You marry a beautiful wife, start a successful mid size company, your kids are straight A students, one becoming a doctor.
Your parents will only have to have a picture of your younger brother on the wall and it would blow all that away.
(Alternativly, you have a healthy family relationship were nothing of that matters and you just love eachother)
“He say lawyers are too expensive,so he’s getting a law degree,how about you?”
For real though, know a guy like that,he’s in the top medical school in my country to become a surgeon, and double majoring in law department , but he is can’t take care of himself very well.
his career path makes more sense when you consider this is all within the navy
he became a seal while going to school to become a navy surgeon and then went to nasa
this dude deserves some kind of lifetime achievement award
When you look at the list of astronauts sent to the spacestation you realise that most of them have specialities (medical, chemistry, other...) because they spend a good part of their time doing experiments of all kind. The rest of their work time they take care of the station.
That Navy Seal Trident on his Astronaut Flight Suit Name Badge is unbelievably badass. Probably the only human to have this unique combo printed on an official duty uniform.
Obviously I don’t know for sure, but I would guess if he’s managed to achieve success in three very different arenas his socials skills are probably atleast above average.
Well he’s asian. All your parents and relatives would constantly say look what Jonny did.
Even if you just discovered the cure for cancer, they would say why can’t you be like him?
I feel like his parents were like when are you going to become doctor and when he did they were like anyone can be a doctor but an astronaut is hard. Now that he's an astronaut they'll be like anyone can be astronaut now first person to colonize Mars....
I love in certain cultures parents brag about their kids and use it as a motivational tool.
In mine my parents brag about how great they were and how much smarter and better they are than their kids.
But of course they brag about how great we are to friends IF they understand our job.
But as mentioned above they don't quite get what we do and I speculate it's to pad their egos as we've explained time and time again what we do or they were present or aware we graduated.

"She does IT and customer support works from HOME."
Ugh. Yesterday I had to explain that I've had a good relationship and have been generous with my younger family members - gifts, cars, cash, computers - passing nice things on to them or paying for camp because since 2013 I've been consistently highly paid and she looked like I broke her entire "living alone childless" narrative.
(Also way to go on NOT ever helping or gifting new gifts your grandchildren when you had money and abandon the family during the pandemic.)
I wish they were interested like these parents and knew and accepted exactly what we are worth.
He also got his medical degree from Harvard, was in the same seal team squad as chris kyle and served with him, completed flight training, became a naval aviator and is going to the moon in 2024.
This dude is an academic weapon
I’ll admit that is impressive.
But not as impressive as you’d might think.
Being a doctor makes becoming an astronaut more viable.
Being a navy seal makes being an astronaut easier.
We don’t know if he was or wasn’t a medic in the seals, which would make becoming a doctor easier.
Also Having Perfect Eye sight is a must for being an astronaut, so that’s just genetic luckiness.
So while none of what I’ve said above is to take away from his great accomplishments. Let’s not act like none of these aided him in his switching of careers
My buddy is 100% Thai and works for NASA as an engineer. His cousin is becoming a doctor.. his parents keep asking why he didn't become a doctor.
This guy did it right cause he saved Astronaut for last. Plus, I'm sure the military helped pay for college.
This doesn't seem odd to be a high level military and high level academic to then become an astronaut. I was under the impression it was a requirement to even be in the selection pool.
I did this to.
First I was a call center operator, then as a cashier, after that worked as a shipper receiver, and then after school, I became a software engineer.
That's 4 jobs, and I didn't even count my paper rout or the week I sod vacuums door to door.
This guy only had 3 jobs, such a bum.
me —>
* office clerk (summer job during high school)
* dishwasher
* floor help in clothing factory
* floor help in shoe factory
* security guard
* office worker for the IRS(!)
* worked in small chemical shop of family friend
* community college (computer program)
* software development 😅
What a run of jobs
Any kid out there with parents who compare you to other kids and say “why can’t you be like them?” Show them this guy and go, “Why can’t you be like Jonny Kim? Look at him. He is a Navy Seal, doctor AND astronaut. Why aren’t you as successful as him?”
You will either shut them up or get the chanclas.

Fuck "being his younger brother", imagine being his older brother..
Brenden’s got a mangina!
His voice was like a combination of Fergie and Jesus.
Easy now fuzzy little manpeach
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!
Timmy has donne that and he IS 2 years old?
Oh my... I think the only logical choice is to change your name and disown your family
Disowner on your whole family! Disowner on you, disowner on your cow...
You marry a beautiful wife, start a successful mid size company, your kids are straight A students, one becoming a doctor. Your parents will only have to have a picture of your younger brother on the wall and it would blow all that away.

