There's nothing wrong with trusting yourself. On the contrary, self-confidence is linked to almost every element involved in a happy and fulfilling life. It provides greater motivation and more resilience, improves relationships, and strengthens your sense of authenticity.
But take it too far and you become impossible to put up with, behaving as if you are more important than other people — arrogant — and might even end up featured on the subreddit 'Confidently Incorrect.'
As we've already shown you in our previous publications here, here, and here, this online community is dedicated to taking down people who proudly make false statements. It's the ultimate online purgatory for liars. Continue scrolling to check out its latest "visitors."

“You Should Speak English”
I’m curious: why would you be so adamant about wanting to understand conversations complete strangers are having? 🧐
It isn't about wanting to understand the conversation. It's about hating immigrants of color. It's about making them feel like they don't belong. We have the same problem here in America.

Lol the guy speaking *English* in *Wales* is mad at someone for speaking another language. Hilarious. When I was in Wales people wouldn’t speak to me in English.
Whereabouts did you go? In my time visiting North Wales, people have always been more than happy to speak in English.
Load More Replies...There are approximately 3.1m people in Wales. Less than 30% are able to speak Welsh. The percentage of Welsh speakers varies by county from over 75% in Gwynedd in North Wales to around 15% in Southern counties such as Torfaen and Blaenau Gwent. As a Welsh learner in South East Wales I unfortunately seldom hear the language being spoken outside of schools, and certainly not in public. However, there has been a surge in Welsh language learners in recent years, thanks to more being taught in schools and it being more accessible with apps such as Duolingo. Even football is making a big difference, Welsh songs being sung in the stadium during international games sometimes you can only watch Wales games on Welsh language channel S4C! I'm proud of our language and glad to be helping it remain.
What a dumbass he deserved every moment of that and I'm so glad that person turned around and said something.

Load More Replies..."No one enjoys being wrong. It’s an unpleasant emotional experience for all of us," psychologist Guy Winch, Ph.D., said. "The question is how do we respond when it turns out we were wrong—when there wasn’t enough milk left for coffee, when we hit traffic and missed the flight, or when we find out the man who sat in jail for five years based on our identification was innocent all along?"
"Some of us admit we were wrong and say, 'Oops, you were right. We should have gotten more milk.' Some of us kind of imply we were wrong, but we don't do so explicitly or in a way that is satisfying to the other person: 'We had plenty of time to get to the airport on time if the traffic hadn’t been unusually bad. But fine, we’ll leave earlier next time.'"
"But some people refuse to admit they're wrong, even in the face of overwhelming evidence: 'They let him go because of DNA evidence and another dude's confession? Ridiculous! That’s the guy! I saw him!'"

I have to disagree with this. I wear atheist jewellery, I have atheist ornaments in my house, and my girlfriend is an atheist artist. To those of you who say "I can't see anything.", that's because you're not an Emperor like I am, and I also have really cool atheist clothes.
I'll only say so so nobody gets confused and think that I'm going to join in any evangelical indoctrination ... you say "God bless" and I will say "likewise" ... you say "Merry Christmas" and I say "likewise" ... I find it to be the most innocuous and non-assuming response ... also, if you tell me to "f**k off," I will say "likewise" just the same ...
When I was an atheist, I really struggled with the sneezing thing. I ended up saying, "It's nothing to sneeze at." I'm still uncomfortable with it, as I don't believe my soul will fly out my nose, letting a demon in.

OK as someone with a fair bit of precision measurement work using ultrasound I'm gonna toss my 2 cents into the ring. Imperial people, and metric people are both weirdly tribal about how many lines are on a given object. It does not matter, so long as everyone using that system can agree. Built in metric imperial or old Roman cubits as long as there is a standard to work from, it's just comparison anyway.... metric makes more sense in the world right in front of you measuring things that fit on a desk, imperial for measuring the world all around you, distances win in metric though but only because I can never remember how many feet are in a mile. At the end of the day you can build things correctly, and fly them to the right spot quite easily using any measurement system in the universe so long as you and the person next to you agree on how big that thing is.
I love how the UK isn't on there because we are just confused... we measure distance in miles, our gym weights in kilos, our body weight in pounds, our groceries in kilos, our height in feet, our recipes in grams, our water in litres but our beer in pints... the list goes on...

