18 Deeply Confused People Who’ve Clearly Forgot How Life Works

Comment
We’ve all had one of those days where all you seem capable of is screwing up. For most of us at work, that means a typo in an e-mail, or a spilled drink, or a wrong order, or any of the little accidents that usually happen as a result of a momentary lapse in concentration. At home, a mistake can result in some real stupidity, like when you brush your teeth with skin cream instead of toothpaste, or pour orange juice into your breakfast cereal, as I have done many times before.

It used to be that these acts of idiocy would be forgotten almost instantly, but the ubiquity of the internet means that it’s easier than ever to capture and share pictures of people who, for whatever reason, have done something really stupid. Maybe they’ve been doing some simple act wrong their whole life, or maybe they’ve really messed up the planning and design of something – it doesn’t matter. Their failure is now ours to enjoy.
1. This t-shirt’s slogan is awful
2. What a view!
3. This makes my blood boil
4. Some real professional advice 
5. A good way to get arrested
6. This would make for an uncomfortable bathroom encounter
We have even more pants-on-head stupidity waiting for you over one page two, including a particularly pointless padlock, someone who really doesn’t get what bicycle stands are there for and a chair that literally no-one would ever want to sit on.
7. Someone doesn’t really understand what an acronym is
8. Someone else has missed the point of a padlock
9. What the hell?
10. The best sandwich ever made
11. Not the comfiest chair
12. Probably the laziest image I’ve seen all week
You think that was bad? We’ve saved the best/worst for last. Shoot over to page three for a good laugh at some of the most embarrassing examples ever, including a calendar that doesn’t make a lick of sense, a menu that’ll make you roll your eyes, and what might well be the worst shaving technique ever. 
13. Somebody really wanted a three-day-weekend
14. So much for fire safety regulations
15. Whoever made this menu needs to learn how to pour a drink
16. This person really doesn’t get shaving
17. They just didn’t care
18. Hosing your car… in the rain
Pretty ridiculous right? To be honest, whenever it comes to people messing up and just getting it wrong, you can guarantee that there will be plenty of examples. So many in fact that we’ve got a whole other article just to accommodate them all. Don’t believe me? Then check out these 17 people who failed better than anyone had failed before.

Introducing Message Reactions and Mentions for Messenger

Comment
Messenger is a great way to communicate with just one person or with a group of people. Today, we’re introducing two new features that improve group conversations to make them more fun and useful.

Message Reactions
Message Reactions are the ability to react to an individual message with a specific emotion, quickly showing acknowledgement or expressing how you feel in a lightweight way. For example, if someone messages a photo of their cute pet, you could respond with the love reaction. Or, if someone is trying to coordinate dinner plans, you could easily respond with a yes or no reaction to indicate your preferences.
To add a reaction, press and hold any message, and then tap to make your selection from the love, smile, wow, sad, angry, yes and no emojis.
You’ll be able to see how people have reacted to a message in the lower corner of the message. There, you’ll see the reactions people selected alongside a number indicating how many people reacted to the message. Tapping on the emojis will show you which members of your conversation reacted which way.
When someone reacts to a message you sent, you’ll see a small animation when you’re looking at the conversation.

And, if you don’t have Messenger open, you’ll receive a notification that lets you know who reacted to your message and how.
Messenger Reactions use Messenger emojis. Messenger Reactions work in one on one conversations as well as group conversations and can be used to comment on any message — text, stickers, videos, GIFs and even other emoji.
Mentions
Mentions is a way to directly notify someone when they’ve been mentioned in a conversation. To mention someone, type the “@” symbol or start typing the first few letters of the name or nickname of the person you want to notify and select them from the list.
When the message is sent, it will appear with highlighted text for the others in the group to see.
When a person is mentioned, instead of simply seeing that someone responded in the conversation, he or she will receive a new kind of notification that lets them know they were called out specifically. That way, it’s easy to jump right back in to the conversation to answer someone’s question or to provide a response.
Everyone in the conversation can see the call out in the conversation, and everyone gets a notification just like before, but only the specified person in the group conversation gets a notification that they have been mentioned. You can choose to turn off these notifications at any time.
Reactions and Mentions will also be available for Work Chat in Workplace, our global communications platform for organizations to collaborate better. Both features will begin rolling out today and will be available globally in the coming days.
To learn more about Reactions and Mentions, be sure to visit the Help Center, here and here.

Bill Gates Is The Richest Man In The World For The Fourth Year Running

Comment
Billionaire, philanthropist and inventor of the world’s most popular operating system Bill Gates has been named the richest man in the world – again. 

This is the fourth time Bill’s been recognised for the size of his wallet and he’s currently worth an estimated $86 billion that puts him way ahead of his closest competition, Warren Buffet, who’s only worth a ‘laughable’ $75.6 billion.
Just for fun I worked how many years I’d have to work to earn what Bill’s worth. It would take me 4,095,238 years of writing articles about the Kardashian’s newest selfies to earn what Bill’s worth – that’s a lot of selfies to go through.

Anyway, Americans basically dominated the top ten as usual with the Spanish business tycoon who owns the Zara fashion label, Amancio Ortega and Carlos Slim, who has his fingers in a fair few pies, coming in fourth and sixth respectively.
Forbes also had great news for people like the rest of us – those who think that a thousand pounds is a lot of money – the number of billionaires has increased by 13 per cent meaning there are 233 new billionaires on the block.

Their combined income also rose to a sickening $7.67 trillion which means that if these guys clubbed together they could literally buy and sell countries.
Meanwhile President Trump whose wealth is reportedly ‘yuuuuuge’ has clearly taken a hit since his reality TV show marketing ploy accidentally resulted in him becoming the leader of the free world coming in at 544th.

Facebook brings Snapchat-like Stories feature

Comment
This post originally suggested Facebook Stories was rolling out globally, but Facebook tells us it’s simply expanded its test to include more countries. We’ve update the post to reflect this information.

Facebook has brought an imitation of Snapchat’s Stories to Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger, but it’s also gearing up to bring it to the biggest platform of them all: Facebook itself.
The feature has been testing in Ireland since at least January, but Facebook is expanding the test to include more countries, including Chile, Vietnam, and Greece.

Facebook borrowing 'stories' & 'direct messaging' from instagram
3:42 PM - 15 Mar 2017
Stories have been a huge hit on Instagram, with 150 million people already using it back in January, so it’ll be interesting to see if Facebook proper can replicate that success. It should at least make more sense than WhatsApp; Facebook is the place I go to to see what my friends are up to, so Stories should feel somewhat at home.
That said, if you’re a heavy social media user, managing all these Stories clones has got to get tiring. I use Facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram regularly, but I definitely don’t want to waste time uploading images for a story to each of those platforms.
It originally appeared Facebook might be rolling out the feature globally, but it turns out it’s simply expanding the test to more countries. Still, at this point it appears it’s only a matter of time until it hits Facebook users around the world.
