Facebook friends making you facepalm?

Take a screenshot and post it here!


NEW! We've changed the rules about posts! We will be removing Facebook wins, which should be posted to /r/facebookwins. We will also be removing posts about like whores and posts about misused memes.


Rules:

  • Completely black out all personal info. This includes but is not limited to profile pictures (including your own), first and last names, links to other profiles, location data, and anything else that could be personally identifiable.
  • Do not post links to profiles or any other personal info. This will get you banned immediately.
  • No facebook albums with images of the poster.
  • No posts about memes being used incorrectly or like whores.
  • No posts that qualify as /r/facebookwins material.
  • If you break a rule, your post or comment will be removed, and you will be PMed with a warning. After two warnings, your next offense will get you banned.
  • Self posting is turned on for meta discussion only.
  • Example of a perfect post: http://i.imgur.com/MlywX.png

It's generally a good idea to color code different people in the conversation to make the submission flow better!

If you see a post that breaks the rules, please report it and consider sending a message to the mods (you can do that here) explaining which post you reported and why.

Abusive and/or malicious content will be removed. A user posting such content may be banned. A banned user may appeal to the moderators; a majority vote of moderators can overturn a ban. The vote is final.

I know how stupid can nerds be! next they'll think the Moon is just the largest of several moons Earth has! :O

[–]Liopluerodon_2112 22 points23 points ago

Yeah, and then they'll believe that the Earth orbits the sun, pfffff idiots.

[–]Xemone 11 points12 points ago

Like the Earth can orbit anything anyway. The Earth is flat. It'd just fly over anything in space like a Frisbee.

[–]wtf_shroom 8 points9 points ago

The Earth does not fly over things, it is stationary. We live in a static universe. Everything revolves around us. Hail Apollo.

[–]elvisnake 10 points11 points ago

TIL we have multiple moons. Thanks gunshypigeon87!

A pleasure to pass on the useless knowledge that was passed onto me! Use it well!

People like them make want to kill yourself

[–]Cordtus 4 points5 points ago

What the hell is with this recent flood of morons thinking the sun is not a star?

Did anyone else not know this by the time they were in first grade?

[–]KaleleBoo 8 points9 points ago

I want to see more content like this on /r/facepalm.

[–]John_Fx 3 points4 points ago

Sure, the sun has been in a lot of movies, but always in a background role (except maybe in Sunshine). I don't think that makes it a star as compared to Brad Pitt or Jessica Alba.

[–]BlueBird518 1 point2 points ago

getting a bit tired of the "the sun isn't a star" jokes now.

[–]seven-ends 0 points1 point ago

I was just thinking to myself... why have I seen so many facebook posts pics lately with people incredulous about the sun being a star?

[–]thefourthhouse 0 points1 point ago

People like this deserve to get punched in the face. Honestly, what do they think it is?

[–]deux3xmachina 0 points1 point ago

The grazing pastures for the horses of mighty Helios

I literally face palmed so hard I think I broke my nose.

[–]FlickingYourSwitch 0 points1 point ago

I can't remember a time when I didn't know that.

[–]pirate_chef 0 points1 point ago

Why do you think it's a "she"?

[–]THEyoungswagg 0 points1 point ago

Cant argue with that logic

[–]stickdude918 0 points1 point ago

[–]AbigailRoseHayward 1 point2 points ago

Oh the sun's a bright star,

And Mercury's hot too.

Venus is the brightest planet,

And Earth's home to me and you!

Mars is the red one,

And Jupiter's the most wide!

Saturn's got those icy rings,

And Uranus spins on it's side!

Neptune's really windy,

And Pluto's really small!

Oh you wanted to name the planets,

and now we've named them all!

Seriously, who didn't learn that song when they were little?

[–]WhatTheFedex 1 point2 points ago

Umm... Me.

[–]AbigailRoseHayward 0 points1 point ago

...okay then.

[–]DecryptedGaming 0 points1 point ago

Me as well...
