Some people are so wrong you don’t know whether to laugh or cry. And unfortunately, they are often also the ones that proclaim their ‘truths’ the loudest. That’s why their incorrect statements have to be refuted loudly as well, and what better way to reach a vast audience than turning to the good old internet?

Refuting false information is exactly what the ‘Confidently Incorrect’ subreddit is for. To be more exact, it’s “for those times when people are way too smug about their wrong answer”, according to their own description. Even though the community was started just a few years ago, in 2020, it has already amassed nearly 990k members, eager to show just how wrong—yet confident—some people can be. We’ve gathered some pretty colorful examples of that, so scroll down to find them on the list below and enjoy.

Metric System At It Again

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

I genuinely find it interesting how some people use imperial measurements for some things. There are several non-American Youtubers I watch that use feet and inches and I don't think it's for their American audience considering pretty much the entire world uses metric. Like, an Aussie used the mile as their lap measurement for the mock marathon they were running, as well as feet and inches for the canoe they were refurbishing. A Canadian outdoorsman used feet and inches to measure snow but also used kilometers to describe the distance they were going to hike. I'm not arguing about which is better just or whatever as I couldn't care less. Obviously us American use metric in certain instances and Ive found it interesting when the reverse happens.

I'm British. I use metric in general, but when baking I use imperial weights and volumes, and when I'm sewing I use inches to measure rather than cm. I have no idea whatsoever why.

Oh give it up on metric vs imperial. A Roman mile isn't an imperial mile (irony much) and an ell i8sn't a legit measure anywhere, so just accept that STEM is metric and love the 10s. We still all tell time the same oddball way, let's just hug each other over that, please?

When it matters (in anything built at all, so, if you can see it and touch it) metric is used in the UK. Weirdly, people will still say they’re 6foot tall and 13 stone, but thankfully there’s no issue if that measurement is out at all so we carry on

    Watching someone dig their own grave by being smug about their wrong answer can be surprisingly amusing. However, misinformation online is quite a prevalent problem in this day and age. And it’s likely that the internet is where such mistaken people find the false information in the first place.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Even if that’s not where they learn it, they might find supporting statements online nevertheless. Pew Research Center pointed out that, according to a 2016 study, people tend to seek information online that aligns with their views. (Even—or maybe especially so?—if they’re far from the truth.)

    Pew Research Center also revealed that after the election in 2016, 64% of adults believed fake news stories can cause a great deal of confusion. However, as much as 23% of them admitted to have shared fabricated political stories themselves, whether by mistake or intentionally.

    According to Pew Research Center, the way fake news spreads is based on people’s primal quest for success and power, which is why it’s likely to persist in the future. Experts predict that, “manipulative actors will use new digital tools to take advantage of humans’ inbred preference for comfort and convenience and their craving for the answers they find in reinforcing echo chambers.”

    Another enabling factor for the spread of misinformation online is the fast pace of technological change. It is believed that the rising speed, reach and efficiency of the internet, together with an abundance of online applications, can magnify the aforementioned human tendencies to the extent that false information crowds out reliable information.

We have very, very few POC, you can literally live your entire life and not interact with anyone who isn't white. So a lot of people are watching the news, say from France, and in their logic, we don't have lootings and riots because we don't have POC. I stopped arguing with them. There's no point.

    Studies reveal that nearly 40% of kids believe everything they read on the internet. But children can’t be the only ones who take whatever they read online for a fact. It’s likely safe to assume that most of us have bought something we saw online that ended up being false information at least once.

    Since they only care about the safety of children, they're going to support legislation that lessens the rights of straight people, right? Since by sheer numbers straight people groom way more minors than any other group. What about the Catholic Church? Well known for it's pedophile issues. Going to make it illegal for them to host children and take away their tax exempt status, right?

    I'm sure there might be some drag queens who grooms, just like there's plumbers who groom, or lawyers, or politicians, or teachers... Groomers are regular people and drag queens are regular people. How on Earth is it possible to ban an entire category of jobs because of what some people, who coincidentally did that job, behaved? Blame the people, not the job. I'm pretty sure there have been many more cases of grooming priests (and many that did way more than grooming BTW), but I still see priests around, don't I?