This 'proof' is not correct. While the uranium decay chain does end in lead, not all lead originates that way. Some quantity of all the stable lead isotopes was created directly in supernovae, and lead-204 is created exclusively that way. (Obviously, the Earth is more than 4000 years old.

Some Christians I really respect believe in Theistic evolution, that evolution was a process God might have programed into life and used to create the world. The fact that the word for "day" in Genesis 1 (where God created dark and light the first day, separated the waters the second day, etc) is a very vague word that can also mean "era" is a very interesting thought if someone ascribes to that belief. He definitely has the power to have created it all in six days if He wanted to, but it also seems He's also never been a God who feels the need to be in a big hurry :)

Winch thinks that when a person pushes back against the facts, when they simply cannot admit that they were wrong in any circumstance, everything boils down to their ego. Their sense of self.
"Some people have such a fragile ego, such brittle self-esteem, such a weak 'psychological constitution,' that admitting they made a mistake or that they were wrong is fundamentally too threatening for their egos to tolerate," the psychologist said.

"As a result, they come up with statements, such as, 'I checked in the morning, and there was enough milk, so someone must have finished it.'"

How does it being okay to kill any human who you believe poses a serious threat to you, match up with these anti-abortion laws?

"Homophobia" was originally coined by Freudian psychologists in 1906 to describe the fear of people. Homophobia was first used in its modern context in 1969. The word "anthropophobia" almost immediately showed up to fill in the role of the old meaning because the new meaning was too perfect for what it was trying to describe.
Wouldn't it be cool if homophobes were actually afraid of gay people? Scare their bigoted asses away by kissing your girlfriend in public.
"fear of homosapiens" 😂😂 No, love, you're confusing social anxiety with being rude towards gay ppl, that's two different things....I think?!? 😂
Yes, those are two different things. I have a varying level of social anxiety, but I think that the gays are lovely.

How Stupid Can You Be?
Did you just try to justify slavery? You Vitamin D deficient circus clown.
Bingo. Negro spirituals during slavery were thickly veiled references to escape times, underground railroad station locations, and directions. They knew the master and overseers would not care if they sung about "jesus"...so they could sing them often and loudly in the fields.

Yes, Katrinka. Your username is well applied :) That free food? Scraps, corn gruel, and undesirable parts of animals that would be normally thrown away. Some may be allowed a small garden, but only at the nicer plantations. Those free clothes? Thin, full of holes and infested with body mites, lice and rarely replaced. That free shelter? A dirt floor, hole-filled shack with no bathroom, MAYBE a fireplace for heat and no insulation. The poster is delusional if the thinks any slave was "happier" in bondage.
Load More Replies...Yes. The songs. The slave spirituals were just overflowing with happy, happy fun time vibes. You could tell how joyful they were being whipped in the sun, tending fields for their owners by listening to such classics as; Sometimes I feel like a Motherless Child, Wade in the Water (a Underground Railroad hit) and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. Party songs for sure. They were much, much happier before that pesky freedom found them.
Yes, terrible of us to finally force freedom on them.
Load More Replies...wait until this guy finds out that slave hymns were codes and usually meant something totally different from the actual words being sung. because you can’t just sing “i hate my owner, we need to escape, and i found away” because you would be punished severely for that.

They Thought It Was A Transphobic Comment When It Actually Was Affirming
To be fair, the sentence itself is ambiguous. It could be understood as rejection, as in the son is no longer accepted as a part of his family, or as an acceptance, as in the son is now his daughter but still his family nevertheless. I don't fault people for thinking it is a rejection. It can be read as one. I suspect this might be a dad jok gone wrong, to be honest.

