50 Of The Most Cringeworthy And Dumb Posts That Might Give You A Second-Hand Embarrassment
Interview With Expert
Look, the fact of the matter is that we’re all human, nobody’s ever ‘perfect,’ and we all make mistakes from time to time and have gaps in our knowledge. That being said, you still expect the people you interact with to have a certain level of general education and common sense. However, online veterans know that no matter how long you browse, you’ll still stumble across fails that take you completely by surprise.
Bored Panda has collected some of the most jaw-droppingly dumb comments and posts from social media and other parts of the internet, where users show just how uneducated they really are. They’re cringeworthy. They spread secondhand embarrassment. And you’ll find the most painful to read of the bunch as you scroll down.
We wanted to learn why some people don't double-check their facts, sources, and spelling, as well as how anyone can improve their writing and vocabulary, so we reached out to Lisa McLendon, Ph.D., from the University of Kansas, for help. She was kind enough to shed some light on Bored Panda's questions, and you'll find her insights below.

Andrew Tate Fanboys Are Dumb

He can’t ‘run for PM’ unless he becomes a member of a political party and then made leader of that political party. Then he has to get voted in by the constituents of the constituency he represents **and** his party have to hold the majority of seats in the Commons. Our political system isn’t like the USA. That said we still managed to end up with fúcking BJ but a lot more people liked him than like Andrew Twāt

Lisa McLendon, the William Allen White professor of Journalism and Mass Communications and the coordinator at the Bremner Editing Center, explained to Bored Panda what might hold some internet users back from double-checking facts, sources, and spelling.
"For spelling, often people don’t even think something might be misspelled and thus don’t know they need to check it," the professor told us in an email.
"Built-in spell-checkers are pretty good at catching typos, but don’t always flag misspelled proper names or the wrong homophone," she said that these programs can struggle to pick up the difference between, say, the words 'affect' and 'effect.'
Meanwhile, when it comes to fact-checking, "sometimes people don’t realize that something they thought they knew is wrong, or that a source they get information from is not reliable, so they don’t think to check."

In my rainy city, you can tell who's local and who's a transplant when it rains. Transplants use umbrellas, locals tend to have a hooded raincoat of some kind because umbrellas are a pain in the butt. You're either losing it, forgetting it, getting something at home, work, or the car soaked, and what do you do with it when you go shopping? Much easier to just have a raincoat, usually a Columbia Sportswear or North Face jacket of some kind.

Raymond Core 10 months ago
It's true. I've met and spoke, in English, with several Brazillians who moved to Dallas.
McLendon continued: "But sometimes, they want it to be true, so even if they see a correction or contradiction, they don’t want to believe they’re wrong, so they don’t pursue a fact-check."
According to the professor, many of the mishaps that we're featuring in this list are what linguists call 'eggcorns': "When people write something like what a word or phrase sounds like, using actual words that kind of maybe make sense."
She explained: "The term started when someone referred to an acorn as an 'eggcorn'—it’s rounded like an egg, and kernel-like similar to corn."
However, so-called 'eggcorns' aren't the same as malapropisms, where you use the wrong word that sounds kind of like the word you mean.
The professor also offered some practical advice for anyone hoping to improve their skills. "For anyone who wants to improve at writing and vocabulary, I say READ! Read good, professional, edited writing across a variety of topics," McLendon told Bored Panda.
"Read fiction, biographies, magazines, newspapers—anything that catches your interest. Reading broadly helps you gain a sense of what good writing looks like and exposes you to new words as well as new meanings of words you may already know," she said.

Totally comfortable with her doing so, 9 months of a tricky and often painful pregnancy and then the stress and pain of childbirth, I was happy to take one for the team, my contribution over 9 months was pretty much limited to cooking the right food and massaging her feet.

Referring to a recent Pew Research Center survey from November 2023, Statista reports that there are serious misgivings about the education system in the United States.
As per the survey, 82% of K-12 American public school teachers said that they believe the education system is in a worse state than 5 years ago. Meanwhile, another 11% said that the situation was stagnant.
On the upside, 20% of teachers who were polled were quite optimistic about the future, believing that the next 5 years will bring improvements. But there are serious problems that educators face right now.
Some of the major issues that affect teachers include insufficient pay, shortages of qualified educators, and violence against teachers after the pandemic.