    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

    “Their comment was the explosive diarrhea of their mouth merging with the constipation of their brain.” Too bad the person who tried to school them in the difference between simile and metaphor was simply too shocked at the stupidity to write something like that.

    Ya know, I get how Grammer can be difficult for some people, there plenty of things I get confused too. The internet and all the short-handed out there today probably aren't helping things. Don't double down when someone corrects you without at least looking it up to make sure you're correct first. That's when you actually make yourself look dumb.

    But then why do we continue to believe the online world, you may wonder? Well, Forbes delved deeper into that and pointed out that looking for information online is easy—why go to a library when you have an array of webpages ready at your fingertips? Moreover, there are also no gatekeepers scanning and filtering information.

    “Instead of browsing a small carefully curated set of high-quality informational streams, our online citizenry are thrown into an ocean of almost limitless low-quality information, forced to expend considerable effort to forage for the rare bit of accurate insight,” the article read in part.

    It pointed out that nowadays, instead of turning to a competent person, equipped with all the necessary knowledge, people tend to do a quick online search and click on the first link, whether it’s reliable or not.

    Similarly to counting on the things online to be true, we tend to also believe the confident people around us. As a matter of fact, our brains are wired in a way that allows them to influence our beliefs.

    According to a 2017 study, people base their beliefs on three main factors: personal experience, views of the majority, and views of the confident people. The study of 23 individuals revealed that the first two were positively linked to the reward system in our brain, responsible for how happy we are after choosing something. Yet, the third one—the opinion of confident people—was the only one to have an additional effect on that reward system.

    A lot of people would do well to spend more time on Wikipedia. It can't be considered as offering proof of anything and the accuracy isn't guaranteed, but it is an excellent starting point, often has the links to the information of high quality, and has generally been pretty reliable in my experience. I think it gets its reputation as a joke only due to anyone being able to edit it (although that's not entirely true) and because teachers don't let you cite it (which is appropriate). But it really is a fantastic source of knowledge and a gift to mankind. Why Wikipedia Works https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/03/why-wikipedia-works.html

    The instances from the ‘Confidently Incorrect’ subreddit are excellent examples of why one should never blindly trust everything they see online or learn from confident people. Or at least, why they should fact-check the information. Luckily, a 2022 survey revealed that as many as nine in ten Americans actually do.

    I *think* eggs are only close to dairy in shops in the USA. There are regulations there requiring eggs to be washed. This strips them of a coating, and means they have to be refrigerated. In other countries eggs don't have to be kept in a fridge, and so aren't kept near the milk. Where I live, the eggs are kept beside the baking aisle (flour, sugar, etc).

    I grew up in the states, during the 60's & 70's. There was something called the food pyramid as guide to different food groups. One group was 'eggs and dairy'. I am sure there are people who link the two together.

    In the 5 food group pyramid, eggs and dairy are typically lumped together hence the continuous confusion.

    According to the U.S. Geological Survey, published scientific estimates of the global CO2 emissions for all on land and submarine volcanos “lie in a range from 0.13 gigaton to 0.44 gigaton per year.” This is a fraction of the CO2 produced by human activity. In 2021, the global CO2 emissions from energy combustion & industrial processes alone reached a record high of 36.3 billion tonnes (or gigatons, GT), data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) showed. “On a global level, volcanoes currently emit just a few percent of the man-made CO2 production,” Bechkne said, highlighting that CO2 emissions of human activity have dramatically increased in the past decades, while volcanic emissions have not." https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-volcanoes-co2/fact-check-volcanoes-do-not-produce-more-co2-emissions-than-human-activity-idUSL1N2XV1HA

    Here's what I think the problem with his math is. He calculated both as on time events. And while volcano is a one time event, the human contribution is ongoing. He likely used a number like xx billion metric tons in 2021. What he fails to account for is year to year contributions.

    I haven't done the research. Volcanos do indeed dump a ton of CO2, but unless it's a super volcano I doubt it is more than what humans have managed to do. I'll look into it though. I haven't done a deep dive into volcano LORE in a while.

    *sigh* First of all, the last volcanic eruption from a volcano on Greece (Santorini) was in 1950. Secondly, humans still produce more CO2 than all 1,500 +- active volcanoes, even when we have a lot of activity from them.

