It'd be too easy to write off everyone as stupid. Obviously, there are incredibly intelligent, critically-minded people in the world who are a pleasure to talk to, to gain insight, and to learn from. However, as we're all aware, not everyone is like this and there are some real dummies out there.

Just take a gander at the encounters below and count your blessings you haven't met anyone this stupid.


Reddit user, u/mememansand, wanted to know the dumbest of the dumb when they asked:

What's the most outright stupid thing somebody has said to you?

Isn't Space Wonderful?

Giphy

"Did you know the moon isn't the back of the sun"

From a 30ish year old woman who was also an assistant manager of where I worked at the time.

BrutalNutritionist

Yeah. Sure.

"You can't date a boy if you're bisexual, that would make you gay!"

Uhm, yeah sure.

When Someone Denies Video Proof, You Can't Win

When I was a kid, we had this babysitter/nanny. Because her house was closer to the school than ours and she was kind of an old lady, we often went to her house after school rather than go home because it was easier. Her husband was retired, taught me and my siblings to play chess, sometimes made pancakes, fixed our bikes, really nice setting.

And then one day, we were talking about how this astronaut came home, André Kuipers. And I said something about how your muscles get weaker after spending years and years in a zero gravity environment because you arent using them as actively. He denied every single word. No, not because he thought they had artificial gravity, he didn't believe unused muscles get weaker. Despite video images of the astronaut after returning home, sitting in one of those wheelchairs that also support your head. He just kept repeating "no thats not true" without and kind of explanation of why he thought so.

And then when I said he heart is a muscle too he got angry and stormed out. Still don't know why.

It's As If You Were Born Here

I got told once that I seemed like I was born in the United States and that my English was almost perfect. And she was very sure that I was one of the "good ones"

Plot twist: I'm Salvadoran, and I was born in the United States and my majors are criminal justice and accounting. English is my first language

His Last Name Was Francesca?

In my grade 10 history class, the girl who sat next to me turned to me and asked "What was Hitler's last name?"

I thought she was just kidding so I laughed. She kept staring at me waiting for an answer.

"Oh, you're seriously asking."

Guess He's An "Ex" For A Reason

An ex boyfriend was livid that I was spending a lot of time with my best friend from high school, who is a gay man. ExBF explained that all penises are really straight, but it's the brain that tells someone they're gay.

Also, that gay men who are nice to women can't possibly really be gay, since they have no use for women.

Sigh, Good Night Dad. Just, Good Night.

Last night my dad (who got all of this information from facebook) told me:

When the "vaccine" comes ot, dont get it. Trump and gates developed 'the current pandemic' to get people to buy the vaccine. But inside the vaccine is a skew number that will transmit your information, like your name, location, and what car you drive, ect, to the authorities. Thats why Gates invented 5G, cause the skew number will run off that

Me: W-Wha..... Ya know, its not even worth arguing, night dad

I really wish i was joking

That's Not...That's Not How That Works.

No, No The Science Checks Out On That One

Before the quarantine, when the pandemic wasn't very severe where I live, someone told me they wouldn't get the virus because they don't have an immune system. According to them, only people with immune systems could get the virus.

Get This Man A Ruler

When asked how tall he was he said "5 feet and 12 inches."

( For those of you in countries that use sensible measurement systems, this is kind of like saying "1 meter and 100 centimeters")

Once when asked how long something would take, he said "20 minutes... 15 at the most."

Get This Man A Biology Book

A 20-something gamer dude I game online with once told me that women urinate out of their vaginas. He kept saying "What!?" while I laughed myself to death.

Maybe The Answer Is More Obvious Than You Might Think

This is more a case of running stupidity than an instance of it:

My college roommate developed a habit of drinking at least 4 PBRs a day, or triple that plus shots if she was partying. After about 6 months of this, her stomach was (not surprisingly) always f-cked up. Never had a solid sh-t.

She spent another 2 months self diagnosing and cutting gluten and dairy from her diet, with no success. (Switched from PBR to all-day margaritas.) Went to doctors, no success. I eventually asked her if she thought her alcohol intake could be upsetting her stomach and she just stared at the ceiling for 10sec and matter-o-factly said "No."

Today (3yrs later) she still claims to have intolerance to lactose and gluten, but eats pizza once a week. Still has daily margs. She's learned to live with "her intolerances."

Good. So Long As That Line Has Been Made Exceptionally Clear

My friend who I worked with and is ~40 thinks dinosaurs are fake. He also went on a legitimate "Squach-hunt" a few years back.

I'm trying to be clear here:

Dinosaur fossils are part of the museum/geologist agenda. Big Foot and Sasquatch are a present-day threat.

Harrison Ford Is irradiating our testicles with microwave transmissions!

Vaccines are the mark of the beast and Bill Gates is trying to inject microchips in people. Or my neighbor who says sea level rise isn't real because ice occupies more volume than water, as if all the ice is currently in the water

Born Is Born Is Born

Someone who will remain unidentified said that I didn't really give birth to my firstborn because c sections don't count, they're the easy way out.

It was an emergency c section because the umbilical cord was getting compressed with every push, after a 56 hour labour with inducing and back labour. 12 years later, the scar still aches if I exercise and my menstrual cramps focus along the scar line. Right. The easy way.

Marco Rubio Awkwardly Dodges Question About Kimberly Guilfoyle's Blatant Corruption—As She's Standing Just Feet Away

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was criticized after he shut down a question about former Fox News host and current U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle following a Wall Street Journal report alleging that she engaged in illegal conduct.

The WSJ reported that Guilfoyle asked Eric Deters, a Trump donor and former congressional candidate, to cover $100,000 in credit card debt before her Senate confirmation hearings. The report said she contacted him through Signal, pressing him to arrange the payment that day and explaining how to send the funds directly to American Express.

Artist Brutally Rips Trump With Naked 'Orange Plague' Sculpture In European Parliament

President Donald Trump has finally received the golden treatment in Europe, although the 8.5-foot-tall naked statue now towering inside the European Parliament probably isn't the tribute he had in mind.

Unveiled in Strasbourg, France, the 23-karat-gold-coated sculpture depicts Trump perched on the shoulders of a smaller, visibly burdened man, clutching an oversized golf club in one hand and the scales of justice in the other.

Woman Sparks Debate After Sharing The Signs That You Have A 'Loser Boyfriend' In Viral Videos

Every person who chooses to date will have a list of wished-for traits, attractive traits, and of course, dealbreakers that would likely end the relationship either immediately or, at least, eventually.

TikToker @maddie_bado shared a series on TikTok called "Signs of a Loser Boyfriend," which she believes more women should be aware of so that they can make the most informed decision about what they are gaining from their relationship and whether their partner is able to give them what they want, and vice versa.