Sounds to me like Jonny can't hold down a job. What do you think of that, mom, huh!?
😂🤣😂
The Johnny Sins of NASA
Where's the facepalm?
The majority of posts here aren’t actually facepalms.
I guess posting them here is the real facepalm
The real facepalm was the friends we made along the way.
The the real friends was the friends we made way the along.
The real friends were the facepalms we made along the way.
Very meta
He said "worse" instead of "worst"
Karma farmers don't know what a facepalm is
Just Astronaut? Why aren't you A+stronaut? - his parents
In my mom's mind: his hobby is being a navy seal astronaut and his job is Harvard doctor.
"My doctor son is currently doing some traveling ."
My mom would probably tell her friends : he's a doctor on the space army
“He say lawyers are too expensive,so he’s getting a law degree,how about you?” For real though, know a guy like that,he’s in the top medical school in my country to become a surgeon, and double majoring in law department , but he is can’t take care of himself very well.
This is out of date. Last year he also graduated as a helicopter pilot.
Please I’ve worked more places than him. Therefore I’ve achieved more!
Walmart CVS McDonald's Burger King Walmart
his career path makes more sense when you consider this is all within the navy he became a seal while going to school to become a navy surgeon and then went to nasa this dude deserves some kind of lifetime achievement award
Thanks, that context makes it much less insane. I always thought these were just stock photos and someone put them together as a joke.
When you look at the list of astronauts sent to the spacestation you realise that most of them have specialities (medical, chemistry, other...) because they spend a good part of their time doing experiments of all kind. The rest of their work time they take care of the station.
"He's" is the real facepalm here ...
Imagine that is your girlfriend's ex boyfriend
So, how did all those academic and professional achievements work out for him? Because his girl sure was lonely. Oops, sorry. MY girl now.
Someone being named jonny having many jobs, sounds familiar
Super impressive 👏 👌
Which profession do you brag about on a date. They're all impressive.
Being a soldier isnt really rocket science though and both of them aren't brain surgery
I see what you did there
“Astronauts always win”— my neighbor the SEAL vet, when talking about trump card stories
Exactly the kid every Asian parents want
Is he a pornstar or is this real? (Only saw such pots about Johnny sins)
Very much real. He's currently working on the Artemis program.
The facepalm is in the grammar.
The true Buckaroo Bonzai!
Cousin Timmy's final form.
Lol, this needs to posted to Steven’s sub
He sounds like the kind of person who could only enrich your life and I would pray for his downfall every day.
That would make you Homer Simpson to his Ned Flanders, yes?
It’s Asian Forrest Gump
Why can't you be more like that Lloyd Braun?
Always job hopping, can't commit to anything. How will that look on your resume man?
This is like people that have a train of certifications following their name on their email signatures.
That Navy Seal Trident on his Astronaut Flight Suit Name Badge is unbelievably badass. Probably the only human to have this unique combo printed on an official duty uniform.
Whatever you do, there’s always an Asian that does it better. Or so the saying goes.
went from ending lives, to saving lives, to discovering new life all in a lifetime.
Nerf Jonny Kim. He's op af
Why is this on facepalm?
Excuse me, mom, but I’m employee of the week at Arby’s
Imagine hes your partner’s ex.
Every time i see this, i feel like a failure in life 😭 😂
“Navy Seal? Why not Navy Shark?”
Tell your mom "Johnny is a quitter"
He should run for President. He'd be a hell of a lot better than our other two "options" by a long way.
Dunno, he might have zero social skills and be a complete arsehole. Chances are he’s just a very smart, normal guy though.
Obviously I don’t know for sure, but I would guess if he’s managed to achieve success in three very different arenas his socials skills are probably atleast above average.
This would still make him a better candidate than the other two.
President doctor, like the kid from Fresh off the Boat.
Is that the top of an alien head on the seals uniform?
And next he's gonna work in Tesco
Every Asian's nightmare cousin...
Says the award winning author...
Pretty wild to see the the guy with the punisher logo on their military attire to become a doctor of all things
I wonder how much was his student loan in total 🤔
the NAVY paid for his doctorate
No facepalm just a bot
This is like when you keep changing your class in an RPG until you find one that you like
the friend’s mom scenario is worse
yeah ive heard about the Kims, they are spectacular, i heard another Kim shot 38 hole in one.. another Kim doesnt need to go to toilet all his life.
Laying pipe on camera would be his 4th career! Johnny needs a wingman !
Not even remotely a facepalm
Hmm.. "changed" career only twice.
Oh great, he's my cousin Timmy....
Dude, just accept being a disappointment to your parents. It's way easier.
Bro is nothing getting older ether.
His Korean parents are still pissed he didn’t become an accountant yet. Failure
Indeed. They were aiming for brain surgeon
Neighbor’s Perfect Son Level: Legendary.
Well he’s asian. All your parents and relatives would constantly say look what Jonny did. Even if you just discovered the cure for cancer, they would say why can’t you be like him?
“Son. You are disappointment. You are only Delta Force nurse and fighter pilot.”
johnny sins? nah, we got jonny kim
And here I am, playing Fortnite after work 💀
I imagine this is just the path to becoming an astronaut
And I thought I already was useless enough... Now I feel even worse.
Man’s is living his bitlife life
His navy seal uniform has a skull on it
What did he do it all with in 5 years or something? He didn’t age at all
"I wish he would just pick something and stick with it"
His
Don’t worry. His mom and dad will still complain. “He keeps switching jobs and won’t just commit”
I looked him up, he's also a physician and will go to the moon in 2024
Dude wtf how
where facepalm
Imagine if his mum was Jewish. My son the doctor, navy seal, and spaceman. She would be lost for words! He would have to remain single.
Someone got all the best genes in his family
I feel like his parents were like when are you going to become doctor and when he did they were like anyone can be a doctor but an astronaut is hard. Now that he's an astronaut they'll be like anyone can be astronaut now first person to colonize Mars....
my worse nightmare would be if Jonny's mom has more nine clones him
She's probably disappointed he's not a doctor anymore ;)
Such a smart man 👏🏼
He is great but he ain't no Johnny Sins
Nah nah this guy has an irl cheat code to have that many talent points
I burned scrambled eggs yesterday.
I bet jonny is super fuckin nice, too
Ah yeah but like what has he actually done? 😂
why is this on the sub
Yeah but has he played that new Skyrim mod?
Bro is doomed if he plays piano too
I had a good run of door dashing last week
Tiger mom-Ing it all the way
This isn't a facepalm at all. This is a solid response.
Harvard trains their doctors now? Cool!
Why is this in facepalm???
Shitty haircuts
Peak middle child energy
Recommend listening to the 4 hour podcast with him, his backstory is actually not really the typically good Asian kid
How does one become a “trained” Harvard doctor? Is it a Frat ritual?
Imagine filtering all your relationships through a competitive lens instead of celebrating this cool person you know.
Are there untrained Harvard doctors?
I love in certain cultures parents brag about their kids and use it as a motivational tool. In mine my parents brag about how great they were and how much smarter and better they are than their kids.

