The Facepalm meme is a universal digital gesture used to convey frustration, disappointment, or the sheer disbelief one feels when encountering something exceptionally foolish. While the concept of a facepalm is as old as human emotion, the internet version was popularized through various pop culture icons, most notably Captain Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation. It serves as a visual shorthand for the phrase 'I can't even believe this is happening.' Over the years, the meme has evolved into numerous variations, ranging from single-person reactions to double-facepalms and even group facepalms, remaining a staple in online discourse for reacting to fails, bad takes, and awkward situations.
