facepalm

As human beings, we're all very familiar with dumb moments of failure and stupidity. People do and say stupid things as if it's their job. Whether it's arguing with Buzz Aldrin about the moon landing or getting keys stuck in an armored car, the bar lowers every day for facepalm moments from humanity's best and brightest.

When we feel like we're dumb, nothing hits the spot like seeing other people make dumber, worse mistakes than we do. It doesn't make us feel smarter, but it does make us feel less stupid. Luckily there are facepalm moments from humanity's best and brightest to help provide the world with some of that needed self-esteem.

People are constantly caught up in an attempt to do something. Some people are trying to be complimentary or look smart. Some people are trying to re-frame news or look younger. Every attempt might hit the ground with the sound of failure. Whatever people try to do, their attempt might stumble into a pile of fail.

We're all people, and we make mistakes. Some of us learn after one or two. Others just keep making them forever and ever, and that's where the real magic happens. People have facepalm moments of mystifying dumbness at all hours of the day, and we're here for it. Classic facepalm moments are what make us human, and also what make us feel better that we're not the particular human making that stupid error.

We're human, and we're never far from mistakes, failures, errors and blunders. Does that mean we learn from our mistakes? Honestly it's hard to tell. There's enough of us out here messing up that it doesn't look like idiocy is going away soon. All we can really do is sit back and enjoy the facepalm moments of mystifying dumbness.

Human beings can do some absolutely incredible things when it comes to observation, innovation and expressing nuance. At the same time, there will always be those of us who aren't exactly running on all cylinders.  And then sometimes we're just having an off day. These are the producers of facepalm moments of mystifying dumbness.

Every day of our lives we makes mistakes, but luckily most of us know better than to hit ourselves with facepalm moments from the dimmest bulbs. If there were ever an opportunity to feel smart about your own life decisions, it would be while reviewing the monumentally dumb facepalm moments some other people manage to find themselves in.

Just when you think people are basically good at things, you get hit with some facepalm moments from the dimmest bulbs. Sure, it's a little disappointing to see someone call a sunrise a "morning sunset" but at the same time it at least makes you feel a little better about yourself. These incompetent moments of classic facepalm can act as medicine for the soul.

No human is immune to error, but there are definitely some of us that are prone to making more. Just when you think people as a whole might be getting smarter, you're hit directly with facepalm moments from the dimmest bulbs. If human error were trees, facepalm moments are your very own log cabin.

We all fall prey to brain farts, and sometimes those brain farts end up manifesting in unbelievably clueless statuses for the rest of the online world to tear into with ferocious passion. Outside of the brain farts, the internet also invites a whole lot of blind ignorance. If we're lucky, we get to see those folks called out by some remarkable retorts.

You'd think that in this day and age people would be aware that joke news sites exist, or at least have enough sense to look at the source of a headline. But no, your aunt will still seriously respond to an article from "The Not Real News Times" about how sea world has taught its dolphins to drown children who aren't having enough fun. Anyway here are more absurd individuals who didn't get satire.

If you think you're stupid, don't worry, there's someone out their saying or doing something that would make you look like a great big brain lord. People are producing classic facepalm moments of incompetence at a rate that surprises everyone around them. Humanity is just boiling over with incompetent facepalm moments.

Human beings are capable of incredible things, but one of our more interesting features is our ability to ignore reality and push forward with incredible facepalm moments of incompetence. There are enough dumb moments out there to fill your day with stupid. The dumbness never stops.

As the human race muddles forth, it carries with it moments of dumbness that you'd think would do us all in by now. But now, we just keep moving along, making stupid mistakes and classic facepalm moments that fill the day with stupid. It's awe-inspiring, the amount of dumb facepalm moments that we manage to pack into the day.

Everything in life is just a series of attempts. Sometimes you're trying to give someone advice, be judgmental or make a decent point. Other times you're trying to get a big wooden plank into your car. Part of living is knowing that many of these attempts will dive into a pool of failure.

We're supposed to be the smartest species on the planet, but sometimes it doesn't feel that way. For every one of our genius achievements, there are a hundred monumental lapses in judgement. The good thing about that is a lot of them are funny to watch.  For more human error, here are some classic moments of facepalm to get that stupid fix.
