In terms of fails, these go down in history as catastrophically terrible. Sometimes you just make such a monumental mistake that it goes on to echo into eternity. These are absolutely those times.

People are sharing the biggest moments in history that look like one giant "f**k you." The resulting historical facts are definitely entertaining!
AskReddit can get infuriating sometimes so we're glad for the threads that make us chuckle. This one asking what shocking facts J.K. Rowling would reveal about Marvel characters is a great example of how funny Redditors can be.
Whether it's a lie promoted from a government in wartime, or a company trying to to sell more product, there are some falsehoods people live with that are a direct result of very persuasive marketing. But hey, it's good to learn why we think the things we think. On a lighter note, here are fake facts people believed for WAY too long.
Tumblr, being it's own weird-ass self, went on a anthropological news search for preserved food that could result in the ingredients for a well aged grilled cheese. It's a stupid experiment, but hey, why else do we have the internet? Tumblr has done some amazing work, like the time they ran the math on the exact day of Ice Cube's "Good Day"
The world is a freaky place. Some events sound so extraordinary that they sound like a crackpot fever-dream that no one could possibly have thought to do in real life. You don't need to be Dale Gribble to believe these. These are 100% true facts (however fantastical they sound). On the other side, here are some completely unproven obscure conspiracies that people personally believe in.
Just cause everyone thinks something's right doesn't mean that it's not completely messed up. An obvious sentiment that can get dangerously easily lost amidst the madness of the times. This Twitter thread seeks to honor a courageous man in history, Silas Soule, who stood up for the right thing even when it ended up costing him his life.
There aren't many things about the past that need to come back. The Plague, as a safe example. Sometimes certain sayings are lost just because they aren't relevant to everyday life, or they refer to some person or story that isn't popular anymore. Some sayings are lost before they get to live out their full potential, and these ones look like they've still got some juice in em. Some popular sayings are total bastardizations of their original meanings, this tumblr thread explains.
This one's for the dinosaur kids. This Tumblr thread goes into the gritty details of the lengths artists and scientists went to to make the amazingly realistic effects in Jurassic Park. Turns out the film leaves an incredibly interesting legacy. Pretty cool rigs, man.
Yeah, we googled em. Pretty legit. We're as surprised as you. It kind of makes sense, if you consider how long people have been around, and all the things we've done, that someone would've thought to enlist a bear in the military or that multiple people would have died in a literal whiskey flood. History is crazy.
Boy does this make us feel old. Now that all the kids are playing forknife or whatever, they never got to suffer the frustration and constant failure that went into playing, and losing The Game. We're just glad that there's still people out there on tumblr willing to explain the rich history of The Game. Ah crap, just lost again.
Nobody's family is perfectly normal, but some people's families are more interesting. And maybe not in the best ways. Some are more trivial and embarrassing, like liking pineapple pizza. Some are family shattering, like secret families. Reminds us of this girl who figured out her family secrets by taking a blood test in college.
