When you're highly concerned about someone you care about, your initial response would be to immediately call, right? It's a natural and reasonable response when you fear for your loved ones. But what if it was your life partner? If you thought they were in serious trouble, you'd call them until you got an answer. Reddit user /u/alphiotomas described an argument he had with his wife on the /r/amitheasshole subreddit. The user described the factory where he worked where he was prohibited from us…

Being gullible can be something of a curse . As a person who, sadly, falls into that category, I understand the struggle. Most recently, a friend somehow convinced me that newts and salamanders were the “original gummies." He claimed that when cured properly, the critters were satisfyingly chewy, and served as inspiration for Haribo and other gummy candies we know and love. I only found out he was lying a few days later. Thank goodness I didn't tell anyone else this incredibly false fact. The w…

Yikes.

Listen. We spend a lot of time on the Internet, and especially on Twitter. Every day at least a few hours are spent scrolling through the godforsaken “Bird App,” often wishing for the sweet release of death or a winning lottery ticket. Even though we do see some gems on a daily basis - and share them with you at least once a week - most of the posts we encounter are decidedly mediocre, offensive, or straight-up bad. That said, there are certain tweets, memes, and posts, that have stuck with us…

What's the stupidest thing that you've ever heard someone say? Just last week, I got into an argument with a friend over the correct term for a bin of missing items. They were under the impression that it was “lost in found” and not “lost and found." The fact that they weren't kidding baffled me. Admittedly, I was impressed by their conviction in supporting this claim. Also that they had made it this long in their life without learning the truth. My example isn't exactly extraordinary. I'd say…

The facepalm. A classic motion that immediately conveys the inner feeling of the palmer. Almost always, those are shame and exasperation. Usually, it’s impulsive. One of those go-to motions when you hear about the egregiously stupid act someone has committed or a particularly shameful news story. It’s a classic; deified by one of the internet’s oldest and most popular Advice Animal memes: Jean-Luc Picard’s famous facepalm. It’s one of those images that strikes an immediate, visceral reaction fr…

Ouch

I often wonder if social media is making people stupider or if it's just exposing the stupidity that was there all along. I'm inclined to believe the latter is true, but one thing is for sure—Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram aren't raising any IQs. And this isn't to say that I'm better than anyone else. On the contrary—I've posted some very dumb takes in my lifetime. Some of the dumbest. That's why I feel entitled speak bluntly on the matter. Humans may be the most intelligent species on the pla

The cringe is real

We were all undeniably stupid at one point or another, so who are we to judge?

Woof.

But they were too late

Oh hell no

Better luck next time.

There are some people in this world who make you really feel good about your own intellectual capabilities. In other words, their stupidity is astounding. Unfortunately for these people, that stupidity was displayed on national television for everyone to witness. If these people are an indication of average intelligence, then we fear for the state of humanity. Yikes. Guess you don't have to be smart to get onto a game show, after all.

Dumb people who claim authority over everything