    Because when Jesus died he came to make a new commandment. The reason Christians don't eat kosher foods like Jews is because of Romans 14 when it says we can eat all foods. Basically, when Jesus came he got rid of the old laws which required sacrifice and stiff and made new ones because we no longer need rituals and sacrifice to get to heaven we just need to believe in him and accept his ultimate sacrifice

I have never been involved in a land war in Asia, nor have I gone up against a Sicilian when death was on the line. My soul is clean. How's yours?

    @Kristal, I don't want to seem rude or argumentative, However, I want you to be aware that your theology is a bit off. The English word Satan is a transliteration of a Hebrew word hasatan (it means adversary or accuser) The concept of hasatan did not originate in the New Testament from which we get the word Christian (see Acts 11:26) hasatan is introduced in the TaNakh (what the Israelites call their Holy Bible) or Old Testament. In the book of Job, about chapter 1 verse 6. The very first "christians" were TaNaKh readers, or Jewish sons of Abram, Isaac, and Jacob. TaNaKh is a Hebrew acronym for "Law, Prophets &Psalms. The Christ READ AND LIVED the TaNakh by example. The Messiah ONLY had the TaNaKh from which to prove in written form who he claimed to be. I ask you to read Like 24:44. Respectfully I disagree with your assessment that the accuser is an antiquated "Christian" construct. I believe you to be a sincere investigator of TRUTH! I HOPE you find it. I'd enjoy a discussion!

    Hey pandas. Would some of you be able to tone down your anti-religous stance? I am not a religous person, but religion in all forms is important to a lot of people, and treating it like a joke or something to be held with contempt is harmful to the people on here who are. While there are some churches and branches of religion that are actively harmful or hateful, this does not represent religion or religous people as a whole.

    That's pretty common programming for fringe evangelicals. Catholicism is seen as a "fallen" church and their particular denomination has found its way back to true righteousness. It comes back to the insecurities we all have and the need to put other people down to ignore our own flaws. It's easier to point fingers than it is to change. The fact is the Gospel is hard, factual or not. It calls us to help others where they are (not judge them) and change ourselves.

    2 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Read post entirely please. The reason but only half the cause. The other half of the cause is that those Americans pushing 'universal healthcare' are naively or calculatingly pushing only one model - single payer. And the reactionary element resisting the radical element is too stupid to realize there are so many other options that can keep privatized healthcare and provide healthcare for all. Basically, the US is dumb. As an American I should know :)

    Trees have been observed to smell chemical signals that were given off by nearby trees in distress. They take in air through their stomata, and can detect some chemicals in that air. Indeed, it can even be said that every living being on this Earth, even single celled ones, can communicate using the sense of smell. Noses are only a way of stopping cell membranes from drying out, thus ensuring chemical transfer between the air and the cells lining the nose. Other organisms (Eg. Fish and insects, but also plants) have other ways of keeping cell surfaces moist.

    In fairness, that 3rd definition likely came about as a result of long term misuse as described by OP in the same way literally now means figuratively too.

    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.

    Wait. . . Hold up. That's why some people make it a big deal?? They think it's a way of negating the Christ part? I'm a Christian, so's most of my family and friends. (But we aren't the crazy type. We'll, except for the one aunt, but we love her anyway.) Noone I know has a problem with Xmas and understands the X represents Christ. I thought people had a problem with in the same way some religions will write G-d instead of God, only in reverse. You have blown my mind and educated me. Thanks!

    This one bugs me so much. X has been used as a Christian symbol and to represent Christ from the earliest days of Christianity, and maybe predates the idea of Christmas itself (certainly the idea that Jesus was born on 25 December). People will object to Xmas but proudly put a fish symbol on their car. Grr!

    Oldass example from someone who's late for work!: X on a doc to show where signature goes. But why? Before common literacy, people still had to make their mark, even if they couldn't spell their name. People frequently used X for the same reason people use it for the same reason as Xmas. As Strawberry Pizza said, X=Christ. Similar correlation: criss-cross

    W is correct, if you're still using the two-fold phylogeny, from which "plant" gets its literal meaning. Traditionally, "plant" referred to any sessile organism. In newer phylogenies, there's an attempt to group things into "clades," so that no one type of organism gave rise to both other organisms of the same type, and to organisms not of the same type. This makes the use of English words to describe such clades virtually impossible, as not only are "jellyfish" and "starfish" no longer "fish," but neither are lungfish or sharks. And yes, "chickens" are "feathered dinosaurs."

