There are some people in this world that are not ready for life. These people can make some pretty ridiculous mistakes that make you wonder how they have been living on this planet for so long. Nobody is immune to doing this either, but some people are just so especially dopey that it's truly shocking. One person on Twitter who goes by -1000IQ has collected the best of these moments on his page, and we wanted to share with you a collection of some of the best ones. If you want to see just how silly some people can be, check out these pictures below.
Spelling Mistakes
We're gonna start off with something light. Before we get into the ones that are too ridiculous to be true, we think a good appetizer would be laughing at someone's use of words. This is a perfect example to show just how dumb some people can be (ironically or not) because it can only get worse from here. So if you think this is silly, just wait until you see what's coming.
It's pretty funny when people don't realize they are making sense of some words by using similar-sounding words. She's probably pretty young, or maybe not fluent in English, so we can't exactly blame her.
Do We Know Each Other
On the other hand, this is something we just can't wrap our heads around. It literally took us actual minutes to understand what's going on in this chat and we know this dude has no excuse. We don't want to spoil what they're trying to say until you take a look at it yourself, but we wish you the best of luck and try not to spend too long on it.
Do you get it yet? They're trying to say "familiar". We didn't even get it when they said that last part. You have to say it really quickly before it makes sense.
Was the Titanic Real
If you have ever lived on this earth, chances are you know what the Titanic was. And if you know the Titanic, you know the movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio or vice versa. Whatever the case, pretty much everyone who knows the name knows the story and that it was based on true events. The sinking of the Titanic was one of the biggest tragedies in American history. One guy didn't get the memo.
We really hope he's kidding too. We don't know how you can see the Titanic and not know it's real unless you're a kid who hasn't learned about it yet.
And What Was It Called
You have to be some type of special to think that the movie "Titanic" was pure fiction, but it takes something else to then ask those around you what the name of the ship in the movie is. Like, how can you possibly watch the movie, know that it is based on a true story, but not know enough about the history to know the name of the ship itself?!
Isn't the name the first thing they teach people about it? It would be understandable if the event wasn't famous since the name could simply be a reference to the size of the ship, but come one, people.
Not Vegan
There's a long-standing joke that vegans seem to want everyone to know they're vegan and that they love to talk about it all the time. Whether or not that's true, there's one thing that everyone knows: vegans don't eat meat. It's not some trend like people who go gluten-free for no reason, it's an actual dietary choice. But maybe there are some people who didn't really understand that.
No. No, you don't exist. We feel like this person was trying to be cool with their labels, but that just doesn't make any sense at all. That's not even vegetarian.
Nobody Turns 0 Years Old
Have you ever gone out to shop for a birthday? Do you know those candles that people sometimes use that let you write the year in numbers? We all know that they come individually so that you can write any age that someone might be. But if you have ever wondered why they are only numbered from 0 to 9, then you would probably be like this guy here:
Besides, even if they did sell every number, where would they stop? And where would they find the room to hang all of them? The solution is literally in the picture!
NFL Is Really Old
In America, you would think everyone knows at least a little bit about politics. Specifically, you only have to have taken a couple of lessons in elementary school to remember that the president can change every four years. With as little information as that, you can already get a pretty good estimation of how long we have had presidents. At the very least, you'd know the minimum amount of years...
The Super Bowl happens every year! This girl looks way too old to not know that we don't change presidents every year. Heck, forget the elementary school lesson, didn't she literally live through at least two? The date of this post would mean she's had to see another one coming.
Credit Scam
There are so many types of scams out there and they always try to take exploit your ignorance to get what they want. But they usually try to be a bit less obvious about it. That's why we know that this person isn't actually trying to scam anybody, but let's be real;' they could if they wanted to. All it took was a little bit of creativity and someone really gullible.
We didn't want to believe it, but there really are people out there that fall for this sort of thing. It is a really good joke, but be careful everyone.
