“The Stupid Police”: This Page Shares People’s Dumbest Moments Online (40 Pics)
Think of the internet as the Wild West. It’s a place to share whatever you think of virtually anything, post things that you want, and engage in stuff that interests you, all in the comfort of your home. And while it’s our go-to place for connection, news and information, communication and work, people are different and so is the content.
So this time, we’re taking a look at some examples of clueless people sharing questionable arguments, fake news, illogical conspiracies, and anything in between. Thanks to “The Stupid Police”, every little bit of dumbness spotted online gets busted, screenshotted, and shared on their Twitter page.
With 144.1K followers, “The Stupid Police” is dedicated to “posting the most stupid internet moments,” and it’s basically a wall of shame for any post which lacks good judgment and common sense.

Bored Panda reached out to the creator behind The Stupid Police Twitter page, which currently has 145.1K followers. “I was thinking about creating a gimmick account for a while so I went through and tried to think of ideas that haven't been done before,” they told us. “This included cross-referencing viral tweets to find a similarity, looking through subreddits and searching through memes to find common similarities.”
The idea to create The Stupid Police came after its creator found “stupid Yahoo answers questions and stupid old tweets and I realized this was an unclaimed idea.” The instant success of the page can be attributed to the preparation which went before the page was even launched. “I didn't start the account with that, nor have I been posting that type of content because I knew they wouldn't go viral,” the creator said.
What they did instead was compiling “a list of viral-worthy tweets which all went viral, resulting in the blow up of this account.”
When asked if there’s a lot of dumb content surfing around on the internet, the creator of The Stupid Police confirmed that’s exactly the case. “I would say the main reason would be ignorance, but there are also people who want to feel special and do attention-seeking things,” they commented.
Curious - why doesn't anyone use thirds when telling time? "Third past eight" = 8:20 :P
My brain shows an "error" message when thinking about this...

That's something we germans can have endless discussions about. too . Some say it's ¾ 8 while in other places people will say "Quarter before 8"
In Austria you say "3/4 - 8" and germans say 1/4 before 7" and thats very challanging for many (not for me, I grew up bilingual-german)
Actually, there‘s a lot of dispute in Germany about the two formats ^^ Where I grew up, 3/4 8 was the norm. Where I live now, I have to say 1/4 before 8 or I get strange, uncomprehending looks.

My sister (she was like... 6 at the time.) would tell you that it was "half a clock."
That could be an unfortunately fitting typo though, as nr 7 is right above nr 4 on the number keypad.
8.75? eight & three quarters? vs 8:45... 3/4 of an hour... hmmmm does he read an analog clock?
In denmark older people still can say a quarter past halv nine (meaning 8:45)
Are we using decimal time now? They tried that in the French revolution, but it didn't take.
Getting mixed up between three quarters and 75%. There was an Asimov black widower story based on it
Is this guy just joking?? Does he really believe that? Can’t tell if it’s sarcasm!!
so is 8:75 supposed to be 9:15? (See this guy doing serious math's on his analog clock all day long)
About time, men have been all over the female top charts for far too long!
here me out her, ik it sounds crazy but they turned the ice into LIQUID and poured it down the hole. crazy right?
It depends if it's wet with shower water or rain water, of course. And cold water or hot water. B
When you a soon, or you make a sometimes about people, it's unnearving

I've read through all of them. Now my head hurts. I see a correlation there... --------- (Oh please please please let this be grammatical correct 🙈) (non-native speaker here)
That's grammatically perfect! Brilliant job! (Chief of Grammar Police here, that was a beautiful English sentence)

If you judge a society by looking at only the stupid, you would come to that conclusion every time.

I honestly try to give people the benefit of believing they have trouble typing on the tiny keyboards on their phones, or that auto-correct causes the use of incorrect words, but wow, these are truly on another level.
Memere : you are a gracious person to excuse these posts as possible auto correct or tiny keyboards. From the looks of things most of them did not finish school.

The real problem is that the stupidest people will probably be the ones who reproduce the most.
Unfortunately I may become as dumb as those people now that i read all this. I think some of my braincells died and then the other braincells ran away.

tbf number 13s comment could work if she only has kids through adoption
I still can't believe she multiplied 9 x 3 correctly. For the wrong reason, yes, but she got there all the same.
It's the way they're so vehement in their stupidity that's so jaw dropping
"A soon s**t" - I just find that frightening that someone would even think this is correct.
"...Oh the thoughts I'd be thinkin', I could be another Lincoln...ifI only had a brain."
if the aliens are gonna get rid of all the dumb people, we are gonna lose half the population lol
Eeeeehm... As a German, let me tell you that mass-murdering people for being dumb (or slow or otherwise socially hard to handle) is -------> REALLY REALLY BAD! ...well, bad going in the direction of evil...
