These People Were A Little Too Confident For Their Own Good
The only thing worse than being flat out wrong is being flat out wrong after you were so convinced that you would be right. These people were way too confident in their incorrectness. Now all of that bravado and idiocy is on the internet forever for everyone to see.
Keep reading to see some people who probably should have just kept their mouths shut. Sometimes it's better to say nothing at all — especially when you don't have anything factual to say.
The Thing About Milk...
This girl seems to think that milk is misogynistic because farmers only take it from girl cows.
Honey, listen to me when I say you don't want to be drinking milk from boy cows.
A Biology Lesson
This person made a very heated post about dolphins not being mammals when, in fact, dolphins are mammals.
They breathe air and they give birth to live young so... they're mammals.
The Wrong "You're"
Actually, sir Ben Franklin, if that is your real name, Stephen King was absolutely right on this one.
That was the correct use of "your." "You're" means "you are," as in, "you are dumb."
That's Not How Percentages Work
You can't just add up percentages like that. Really if we assume that each gender makes up half of the population, you would have to divide that number in half.
That's a lot of dirty hands.
Not A Crucifix
Just so all of you guys are fully aware, a cervix and a crucifix are not the same things at all.
This guy must not have been listening to his girlfriend at all because these two words would never be used in the same context.
Not The Right Word
Just so we're all aware, amphibious means that you spend part of your life in the water and part on land. You know, like a frog.
The word they were looking for was ambidextrous.
That's Not What This Is For
You're telling me that this person has been using a toilet brush in place of toilet paper?
This has to be a joke, right? Nobody in their right mind would actually be this stupid...
Canada Is In North America
Do Americans really think that Canada is not in North America? These people do know that North America is a continent, right? I mean, I hope they do.
These people should really brush up on their world geography.
Frankenstein's Monster
Yes, Frankenstein was the name of the doctor, not the monster. That's why the monster is Frankenstein's monster.
But this joke still makes sense with all of that information. Check yourself.
Not The Same Person
This one really has me cackling. Mariah Carey and Marie Curie are definitely not the same person.
Mariah Carey wishes that she were Marie Curie. This is mansplaining at its finest.
A Very Reliable Source
I think that Disney's Hercules is a pretty great source of entertainment, but it's not a very accurate historical source.
There's more to the Greek gods than can be depicted in an animated children's movie.
That's Not Milk
I'm not sure why this person's mom put a huge container of Elmer's School Glue in the fridge.
As far as I know, this product works perfectly well at room temperature.
University Rivalries
Clearly, there is a strong rivalry between UOttawa and Carleton University. It looks like UOttawa won this round.
We'll have to see what happens in the next few matchups to decide who the true winner is.
Colors And Shapes
Just in case you didn't go to kindergarten, I'll let you know right now that there's a difference between colors and shapes. Blue is a color and a star is a shape.
However, both of these people are wrong. Have you ever heard of blackberries?
The Plural Of Prince
Okay, I can't help but laugh at this one. Princes is literally the plural of prince. They aren't calling themselves princesses.
This person needs to learn how to read English. Wow.
Basic Math
Sorry to break it to you, man, but simple math doesn't work that way. If someone was born in 2010 they would be 8 years old in 2018.
This guy got called out and he still stuck to his guns.
The Wrong Year
This person thinks that he's correcting a counting error, but in reality, he's the one who's wrong.
We do actually count backward when discussing the years before the common era.
The Wrong Hipster
This guy got mad because he thought that this publication used a photo of him in their article about how all hipsters look the same.
It turned out that it was a photo of somebody else.
Bad Takes All Around
First of all, imagine thinking that women are incapable of commenting on sports, as if women's sports didn't exist.
Second of all, imagine trying to come back at someone mockingly only to be the incorrect one.
We Are, Actually, The Same
Sure, the United Kingdom may no longer be a part of the European Union, but it is definitely still located within the continent of Europe.
Pack up your tea and crumpets, kiddo.
This Is All Just So Wrong
She was so sure of herself...
I've read this over and over, and all I can think is that Rachel should have spent more time in class paying attention to the spelling lessons on the chalkboard.
Sweetie, Please Just Look At A Map
You don't have to be a geography expert to know that Italy, Spain, and Greece are all countries in Europe.
My question is: what does this person think Europe consists of? Just England and France?
The Original Post Asked If People Would Take Chemo After A Cancer Diagnosis...
Doctors all over the world must feel so silly!
This whole time they have been trying to heal patients of cancer using all these difficult methods, when feeding them carrots and water would have done the trick!
Trust Me, You Could Not Handle A Hard One
To me, there are few things funnier than someone who is so wrong and still thinks that they are so much smarter than everyone else.
You need an easier one, if anything.