Anaesthesia is NOT an easy or safe practice - it needs highly trained and dedicated staff to perform. Hospitals etc have staff continuously monitoring a person who has been rendered unconscious, and protocols to treat them if they suffer a health issue (heartbeat changes, breathing changes etc). Even so, people die from being anaethatised - I wouldn't trust some random dipshit with a tattoo gun to safely bring people in and out of a near-death experience (look it up, it's a scary phenomenon).

Which is a lot safer than it used to be. But yeah.. I know this isn’t the point of the post at all. But I just wanted to educate anyone who might be thinking about this or thinks it’s a good idea.

We used to speak Dutch to Germans when they visited the Netherlands, and they would never really understand. Since WW2 was forgiven on 21 June 1988 we converse in English.
Another serious problem with the American education system, according to 52% of respondents from the November 2023 survey, was that schools do not have the funding or resources that they need.
26% of adults said that parents have too much influence in decisions about what schools are teaching. And 54% of respondents noted that they’re worried about teachers bringing their personal political and social views into the classroom.
Proper education doesn’t happen by accident. It’s very much intentional. And the responsibility lies on the shoulders of the education system, the community, the person’s parents, as well as the individual themselves. The reality is that in this day and age, it’s easier than ever to educate yourself in whatever field that you want. Even if you aren’t lucky enough to get a scholarship or can’t afford a college education, there are tons of free courses and resources online.

If he believes his 5AM is her 5AM, he also believes their noontime is the same so it would only occur to him to subtract 7 from his current time.

There are rocks that are more sentient than Marjorie Taylor Greene.
However, it takes drive, patience, and discipline to take advantage of these opportunities. Not to mention that you have to be perceptive and humble enough to notice that your education might be lacking in certain fields, and that you probably should do something to correct the imbalance.
If you constantly have issues sharing your thoughts in writing or when talking to others, you definitely should find ways to resolve these problems. Good communication is a skill that will never go out of style.
Meanwhile, if you have trouble connecting to other people, you may want to brush up on emotional intelligence, good management practices, leadership, and other fields. Other areas that the average person ought to be reasonably well-versed in include health, fitness, and nutrition; personal finances; media literacy; and the basics of science, history, and proper grammar. Aside from that, you should also be able to take care of yourself and do simple chores, from knowing how to cook and doing the laundry to paying your taxes and budgeting.

Ideally, you should be able to develop all of these skills throughout your childhood, at school. But people’s backgrounds, family situations, teachers, and relationships with education as a whole all differ, so not everyone manages to learn as much as their classmates. Some people inevitably fall behind due to a whole host of different issues.
Recognizing that you’re behind and that it’s worth catching up to your peers is the first step to filling in the most egregious knowledge gaps you have. Of course, let’s not be naive: no matter how much you study, you’ll never be an expert in ‘everything.’ However, you can cover your main bases and then specialize in a handful of niches.

You also have to consider the fact that different experts will almost inevitably have different perceptions of what basic knowledge means. Someone with a PhD in physics will, naturally, think that higher-level math and science skills are vital.
Meanwhile, someone who specializes in medicine, art, agriculture, programming, entertainment, marketing, fitness, management, or literally anything else, will think that society as a whole should value what they value and know things that they know. But, again, we can’t all be experts in all fields. It’s not practical and not feasible.

Well women are ppl who have their periods. My mom went thru menopause… but she birthed 3 human beings in her life n had her tubes tied after meaning… by your logic that she was a woman but then transitioned into ‘not a woman’ since she could no longer give birth. But she still had her period after getting her tubes tied. So how many times did she transition in her life? So what you’re saying is that women can transition from being women to men n then back to being women n it’s totally biologically sound? So your own argument proves that you’re wrong. Also, gender n sex arent the same thing. Gender isnt real. There’s no scientific reason why girls should wear pink or should be the one proposed to etc

Vulnerable state is good description. We call it "the other state" here. It is a whole body transformation, some parts will never be the same, but some things can be better. The biggest problem is that you cannot tell in advance what will happen. There are women that stopped using antidepressants after pregnancy, there are women that had to start. Quite often their pain tolerance goes up a lot, but not always. Pretty often bladder is not the same after pregnancy. I have to say that the whole pregnancy/delivery/breast feeding deal is pretty horrible for women. It sounds like they cannot win, they gain a little and lose bit more, but if they do not do it, they are often seen as "not-real-women", so it is lose-lose scenario. For men on the other hand, being father is great and being childfree and funny is also great, so yes, our end of the stick is so much bigger that women hold none at all. It is unfair.

