63 Times People Were So Confident, Only To Be Embarrassingly Wrong (New Pics)
We all get things wrong sometimes—it happens. Maybe you mix up the capital of a country, forget a historical fact, or confidently tell someone something before realizing you were completely mistaken. And that’s okay! Nobody knows everything, and there’s nothing wrong with admitting when you got something wrong. But there’s a special kind of cringe when someone says something completely incorrect with the confidence of a person who has absolutely no doubt they’re right.
Today, we dove into Reddit’s r/ConfidentlyIncorrect to find some truly memorable examples. From people confidently sharing bizarre “facts” to those who doubled down even after being corrected, these moments prove that being loud, certain, or extremely confident doesn’t necessarily make you right. Keep scrolling, Pandas, to see the hilariously awkward moments that might make you cringe, laugh, and wonder how they were ever so sure.

“You Don’t Need That”(Medical Bracelet).. Bc Ya Know, You Can Always Talk In An Emergency

The fact that the bracelet would have to removed before doing an MRI is exactly what should guarantee it works, no? Moreso than for other medical issues where staff might forget to look for a medical alert piece before, say, administering an allergen.

There's a rather well-known film the commenter really ought to watch before denying the existence or usefulness of green tomatoes. Actually (much as I love the film), everyone should read the book, which is better. Though I have a sneaking suspicion this person might have a hard time with the much more explicitly queer aspects in "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café", as written by Fannie Flagg, as opposed to the very subtle portrayal directed by Jon Avnet, which would likely go right over their head.

Being 40% Body Fat Requires Being At A Minimum Of 600 Pounds
Bob Brooce 1 month ago
Again, I get that some people have trouble with percentages, but I still can't wrap my head around this level of stupidity. Do they not even understand what 50% is? I'd think that and knowing that 40 and 50 aren't hugely far apart would make it obvious approximately how heavy a 600 pound person would (still) be if they lost 40% of their body weight.

Birds Do Love Mosquitoes And They're Great Pollinators
Spencers slave no more 1 month ago (edited)
Mosquitoes are accidental pollinators and are eaten by some bird species. In my rural neck of Northland NZ , with a creek over the fence, mozzies are pretty plentiful food for native pīwakawaka (fantails) and waxeyes/silvereyes. Native Kōtare (kingfisher) prefer skinks. My cats and foster kittens love watching them from their deckio.

Green Arrow At Intersection

PSA: You *never* really have the right of way. ROW is something given by other drivers when they properly yield. Failure to understand what may seem like a mere semantic difference is how people get hit by oncoming traffic when turning left on a green arrow, especially one that happens right after straight traffic gets a red light.

I Hope This Guy Doesn't Do His Own Wiring
Bob Brooce 1 month ago
For those of you unfamiliar with the basics of electrical distribution - It's true that wire has to be sized based on amps, so you need a wire just as big for 15 amps at 12 volts as for 15 amps at 120 or 240 volts. Power is measured in watts, and watts are amps * volts. A 120 volt refrigerator that requires 15 amps is using 1800 watts, so if it's powered from a 12 volt source it would require 150 amps to make up for having 1/10th the voltage. Bonus advanced electrical distribution info - voltage drops in direct proportion to the length of the circuit, voltage, and amps. If you want 1800 watts from a 12 volt power source you're going to need a circuit that's short or wire that's fat.
