You know how in school, there was always that one kid who just couldn’t stay silent no matter what everyone was talking about? They would raise their hand in the air and start elaborating on whatever it was that nobody, not a single one, had asked in that classroom.
Fast forward to today, and we see the same thing happening all around on the internet. And this particular subreddit titled “Nobody Asked” has collected some of the most entertaining examples of people explaining far too much even though they were never asked to do so.
Below we selected some peculiar examples, so scroll down, upvote your favorite posts and let us know what you think of it in the comment section!

I'm a molecular neuroscientist and I can verify that humorous television not only doesn't rot your brain, but laughing can stimulate your brain in ways educational programming cannot.
Actually, you do have an IQ of 136 for nothing. (if it is that high at all - whcih I seriously doubt, if you don*t understand the depth of The Office and find National Geographic stimulating)
Just curious, what do you find deep about the Office?

Coincidently I also have an IQ of 136 (genuinely). Number one, I nor this turd are anything special, there are plenty of geniuses (140+) in the world. Number two, intelligence does not mean that you find humour or simple things unentertaining. The Office is great TV, though personally I prefer the original British version.
I don't know my husband's IQ, but he skipped two grades as a kid and he's highly intelligent. Sometimes watches crappy action thrillers.

‘Those who boast about their IQ certainly lost some while boasting about it’ - something I made up on the spot Idk

IQ tests and results are way overrated imo. I theoretically have a high one, but it’s so unimportant. It doesn’t measure all the other talents people can have! Also, I think the test is skewed towards people who have a decent education, are tested in their mother tongue, are not struggling with poverty, and such. I’m sick to death of people boasting about their high IQs, how they could get into MENSA, blah, blah, blah. (Btw, assuming you do think IQs are a valid proof of intelligence, 136 is not incredibly high.) “Smart” people did absolutely nothing to be smart, and they could lose it all to a car accident, neurological illness, etc.
im a gifted kid, and only watch nat geo if i find it interesting. other than that, im watching minecraft vids on youtube
So, if you have an IQ of 136, you can't just enjoy lying around and watching TV? You always have to be feeding your brain? Thank goodness I'm just an average girl.
With an IQ of 136 he/she should have known better than to come off this rude and arrogant. Should have predicted her reaction.
I hope that was sent in 1990. It's all ghost hunters and alien ancient astronauts now
"I caught a ghost... Of course you can't see it." That sounds even less mentally stimulating than a mime doing "stuck in a box".

No, the wildlife programms on national geographic are TRASH. They make everything sound dramatic, and as if everything wants to kill each other. I remember reading the thing about them wanting a good shot of a sloth swimming, so they put it into the water again and again untill it DROWNED. Even if that's not true, national geographic does not show the truth at all, it's just making wildlife seem deadly and evil for money. In my opinion, REALITY SHOWS can sometimes be better. Of course, this could just be my inner nerd ranting:)
... Something on the History Channel? So a-hole is an Ancient Aliens fan?
And he'll be the first to sternly explain that "No, Ancient Aliens is not about elderly extraterrestrials who decide to retire on planet Earth because they like the weather."
Load More Replies... My standard retort: When it comes to entertainment, I’m blessed with low standards. Start Wars prequels? Cute, and nice production design. Star Wars sequels? Fun! Ready Player One? I love putting it in slow motion and counting all of the pop culture references. I can find something I like about basically every movie or TV show. (I’ve got higher standards about other things; just not about entertainment and recreation.)
"something on the History channel"... like those "alien build this" documentary or the life of ice road truckers ? Yeah... I'm gonna go ahead and leave you alone with your "brain cells" now.
I think auto-correct added the "s" at the end of "brain cell".

