knowledge

According to our timelines, pretty much everyone is a medical expert or scientist these days. These "experts" throw around knowledge that is factually untrue and sometimes even downright dangerous. And it's extremely satisfying when these wannabe Einsteins get schooled by actual professionals on social media. This gallery is full of that delicious dunking. We hope these numbskulls learned their lessons and maybe even starting cracking some actual books.

How does YouTube know what we want to see? What even is the stock market? How is there no absolute position in space? Effing magnets—how do they work? We all have questions like these in the back of our minds—not urgent enough to google, but not mundane enough to forget. Well u/lliorca336 gave redditors a chance to open up about the various things in life they genuinely don't understand, and the responses are pretty interesting. Keep scrolling to see what people wonder about all day.

Everyday we're bombarded with so much information, our poor brains our bound to get overwhelmed and only process the necessary data, so to speak. It's a shame we can't retain all the interesting stuff we discover throughout our lives, but thanks to the internet and subreddits like r/todayilearned, we can revisit fascinating facts and historical tidbits we might have forgotten—or better yet, learn something new. If you're always the one at the party starting conversations with 'did you know...' then keep scrolling, because we've got a ton of interesting facts for your mind museum. 

Ever see someone drop some complicated stats in a post that make you wonder if the math checks out? Well some nerds out there will literally do the math to prove a point, calculate the internal physics of a meme, or just for the hell of it. Let's be real, most of us plebs hate math, but it sure is entertaining to catch someone else dropping some mathematical knowledge on the rest of us. We've got some amusing examples of brainiacs in the wild that did the math.  

High school math teachers are always talking about how wonderful and useful algebraic equations are, but I bet if teachers told their students they could use math for epic punchlines or to totally own people online, the kids would pay closer attention in class. Whether you're a huge math nerd or you love to see people drop witty comments they obviously spent way too long crafting, you'll surely be into these internet moments of smartassery. r/theydidthemath is a goldmine of mathematical zingers, so be sure to check out the sub.

Are you ready to get some of that sweet knowledge without even having to set foot in a classroom or museum? Then we've got you covered! We got memes about the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and more!
