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

Being under a rest is bad, but imagine being under two or even three rests! :O

This must be the sequel to "drill your own headphones jack into your iPhone".

Yeah girls age faster than boys if that helps so you (a girl) born in 98 would be older that a boy born in 92. Hope this helps.

This question was asked in 2000 so you will have to forgive her for not knowing.

She's about 22 at the time of writing? And we're hoping they are the generation to save the planet? We've got until 2055, enjoy it while it lasts!

What I want to know, Yahoo, is HOW people can be this stupid? I mean there is dumb, dopey, a bit rat-brained, sure but this epic level of concentrated moronosity, pure distilled idiocy... makes Monty Python's sketches look like a documentary series. Is there any hope for these people? What are we to do with those who wear crocs because tying sholeaces is too challenging?

I actually had an uncle I had never known about as my mom had left when I was a baby. We got back in touch and I called her one day and the guy who answered the phone said she wasn't there and asked who I was. I said her daughter and he said that he was her brother so I said - oh my uncle wow. He said that it depended on our ages ..../le sigh.

Since you're a girl, you are younger than your older sister. If you were a boy, you'd be older than your older sister.

I never understood how my brothers birthday would always come before mine, while I was older... then, you know, I grew up

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