50 Attempts That Just Ended In Miserable But Hilarious Failures
Trying is good, but it doesn't mean you'll escape embarrassment from doing it anyway.
As people say, when at first you don't succeed, try and try again until you do. However, many would agree that this doesn't apply to everything.
Sometimes, there are things that aren't worth trying right from the beginning. Then, there are also things for which one try is enough.
For the latter, it might take a lot of guts to admit that you've failed, but it's best to face your losses and move on rather than prolonging your embarrassment. Sometimes, though, even that one try can cement the embarrassment you've faced.
Don't forget, there are always people watching, and many would love to take joy in the misery you've experienced.
On Reddit, there is a community where people share hilarious and groan-worthy fails. What’s on there is the best celebration of incompetence, bad luck, and just plain attempts at villainy that didn't work.
Some of the very best posts on there are truly prize-worthy. We wonder why people even made the attempt in the first place, even though it was pretty obvious that whatever their idea was, it wasn't going to work. But then again, there are just those people.
Here are some of the very best attempts on the thread:

4BDUL4Z1ZThe Psychology of Failure
Embracing failure is a crucial aspect of personal growth, and research in psychology supports this notion.
Dr. Carol Dweck's work on growth mindset shows that viewing failures as learning opportunities can lead to greater resilience and success.
When individuals reframe their failures, they can develop a healthier relationship with risk-taking and innovation.

Studies published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology indicate that those who practice self-compassion are better equipped to deal with setbacks without spiraling into negative self-talk.
Encouraging self-kindness can transform the narrative around failure, allowing individuals to move forward positively.

Hopefully, some of these people have learned that sometimes, some ideas don't even need to be tried to be rejected.
