40 Times People Came Across Such Confidently Wrong Statements, They Just Had To Share ‘Em

The sciences like astronomy and medicine use the metric system as a standard regardless of what country you're in (yes that includes the US). The metric system is all based on tens and it's very easy to convert between units of measurement, which reduces errors. Check any medication label, it's going to be in mg or micrograms

Correlation does not equal causation!

This is what happens when Republicans defund education.

This person is probably why the family moved to Sweden.

*sobs in American English*

Just. WOW.

Did they import all the bodies of the fallen when they moved it?

I don't think that word means what you think it means

Well called.

I think he means “ciao” which is an Italian word used as an informal greeting or parting. Also, you say that America is a safe country yet there are people like you shooting guns while smoking joints, seems bout right.

A metaphor is comparing two things without using like or as. "Her tears were a river flowing down her cheeks." Similes are comparing two things with like or as. "She is as dumb as a post." I hope this helped

Stop the planet, I want to get off

This is why health class and s e x education are important for everyone! We all need to learn about everyone's body and functions. These are the same people who want girls to "hold their periods in." 🤦‍♀️😭😫

My head hurts

I have a friend who is blue/green colorblind who uas had more than one eye doctor tell her she cannot be colorblind because "only men are colorblind". Apparently, she's just been faking it her whole life!

And it would actually be "over time" as well, with a space between the words.

Wait 'til you tell them that Taiwan isn't part of China!

I guess this is because eggs are always near dairy in stores?

Guys! John Wayne Gacy has killed way more people than I have in my entire lifetime, so we should just forget about that murder I did.

Typical, a religious (christian) person who doesn't know his own holy book.

Yer. Y'all. Youse.

You’re wrong, well actually you’re right, but you’re still wrong because of this unrelated thing you never even argued.

Wait till they find out about mammals living in the ocean full time.

Well if they're worshipping Lucifer they're obviously Christian...as far as I know that's the only religion that believes Lucifer is the king of hell or whatever.

Ma'am i'm going to have to ask you to move away from the camera

Executive, judicial, and legislative. Right now I'm really questioning the judicial, the other two have always been in question.

Again, I don't think that word means what you think it means. Step up your wiki game.

Please reason up 😂😂😭

i've never seen star wars and i don't know who natalie portman is but i know she's in it

So everything that costs €0.99 is free?

I wonder why someone would rather risk death than spend the next 45 years of their life working to pay off a medical bill. Such a mystery. We will never know.

this smells fishy

The X represents the Greek letter Chi, which is where the word Christ actually originated from. It is not "crossing Christ out" as some people seem to think.

When did the plants go on strike? I missed that news flash.

Before electricity, you had to rub the tea leaves together really fast

did this person just give Ireland a gender?

I want to see 5280 feet on one animal! Ok, not really, but a shoe-salesperson might.

Mom says it's my turn to be friends with Google.

Oh yes I remember standing in that long line in 1960 to get my Monkey vaccine in a sugar cube. Started loving bananas that day.

Bush had a few decent songs, ngl.

42 making the sister the answer to life, the universe and everything

Urdu speaker here. Tell me one word of English that is original. Fun fact, the English word pajama/pyjama comes from Urdu, which in turn takes it from the Farsi words of “pi” (leg) and “jama” (cloth)

Every time I try to milk a cow, I get muscle tissue just squirting out the teats.

The stupid... It burns.

I'll admit. I just googled "blm land". Bureau of land management. For a second I was really worried they'd come up with a new and exciting way of being racist.

A startlingly large number of people don't know the difference between an "animal" and a "mammal". A major flaw in our education system.

Yup, it's called pregnancy brain. "Damn where did I leave my keys, c**p lost my autism again ..."

I tried that once, I got the response that you can't use per capita statistics as the US has more people, I gave up at that point.

Logic and simple comprehension is past you, I guess 😅

Where do they come up with this stuff? "Sir" derives from the honorific title sire; "sire" developed alongside the word "seigneur," also used to refer to a feudal lord.

thats one of the reasons the franklin expedition to find the north west passage through the artic failed. the Innuit told them not to eat the polar bear livers but the far more inteligent english lord didn't believe them and many of the crew died. they started eating polar bear because the tinned foods they took with them had been sealed with lead which sent many of the men insane. on the few human remains found there have been tool marks on the bones which is an indicator of cannablism. the doctor who found this out was vilified by the uk government because an english gentleman would never resprt to cannablism. Dr John Ray was correct, but he still is pretty unknown among explorers but he is the main source for early contact with the canadian innuit and learned much from them before even starting his adventures

In fairness to the moron, it is a bit counterintuitive.

Don’t forget cats.

This looks extremely fake. The paragraphs of text seem photoshopped - they aren't in the usual Twitter font, they're sharper than the rest of the picture, and the topmost one is too far to the right if you check near the username

50%?!? The hell kinda country you thinking of?

He “cracks up” which I guess makes him a cracker.

I want to win an Oscar just for existing. Or a Nobel prize, I don't mind. I'm not fussy 😄

Bro thats an og joke not a satanic message. I’m a Christian and that is funny.

If the sun has no power when it’s cold, then why do people risk snow blindness if they don’t shade their eyes when skiing, walking, or whatever on snow when the sun is bright in the sky? Why do some people ski on bright sunny days while wearing bathing suits and other warm weather clothing if the sunshine reflecting off the snow doesn’t generate enough heat to feel warm, but not melt the snow? Then there’s the light the sun gives off all year round. Hell, even in Alaska when it’s dark in winter, there are still a couple hours of light during the day, though the sun stays low on the horizon during those hours—-then they have midnight sun all summer. And let’s not forget the effect of solar flares and sunspots on the Earth. Heat is not the only power the sun has.

Yep it's all trial by combat over here. That's why we need all the guns.

The dude who got all his evolution knowledge from pokemon...

Back in the day, when we were kids, I would try to correct one of my brothers on this kind of thing. Since it was before Google, I'd hand him a dictionary. Then he'd respond, "It doesn't say that," and walk out of the room. It was stupid coming from a 12-year-old boy. It's beyond assinine coming from a grownup.

Ah yes. So nice to live in a country where everyone from the LGBTQ community has always been seen as equal and don't have their rights stripped away on an almost daily basis. Oh, wait...😭😭😭

Ah yes, who could forget about those famous redcoat Union soldiers? Who needs standardized education🤦‍♀️

It´s true that "Bimbo" was or is used as an anti-black slur in German. How that should negate the fact, that is also a diminuative for child in Italian is beyond me.