Xbox Kids
Speaking of scamming people, you might want to make sure that you have all of your facts straight when you attempt such a thing. And maybe not be a literal child. Here we see the attempted hijacking of someone's Xbox Live account. You can tell they're a kid because they can't spell and because the only people who would both admit they're hacking you and fall for this person's trick is a child.
Kids don't usually realize that taking someone's username and password is definitely a crime, and they're also super gullible. They probably also wouldn't notice when the guy just resets his password.
Just Drink It
Everyone knows how drowning works, right? There's just too much water and no air around so you end up inhaling all of the water instead, to put it mildly. Well, it turns out there's a perfect solution to that! We have no idea why we hadn't thought of this before, but apparently, you can just drink all the water! But we can't take all the credit. That goes to a user named zamzam on Twitter.
Lol, right? Like, whoops, we all forgot! This has got to be one of the greatest attempts we've seen at someone trying to show off their intelligence. A real knee-slapper, that one.
The Dryer Isn't for Everything
This one is, well, we don't even know what to say. It could be some sort of joke, but then again, would anyone really break their plate (and maybe a dryer) for a joke? If this is for real then we really have no words for this one. But they do have a point. Maybe we should just call them "clothes dryers" so no one gets confused and tries this.
There is something that may help, though. It's called a dishwasher and by the time you take those dishes out the next morning, they'll have been both washed and dried.
Umbrellas Are for Babies
We do this thing as a society where we seem to deem certain things as childish, like watching cartoons and playing with action figures. While some don't necessarily want to make distinctions between, say cartoons and adult animated shows or playing pretend with dolls and collecting figurines, we all have to admit that certain things are probably, objectively, childish depending on how you use them. Apparently, that extends to umbrellas?
Like, what? Not everybody likes to get wet. You don't become an adult and suddenly not care about the rain. This isn't like using arm floaties in the pool, it's an umbrella!
It's Spelled
Sometimes jokes just fly way over people's heads. You'd think that, eventually, the same old jokes would get old and everyone would know them, but it turns out that there's always that certain someone who doesn't realize they're being fooled. These are the people who never understand jokes unless they're literally told beforehand that they're going to be told one. What would you respond with if someone sent you this?
We think we would chuckle a little and then move on or maybe even send a joke back. But not so for this guy. At the very least, it's good to know we have more dad-joke targets!
Sanded Tires
Admittedly, it's probably not common knowledge to know why wheels are shaped the way they are and laden with grooves. But it's super important to know, so simply put they allow for more traction on the road, especially when it's wet outside. With worn-down tires, your car will have a hard time staying in control at higher speeds. We've never tried it, but we think they'd be pretty dangerous already going more than a snail's pace.
Not gonna lie, that was a pretty smooth way to tell someone they're stupid. Honestly, who would ever mess with their tires like that? If you want smoother driving, get shock absorbers.
Dying to Prove a Point
Some people try too hard to prove their point. This kid went so far as to lock himself in a hot car for more than 30 minutes to try to prove that it's really no big deal and, we guess, to justify locking dogs and babies in a hot car? We're not exactly sure why he was doing this, but there are a lot of holes in his argument there.
First of all, he looks like he's dying. Second of all, babies can't regulate their temperatures like adults do and dogs and babies aren't as big. Don't be this stupid.
Probably Dying
We all know how important it is to have alarms in our house, right? Not just security alarms, but smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Sure, it can be annoying when you burn something and your whole house starts blaring noise, but that's why there's a reset button. It would be terrible if your food caught fire and turned your house into ashes. We can't stress it enough how important they a--
This is unreal. It's exactly what we were just talking about! We hate to alarm you, Ruthe, but you probably feel that way due to monoxide poisoning. Hopefully, she's joking...
Marinara
Remember how we were saying that people replace words they are learning (or are hard to pronounce) with other, similar-sounding words that they are familiar with? Well, we actually love to see what people think they are saying when they speak and people reveal it all the time when they log into their social media. In fact, this next one is also a case of getting words mixed up.
Yes, we sure do love some marinara. Too bad it had been illegal for quite some time because it really makes a nice pasta and pizza sauce... get it? Because they're the same word?
