stupid

While we realize that not everyone qualifies for Mensa, these posts shout out people who have somehow managed to take stupid to the next level. And we have to admit we're completely here for it. There's something extremely satisfying about witnessing someone exhibit a lack of intelligence that rivals your own. It's a sick ego boost, but we'll take doses of elevated self-image when and where we can get them. We just hope these poor souls invest some of their time into exercising their brains and familiarizing themselves with common sense. They clearly need all the help they can get. 

Some people idealize their significant others. They put their lovers on a pedestal, convince themselves that their beloved can do no wrong. These anecdotes come from people who can no longer do that. These anecdotes are from people who were given irrefutable proof that their partner's might have a screw loose or very little common sense - but they love 'em anyway. Brace yourself: stupidity is coming. 

Gamers aren't inherently bad. It's not a crime to want to spend hours on the internet, honing skills, streaming on Twitch, and/or indulging in fantasy. In fact, when playing with friends, video games can give you pretty much all the benefits (and maybe more) of a night out with the buds. But when some gamers, perhaps after being holed up for long nights of gaming with like-minded douchebags, are the epitome of misogynistic bros. 

Twitter account @GamerTakes, while largely inactive, is a goldmine of cringey, offensive, and just plan bad takes from just these kinds of gamers. They mock feminism, insinuate that women shouldn't be gamers, and spew nonsense that would probably horrify their poor mothers. And we're here to watch the clowns get the negative feedback they so deeply deserve.

Ever find yourself wondering how you people got by before "life hacks" were a thing? It seems like everyone and their mom has a pro tip they need to share with the world. There are the TikTok users promoting liquid chlorophyll, weird Russian DIY hacks that seem highly unnecessary, and then, of course, wannabe wellness or finance gurus who think a little too highly of themselves. These self-proclaimed authorities can take their "wisdom" and shove it. Instead, we prefer to get our advice from more down-to-earth sources. You know, the comic masterminds ofTwitter - and memes. 

For months we've been hearing the words "Buy the dip" in regards to both meme stocks and crypto. But these days, the mantra is starting to feel like something of a joke. Bitcoin plummeted to under 30k earlier today, and hasn't rebounded by much. Ethereum is hovering around a sad 1.8k, and Dogecoin, unsurprisingly, has also sh*t the bed. The meme coin has dropped to 19 cents - the lowest it's been since April. 

The dismal and bloody charts have manyHODLrs lamenting their dedication to buying the dip on social media  - but some optimistic folks are actually lamenting the opposite. They wish they had more money to drop during the crash. We're just amazed that people have any money to throw into the ring. Despite the polarizing feelings, we can't seem to escape the memes and tweets. Here's hoping the jokes go from self-loathing and scared to celebratory. We could all use a little extra dough in our wallets. 

Some people take a long bath or treat themselves to a pastry when they're feeling low. Maybe they talk to a friend who can make them smile. But when we're feeling depressed or insecure, our favorite pastime is observing stupid people do what they do best: inflate our egos with their embarrassing antics. There's nothing quite as uplifting as seeing people f*ck up worse than we do on a day-to-day basis. And we've got a whole lot of that stupid for you to scroll through right here.

We've got to hand it to these people. While we've been struggling with writer's block, trying to cover the dumb shit that happens on the internet in a simple, yet reasonably thoughtful way, there are clearly plenty creative writers having an easy go of it. But don't let their details or specificity fool you - these people are masterminds of fiction. 

Though most of us would like to consume approach the world with less skepticism, the more time we spend on the internet the harder it gets. On Twitter there are hordes of parents fabricating stories about how their 2 year old is an emotional or intellectual savant. Anti-maskers celebrate highly dubious acts of rebellion. Influencers claim that women fall at their feet. Some of them are straight up seeking attention, or some validation to fill some kind of void in their souls. Others have more of an agenda. But they've all got one thing in common: being incredibly cringeyliars.  And we're here to share some of that cringe with you. 

Some of us may not want to remember the dumb things we would do as children. Whether it was peeing into the vents of the family home (Sorry, mom) or harboring the thought that women don't poop, kids really are apt to doing (and thinking) the darndest things. The r/KidsAreFuckingStupid subreddit is full of these sorts of anecdotes, submitted by people who are marveling at their own childhood stupidity, frustrated and bemused parents, and people who may have seen a tweet they couldn't help but share. And we've got a bunch of the forum's best tidbits right here to share with you. 

If you're feeling numb to the world, boy do we have an antidote for you. These mildly infuriating images and memes reflect little (and a few big) things that are wrong with the world. From inexplicable "new math" to terrible design, these posts and pics are pretty much guaranteed to grind your gears. And while that might not be the best feeling in the world, at least you'll feel something. 

It's incredible how growing up it seemed that many female characters (except maybe Charlotte of Charlotte's Web) in literature, television, or movies fit into some pretty specific molds. Not much has changed. Some are misogynistic (why must we talk so much about boobs?) and some just misguided - but most shallow, flawed, and frankly, insulting feminine portrayals have come from the pens of men. They're so famously bad at writing about women that there is an entire subreddit dedicated to their ineptitude. It's filled to the brim with Tumblr truth bombs, funny memes, and cringey screenshots, all dedicated to this epidemic of boring and low-effort portrayals. We've put together some of the subreddit's best gems in this painfully problematic gallery, but there's way more where they came from. 

TGIF, y'all. Ready to celebrate the culmination of another week of pain? Between the gas shortage,violence in the middle east, and the absolute agony of our personal lives, it's probably safe to say that the whole world deserves a break.  While memes won't do much to promote world peace or knock the stupidity out of the heads of some Americans (us included), they will help assuage the pain of existence. At least for a little while. 

It's not very nice to laugh at the failures of others and that's certainly not what we're trying to do here. We're laughing at the hilarious and unexpected results of failed attempts to fix something mundane, tell a blatant lie, get a point across, or simply do a thing. We've got to give an 'A for effort' to the ones who at least tried. On the other hand, some of these people failed so hard that it makes us question whether they even wanted their attempts to be successful. We've got a bunch of funny examples of when people got it totally wrong. 

While Dads might be the most prolific purveyors of corny humor, you don't have to be a father figure to appreciate this massive batch of memes and jokes. From eyeroll-inducing puns to Impact font cringe, these memes are accessible to people of all ages. As a bonus, they'll make you appreciate clever memes and tweets more than ever before. 

Pretty much everyone loves a good joke. And the internet is chock full of 'em. Netizens frequently use memes and comments to exercise their wit and sarcasm. But sometimes people will take these jokes too literally, or just don't get them at all. When they feel the need to express this in a public comment, their stupidity is often funnier than the gag itself. The subreddit r/woooosh is a place for people to share these unintentionally hilarious moments. It's a page that we could scroll for hours. To save you from that time-consuming procrastination hole, we've put together some of their latest and greatest posts. If you need more, you can dive right into our other lists here and here.