The problem with this logic is that the sound will reach the victim AFTER the impact.
He isn't very wrong, although it's closer to one or two seconds depending on your distance from the gun. Oh, and so long as the gun is an antique, muzzle-loading flintlock pistol or musket. There is a better than even chance that the writer of the OP gets his gunshot 'facts' from action movies.
Nah, I can dodge a .22lr but not from less than 10000 yards
Load More Replies...This is totally possible... if the bullet was shot in the air and you could track its exact trajectory
Sound travels about 1100ft/s (335m/s), and an AR-15 bullet travels about 3300ft/s (1005m/s). So not only is the sound three times slower than the bullet, but also most people aren’t shot from 3300 feet away. That gives you s l i g h t l y less time to dodge than you may think.
the delay is the sound coming after the impact u stupid twat
Sound travels around 700 mph depending on altitude. A bullet travels at upwards of 2-3 times that.
"New York Has The Best Pizza In The World"
The best pizza in the world is the one you like best. My wife and I cannot agree on pizza. I like soft thick and cheezy not Detroit but not new york, particularly fond of sour dough at the moment. She likes thin and crispy and topped no more than an Italian pizza. You know who is right? No one because food preference doesn't work that way.
Boom. Well said. It's akin to kink shaming someone. Just because it isn't your thing, it doesn't invalidate anyone else
Load More Replies...Americans think Italian pizza sucks because what we know as pizza is a completely different food. Watch Foods That Made America on Hulu, there is a whole episode about the “pizza wars” in the US. The founders of Pizza Hut literally said, “people don’t know what pizza is, pizza is what we tell them it is.”
There may be some Americans that think Italian pizza sucks, but I don't think that's particularly common. America has regional variations of pizza. Italy has regional variations of pizza. There are restaurants that specialize in Italian styles of pizza where I live in America and they're popular, too. I have known some New York transplants here in California who are fanatical about their pizza. Most of us here think they're silly. I have also known folks who want to gatekeep all pizza to just Napoli. I think they're snobs. But then I come from a place in the US that is mostly known for fusion food. We like to mix things up and invent knew things. Either way, I don't think it's fair to give the impression to our friends in Italy that there are scads of folks over here in the US that think their pizza sucks.
Load More Replies...I've had real pizza in Italy. It's just not what I'm used to. Not a big fan.
No, no, he's got a point. I LOVE pan pizza, the thick crust with fried bread ... some italian pizza is really thin, and you have to like that.

Best sushi I ever had was in Seattle... on my way to Japan, where I had a ton of very good sushi. This comment is dumb.
Pizza was invented in NYC, not Italy. It was a cheap, easy to fix, and hearty, that the men working on skyscrapers, and other construction, et cetera, could eat. When it first started, mostly just a round cooked flat dough, with tomato sauce, then came the cheese, then the toppings, as it evolved, and ingredients became more accessible and cheaper.
No. In the strongest terms, just no! It was a cheap meal, yes. Easy to eat, also yes. But it was not invented in NYC!

I had an English teacher that taught us how to avoid using they and them in a sentence if it’s singular even if you don’t know the gender, so if there was a mysterious figure you couldn’t use they you had the repeatedly say “the person” which was excruciatingly annoying
Too bad they have ruined they/them. Can't use them as singular anymore without someone being a smartass about it.

The letter indicates the difference between the circumference of the bust beneath the breasts and over them. The number says nothing about the actual boob size. It’s got more to do with your build. A larger number says that you have a larger thoracic cage / are taller/muscular/ have wide shoulders / have more body fat. And contrary to popular belief, a D cup isn’t especially big, it’s rather average. I’m a thin/fit girl with small boobs and I wear a D cup. (You can look at my profile pic, my boobs are nowhere near big)When you think of a lady with especially large boobs, we’re talking about a G-H cup.

To be fair, all he said was that he didn’t like it, he didn’t say why. It could be bc it flies out the window and hits other cars and stuff, and lit ones start fires.

Gotta wonder, if Japan never attacked Pearl Harbor would the USA have opted to drop the nukes somewhere else? And if so, which country would have taken the hit?
Germany was an alternative, during target designation there was a discussion if Berlin should get hit for symbolic reasons or the Ruhr region to cripple the industry. Germany surrendered before the bombs were ready though. There is also the chance that the USA wouldn't had entered the war at all without the japanese attack.

Diabetes Isn't Real, Apparently
Their brain lacks the protein contributing to intelligence and reasonable thoughts. They should evolve to fix this...
Diabetes isn't real?!? NOW they tell me! I've spent thousands of dollars on insulin, syringes, urine and blood testing supplies, and now, insulin infusion pumps and continuous glucose monitors for more than 45 years. If someone had told me earlier in life that the disease isn't real, I could have saved SO much money! My brother also could have chosen to still be here with me rather than succumbing to complications. I am so angry that no one ever told me.
As someone who has had type 1 diabetes their entire life, I can say that is is one of if not the most misunderstood medical condition to the average person on the street, the amount of times I’ve been asked “are you sure your diabetic? you don’t look it, you’re not fat”. Unfortunately a lot of this stems from the ‘battle’ against obesity in society these days with type 2 diabetes gaining the majority of funding and media attention (even then not all type 2 diabetics are overweight), there are even many types of diabetes outside of type 1 and type 2, gestational diabetes is extremely common. But diabetes is now more and more used to describe obesity and poor diet, how many tv shows have had the joke “if I eat that I’ll get diabetes” or “go into a diabetic coma”, funny stuff right….not. You don’t see many jokes on tv about epilepsy for example

It was an elementary school. Majority of the town’s children were killed in an explosion. Natural gas leaked and built up without anyone realizing, teacher lit a burner for science class or something and bam. No more school. I think it was in Texas.

