Just yesterday, and cargo ship the size of a skyscraper on its side took down a high volume bridge in one of the United State's biggest cities. Throw that in with a slew of recent airline malfunctions, the Boeing scandal, the East Palestine derailment and much more, and it's clear that some of our county's basic systems are breaking down. When a 50-year-old bridge doesn't have the same padding as the very power lines next to it, something is wrong, and it cost the lives of at least five people. 

That is the darkest kind of fail, but there are is where it came from. People are saying and posting more dumb things than ever, and we the public are virtually powerless to do anything to stop the downfall. Instead, we just have to facepalm. For example, the Tesla Cybertruck tried quite hard to market itself towards to the same group that buys normal trucks, even introducing a $3,000 tent attachment that makes it look like a portable camping grounds. Except one that was bought at your local Dollar General instead of Home Depot. 

See that along with many more fails in this gallery of recent facepalms.
