Show me a person who claims they never talk nonsense and I'll show you a liar. Silly words falling from our mouths is what makes us human.
But preaching ignorance in an attempt to persuade others? Not so much.
Recently, Redditor GuyWithAScuffedLife asked other platform users: "What is the dumbest thing someone has said with full confidence?" And boy, did that question resonate with everyone!
So far, the post has received nearly 1,500 comments, many of which prove how easy it is to make a fool of yourself.

A woman yelled at me for parking a car with a handicap tag in a non-handicap spot. She believed that I had to park only in handicap spots.
The idea for this post came to GuyWithAScuffedLife quite spontaneously. "I was talking with my friends and I was just scrolling through Reddit, and then decided to ask a random question," they told Bored Panda.
"There [were] a lot of liberal and democratic people [in the comments] because a lot of the replies were directed towards anti-maskers, Trump, etc." But the good thing was that a lot of the stories turned out to be funny and GuyWithAScuffedLife had plenty of opportunities for a good laugh. Which is what they think is how you recover after saying something stupid yourself.
"Just laugh at it with other people because there is no harm in [admitting to saying something silly] and laughing about it."

Discussing religion with two Christian friends (Brother and sister duo) - I’m a nonbeliever and they were in your face jerks about it. These two are pretty much why I hate discussing religion.
The sister said something like “I bet you don’t even know how many apostles there were!”
I said “Twelve.”
The brother shouts “Ha! Wrong! It was seven!”
To her credit, the sister immediately facepalmed. And I kid you not when I say this is my actual response: “So, was it Doc or Dopey that betrayed Christ?”
"If evolution is true then how did a human man evolve perfectly to match a human woman."
As if they evolved separately then met up one day.
Cherilynn Veland, MSW, LCSW, who is a counselor and coach based in Chicago and who has been helping individuals, couples, and families for over 20 years now, agrees.
The best way to cope when we suffer from a verbal snafu, according to Veland, is to:
- Try to learn from the feelings of shame that these situations create;
- Use the mistake to practice humility;
- Find the learning lessons in the mistake;
- Practice laughing at yourself.
Plus, apologies are often accepted!

The vaccine is made from aborted babies
There is actually a grain of truth in it - as far as I know all vaccines are based on the cells of a few fetuses which were aborted in the last century. Unfortunately, a lot of todays medical knowledge and practices were accomplished by horrendous crimes (experimenting on humans...), most of them worse than using those cells so... if you have trouble with this there is not much of modern medicine you can using without moral problems.
No, the grain of truth is even smaller than that actually. The cells you refer to are particular strains of stem cell and they did indeed come from foetuses, they *could* be used in a variety of really powerful medical treatments in the future. But no existing vaccines are based on those cells.

Before you downvote, please know that I'm fully vaccinated and support limited mandates. My comment is more to do with how language is important and how ignorance/malfeasance can generate misinformation like this. The vaccines are not made from fetal tissue, nor do they contain fetal tissue, but cell lines derived from aborted fetal tissues were involved. Again, not debating morality in any way. I just find it interesting how a grain of truth becomes of desert of lies. The Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines used fetal cell line HEK 293 was during the research and development phase. All HEK 293 cells are descended from tissue taken from a 1973 abortion that took place in the Netherlands. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine production process involves infect PER.C6 fetal cell lines to grow the adenovirus vector. PER.C6 cells are descended from tissue taken from a 1985 abortion that took place in the Netherlands.
Just to add to this, using these cell lines during research and development is super common. A few of the other drugs that have done this are aspirin, acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Pepto Bismol, Tums, Motrin, Ex-Lax, Benadryl, Sudafed, Claritin. Anyone trying to use this as a reason to not vaccinate would need to avoid many medications for that same reason.

These ones I agree with them and add, "Best you don't take it,, I heard it has 5G tracking chips in it as well." ... then periodically check on them to see if they are dead yet.
Politicians took months to agree to even fund communal roads. Does anyone really think they care enough about the whereabouts of every random Joe to bother to pay to track them? (I know conspiracy theorists say yes, but come on...)

That's not really okay to say. It is very much the same as telling someone you wish they were dead or would kill themselves. Saying you wish someone never existed is just harsh. Just saying, how we talk to and about people matters. Well it should anyway.