Everything Fake?!
Where in the bible does it say the sun and moon sit right above the earth?
If the sun was right above earth you wouldn't be posting this right now. Actually, you'd be f****n dead
From Wikipedia: In biblical cosmology, the firmament is the vast solid dome created by God during his creation of the world to divide the primal sea into upper and lower portions so that the dry land could appear.

Take gambling for instance. Say you win 100 bucks playing blackjack. Stopping there is the safe choice. Keep going is greed and you might lose it all

This Meme Is Confidently Floating Around Facebook With Incorrect Math
Never seen a charger that is priced per minute, it's always in kWh. Does per minute charging even exist anywhere?
math actually checks out, so it looks like some of the values (.32 per minute, 8 hours for full charge, 350 miles per charge) don't...
While the basic math works out in terms of just...numbers, the real-world application is incredibly wrong, depending on the strength of the charger, size of the battery, etc. Some places around here you'll get a full charge on your battery fairly quickly, less than half an hour, amounting to sub-$20 for smaller batteries and up to $40 for large ones.
"Colourblindness Doesn't Work Like That"
It depends on what sort of colorblindness you have, I suppose. I am red-green colorblind and can definitely read that.
Part Time Minimum Wage Painters Can Make Six Figures
50 x 10 = 500. $500/month. there are 12 months/year. 500 x 12 = 6000. That's 6k a year I really don't understand why some people find maths so hard
British Person Here - Nope, I Can Confirm That We Have Not Had Any Days Off Announced (For Me Anyway)
I lost two days of pay because my workplace shut down over the funeral. I was not paid for the two days we were closed. So 1-2 days off at most, and for many people these were unpaid days.
As the day was declared a public holiday in the UK & NI you should have been paid for it (If you would have normally worked that day but did not) or had an additional holiday day added to your annual leave entitlement (if you worked on that day). I can't say much about the 2nd day, other than check your contract to see what it says about unforeseen closures.

There are currently more people who are considered slaves (~50 million) than at any time in the past. Based on research for a book I wrote.
Yes, but there are also more people in general than any time in history

"The Sun Revolves Around The Earth"
Sure, you're welcome to imagine the entire solar system whirling around the earth in an incredibly complex pattern... or you can notice that relative to the sun, everything seems to be moving in a regular pattern.
The heliocentric model is more about the solar system than just the Sun and Earth.
Technically, the Sun and Earth both orbit their common centre of gravity (c.o.g.) so in a very limited sense do revolve around each other. However, because the Sun is so much more massive than Earth, the common c.o.g. is pretty much at the Sun"s core so Earth really does do all the work.
The Earth really does do all the work? Can you show that mathematically?

Explaining How Hiroshima Didn't Cause The End Of Ww2
Germany surrendered on May 7th 1945. Chuck Norris was born on May 6th 1945. Coincidence?
So in their mind 3 months after the end of world war II, so while they were AT PEACE, the US randomly wiped out two Japanese cities? Wow. They have an incredibly low opinion of the US.
Convicted That 38 Weeks Pregnant Is Two Weeks Overdue
The scariest part of all of these is not that the folks writing them are confident or wrong. The scariest part is they are actively trying to seize power in the US and push this stupidity on everyone. They want to teach others that their fools view of the world is correct.
Upside of this post: I now feel like a complete f*****g genius!! So many people in the world are so much dumber than me I must be pretty smart, right? Downside: No, humanity is just f****d
This post left me with ambivalent feelings. On one side, I'm angry and incredulous that people like this really exist and spread so much ignorance and stupidity...On the other side I feel a little bit like the nowadays Einstein, as I could have said something stupid in my life (who didn't?), but never so stupid
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I fear for the future of this country. Even the world, it's just I'm mostly familiar with this country. The US. Not the Us.
