Turns out, Twitter is good not only for sending insults but wishing good wishes as well. Shocking, I know. And just as New Year’s Eve was coming to an end, people started congratulating Earth on its 2019th birthday. We can only guess if they were trolling or being serious, but let’s just hope that they are either anti-vaxxers or flat-Earthers. Because if they aren’t, that means there’s another group of very special people that will drive us crazy while making us question the future of humanity at the same time

Think of the most averagely intelligent person you know. Then realise that about 50% of the world's population is dumber than that. Some a lot. I wish I could believe this was a joke, but I know some phenomenally stupid people.
I remember reading an article about how an anthropology prof tried to teach kids how to tell female skeletons from male skeletons. One girl raised a hand and said that male skeletons would have one less rib, referring to the creation of woman by God using one of Adams ribs. The prof bought time by having her go count the ribs. That's when he explained about inheritance and how, even if you lose a thumb, it doesn't mean all your children will be born without that same thumb because of how your DNA is coded. Managed to teach without treading on beliefs. These people, however, need an open handed slap in the mouth in the form of written historical records (Egypt and Sumer.)
While I'm certain most of these are meant to be jokes, there ARE in fact people that are this stupid.
I hate to pontificate, but I have posted many times on boredpanda about the decline in scientific understanding and the promotion of anti-science conspiracy theories. in our society. This is the inevitable result.
Why do you think this is the case? I think this seems especially true in the States. Why does the US seem to have a culture of anti-intellectualism?
Load More Replies...To all people expressing the hope that this is a joke: Sorry, no. This is just another example of how uneducated a lot of people are. I just read a message on the internet from a guy that was convinced that in 81 years it will be the year 3000.
Last year, people made this joke. So why would it not be a joke now?
Load More Replies...Do these people think the Big Bang meant the Universe got laid and out popped Earth from a giant uterus?
Let me take a wild guess: the majority of these people are American? :-/
Speaking of ignorance, I've had to explain to more than one person that even if the moon isn't full the whole thing is still there.