The List Keeps Going
This guy has his shorts in a knot because of Pride, and he thinks that veterans also deserve a month-long celebration (and is more likely than not a homophobe as well).
A commenter totally dunked on him by listing the many days and many ways in which veterans are honored. And especially for reminding him that only he is stoking this flame.
They Couldn't Be More Wrong
It's true that not every country uses the dollar sign for its currency — but of all the symbols that are used to denote currency, the dollar sign is by far the most prevalent.
It's a weird thing to gatekeep, but this person seems determined to do so.
Get Used To Frunks
I have some sympathy for this person, because the concept of 'frunks' isn't well known at this point.
That said, it takes about three seconds to realize that it's clearly a portmanteau of 'front' and 'trunk.'
It's A Hard Word To Spell Wrong
If you're ever tripped up by this word and vacillate between 'paycheck' and 'paycheque,' here's some good news: They're both correct!
Then again, maybe we should defer to the person who apparently took a class to learn how to spell the word.
Those Extra Zeroes Are Hard
As someone who's embarrassingly bad at math, I can relate to making a simple mistake like this.
Then again, as someone who's embarrassingly bad at math, I also don't go out of my way to try to correct people about math.
When You Argue With A Bot
I don't have much patience for these preachy, pedantic bots that correct minor errors even though the meaning of the sentence was always clear.
But here's the thing: If a bot corrects you, don't engage with it. There's no point in arguing with a bot.
Burned By Ikea
Alright, Ikea didn't lay down the sickest burn or anything, but their social media person did definitively shut this conversation down.
If you're able to point to a literal U.S. code on flag positioning as your justification, it's a good sign that you're in the right.
It's Math, You Kind Of Have To Agree
Look, sometimes the numbers don't work in your favor. Sometimes, you're just wrong.
I absolutely love this person's line of rhetoric. They're proven entirely wrong, and it isn't even subjective. They sort of concede in a way that indicates they don't fully believe in math.
Exactly 1:1 With Communism
Ever since the Cold War, people have been calling things that they don't like "communism."
Communism is a real thing, and indeed, some things are similar to communism. But late stage capitalism is absolutely not the same thing as communism.
Man, Those Farmers Must Be Dumb
I sincerely hope this person is a troll, because the alternative explanation is that they're profoundly dumb.
This is kind of like asking why Lego needs a factory to make their bricks when they could just buy them from a store like everybody else.
Microsoft Wins
Saying that Microsoft 'harvests' data for the NSA is a weird way to put things, but yeah, companies do collect our data all the time.
This would be a borderline astute observation if not for the rest of what they said. I like how XBox is just some amorphous company and not a Microsoft product, in their eyes.
Math Will Always Be Hard
The logic here, I think, is that 1 is indeed less than 1.6. This is correct, but we're not comparing numbers, we're converting units of measurement.
I guess we know what this person will do if they ever encounter a situation like that shown in the cartoon.
Uh...Guys?
If you buy your food straight from the source, you're cutting out the middleman.
If Trader Joe's buys their food straight from the source, then you buy the food from Trader Joe's, what does that make Trader Joe's?
Hung Up On Technicalities
Alright, Wales is kind of a unique case — as part of the United Kingdom, it isn't a sovereign state. But it is undeniably a country.
Both of these people could have avoided the argument if they'd just used Google.
Really Makes You Think
Because of physics, it does indeed take some time for the sun's light to reach us here on Earth.
This person is juuust a bit off on their calculations, though. It takes a little over eight minutes — not 11 years — for sunlight to reach us.
Speaking Of The Sun...
The Mandela Effect has caused innumerable people to believe in a weird alternate version of the past.
This is what happens when you combine the Mandela Effect with, uh, Sun truthers? This is a whole line of thinking I wasn't even aware of.
How Do Trees Work?
This commenter seems to believe that 'rubber tree' refers to a tree that's literally made out of rubber.
Imagine how thoroughly their mind will be blown when they realize apple trees aren't made out of apples.
Science!
This person thinks that if blood is flowing out of the body, it prevents anything bad from entering the body.
They seem to think that if you're bleeding, nothing bad can happen to you, which is a little bit off-base.
Red Blood Cells Aren't Real Cells?
It's one thing to be completely wrong about something, but it's another thing to be so confident in this assumption that you bust out the AHAHAHAHAHAH.
I'm not going to pretend I know much about biology, but I'm pretty sure red blood cells are, in fact, cells.
It's Called Biology
We don't know everything about the body's various mechanisms, but I'm pretty sure "number of ribs" is a mystery that was solved a few thousand years ago.
Who knows, maybe we should Google it. Apparently we've known for 'a pretty long time' that men are straight-up missing ribs.
Space Is An Inside Job
Here's another one where, even if you can't break down the exact science, you kind of know that this person is wrong.
I mean, if space is fake, who faked it? To what end?
