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.

It also didn't totally disappear since a case to two still crops up once in a while.

Curious - why doesn't anyone use thirds when telling time? "Third past eight" = 8:20 :P

I learned in biology class that "hetero" means different, and "homo" means same. It can't be that hard figure out.

YOUR = belonging to you; YOU'RE = you are. ITS = belonging to it; IT'S = it is. THERE = a place away from here; THEIR = belonging to them; THEY'RE = they are. Hope this helps!!

Yeah, the last one was a troll or sarcastic. This is obvious and you fell for it. Makes you also a little dumb. (Like the most of us - sometimes)

For confused people: Straight means you like the opposite gender. Heterosexual means you're cisgender and straight. At least I think so, sorry if I'm wrong

Also the word straight is somewhat offensive as it implies being correct or being right.

Sure. Just like "gay" is offensive for implying cheerfulness, as if straight people weren't.

Technically, there is a point about people not understanding the word, and needing something most people understand. Or do the enlightened woke not care about those they label idiot because of the need to feel superior to others.

It depends if it's wet with shower water or rain water, of course. And cold water or hot water. B
