Things posted on the internet cannot be unposted. That’s part of the game. But there are surely things we have posted that we’re not necessarily very proud of. Some, however, have no clue about their clueless arguments and remain unapologetic.

And there’s this corner of Reddit known as “S***AmericansSay” which is notorious for busting these kinds of instances. In fact, the community of 353k members is sharing the most cringeworthy and clueless posts spotted surfing on social media. That includes but isn’t limited to blunt arguments, embarrassing comments, hilariously inaccurate shares, you name it.

Below we selected some of the most entertaining examples that will surely make you chuckle and wonder what those people are thinking. Psst! Here's part 1 of the post with more stuff Americans (and the rest of the world, for that matter, ‘cause no one is immune to cluelessness) say!

“If You Are White You Cant Speak Spanish”

NotThe--FBI Report

The use of social media has increased throughout the world, including emerging and developing nations in recent years. And, across the 11 emerging economies surveyed for this Pew Research study, 28% of adults say social media is very important for helping them keep up with political news and other developments occurring in the world.

Simultaneously, the spread of misinformation has reached new heights. With the pandemic ransacking the globe, it has become vital to separate facts from fiction and stop the harm from false statements. Today, the question of what we hold as a true and trusted piece of information and not is key, but the boundaries between the two are becoming increasingly blurred. So what happened?

According to Kevin Kelli, the co-founder of Wired magazine, “Truth is no longer dictated by authorities, but is networked by peers. For every fact there is a counterfact and all these counterfacts and facts look identical online, which is confusing to most people.” When you think of it, most online content is created, shared and altered by people online. Add the lack of attention to whether the information is accurate, and you have a toxic cocktail for reproducing countless inaccurate and false content.

Meanwhile, this new study published in Nature that involves an experiment conducted by a group of researchers from MIT, the University of Regina in Canada, University of Exeter Business School in the United Kingdom and Center for Research and Teaching in Economics in Mexico, showed some interesting findings about the way people perceive what’s inaccurate online.

“It seems that the social media context may distract people from accuracy,” study coauthor Gordon Pennycook, an assistant professor of behavioral science at the University of Regina, told The Journalist’s Resource. According to him, although people are often capable of distinguishing between true and false news content, they fail to even consider whether content is accurate before they share it on social media.

According to Pennycook, “The downstream effect of improving the quality of news sharing increases with the influence of the user who is making better choices.” He added: “It may be that the effect is as effective (if not more so) for users with more followers because the importance of ‘I better make sure this is true’ is literally greater for those with more followers.”

He must be either unbelievably sheltered or a troll. Americans don't have an accent? I can think of three within the US just off the top of my head! (Please forgive me if I'm using too broad a brush here): Bostonian, Southern, Mid-Western. Distinctly different. Definitely accents.

And then you have England where every if you jump in your car and drive any direction for 45 minutes you'll find a new accent. Not to mention Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. And even those have local accents that differ every 25 miles. It's mad haha

For some reason, American accents in real life are so much more prominent than on TV. I don't know how to explain it...but the first time an American spoke to me in person I was like "whoah, that's loud."

What you hear on TV and in movies is what we call the "non-accent." It's American without any regional affect. So like centrally midwestern minus the upper midwest scandie lilt that one would here in northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. In real life there are so many regional dilects and accents and each are pretty aggressive on the ear. And we're all loud, just in general. Someone once said it's the space. The majority of us live in large spaces, and are educated in large spaces, and have to traverse long spaces because there is just so much space here, we speak loudly out of neccessity and don't realize how obnoxiously loud we are until we're in a different environment. And given American confidence most tend not to realize they're that loud until it's pointed out.

I was about 12 when somebody told me that yes, Canadians have accents, it just seems like no accent to me because everyone around me has the same one. It took me about 60 seconds to assimilate that knowledge and move on.

This person must have either not consumed content from nor met an American from a different region from him. Either he did, and he just ignored the clear accent differences. When I was 8, I (from New York) went to school in California, and the other kids immediately knew I was from NY because of my accent and how fast I spoke.

I grew up in the southern Appalachian mountains. I moved away from there 40 years ago, but I have never tried to lose my accent. I live in southern California now, and most folks find my accent to be charming. I have relatives who live farther south, and their accents are very different from mine. But, yeah, Americans don't have accents. 🙄

Well, I guess it's just one of those things where we all are used to our way of speaking and since alot of Americans are stuck up people who think we are better than anyone else, this kind of stuff happens. I do know alot of people, including myself though, who are fully aware we speak with an accent to other people.

I'm not sure where I stand on this one. On the one hand, the original post is right to be outraged that these things were done so blatantly and without oversight or consequences. But at the same time, it's astonishingly naive to believe it never happened before and won't happen again (just with oversight and consequence).