I think about it and start laughing hysterically at my mistake. I just couldn't believe I'd been doing that for that long and it NEVER dawned on me that I was pronouncing it wrong.

Cats aren't just predators, they're obligated carnivores. They lack the enzymes necessary to process carbs, starchs and vegetation. If sufficient animal based protein isn't available their internal organs quickly shut down. Dogs are at least some what omnivorous. Dogs can also go 3-5 days without food as long as fresh water is available, though it's not ideal. Cats can only go 2-3, but organ damage starts in as little as 30-36 hours, cascading rapidly to failure.

Nicotine IS harmful but it's the least harmful part of a cigarette despite being so addictive. It simultaneously relaxes you and makes you more alert. Using nicotine on its own is as harmful as being a coffee addict (which should not be underestimated) The 'Nicotine Shreds' used in greenhouses cause a lot of smoke which has a sticky residue to block the 'spiracles' of the insects - leading to their demise. High doses of nicotine are, of course fatal. In that regard it's like alcohol. But unless it's in its liquid form an overdose would be impossible to carry out..

David Morgan 10 months ago
Maybe use some of the 10k to buy a calculator to check your decimal places. I think this is just a slip of the finger and not thinking to double-check the answer, but you need to be careful when translating units. Otherwise you get ideas like 'This guy has 510 million in the bank, he could give everyone in America a million dollars and still have 10 million left over'. Nope, he could give everyone 1 dollar and have 10 million left over.

An Incredibly Stupid And Verified Facepalm
E Menendez 10 months ago
Well, to be fair, a lot of people have difficulty with the order of operations. I catch myself on occasion.
Parmeisan 10 months ago
Not one of the dumbest people, for two reasons: 1) this is an incredibly common misconception, so no need to single Ian out, and 2) this is lack of education, not lack of intelligence. For anyone thinking that Ian is correct and too afraid to ask lest we make fun of you: it's order of operations. In math there are certain operations that are designated to happen before others, rather than just going left-to-right. That way, it doesn't matter what order you write things, the result will always be the same. Multiplication happens before addition, so when you type in 50 + 50 * 2 in software that handles it correctly, it will do 50 + (50 * 2) -> 50 + 100 -> 150. This is correct.

I know about order of operations, but if it's important I usually have to look it up. That's because in 6+ decades on this earth I have never once needed it for day to day life. Figuring my money, calculating lumber needed for a project... it's just never come up naturally. I know it can, in some fields of work. But not for the average person buying groceries or paying rent.

According to a friend of my Dad who was a linguistic professor, before the invention of the bicycle, most villages had their own accent. The bicycle allowed more interaction and so accents became merged and larger areas had the same accent. I can’t be bothered to prove or disprove this!

American in Ireland . The accents were different across the country and I wound up being an interpreter for my husband. We sat with a couple from Wales while on a train from Dublin to Belfast and husband, literally, could not understand a word they said. I was ok but asked everyone to talk slower, we're American. They laughed

This is no longer so true - since the advent of the BBC, most regional accents have diluted. Yes you can still hear them, but nowadays, they are far more 'understandable' than they were.

One of the stories my Dad tells about his time in Viet Nam is about the smell of the "latrines". In some of the villages, they would make a "toilet" by cutting down an oil drum and making a seat for it. Then when it got too full they'd dump in a bunch of diesel or kerosene and light it on fire. He said the stench of the smoke was horrendous.

Yes, some of these are genuine stupidity (the unwillingness to learn or change) as opposed to just not being educated (not having the chance to learn). Others are just 'eggcorns' - the language phenomenon where you hear a word/phrase incorrectly but it sounds logical e.g. an acorn is an eggcorn because the acorn is the 'egg' that new acorn trees grow from.
