My buddy's bench press blunder went viral.

He posted the video. It got shared a ton. What makes fails so shareable?

My buddy's bench press blunder, @zarakim, shows how our feeds FEAST on relatable everyday mishaps.

You said it's just a guy dropping a weight, but that's the whole point. It's not about the news, it's about feeling that shared moment of panic. We all know that feeling when something goes wrong in a simple task. Our feeds are full of big bad news, so these small human mistakes are a relief. They remind us everyone messes up sometimes. Don't you find yourself watching stuff like that more than the actual news?

It's just a guy dropping a weight. Why's everyone acting like it's a major news event.
