When you think about it, the internet is a democracy. Whether you're the President, an award-winning scientist, or just a spiteful troll, you can create a Twitter account and go from one thread to another, explaining to other users why they're stupid. However, if you're actually doing it, that's precisely what you need to keep in mind. It's just a matter of time before you run into someone who can call out your BS. And when that happens, you're going to end up on the subreddit r/DontYouKnowWhoIam. Like the name suggests, this online community is dedicated to those spicy moments when people were oblivious to who they were talking to, and has collected quite a lot of them since its inception in 2015. Here are some of the best ones.

Sadly, it makes insignificant, petty, obtuse, emotionally stunted people feel marginally better about themselves, because they can send-delude that they are better than the people they insult. That's actually the origin of MOST unprovoked criticisms and insults.

Almost. “Beauty, Brains, and Brawn.” There is no “s” because the plural is spelled the same as the singular.

I guarantee you, a lot of people do. Men are the highest percentage, but, sadly, many women also believe this. It's important for us that we do not support media, art and industry that continues to perpetuate these stereotypes. Systemic sexism is the massive elephant in the room that very few want to recognize and talk about.

Don't let the haters hate on you. The culture is set so, when anyone sees a model, they tend to think "she is dumb" In your case, you sound intelligent enough to start your own tech startup. My advise? Drop the modeling end and focus 24/7 on Tech.

Good for you Lyndsey. You are right insecure males can not handle women in a competitive field where brains are required. For some reason they think their man hood is being diminished and lash out with crude statements and behaviours. Women should unless necessary just ignore them and keep stepping over them on the way to the top.

You are much better looking than me, and you’re probably a little (or a lot) smarter than me…and I guarantee you get paid much more for your skills than I do for mine. However, I am not intimidated by beautiful, intelligent, powerful women…I’m usually amazed by them, as anyone should be. So, please, send me a few paragraphs describing your most flexible version of what it takes to be your fiancé along with your boyfriend application to ilovegoodfood@hotmail.com.

Brains? Then why parade around looking like the newest addition to the Las Vegas strip. Women flaunting their almost-nude bodies in string bikinis, outfits like this gal is wearing (I don't care what the occasion was), and turning up at award shows almost naked is repulsive. If in-shape men tried this nonsense, the snickers would be deafening.

That's such a retarded headline though. How good a programmer is, is not defined by the number of languages they "can program in". You can learn any language to a marketable degree (not master it) in less than 40 hours once you know the foundations of programming.

Even though there's a line between self- and over-confidence, trusting in your judgment can help you become successful in life.

Both verbal and nonverbal communication can be extremely effective at garnering positive attention and influence in groups. According to one hypothesis (the presumption of calibration hypothesis), people generally assume others have the self-knowledge to know how confident they should be, and we also assume they will truthfully communicate this confidence to us (the so-called truth bias), unless extenuating circumstances suggest otherwise.

So whenever we see confidence, we tend to find it compelling, and we expect it to be justified.

Same thing happened to Bob Dylan! The bouncer wouldn't let him in , in his own gig, as he did not recognize him!

Interestingly, some research has reported that being overconfident while participating in a group activity did not damage the person’s reputation — individuals who trusted their task performance (but were later revealed to be worse at the task than they had claimed) did not suffer a severe drop in their social status in the group relative to someone who had been well-calibrated.

The researchers concluded that "the status benefits of overconfidence outweighed any possible status costs."

So extreme cases aside, being featured on r/DontYouKnowWhoIam might not be the worst thing that can happen to you.

There are people in my country who believe that Ivermektin (actualy horse pill to get them rid of tapeworms) can cure covid. Eventhougt, there is no study to prove that, some people eat this, they overdose on it and end up in hospital with covid and also kidney failure...

Similar happened to me. My art teacher almost failed me because she said my drawings weren't free-hand. They totally were and I did one of them all over again with her there, she shut up after that.

When you say "young lady" you must already know you're doing it wrong. Unless you address the rest as "old man", "middle-aged ambiguous person", etc.

Exactly! A sauna doesn't have to be uncomfortable to be 'good for you' at all! It should be something relaxing, that's all. It might be good for your hearth health, but there's not that much evidence that saunas have health benefits. Still, getting uncomfortably hot is not good.

Okay, awkward. But how can you believe super rich people aren't changing the world? They're definitely changing it. No one said, "for the better."

"Wasp" is a category, with quite a few insects in it. This is like saying "That's not a primate, it's a chimpanzee!"

I know people make jokes to the contrary but people don't actually think with their genitals. If someone identifies as a woman and they are solely attracted to other women, they're a lesbian.

So not dark enough to be considered black by the black community, but definitely not white enough to be considered white by the white community. What a wonderful life :( Why do people care about skin color this much?
