Few things are as embarrassing as confidently saying something and being completely wrong. Everyone makes honest mistakes, but some people are so confident in their ignorance that they have no trouble saying the craziest stuff with their whole chests out. We also might be seeing more of this, as research shows that Americans’ IQ scores have decreased between 2006 and 2018.

If you don’t believe us, check out these posts from the Facebook group “Well, That’s Just Incorrect,” where people share the funniest examples of people being wrong but doing so in the most confident manner. If we had the level of self-assurance of these people, we’d be unstoppable.

    To be fair, our brains are actually still developing until we are 30. The oldest of the GenZ cohort are on the cusp, but the vast majority of them are still teenagers and very young adults who are still learning. Also, Gen Z scores higher than other generations in empathy and social awareness.

    well the ovaries produce an egg which will grow into a person, and that persons body will (hopefully) have a pancreas. So it's correct, in a wrong and stupid way.