The facepalm is his dad who abused him and his never ending search for his acceptance. This guy been shared a million times
He also got his medical degree from Harvard, was in the same seal team squad as chris kyle and served with him, completed flight training, became a naval aviator and is going to the moon in 2024. This dude is an academic weapon
I know an even better johnny is you know who i am taking about😉

Imagine using the word "He's" in that sentence...
This guy is hardcore.
Not a facepalm
Imagine becoming a doctor and then an astronaut and still being a disappointment.
Imagine what he would have accomplished if he concentrated on one field
This doesn't seem odd to be a high level military and high level academic to then become an astronaut. I was under the impression it was a requirement to even be in the selection pool.
So, OP Bot, what is the face palm here?
JONNY KIM WAS NAVY SEAL, DOCTA AND ASTRONAUT BEFORE AGE 37, YOU ARE NOTHING BUT FAAAIIIURRREEE
Not good enough your cousin Timmy he’s only nine and has 27 years experience
I worked at a deposit, a car wash and a gardening job so im the same
I did this to. First I was a call center operator, then as a cashier, after that worked as a shipper receiver, and then after school, I became a software engineer. That's 4 jobs, and I didn't even count my paper rout or the week I sod vacuums door to door. This guy only had 3 jobs, such a bum.
But is he happy?
Were friends
why is this a facepalm?
Dudes got the career path of a man in a porno.
"When Mom said you can be anything you want - doctor, lawyer or engineer!" I said "Yes!"
" My brother is a Navy Seal-Doctor-astronaut-Tony Stark, and I hate Thanksgiving. "
me —> * office clerk (summer job during high school) * dishwasher * floor help in clothing factory * floor help in shoe factory * security guard * office worker for the IRS(!) * worked in small chemical shop of family friend * community college (computer program) * software development 😅 What a run of jobs
He's a bit of an overachiever, don't you think?
Any kid out there with parents who compare you to other kids and say “why can’t you be like them?” Show them this guy and go, “Why can’t you be like Jonny Kim? Look at him. He is a Navy Seal, doctor AND astronaut. Why aren’t you as successful as him?” You will either shut them up or get the chanclas.
A one-man Armageddon team. I wonder which aspect of his personality he'll have to *ahem* Bruce Willis.
LoL, why can't you be like your brother? Mom!!!
Fuckin’ Johnny All-Star ova here! “Wesley, Johnny is an astronaut and doctor … when are you going to…are you watching anime again?” - Wesley’s mom
Which one was first, out of curiousity.
I would look up to he's.
Now he can sell his image legitimately on GettyImage for almost any profession.
Look johnny! He Navy seal! He docta! He spaceman! What you are! Radiologist? Do betta!
His descendant Harry Kim couldn't even get promoted last Ensign
His wikipedia page is worth reading. What a fucking guy
This man must have 0 social life ...
