometimes we don't put enough effort into our own speech. But still, switching up a few letters can mean the difference between saying you've just been hit in the shins and you've just shit in the bins.

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the dumbest shit they pulled while their brains were on auto-pilot. The resulting acts of sheer stupidity are relatable and hilarious as hell. Can't beat a potent brain fart, when you find yourself driving toward nowhere for no reason at all. 

Sometimes it is excruciatingly difficult to remember how to swallow. Or maybe you can't spell the seemingly simple word, "of", to save your life. It's struggles like these that tear through our crazy lives to humble us, with that moment of self-awareness, that can make us feel just a little bit (temporarily) dumb. 

These knuckleheads need a damn instruction manual to navigate a day not miserably afflicted by FAILs. At least it's entertaining for us back here!
