FAIL

If you spend any time on YouTube or Instagram, you'll know that the platforms are very popular with people who like to share "life hacks." Many of these are unnecessary projects that weirdly feature soda bottles or appear to be designed to smuggle contraband to people who are in jail. These life hacks, however, are different. They fully embrace the fact that they're actually useless in favor of spicing up our lives with a little humor. And that's all we can ask for these days. 

While the living may have a say in their funeral plans before they die, the truth is that they're more for their loved ones who are grieving. Unfortunately, sometimes those people cannot be trusted to behave appropriately at what is supposed to be a respectful and somber affair. Redditor u/Bankrupt-R-Us has provided us with ample proof after soliciting r/AskReddit for some serious funeral horror stories. These shameful tales are filled with sorrow, cringe, and most importantly: reminders that you shouldn't be an asshole during intensely personal and painful moments. 

We like to think that as humans we've come a long way in the intellect department. But every now and then we get a sobering reminder that there's a ton of work to be done. Reddit user u/Vinyl_Bun_Buns has managed to serve up one such reminder after asking r/AskReddit followers to share the dumbest sh*t they'd ever heard someone say. The baffling and ridiculous responses (many of which we've included below) really make us want to pour money into education. Prepare to facepalm.

Listen, we know how difficult and convoluted the English language is. So this gallery of translation muck-ups is in no way mocking the effort put into making things understood by people who speak this Western tongue. Instead, our intention is merely to appreciate the humor in these very human errors. And definitely to marvel at how often the "f-bomb" is accidentally included in some extremely banal contexts. 

It's easy to scroll through a listicle or your feed without really stopping. Most images we see are pretty easy to absorb. That is not the case for the pictures in this gallery. This gallery is filled with design fails, cursed images, and all-around bizarre crap that makes us stop for a second and think. Which we honestly appreciate these days.

Some things change. People grow older, they grow apart. Pandemics ravage the globe. Natural disasters become more frequent. People move. But one thing stays the same. One thing remains constant: the absolute joy  we feel while laughing at other people's stupidity. And there's a whole lot of it right here.

Y'all ever hear of 'creative incompetence'? It's when someone goes out of their way to show they simply cannot accomplish a task. These fails are a bit different, as they come from people who seem to have gone out of their way to fulfill their duties, to disastrous or middling results. 

Job-hunting is hard enough without having to deal with complete and utter inadequacy at the hiring level. Like, come on people, get your sh*t together and at least set a decent example for your applicants! The following job ads will anger literally anyone who has any decent sense of grammar and punctuation. And we mean anyone. These are bad...

This gallery's for the cunning linguists who cringe when they see an improper their, there or they're. These language fails may not be worthy of execution, but they're definitely worthy of our scrutiny, laughter, and maybe even an eyeroll or two. Nobody's perfect, but people should try harder when they're putting themselves out there on a public platform. Laugh away. 

Look, we can't all be excellent cooks, and that's okay. What matters is that these people tried. And for those of us who are really just not culinarily gifted no matter how hard we try, there's always Postmates!

There's such a thing as blissful ignorance, but we're pretty sure these people aren't it. We do feel sort of bad for them, but at the same time, they provide us with a lot of entertainment, and they kind of make us feel better about our own intellect...

While we're in quarantine very few of us will be able to serve up that IRL comeback heat. But because we're suckers for seeing people roasted and toasted, we've collected some burns and comebacks that were served up on the internet. We're gonna be here for a while, why not enjoy some quality roasts while we're at it? 

We don't know about y'all, but we think learning to swim as kids was straight-up terrifying, so this meme brings back some unfortunate feelings. But on a lighter note, it's being used to make fun of times when something important gets blatantly ignored. Check out Know Your Meme for more examples!

The following people have majorly failed at the one thing they were supposed to do, but at least we get some laughs out of it. Check out more fail-y moments here!

Eight years ago the world was rocked by a well-meaning old Spanish woman who took it upon herself to restore a painting of Jesus Christ. The painting, in its hilariously terrible glory, is often referred to as "Monkey Christ" or "Potato Jesus". Whatever you choose to call the massive fail, it's got some new competition. 

According to The Guardian, a private art collector in Spain (here we go again) paid a furniture restorer 1,200 euros to clean a famous painting by the baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. The restorer's efforts fell woefully short of expectations, and left the Virgin Mary's face completely unrecognizable. The gaffe, which has inspired experts to call for art restoration regulation, might be tragic to art lovers, but is going a long way to amuse bored Twitter users. Even the Royal Academy of the Arts got in on the fun and challenged followers to "restore" the painting themselves. The results are pretty damn entertaining.

These pics are the definition of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should." But at least they're incredibly entertaining for us, right? Now go check out some more fail-y pics via Fail Blog!
