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.

    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.

    Teen years and twenties are *really hard.* My life in my thirties was pretty good, but since then each successive decade has been an appreciable improvement over the last. Being old is so freeing—most people don’t even notice you anymore, and those that do tend to be at minimum civil, and often downright gracious and/or helpful.

    One of my internships I developed severe anxiety and PTSD while coming to terms with two years of sexual abuse from my first relationship. I started picking and scratching at my arms as a coping mechanism. One of the managers noticed and asked me about it, and when I said stress, his response was 'what on earth do you have to be stressed about at your age?'

    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?”

    Thanks to the past generations there are a lot of religions that are now known as "Mythology". Also I think Nooberton kind of went off topic for a while. It is okay to believe what you want but no matter what, you can never escape the judgement of others. I do sometimes like to call christianity "Christian mythology" though.

    Don't stop discussing religion... the only way to shed light on insanity is try to make them see it for themselves.... of course - it doesn't work with many of them - if they were able to see the absurdity of their claims, they wouldn't be religious in the first place... so its always an uphill battle.

    In the begining there would have been both male and female creatures for us to evolve from. That would be the case all through the evolution process, therefore women have had the same journey as men in the evolution process. They didn't evolve seperately and find each other by coincidence.

    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!

    But before that, when men were rarely involved in the process and people didn't put their hands inside the woman, the death rate was much lower. So many women died from having infection introduced by well-meaning doctors (and others). Hand hygiene is *everything*.

    I had an a**l fissure once and going to the toilet was so painful it felt like that, and I basically had a panic attack from the fear whenever I had to go, even though the pain lasted only a second. I cannot even imagine a pain similar to that (or even worse than that) going on for hours and hours, even days. Anyone who can endure the pain of childbirth deserves a lot of respect. There is no way I could handle that much pain for that much time.

    My dad always said if men had babies they would never have more than one. After having 4 rather large babies (first being the biggest at 10lbs 10) and then being sterilised my body is a wreck. I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia which may or may not be related, but I've had chronic back pain since after my first - the only one I had a spinal block with after she was born and I needed to go into surgery and I fully believe it was that that has caused my back pain but I'll never know. Every day I'm in pain so I chose to make sure I couldn't have another baby as my husband was reluctant to get the snip. If I had another one I really think it would cripple me. Pregnancy is hard - that baby leeches so much from your body, it's tiring, it's draining, it's sore and uncomfortable but overall it's completely worth it for that little person you've not even met yet. There's nothing and no one else I would put myself through all of it for other than my babies

    Being straight is the default state. You are born straight but sometimes some people just decide to be gay. But it is not really their free will. It's brainwashing from the 5G chips in the vaccines or from being possessed by evil spirits.

    I think Wanda Sykes it best, if being gay was a choice, your only straight because you chose not to be gay. Every guy out there thought, I'll suck a d**k today. Nah, I choose not to.

    It makes me mad too when I see people calling themselves Christian treat people they think *might* be gay like garbage. And talk about killing or beating gays. Like didn't you pay any attention in Sunday school? Do you not believe in how this Christ you blabber on about constantly would want you treat your fellow humans? Who DO you worship? I don't know...let me guess....SATAN???

    I have a funny feeling she was flying as a child and her parents told her this to calm her down. (1) not all Christians believe in the rapture. Revelations is a weird book of prophecy. (2) There's much debate on what exactly constitutes a "saved" person. They mostly fall into 2 categories: the "forever saved" people, in which you accept Christ as your savior and from then on, you're going to heaven always, no matter how many puns you make; or the "backslider" people, in which they believe you can lose your salvation by sinning and not asking for forgiveness from God immediately.

    Wait. “That way when the rapture comes, the other guy can land the sinners left on the plane safely”. So the rest of us get to land and go about our lives, while the “believers” are sucked up into the sky, to go wherever they’ve been told by their book of mythology says they’re supposed to go—-and not a one of them is self-aware enough to step back and ask for concrete proof they’re not being scammed or tricked before it’s their turn to be sucked up? Come to think of it, makes sense. Never mind.

    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.

    Adam Jeff

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

    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.

    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

    Most stupid people don’t actually realize they’re stupid. Because they’re too stupid to figure it out. Seriously! [Addition]: Ignorance is a different story, that’s just willfully closing your eyes, ears, and brain to what is going on around you!

    But the bladder is connected to male genitalia, so it's logical to include a bladder in a diagram of male reproductive anatomy.

    That's somewhat true when it comes to consumer decision-making. Like if you're going to buy a car and do too much research you can reach analysis paralysis. And you're likely to buy the one you like and justify your decision retroactively anyway. When to comes to other types of decision-making analysis paralysis is also a possibility. I think you have to vet your sources carefully, instead of listening to every person on the internet who comes along.

    If he's saying that stupid people can be just as "informed" as sensible people, and go on to make equally stupid decisions, then I'd say he's actually not particularly wrong :-( People who watch Fox News can be "informed", it's just that the information has a different value to what the rest of us consider reasonable.

