stupid

Cleverness and intelligence are two very different things. The difference can be spotted freely lurking throughout technically correct dumb jokes and moments. Honestly, just knowing things can be boring. Setting up oneself up with some potentially confusing technically accurate logical acrobatics or painfully stupid literalisms is the way to go.

Sure, arguing over semantics is all about dodging empirical facts and avoiding reality, but also it's kinda fun to be technically accurate. You're not gonna score high on any tests or win any real arguments being technically accurate, but at least at the end of the day you can tell yourself that your position, while stupid, was unassailable in its own little way.

It's a good reminder that most people are decent most of the time. Most people are kind, friendly, and would go out of their way to help a stranger. Then there's these moments. The trashy moments. The times when people decided to act out of selfishness, greed and complete disregard for the people around them. Wild.

Clearly these people are very confused. It's Tumblr threads like these that remind us there are poor lost souls wandering this world in dire need of an instruction manual for daily life, to avoid sure destruction.

Most of us have a decent idea of how jokes work, or we are at least somewhat adept of seeing the signs of when something is a joke. It would be rough walking around this world just thinking everyone is stupid and wrong all the time. To further confuse the literal minded, here are some technically accurate moments that aren't wrong. And for some straight up dumbness, here are some facepalm moments from humanity's beacons of stupid.

Puns may be the simplest form of humor, but sometimes simple things are great. Are puns sometimes teeth-chatteringly painful to read? Absolutely. But sometimes they're really clever. These ones can be a mixed bag. For another kind of bag of dad jokes, here's another sackful of puns to spill all over.

Get a bunch of people spewing words at each other and you're bound to catch some verbal lighting in a bottle. Whether it's people trying to remember the weirdest parts of their childhoods or complete strangers attempting to bond over extremely specific references, tumblr hits hard with the shiny tumblr gems.
