Getting a tattoo is - or should be - a serious decision. Getting inked up is a hell of a lot easier than getting a hasty tattoo removed. That's why you should never get the name of that person you're absolutely in love with after just a few months of dating. It's also why you need to choose an artist you trust, and try not to request a tattoo when you're under the influence of alcohol or under the influence of stupidity. These awful tattoo fails will probably scare any lackadaisical ink addicts straight.
FAILS
While we realize that for many people education is a luxury, some of these errors are just too ridiculous to to admonish. It's pretty clear from these cringey pics that we either need to invest more money in our schools, or work harder to make autocorrect work for everyone,
As much of the world is stuck indoors with nothing to do, many people are resorting to crafty cooking projects. Baking sourdough bread has been a big one on our feed, as well as banana bread. The latter is a delicious way to use your tired and aging bananas, when done right. When done wrong? Well, Twitter user Hend Amry took to the site to show how spectacularly wrong the simple recipe can go. And she's not alone. All over the world, people in lockdown have been trying to pass the time by making cakes, cookies and breads. And many of them should probably abandon baking altogether. These are their stories.
Nothing distracts us from our earthly pain quite like basking in the failures of others. You know, a little schadenfreude. This mega-dump of design fails and muck ups is mixed in with a peppering of clever signage. It's important to remind yourself that there are some people out there with some smarts and a sense of humor.
Some people say that if at first you don't succeed, you should try and try again. Some of these fiery mistakes definitely challenge the logic behind that saying. That said, we're inclined to give everyone here an E for "effort" - even if it's just for providing us with such excellent schadenfreude.
The internet is a magical place that allows us to spend our hard earned money without even leaving our homes. Hell, we can shop for dumb sh*t while we're on our way to our sad jobs. Sometimes, however, whether due to drunk shopping or screwed up internet retailers, us money-spenders end up getting a lot less than we bargained for - or more, if you're looking at these blunders from a comedic standpoint.
As lovers of schadenfreude, we relish any lurid tales of embarrassing moments. And Twitter user @mo87mo87 unwittingly started a thread that gives us our favorite kind of entertainment. After sharing one of his most shameful email fails, other people were inspired to share their muck-ups, which range from hilarious to downright awkward. We've put together most of our favorites, but you can enjoy more cringey tales of e-communication over on the thread.
Every now and then I'll be walking around, minding my own business, going about my boring life, when someone does something so overwhelmingly stupid I need at least a few minutes to recover. It's so easy to forget that we share the world with stupid people. These moments and photos are a reminder that you should never give people too much credit. They'll disappoint you.
We never feel terribly guilty for feeling entertained when people seem to roast themselves on the internet. But we're especially fascinated by the earnest people who really go for it, whether they're just woefully ignorant orbrazenly stupid. We've got to admire their spirit, their pep, their vim and vigor. And these examples encapsulate all of that, and just a dash a facepalm.
TGIF, y'all! One of our favorite ways to blow off steam after a long week of work is by watching prank videos. Unfortunately, most "pranksters" on Youtube have started to pull immature, and frankly cruel, pranks like throwing away their boyfriends' video games or girlfriends' makeup. That ain't the kind of pranking we're into. We're into the stuff that will pack a mental punch instead of actually hurting someone. Of course there are a few exceptions that prey on stupid people, but nobody's perfect. This batch of tweets, memes, and gifs is just the kind of silly fun we're looking for when it's time to take a load off.
AMC's The Walking Dead is back for its tenth season, and so is a meme that's inspired by the long-running zombie show. We've noticed a whole lot of memes mocking sign fails on subreddits such as r/dankmemes, and according to Know Your Meme, it all started with a poorly thought-out promotional poster. The poster features a door with the warning "Don't open, dead inside" scrawled hastily across it, but the way it's written makes it seem like the sign says "Don't dead, open inside." People mocked the promo for a while on Twitter, but it wasn't until early September that it began popping off in dank meme form. Redditors began pairing the shoddy signs with object-labeling to make it seem like the "wrong" interpretation is threatening the intended message, and they're pretty entertaining. Here are some of the best we've seen, but the evergreen nature of the meme makes us think there will be many more to come.
This meme has it all: the warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia we get from The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, and a healthy dose of schadenfreude from these images of people who just can't seem to get it right. The meme uses a scene from the show, during which Cornflake, one of Will Smith's white classmates, starts chanting "Yes! Power to the people! Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud!" Smith applauds Cornflake's energy, saying "All right, my man Cornflake got the spirit. He's a little confused, but he's got the spirit." The last part of the quote is what's getting meme'd, and it's being used in response to missteps ranging from grade school errors, to extremely bad takes on vaccinations. Here are some of our favorites.
Picking a card for a loved one, whether it's for a joyous or somber occasion, is generally an activity of thoughtfulness. While there are some exceptions, most of these people seem to be lacking in the empathy department. The cards range from hilariously obviousmuck-ups to seemingly painstakingly purposeful pranks, but they're all worthy of a smile and maybe a chuckle.
These cooking fails - some technical, others...intellectual - are pretty freaking horrifying. There's truly nothing worse that attempting to make a meal for ones self and mucking it up entirely. You're left hungry, embarrassed, and often without some seriously integral cooking tools.
If you thought your Aunt Dorothy's doll collection, couch covers, and doilies were problematic, you're about to get your mind blown. Copywriter Sarah Schauer opened Twitter's eyes to some of the more horrifying architecture and design choices we've seen in a while. From freakishly carpeted bathrooms to stairs going absolutely nowhere, these pics are sure to leave you with a lot of questions. If you're hungry for more of these cursed images, you can check out the rest of the thread here or check out these appalling and hilarious design fails.