    On a whole it depends on the subject matter and the qualifications for being "informed". I have met plenty of people who were well informed with bad information. Plus there are decisions that are too personal and emotional to be swayed by outside information.

    Diabetes is scary and very misunderstood. My grandma died way too young of diabetes and she was a very healthy eater and active person. She is the reason I love raw veggies. I am now overweight (and trying to lose it again) and tested very 6 months. Not all diabetics are fat and not all fat people have diabetes. It is much more complicated than that. A part time 60ish worker at my last job carried a small soft side cooler with insulin and snacks. I offered my mini fridge for anything he needed. We also called him ASAP if he left his bag in our office. He got all the guys hooked on dried pineapple, his go to snack, so everyone kept some on hand for him just in case.

    Online I see too many people assume that diabetes is your own fault and you should just lose weight. Which is sometimes relevant for Type 2 but absolutely not relevant for Type 1. Type 2 *may* be controlled by diet (but losing weight is gonna be difficult), Type 1 needs a new pancreas.

    Must not be a history teacher, because a history teacher would know that, if we had no viable treatments of diseases like cancer and heart disease—-and smallpox until the 18th century—-and that doctors’ colleges were forbidden to dissect human bodies so had to rely on grave robbers for corpses well into the 19th century, they’d also know we had no treatment for manageable conditions like diabetes, allergies, hyper/hypothyroid, etc for centuries until relatively recently, so people suffered unnecessarily and died way too young from them—-so it IS a big deal.

    The funny part is that Trump never mentioned "bleach." He seems to be musing out loud about whether some some sort of inhaled disinfecting agent or light therapy might be used to treat the lungs: "And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful." When pressed about injecting disinfectants, he clarifies: ""It wouldn’t be through injections, almost a cleaning and sterilization of an area. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t work, but it certainly has a big effect if it’s on a stationary object."

    If this is exactly what he said. I have to be honest and say it sounds like he's asking about it and he no doubt talks very dumb like. But if these are his actual words, I want to know why people are making it out like he said something totally different? Not gonna lie, Trump definitely is not the smartest or best speaker. But this definitely sounds like him inquiring about the virus and just asking questions wanting to know more and saying someone should look into it. I mean we only find things out by talkin guessing asking experimenting and doing things. Surely people know that at some point in medicine people are being experimented on or going through trials to see what happens or what the outcome will be. Just wondering why what he's saying is dumb?

    That one is a myth perpetuated by the Democrats, actually. What actually happened is the Great Orange One got distracted while giving a press conference, had a weird idea, and instead of saving it for after the conference, he turned to a nearby medical professional - Doctor Fauci in fact - and asked if it was medically feasible. Upon being told it was a very bad idea, Trump dropped it and continued the press conference. He never told anyone to inject bleach.

    Technically true: If you wash your hands for about 7 - 20 min with boiling water it will kill all the germs. I wouldnt recommend it though.

    Depends what you are trying to do. Sterilization requires high temperature and will kill all germs, but will also kill your hands. However, according to the WHO, most viruses are sensitive to heat, and something like 60C will kill them. See https://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/dwq/Boiling_water_01_15.pdf

    Now I have no sources to back this up, but I was told by a nurse once that they recommend washing with "hot soapy water" because you're more likely to wash for the proper amount of time if the water is warm instead of cold

    My mom is like this. She still doesn't believe that the water from the tap isn't hot enough to kill germs. She made me hand wash dishes in water so hot I am still able to dip my fingers in hot water my husband can't touch. He jokes I have no nerve endings, sometimes I wonder. I prefer to wash my hands, and hair, in cool soapy water.

    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.

    Ah, but that is quite common. I went out with a coworker who couldn't stop talking about his ex and even said he'd go back to her in a heartbeat if she'd ask. So I told him to go talk to her. I didn't say "and go back", but I thought that was pretty clear. Why would I want to date someone who really wants to be with his ex? Next day he needed to talk and told me he went back to his ex, fully confident I was about to cry. I just looked at him bewildered. I mean, what did he think the point of talking with his ex was?

    40 Overconfident People Saying Dumb Things Shared In This Online Thread I was in a high school history class and we were talking about Freud. Our teacher asked if any of us knew what penis envy was. One student who was straight faced and way too confident answered “it’s when one man is jealous of another man’s penis size”. Comedy gold.

    That was strictly true. Penis envy as described by Freud was nothing more that women wishing they had more of the societal privileges granted to men, but that's not envy, that's just basic fairness. True penis envy is experienced by men.

Blatant profiting from lying to and conning suffering, desperate people, risking their health in the process - it’s despicable and vulnerable people should be protected from it. Granted, it’s illegal to talk people out of real medicine and sell fake “cures” for severe conditions such as cancer where I live - but why is it legal in any capacity? I’ve seen too many good people get really hurt by this immoral cràp, I don’t understand it.

