21 Historical Events As TIFU Posts
Everyone makes mistakes, but some people, for some reason, want to immortalize them on the internet. That’s where the “TIFU” (“today I fucked up”) subreddit comes in. From accidentally stalking a woman to giving a dog too many treats, it’s basically There’s Something About Mary in real life. To the posters therein, getting laughs is simply more important than having dignity, and for that, we salute them.
After all, when you think about it, everything in history is a TIFU post. Somewhere along the line, someone fucked up, necessitating someone else behaving historically. Or maybe the fuck-up itself made history. Whatever the case, when user InnocentWalrus asked r/AskReddit, “What is a significant historical event that would make a great TIFU post?” there were plenty of candidates.
