With billions of voices echoing across the internet, it’s inevitable that some statements defy all logic. From head-scratching reasoning to outright misinformation, here are some of the most absurd moments that will leave you questioning reality.
Social media has woven itself into the fabric of daily life, with over half the global population actively engaged. That translates to nearly 5 billion individuals freely sharing their thoughts at any moment. While this constant stream of content often delivers entertainment, useful insights, and meaningful conversations, it also produces instances that make you seriously wonder how some people navigate the world.
Whether it’s outright false information, a shocking absence of common sense, or arguments that make your head spin, the internet is full of baffling moments. At times, it feels like certain people should have their online access revoked—for everyone’s sake.
Thankfully, an entire online community is dedicated to exposing these mind-boggling moments. The Facepalm subreddit, with over 8.2 million members, thrives on showcasing the most ridiculous lapses in logic, critical thinking, and basic awareness. While the group does not tolerate bigotry, it fully welcomes calling out pure foolishness.
We’ve compiled some of the most facepalm-worthy, cringe-inducing, and utterly embarrassing displays of human cluelessness from the subreddit. Brace yourself—you might feel your IQ drop as you go through these hilarious blunders.