Well, stem cells were part of the treatment Trump received when he had Covid.
They don't care because their god-king can do no wrong. I mean look, we are talking about a bunch of people who call themselves 'christians', but elected a guy who did every single one of the Seven Deadly Sins. They are not rational people.
Load More Replies... There can be stem cells from aborted embryos/fetuses in vaccines, yes. I read that the fetal cells in one of the Covid vaccines were from abortions done in the 80's. The cells are taken from already aborted embryos/fetuses, they are not aborted to be used for vaccines. Similar to hearts and lungs and livers and corneas and skin are taken from people who have died. They have not been killed to harvest organs from them.
I shared this article a few months ago with people who claimed they couldn't take the COVID-19 vaccine because fetal cell lines could have been used in its development. The fact that aspirin, ibuprofen, Benadryl, Sudafed, Maalox and so many other common medicines are in the exact same boat floored them. If you're claiming a religious exemption yet take any of these drugs, you're a hypocrite. I'm glad this hospital is requiring their employees to confirm they take none of them. https://www.webmd.com/vaccines/covid-19-vaccine/news/20210918/some-medications-also-tied-to-religious-vaccine-exemption
Yeh. keep on believing whatever... Just don't cry for help when you catch it and end up in the ICU by the kindness of strangers trying to save your poor undeserving soul...
I'll never understand why people get so mad at people who don't want to take the vaccine. If the vaccine doesn't stop the spread of COVID and only lessens the symptoms of the person who got the vaccine why do people care what other people do to their own bodies?
My family believes this. They had a friend who is a nurse try to apply for religious exemption for that reason. God I hate living with these people.
Oh my gawd. My grandma said while I was in the car and I quote "McDonald's puts aborted fetuses into their burger patties" Jesus Christ nana I love you but holy sh-
We actually heard this from my mother-in-law as an excuse for not getting vax. My husband/her son, who is a microbiologist by training, had to give her a talking to. She got the shot, but her husband still would not.
If they're not keen on vaccines where fetal cells were used at any point in development/trials, etc (even if they didn't make it anywhere near the actual production process), then I have bad news for them on multiple drugs.
I wouldn't care if it was made from dead people as part of the organ donation opt-in. If they could make something like this out of me when I died then grand.
We will soon be slaves of the unholy nazi super human league from outer space!!! Beware!!!!!!!!!
Nope, it's from vampire blood and fairy dust and ground-down unicorn horns.
I heard this from a relative recently...the vaccine has bits of baby...like how can you even begin to believe that??!
Technically, even if they were, a majority of people are in favor of legal abortions. Something should be done with the unwanted fetus' and I don't get what would be so wrong about it. Js.
I'm really hoping they used a skinny person's DNA for my shot. It's been 7 months so I'm starting to give up hope I got the skinny DNA.
You're a crappy devil's advocate. I just Googled aborted cells in vaccines" and got about 325,000 results. A lot of not very bright people think this.

Oh look it's someone who knows more about immunology than all the people with PhDs in it! No, Maureen YOU know very little about the vaccine - in fact, you fon't know f**k-all about it and probably a lot of other things. Immunologists, on the other hand, with decades of experience and research know a lot about it.

I had just moved into a new place and had a roommate told me that women who get raped while drunk deserve it.
I told a guy a few hours after a terrible date (needed to calm down) that it wasn’t going to work between us. Two days later I get a text saying he had a long hard conversation with himself the day after the date and, long story short, he didn’t think we were compatible to date right now.
Completely confident that it was his idea. Just gonna let him think it and be glad I never have to deal with again.
A coworker of mine once told me that any animal could reproduce with any other animal, that DNA wasn't important and that all sperm was the same.
She believed this because she once saw a litter of diseased, deformed puppies and had decided that they must be half rat.

"I thought the turtle would eat algae. That's what my koi did."

My grandmother always believed whenever we saw a rain clouds in the distant she would be upset(being a farmers wife) because she thought the clouds were sucking the water out of the ground. My mom set her straight but I don’t think she believed her though
Technically, the water cycle involves evaporation (molecular droplets lifting from water bodies on the surface), condensation (in the clouds) and precipitation... Not so sure about the mood changes though...Unless it's been raining for a few weeks straight.

Some vaccines are developed and/or tested on continually reproduced aborted fetal cells from the 80's. We no longer use the chicken egg method for the reproducing viruses for vaccines normally. It's more accurate to say "yes, aborted fetal cells" than "no aborted fetal cells" Also there was no mention of "injecting bleach to cure COVID" it was "disinfectant". Common disinfectants are that can be injected by medical professional are hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, iodine and others that I can't currently remember.
