Everyone likes to think that they’re pretty smart and at the top of their game all the time, but the truth is, we all do and say some pretty dumb things sometimes. Like eating an entire bucket of KFC or looking everywhere for our glasses while we’re wearing them (true story). However, sometimes people mess up so badly that they end up on the internet when it looks like brain.exe stopped working for them.
Most of us know that embarrassing memories of dumb stuff that we did back in school/work/last Monday tend to resurface at the worst possible moments. So to make you feel better about yourself, Bored Panda has collected a list of some awesomely dumb things that people have said and done.
There’s nothing like other people messing up to make us forget all of our mistakes for a moment, right, dear Pandas? Scroll down, upvote your fave pics, and if you feel brave, let us know what the stupidest things you’ve ever done were! You can check out our earlier articles about stupid people doing stupid stuff here and here. Oh, and here's the coronavirus edition of dumb people acting dumb.

There are two kinds of stupidity. The kind where we don’t know that we’re being stupid. And the type where we definitely know but don’t want to stop. No matter how important and wise we might be, we’ll still make mistakes.
But there are reasons why human beings do stupid things, even if we’re aware that what we’re doing is wrong.
There are two kinds of pleasure. The first one that some call ‘liking’ is happy satisfaction that we get from eating a good meal, having a drink of water after a fun game of basketball, or getting a hug from a friend you haven’t seen in ages. Simple, wholesome things that make life wonderful.
Socialism
Who’s Gonna Tell Her
Well, she actually meant that she wanted the pope as father for her baby, but he refused
Why Korean Man Make Korean Movie
The second kind of pleasure, ‘wanting,’ is associated with thrills and desire. It’s the second kind of pleasure that makes us do stupid things that can have lots of negative consequences.
Sometimes, we say, “Damn the consequences” and do something small that’s stupid; no real harm done, right? Wrong. This can have a snowball effect and we’ll start doing dumber and dumber things. The next thing you know, we might end up on the internet before our brain.exe could reboot and save the day.

It's bad enough if you just don't understand fractions, but in this case she has the measuring cups in front of her and actually decided to use the bigger one....for less sugar.
She might have doubled the recipe and forgotten to mention it.

It's amazing how many adults still don't understand fractions. At 30 my friend asked what 1/4 is? "is it a third?" he asked??
People with "fraction stupidity" are the worst. I literally had to draw 3 pies, showing that they were all sliced into 3 pieces so my 34 year old sister could understand that 3 ÷ 1/3 equals 9. (No, the answer is not 1. I'm not asking you to divide 3 into thirds. - Think it through & get back to me). She teaches 3rd graders.
I'm guessing she'd have doubled it to 1/6 cup.

Honestly, these people need to SEE what 1/4 and 1/3 looks like before they can understand fractions.
Ah yes, thd lower the number the less it must be XD 1/2 cup wouldnt have been enough :p
Every time I wonder if people are really that stupid I come to Bored Panda for reassurance!!!!
Is it just me, or do people seem to be getting dumber every year? It's scarey.
Actually for Diabetics (like myself) it's best to use a natural alternative to sugar.
Sugar is sugar regardless of the source. For diabetics sugar substitutes like Sweet and Low work. Honey IS sugar.

Did anyone else notice the other mistake? She thought 1l milk is 1 light milk, instead of a litre 🤦🏻♀️
My dad doesn't like things too sweet either. He likes what I don't like because I like sweet things more.

My grandfather knew a guy in Chicago who had a friend in Gary, Indiana (right across the state line from Chicago). The friend was about to move to Illinois – SOUTHERN Illinois, over 300 miles away from Chicago. The guy was overjoyed. He thought that since his friend was moving to Illinois, they would be living in the same state, and therefore would be living closer together! People tried to explain to the guy that they would be living farther apart, but he never got it, was unable to understand the concept.
I’ve been asked if the country I’m from celebrates 4th of July. When I said no they said “oh so you don’t celebrate New Years either.” I was confused. I’ve also been asked numerous times what someone’s name means in my language in response I ask them what my name means in English and they say it doesn’t mean anything. So why would theirs mean something in mine.
Some people choose stupidity, while others have stupidity thrust upon them. Either way, these people probably ate paint chips as kids. That didn't help matters.
I saw an ex-coworker after not seeing her for several years, and she asked me if I still had my tatoo...
Most of these have to be fake, I cannot believe people can really be this stupid. Please someone, restore my faith in humanity and tell me that most of these posts are fake.
Sorry. Been alive long enough to see enough stupid sh*t to know this is all possible. Some may be faked, but seriously, I had someone ask me once why I was on crutches. While I had a huge cast from knee to toes on one leg. Yep. They live among us. *sigh*

I'm so happy & proud to have been in a great school, in a great school district. I think the issue in America is that all education is not uniform across all school districts, in all cities, in all states. I hear that in many other countries, this is not the case, and their education is a lot more uniform. I live in Oak Park Illinois and I know a lot of people who are from a different town who are my age and have not had the same education. You need to realize that these people have had different qualities of education. I was also raised with no television and hardly any movies, way back before the internet was a common thing. I was encouraged to read books. I was also taught to self educate. Not everyone has the wherewithal to pick up a book or utilize the internet to self educate & how to think for themselves & question everything instead of just parroting what they're told.
Yeah sounds a lot like a few people I know. They think everything they see on Facebook is real news. And they don’t know how to think for themselves. Many have a set of beliefs and will believe anything and everything negative that goes against those beliefs and don’t question it regardless of how idiotic it seems.

Okay so all this list has learnt me is that America is not only the dumbest country in the world but the dumbest country on the entire planet.