He looked as if I’d struck him with a wet fish, and I didn’t know why. Later on, I twigged to what I’d said and desperately wished I could find him to explain that I’d had a momentary blip in my brain, but I never saw him again. Don’t blame him one bit. I’m STILL wincing about having said that!

    Right on. If each step averages 1.9075 ft from front to back a climber would traverse a mile. If each step is 8.6705 inches vertical than the initial statement is still true. However here is more information about the Manitou Incline: Length: About .9 mile / 1.4 km (plus nearly 3 miles / 4.8 km down Barr Trail) Elevation Gain: 2,020 ft / 615 m Base Elevation: 6,530 ft / 2012 m Summit Elevation: 8,550 ft / 2606 m Average Grade: 41% Steepest Grade: 68%

    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)

    Depending on the number of people in the poll, the difference between 60% and 50% may not be statistically significant. Learn a lot of statistics, folks, and ALWAYS state how many people were polled. A very rough guide is that the number of people in in the poll has to be the inverse square of the difference in percentages. So on this case you'd need to poll about 100 patients to confirm that the results are different from 50%. Did the poll include 100 patients? Pigs ar*e it did.

If it is leased to someone for a specific purpose, sometimes you can be charged with tresspassing. Pages and pages of rules and regulations on use.

    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

    Dude. I worked vitamins/supplements for almost three years. I'm no expert, but I did a LOT of research so I didn't sound like a moron at work/when recommending products. You absolutely CAN get vitamin toxicity. The so-called "fat-soluble" vitamins (A, D, E, K) CAN cause damage and even death if you overdose on them, because they get deposited in our fat deposits for long-term use. If you take even SLIGHTLY too-high doses of some of the fat-soluble vitamins, hypervitaminosis can happen rapidly. Sun, in the above conversation, is a moron.

    If a coin came up heads 50 times in a row, I would bet for it to come up heads the next time. Because I would suspect that it was not an evenly balanced coin. It is true that each flip does not affect the next one. But each flip gives you information about the fairness of the coin. If a roulette wheel comes up black a significantly disproportion amount of the time, you have to consider the possibility that the wheel is rigged. [You may be amazed to learn that this has actually occurred.)

    No. Racism and all the other -isms have always existed, as there has always been a fear of the unknown “other”, and we tend to fear the unknown and lash out at what we fear. We also dehumanize anyone we think of as the “them” to our “us”. Racism just got a huge boost when Christian dogma taught people that light was good and dark was evil. You know it wasn’t long before the colonialist powers jumped on that concept and simply applied it to skin color, thereby dehumanizing indigenous people in places the colonialists wanted to take over and drain of its resources. The darker skin “others” were looked upon as less than human, ignorant, sinful, and in need of “saving” from their “evil ways”—-enter the missionaries and their abuses, and even more colonizers who relegated indigenous people to second class citizen status. That’s the baked-in attitude that too many white people just cannot let the f**k go off. We are more alike than we’re different, ffs.

    Racism was invented by black people. Just look at the racism in Africa between the Hutu and Tutsi races for example. But then, white people were invented by black people, too.

    Wait til they hear about the Roman and Pagan festivals and gods/goddesses, and their connections to Christian religions. Saturnalia and Christmas, Liberalia and both Catholic Confirmation and Jewish bar/bat mitzvah, Easter and Eostre, the Roman goddess of spring. Oh, and Santa is derived from Saint Nicholas, who was a Turkish Bishop known for his great kindness which is why he was sainted, and who morphed into Sinterklaas. Father Christmas, Père Nöel, Kris Kringle, and Santa Claus, and other incarnations, depending on where you’re from and what time period you lived in.

    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.

They’ve never had their rights stripped away, never been gay-bashed, never been fired, never been shunned, never been committed to mental institutions, never been sent to be tortured at conversion camps, and never been sent to prison simply because their sexuality was considered immoral/unnatural/ILLEGAL at the time. Sure. None of that ever happened. Uh-huh. Right.