    "I thought the turtle would eat algae. That's what my koi did." The baby turtle was kept in a small glass bowl without algae. It also didn't have UV light, and was fed shrimp, the turtle equivalent of living on desserts. I got it a perching spot in an aquarium, UV light, water heater/thermostat, and real turtle pellets. This person otherwise comes off as fairly bright, and sustains himself with his own businesses. The differences between fish and reptiles apparently didn't really hit him.

    Unless you've got a sideneck or softshelled a heater isn't really needed for turtles as long as you have a basking light that raises the temperature in the basking spot to over 80° and covers the proper area in proportion to the enclosure. Tropical fish require a heater set to 72° or above.... Tell this person to stock with koi, they're just extra fancy looking goldfish and require virtually no care to keep alive (to thrive as a whole different story). Speaking from over 30 years of aquarium experience.

    Actually the more review I read, the more I am beginning to think this person is right. So many reviews are now written by bots and are not representative of the product at all. Trying to tell which are the genuine reviews is getting harder and harder, as they get buried in the mire of bot-generated rubbish. I guess if things have bot-generated reviews don't read them, just avoid the product completely, as it is likely to be rubbish anyway.

The doctor and nurses advised him to wait at least 5-10 minutes, maybe drink some water or eat something, to make sure he'd be ok. He wouldn't listen and heft in hurry.

    My mom always told me that "rain smell" was nitrogen. Yep, the same nitrogen that makes up ~70% of our air whether it's raining or not. She said this EVERY @#$@#$#@! TIME IT RAINED THROUGHOUT MY CHILDHOOD. When I discovered that the smell is geosmin and told her, she just shrugged it off like, oh, that's nice. WOMAN DO YOU NOT REMEMBER YOUR LIES IN MY CHILDHOOD.

    Nitpicking perhaps, but you have to be very detached if you're just a farmer's wife. If you have a farm, the whole family are surely farmers; you can't shut the farm down at 5 PM and start it up at 9 AM; it's there 24/7, and everyone needs to pitch in, both adults and children (as much as the children are able).

    Went to the funeral of a friend that drowned. After, we went to his father's house where his father and brother were sitting on the couch. His father turned to the son and said "Don't ever let anyone tell you they know how you feel because they're lying. They don't know how hard this is." Like none of us had ever experienced a close relative dying. I grabbed my things and left. Never spoke to them again.

    "western medicine" is more of a method of critically examining processes and outcomes using statistics than individual discoveries. It didn't really start until the late 19th/early 20th century in Europe and America. It is more incorrect to call it western medicine because it is now practiced the whole world over and contributed to by every developed nation.

Of course then there are people like boxer Tommy Morrison who contracted AIDS, blew off western medicine in favor of weed, meth and Cocaine, causing his death in his mid 40’s.

    You don't have learning difficulties or mental health you were made to think you do by teachers. This coming from a man who in his youth taught kids with special needs.

    As a matter of fact there are "remedial teachers" who will diagnose you with learning disabilities so they can enroll you in their expensive "special care program" or to keep their job. A school without children without learning difficulties doesn't need remedial teachers.

    Just because the speedometer has a number on it doesn't mean it can reach that. I mean my '01 Camry's speedometer goes up to 140MPH, but I doubt it could hit that on anything less than a 70-degree downward slope that was 5 miles long.

    240 MPH is clearly not a thing a stock Miata would do. 240 KMH it is more or less the manufacturer specs for the biggest engine (220KMH). So, going downhill you can probably get them. This miata may have a cheap update of speedometer (a sticker which says MPH instead of KMH) to reach this absurd speed.

    I can actually kind of understand a kid making that mistake, because it's easy to mistake "magnetic" to be synonymous with "metal". It doesn't help that there are multiple bits of media that reinforce that idea and trust their audience to know that magnetism is not a universal trait of all metals, of course...

    I've had a few moments like this. I live in the USA. When I was 5, I watched a lot of stuff about China and heard the word a lot growing up. In my first week of school, my music teacher (for some reason) tested our knowledge and asked us what state we lived in. Everyone else shouted our state name. I, with all confidence, exclaimed, "China!" Everyone was laughing. I've been a quiet child since. Over ten years later, I'm on a vacation with my family and we stop at a hotel for the night on our way home. I was half asleep and had recently seen the movie "Into the Woods" not long before. The opening song was playing in my head (the one where the characters are stating their predicaments and constantly said, "Into the woods~"). My dad turns and asks me a question. I, with very tired confidence and not having heard a word he said, exclaimed, "Into the Woods!" My family still makes fun of me about that today.

    But... that is correct. In the past before dental care was even a thing, we would loose teeth and later in life our wisdom teeth would come down at the back and push our molars forward helping to close gaps and allowing us to eat better. Now with modern dental care and diet being what it is, we loose less teeth and therefore wisdom teeth become redundant. This is an over simplification but it is the basic gist of it.
