The ability to detect obvious distinctions between honest ignorance and trolling on the internet is becoming pretty damn challenging. That said, we can't always give genuine dumbasses the benefit of the doubt. Sure, a quick Google search will confirm that pee is not, in fact, stored in the balls. But for every searchable fact, there are 100 egregious lies, and chances are someone out there is willfully falling for them.
We've got a baffling collection of times people betrayed their dumb ideas about human anatomy by asking insane questions or making absurd claims. For the sake of our species, we really hope that some of these lunatics are just trolling.
sex ed
There's no doubt about it, bodies are extremely weird. Just when you thought you had the whole being alive thing down, they throw you a curveball in the shape of a mysterious ailment.
Perhaps one of the biggest offenders when it comes to body WTFery is the reproductive system. If Yahoo Answers (RIP) was anything to go by, sex ed is not a strong point of the school curriculum in most places.
This is something that can be easy to take advantage of, as Tiktoker @dfinkk discovered recently. Many people didn't know how to react after she made a video stripping her face of what looked suspiciously like a peelable facemask. "Throwback to when men didn't know we had to peel off layers of our skin after our period", explains the voiceover.
Despite the claim being completely outlandish, the comment section was filled with people praising her for speaking up, comparing skincare products to help and even discussing what they did with the skin afterwards. Predictably enough, this led to many also questioning why it had never happened to them or apologetically admitting they had never known about it.
When the clip made it onto Twitter, you might have thought the ruse was up — but nope, there were just as many people adamant that this was a monthly struggle, or responding with shock and sympathy.
While it might now be hard to believe, having a working uterus doesn't usually turn someone into a lizard. However, as this video has proved, it gives a great excuse for trolling.

As reproductive rights are being stripped from women in Alabama and Missouri, many women are coming out to discuss their experiences with abortion and reproductive health. After reading this Twitter thread from @brownandbella, we are starting to think that we need to talk not only about the right to choose, but about the state of sexual education in the United States. These astounding shows of ignorance are definitely proof that something needs to change. We might be chuckling at some of these tweets, but reality of it all is pretty frickin' dark.
The idea that 'pee is stored in the balls' is a pretty established internet joke, but imagine if someone actually believed that this was true. Well, there are way too many people online who either ask for advice that betrays their general lack of anatomical knowledge, or worse, they spout obviously wrong information all over the internet. In this gallery, we've got a bunch of prime examples of stupid people who don't know how the body works and the embarrassing dumbassery they post.
We often lament the current state of healthcare in the United States, but judging by these social media posts, we need to take a much harder look at the state of our school systems. These morons either cut all their Sex Ed classes or even worse - didn't have access to a sexual education program at all.
For more cringey ignorance, check out these abominable posts we shared last year.

It's finally the weekend. We can all enjoy some time off from work by being drunk, hungover, depressed, or by binge-watching whichever escapist show we choose to distract us from our sick and sad realities. Or, as an alternative, we can also scroll through these dope memes. It's up to you.
