One doesn’t need to look too far to find acts of stupidity where common sense has taken a backseat. You can easily find facepalm-worthy moments of popular celebrities online. But it’s not just them; most of us, at some point have acted foolishly.
However, it’s ignorant people who don’t take time to pause and reflect. They often stick to their opinions, no matter how irrational they sound. These people are oblivious to their own shortcomings. Sometimes when they are presented with a chance to learn and grow, they find it difficult to break free from their usual habits.
Look At This Idiot
You're On The Internet, Which Is American
These are the people we complain about when complaining about the US, not the normal people living there. Maybe clarifying that can prevent a huge us vs Europe fight here.
Reasoning with such stubborn people can be quite frustrating. And some people deal with these hopeless instances by calling out stupid people online. Just like members of the r/facepalm group, who have been doing this since August 2009. In the last 15 years, they have amassed a community of more than 8 million people, who often share the most disappointing moments they have witnessed.
But what exactly is stupidity? It’s when our ability to learn and understand things gets messed up. Several prominent psychologists believe that cognitive limitations are the reason behind people’s foolish actions and irrational beliefs. Research highlights how human cognition and decision-making persistently cause these biases. Depending on the situation, people switch from quick, intuitive thinking to slow, logical thinking.
Daaaamn
Difficult to know though. BTW, I hope it was Soundwave, he's he most annoying transformer ever. ;)

Yep That Sound Right
Conservatives: don't send aide to other countries when it could be spent here at home. Bill for free school lunches pass. Conservatives: no not like that. *eye rolled to death*
Now, our brain’s frontal lobes are responsible for rational thinking. But it can be overridden by the amygdala, a small, almond-shaped structure that usually processes emotions, like fear and aggression. Neuroscientists noted that in emergencies requiring quick decision-making, slower, rational information processing is ignored by the brain.

So, cognitive biases can help us understand some of the stupid decisions people make. For instance, people can be vulnerable to confirmation bias, where they tend to stick to information based on their existing beliefs. In such cases, they just ignore any evidence that contradicts them.
Imagine someone who strongly believes in a particular conspiracy theory. They will not think twice before dismissing any evidence or arguments that contradict their preconceived idea. This selective attention to available information can make them make nonsensical remarks.

Threaten Us With A Good Time, Why Don't You?
A new study published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface suggests that social media might be amplifying such stupidity. While constantly scrolling through our phones, we might encounter false or misleading information presented as fact. In such cases, we might make stupid comments due to our inaccurate knowledge.
Presumptuous
Never heard of that eamonn guy before, but he sounds like an a-hole

And he'd better finish cleaning that car or he'll get fired . And, pick up that trash!
Before making any remarks, we should try and educate ourselves about the topic. This spares us the embarrassment of sounding foolish and helps us make a more thoughtful and informed choice. We should acknowledge our ignorance to confront the pitfalls of stupidity. Questioning our assumptions is a great way to have a more grounded perspective on life.

Self-awareness helps us gain deeper insights into our behavior. We can also try learning from our past experiences. Consider a scenario where someone made a foolish comment on Insta. People online called them out and corrected them. After this experience, the person might develop a habit of verifying facts before posting them.

They light a candle. When it has burned through a rope, an egg is released down a ramp landing in a frying pan until a hungry tortoise starts heading toward it and pulls the trigger causing a watertap to open and fill a bathtub with rubber ducks in it. When the first duck hits the floor, they're done.

Did he go and turn down your thermostat? Or turn it up? Asking for a friend. Someone once said to me as I was fixing a neighbours car as a favour because the guy was suffering from emphysema, "Do you honestly want to spend the rest of your life doing that kind of ẞhitty work?" What, you mean like helping people who can't help themselves? I hope that aßhole got bugger-all out of life!!!!

The pressure put on some k-pop stars to be perfect is insane. She actually had to issue an apology for being in a relationship. I think they have since ended the relationship due to the backlash. Is she meant to remain single for the rest of her life so that deluded fans can continue to fantasise about her being their girlfriend?

Just Leave Your Neighbor Alone
Aaaah yes... The agressive Buddhists. Always out there causing conflict and antagonising people.
I'm so tired of having to say "under Buddha' in the pledge of allegiance, or having "in Buddha we trust" on our money. When will they stop shoving their religion down our throats? The 1st amendment gives us a separation of church and state.
Load More Replies...You could be disappointed when you realise that Buddha actually existed.
😎 Some prob won't believe you, lol. They can look up Siddhārtha Gautama - if they can be bothered, that is. ;) 'Aggressive' & 'Buddha' in the same sentence ... 👀👀👀
Load More Replies...I know some of the people here are just poking fun, but violent Buddhist extremism does exist, for example in Myanmar. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-21/buddhist-extremism-meet-the-religions-violent-followers/10360288 I am a white western convert myself, so no hate against Buddhism in general. I just want to educate others, because I only learned about this because an ex was writing a thesis about it.
And they don't support your football team either, so that pennant has to go. And don't start me about the colour they've painted their house ... and they have a cat, not a dog, so call the vet to have it put down. You can do this - it's a free country, right?
Actually, yes. Not in this case, but for exampel Burma and Sri Lanka has seen a lot of it
Load More Replies...Naw that would be to underwhelming. This screams for a giant "Buddy Christ" plastic statue
Load More Replies...Why don't you simply put your religious trinkets on your property. Your neighbor didn't put his statue on your property. Geeze, white Christian entitlement.
Why not put a statue of Jesus or Mary in your own yard? That'd be simpler.
Thank God you are not my neighbor. You ever hear of Freedom of Religion?
FFS we have Buddha bars with the far guy sitting on an alter surrounded with booze. Imagen the Xstians if some put a statue of JC in the middle of a honky-tonk.
Sadly, Buddhists are not always the gentle people they proclaim themselves to be. Buddhist monks will physically attack a female that dares to talk to them. Same as so many other religions.
Is he some kind of Kung Fu monk or something? How do you even have an aggressive Buddhist?
Look up the role they played in both Sri Lanka and Myanmar, not nice reading though. Whilst others an exception, still an example.
Load More Replies...Liable for what? What does he imagine will happen by hanging jewelry on a statue?
Aggressively Buddhist.. read what you wrote asshat. And Trespassing with Vandalism is a crime.
Um, yeah - you would not only be trespassing, you would be vandalizing his property. Here's an idea - wake the f*ck up and learn that your religion is NOT THE ONLY ONE!
Stupid ignorant, with people like that we are going to go back to the caves any day now.
Yes, 1 singular buddha statue is so aggressive. Next thing you know, they'll be wearing talisman of them around their necks and in their ears. And every store you go to will be selling them. And they'll erect huge buildings where these people can go and worship and it's going to encourage people to go there. And then there'll be television shows specifically about Buddhism asking for money. And you'll see their decorations on the backs of cars and in a ton of people's tattoos and on their clothes and we'll have to look at everyday and just deal with there stupid beliefs spreading. Then politicians will use Buddhism as a means to try and control me and influence our elections. And your neighbors will be so insecure and illogical that they'll want to trespass onto my property and hang a necklace of their Buddha on my religion's- you know, the *right one*- decorative expression. It's really crazy. I wouldn't want my kids being influenced or exposed to that crazy Buddhist propaganda!
YES, he can charge you with trespassing,, why don’t you mind your own business?
Won't someone please think of the children??? That Buddha statue might make them start speaking in tongues!
If you cross my backyard to touch my stuff, I guess this would be the only moment the gun laws would be useful in the states for real. I'm Norwegian, guns here are legal. Nothing ever happens, but if this happens to me. Lady is gonna end up like a real living crucified garden gnome