Cancer Free
There is a certain way to respond when someone announces that they have finally beaten cancer. The journeys that people go through to cure themselves of the disease can be so difficult that it's impossible to imagine it ourselves. So when you've beaten it, we have no doubt that most people just want to scream and jump for joy, and the whole world should too. Just be sure you are up to speed with the situation.
We honestly have no earthly reason why anyone would think of the zodiac sign before they think of the horrible disease that plagues humankind. That guy's probably hitting himself over the head thinking the same thing.
The Test
We're actually not sure who is the moron in this one. The way it's worded can really twist the story in any way. The first thing we thought while reading this was that the person posting it was explaining how ignorant their friend is, but judging by the handle and the prediction they made an argument could be made that they don't understand pregnancy tests themselves. Just take a look:
For real, which one of these two doesn't know that pregnancy tests don't tell you how many kids there are? We certainly hope it's not the one taking the test.
Too Much Pain
Okay, this next one's gonna hurt. There are some people in this world that are just too ignorant about some things that they manage to surprise us at how much they don't know. In fact, we'd gather that most of the people in the United States know how to clean a toilet. Well, apparently, there's a person out there who doesn't know how to clean their toilet, let alone their own behind.
It says it right there in the name! It's like how "toothbrush" means a brush for teeth--a toilet brush is literally a toilet brush, not a butt brush!! How can you even think otherwise?!
Only 2020 Years Old
We've been on this planet for a long time. Well, maybe not us specifically, but the creatures of this planet and humankind, in general, has a long history to it. There was always something alive once the Earth spawned life, and even if humans weren't around forever, the Earth certainly feel like it. And science is really good at telling us how long it's been around. But some people don't get it.
Also, we all know that A.D. and C.E. stand for "after death" and "common era" respectively. That implies there were years before as well. Has he really never studied any ancient history?
Forgot About Dead People
The history of medicine is a long one. If it wasn't for that long history, we wouldn't have the medicine and technologies that we do today. That being said, medical aid in the past wasn't exactly the best, but they certainly had a certain understanding of the human body to allow them to treat other people. But some might ask how they were able to accomplish anything at all with their limited knowledge.
Considering everyone passes at some point, we have a feeling it wasn't ever really that hard to study human anatomy. Understanding it is one thing, but observing is pretty easy.
Trying Really Hard
Sometimes your car breaks down and the only hope is for you to push it to the repair shop or back home. You've may have had to do this before. When in neutral, it's pretty easy to get a car moving. With a few people, pushing the car wherever it needs to go shouldn't be all that hard. That is, of course, as long as you know what you're doing.
It certainly doesn't help to think that you can push something while standing on it. Or maybe this was his way of getting out of doing any work that day.
Where Is San Francisco
Did you know that there are actually some people who think big cities are states? Chicago, New York, San Fransico, and many more big cities are often confused as states by people, but it is only normal when that person has never been to the US. But there are also people here that don't even know the geography well themselves and they end up making stupid mistakes like this:
Honestly, we'd also be surprised if she was able to get into college after this. We had to learn states and capitals in order to pass 4th grade. Everything else in the US is just a city.
Also Where Is New York
But what's perhaps worse than thinking a city is a state is this next fail. It may be hard to believe that people aren't so familiar with geography in the country they are born, but if we're being fair, New York is a difficult one because the city and the state are both named the same thing. But in this case, it seems the girl simply didn't realize that New York is even in America.
And then she went ahead and doubled down on her ignorance by showing off her "geology" skills. That is, by the way, the study of rocks, not the locations on earth.
Asking Rhetorically
Sometimes you don't even expect someone to have a negative IQ moment until the minute you interact with them. In this post, one person asked the public what a specific acronym meant. But when someone answered him, he took it in the wrong way. As it turns out, the meaning of the word was actually the perfect response to the question, so it seems he got a little turned around.
This feels like a "who's on first" situation. You would think, though, that he might have checked to see if the letters matched up to what he said, considering he asked the question.