    Because of its states'rights rhetoric, the Confederacy had trouble standardizing its military. Units were raised by state governments, and those governents picked any color of uniform they pleased at first. Some blue-clad Southern units changed the color of their uniforms because they got tired of being shot at by their own side.

    I would like to know how the pollsters compiled their list of random people that by the book Scientific Method requires you to sample from. Considering the outcome, I highly doubt those 4401 people were a truly random sample, as the vast majority of the population really couldn’t give a fat rat’s a*s if a beer wants to expand its sales by appealing to a new demographic. Hell, more power to them if they actually succeed in attracting an entire new segment of the population to start drinking their beer.

    Survey companies do go to a great deal of trouble to obtain truly random samples. It is essential to their jobs, and they would be quickly out of business if they didn’t produce reliable and reproducible results. I don’t know how you arrived at your claim about what the population gives a rat’s a*s about. Did you take a survey?

    I mean I actually mixed this up till I was 12 so I feel that this is really just an honest mistake. No need to argue over this

    The first second of the noon minute is meridiem, though. It literally means "midday". The other 59 seconds of the noon minute can't possible be before the meridiem, which just happened a second ago, therefore noon must be PM.

    I mean, not to be that person, but isn't it also "Meridiem" ? Just asking for a friend.

    I positively hate people whe refer to 12 am and 12 pm. No it's not, it's midday or midnight.

    Hate to break it to you, but those aren't mutually exclusive terms. 12am is midnight, and 12pm is midday/noon. They are both things, not "only" midday or midnight.

    The PH of your blood is pretty specific, significant changes in your blood PH can straight up kill you.

    Yes, blood is highly buffered, making the pH stay constant. It is deadly when the pH changed.

    Yea, well, that turns out not to be true. On the pH scale, acids are defined as having a pH of less than 7 (low pH). Just saying.

    One doesn't have to be American to understand that melanin is a pigment occurring in the hair, skin, and iris of the eye in people and animals. Melatonin is a hormone that your brain produces in response to darkness. It helps with the timing of your circadian rhythms (24-hour internal clock).

    Which is why Melatonin is sold as an OTC sleep aid.

    Aha! So Americans aren’t the only dummies in the world! Wonder where this person is from, since they couldn’t resist dissing someone for being American. Anyone can be stupid, which carries connotations of being incapable of learning, or merely uninformed, which means able to learn. To be brutally honest, long ago I decided there are really only two kinds of people in the whole world. Nice people and a******s. A******s can sometimes be nice, and nice people can sometimes be a******s, but we’re all one or the other—-and we can’t choose which one. It’s up to other people to decide which we are. I can try to be a nice person, but I suspect I’m actually an a*****e.

    You're not American, but you're wrong. Melanin is the pigment in your skin; melatonin makes you sleepy. Sincerely, an American who's bloody tired of the xenophobia exhibited by people who would lose their shît if such behavior was aimed at them.

    Did you know, compasses have to be tuned for a specific latitude. If you change your latitude too much then it will stop working. In one hemisphere, the north pointing needle has to be heavier, in the other hemisphere the south pointing needle has to be heavier. To compensate for the dip in magnetic field lines into the Earth which is opposite in the other hemisphere.

    I looked up the word "pilling". It is a British term for "peeling". I had never seen the word before.

    I don't know what the comment/review refers to, but I think of pilling as something fabrics do (looking at you, previously comfy sweatpants that have been washed too many times.) I can't make either term make much sense referring to what the moisturizer does.

    Yep. Here are the calculations: 7,500 x 5,000,000 = 37,500,000,000, and 44,000,000,000 / 7500 = 5866666.66667. So yeah, he could’ve given 7500 employees a cool 5 million each, and had 6.5 billion left over.

    The trouble with RPG as a genre is that the edges are *really* fuzzy. Some things are definitely RPGs, some things definitely aren't, but there's a whole grey area between those two where it's harder to be sure. I'd argue that Witcher 3 is less of an RPG than Witcher 1, and both are less of an RPG than Baldur's Gate, but how about something like Tom Clancy's The Division? It's got a well developed narrative and lots of stat-based character development so it definitely has RPG elements; to me it doesn't "feel" like an RPG but I would also not argue with anyone who considers it part of the genre.