Should read: You sound like a condescending a-hole! Intelligent people want/need to rest their brains, and these benign shows are perfect. Every little thing doesn't need to be a learning experience.
I've had people do this with books, too. I'll mention a fiction book that I'm reading, and they'll say, "I only read non-fiction. I need to learn something from what I read."
... I doubt his IQ is that high. In many parts of the world, people having an IQ of a certain level above average are organized in Mensa, the largest club of that kind. One thing you'll NEVER see there is bragging about it, or even mentioning their own score. Is seen as impolite and unnecessarily arrogant - rightfully so. If his number were true, he might be qualified to join, but I doubt anyone would be excited to see him at a meeting.
There is nothing unintelligent about "I'm somewhere between a snake and a mongoose"
I normally don't do this.however, they asked for it. At a very cursory going over, one I would give any text such as this, I counted eleven major grammatical or spelling errors. 136 my a**e.
Not everything has to be educational. People can of course watch stuff just for fun. I still watch cartoons whenever i want to get away from my daily struggles and it works :)
I learn more from Dwight than from the big haired dude on Ancient Aliens.
I think hes the one that needs help. THE OFFICE IS AWESOME! P.s.Also he forgot punctuation the first message so he cant tell her anything if he doesn't even use correct grammar.
Such a small, petty person, the type who simply must join Mensa, then proceed to tell everyone about it. My IQ is supposed to be way higher than this (not a humble brag, just relevant to what I'm saying), and 1) I don't particularly understand things any better than anyone else does and 2) they proved ages ago that IQ tests don't really mean anything. At all. It's just something to try to lord over others. 🤮 Sorry guys, this one hits me hard.
"Television like that only rots your brain" Clearly he's speaking from experience.
If they were actually intelligent, they would know that sometimes it's beneficial to let your brain rest and watch/read something trivial that doesn't require serious mental effort.
Laughter is as important even more important to help us stay emotionally well! I think we all need a daily dose of comedy for our sanity! It increases serotonin and helps us reduce stress and that helps us think clearer!
Your IQ will only be properly measured if there is something evident in your behaviour; learning difficulties or genius. 136 is above average but certainly not genius level, so I suspect this numpty either made it up or did one of those IQ tests you find on the internet - which will usually tell you that anything above 130 is high which it really isn't. Either way, nobody cares about IQ.
Anything over 130 IS high, depending on which test is used. If it's something like the WAIS, 130 is 2 standard deviations above the mean. So yes, that's high. Of course, the number only means so much. It's certainly not as important as this guy thinks it is.

Clearly he needs to put his intelligence to work to learn charm and social graces.
You probably know a person who wouldn’t miss a chance to throw their opinion here and there, or give advice without being asked. And even though everyone seems to be less than impressed with their gesture, it seems like nothing can stop them. Are they just being nice? Do they feel an urge to show off? What’s up with that?
Psychologists believe that unsolicited advice-givers tend to be rigid in the way they approach life in general. They typically believe that they are right, and when they approach a problem, they often have difficulty seeing the situation from multiple perspectives. This is why you should always take such advice with a pinch of salt.

Sometimes, their perspective lacks humility and insight, even though they often seem very competent to people around them. Same with sharing their opinion on matters when no one really asks them. They wouldn’t do that if they genuinely did not believe they were right.
On the other hand, we just all have to accept that some people really like talking. You see, it’s much more fun to talk than to listen and not every talker can be a great listener. Moreover, we have to realize that one of the most powerful communication skills you'll learn is good listening at an early point in your life. After all, communication is meant to promote understanding between people and you can never get to that point if you’re not listening to others.

I do not understand this obsession with sharing about absolutely everything online. Bathroom habits? sexual habits? fantasies? periods? pimples? rows with family and friends? relationship stuff? nothing is off limits and I don't understand it at all.

I'm actually starting to wonder how many of these are bots, trolls, attention seekers, or people who just aren't familiar with how social media works....
By far my favorite was the weird old toy doll post and someone replying about having a small white dog. Wtf is going on? Made me laugh/cry and I don't know why. I'm ashamed of how tickled it made me
Let's be honest, a good chunk of people share way too much online. A lot of media stories are things we don't need to know about celebs.
It's almost Hallowe'en (I assure you, that's the correct spelling; look it up) and none of these are Hallowe'en themed. I was almost an editor, but I got a better job. Now, I drive a BMW.
My birthday is Jan 26. Was having a nice birthday until some clown dmed me on twitter a few minutes before midnight. The awesome message they sent me was a screenshot of one of many articles talking about Kobe Bryant's death, as if it was my fault that he died. Just had to end my birthday on a sour note, I guess.
i dont get how #37 (the soup post) looks yummy, imo it looks like vomit
To be fair, I think some of these are just straight-up trolling, though it's hard to tell from texts alone.
"Pardon me ? -I already have a boyfriend! -Yeah, whatever, here is your phone that you forgot at the library."