Please Delay the Sun
It would be so nice if everyone were able to schedule themselves around each other. We would be able to do anything we wanted whenever we wanted and not have to worry about missing out on things. Unfortunately, that's not the way the world works. but it doesn't seem like everyone is fine with that. In fact, she seems to want to be so in control that even nature bows to her.
There's no way she could actually think that this could be rescheduled. This party is very clearly about a natural event that only happens occasionally. There is no way to reschedule this!
Hand Socks
We have so many different kinds of clothing choices these days. If there is a part of the body you need to cover, there's definitely something out there for you. We even have those fancy earmuffs that everyone loves to wear in the winter to keep their ears from falling off. So you would think that we could have something like socks for our hands to keep them warm too.
Of course, then you would realize you need some gloves. But apparently, that is not good enough for some people. Forget gloves, we want to wear socks on our hands!
Shrinky Dink
If you know anything about microwaves, you know that you should never put metal inside of them. You don't need to know any of the science to understand that metal in a microwave is not a good idea. It can cause a fire or maybe even an explosion. Whatever the case, you should never try putting metals into the food box. Even if a post on the internet tells you to.
This isn't a shrinky dink, it's obviously a coin from another country or time. To think that anyone would be dumb enough to fall for this. Just don't try it.
A Quarter in Time Is Not 25
Growing up, we felt like learning to tell the time was one of the harder mundane tasks. There were so many ways to do it. First, you need to learn how the system works, but then you also have to learn how to read the clocks with the hands on them. It's not exactly the hardest task these days, but it sure was hard to learn. For some, it may not have ever been easy:
First of all, it takes the same amount of time to say either. But mostly, people probably say that to be sure he doesn't misunderstand when they say eight forty-five.
Not Wearing a Mask
We love it when people are so ironic about wearing a mask. We don't understand why people are so insistent on keeping their rights intact to the point where they won't keep themselves and others safe by wearing a mask. It just seems like they're making an argument for the sake of having an argument with somebody, and in the end, they just end up making a fool of themself.
And sometimes, not on purpose, people will ironically talk smack about people like that while also doing the same thing. This man was probably talking about someone else and failed to see the flaw here.
The Year 3000
Numbers are hard. Math is not the best subject for many of us, but even the worst people at math can figure out how to count properly. For those of us that may not have experienced the turn of the century, it may be even weirder to think that the next big milestone in our year will be 2100, not 3000 as evidenced by this person over on Twitter:
Yeah, we're not so sure the math adds up there. As cool as it would be to see 3000, that's just going to be an impossibility for anyone alive today.
Where Do Babies Come From
We take our genes very seriously. They're crucial to our survival. They're also fun to understand the history behind them. That's why people are so serious about knowing who their ancestors are. And sometimes it's not even for fun. Sometimes you simply need to know who the parents of a given child are. And it can even be important when you're pregnant with the kid. Or when you want to know who the father is.
Yes, asking the important questions. The simple answer is the mother is obviously the one who's having the kid!! It seems this person may think a different woman's eggs can just show up inside someone else.
Unbirthday
Getting older may not be fun for everyone, but there are dozens of reasons to celebrate a birthday. Mostly, it's having some cheer for being able to make it around the sun another year. And because it literally comes around every year, you always have a chance to do something that you haven't done before for your celebration. It's so much fun that some people can get a bit jealous of those having a birthday.
This dude definitely looks old enough to have had a few birthdays. We don't know why he doesn't realize that yes, literally everyone is having a birthday this year. Yours will come soon.
Aunt or Uncle
Having a new family member is one of the most exciting things in life. Whether you're the sibling, parent, aunt, or uncle, or whatever else you might be, welcoming new life is something we all have a soft spot for. But it can get confusing when people adopt, divorce, remarry, have kids from different parents, and all the other labels. It's so confusing that you forget what gender you identify as.
Hi, just a friendly reminder that it's not all that complicated to figure out. If you are a male, you're an uncle, and if you're a female, you're an aunt. It's not up to the baby.
