35 Of The Funniest Comebacks That Have Graced X’s Community Notes
Interview With Expert
Have you ever met a "know-it-all"? That one person who has an opinion about everything, regardless of their actual expertise. They're the ones who'll suddenly drop historical tidbits that seem to come from a parallel universe where facts take a backseat.
They’re the ones who’ll correct your pronunciation of quinoa at every party, followed by a lecture on its nutritional values. But you know what’s more fun than listening to them interject every conversation with an air of authority?
Witnessing someone humble them. Especially when it’s done in a savage manner. Just like these posts where people are roasting individuals for their ignorant opinions.

Wanting to understand the reason behind a "know-it-all" persona, Bored Panda spoke to Gurpal Kaur, a Counseling Psychologist at Shridhar Life School, “A 'know it all' attitude often arises from a deep need for validation or control, stemming from underlying insecurities.”
She said, “Individuals may use their perceived knowledge to assert superiority or shield themselves from feeling inadequate. Past experiences of praise for intelligence can also reinforce this behavior. Understanding the complex motivations behind this persona requires a thorough examination of the individual's personal history and social dynamics.”
The batteries are the problem (both for houses and E-Cars), not the damn panels, because of unethical cobalt mining. That's what causes toxic chemicals to be spilled into nature, and child labor. However, the problem isn't the cobalt, it is the way it is mined - and nobody's fixing it because money.
Kaur, who is also a couples therapist, emphasized how such an attitude can significantly impact relationships. “Firstly, they can create feelings of resentment or frustration in others, as individuals may feel invalidated or belittled by the constant need for one-upmanship. This can lead to communication breakdowns and a lack of mutual respect within the relationship.”
“Moreover, such attitudes can hinder genuine collaboration and problem-solving, as the 'know it all' individual may be less open to considering alternative perspectives or solutions. This can lead to a sense of disconnection and alienation within the relationship, as the other person may feel undervalued or marginalized.”
And his credentials are suspect if "MS" stands for "Master's in Science." Besides, it is sort of cringe to put a master's degree after your name rather than waiting until you get your Ph.D. or M.D.
First the earthquake, now this.. Those devil worshiping liberals must be behind it! 😆
Such individuals may prioritize being right over building emotional connection. “This can create a dynamic of power imbalance and undermine the foundation of the relationship. Overall, 'know it all' attitudes can strain relationships by fostering feelings of resentment, undermining effective communication, and eroding trust and intimacy. Addressing these attitudes requires a willingness to cultivate humility, empathy, and openness to others' perspectives.”
Dealing with know-it-alls can be tricky but patience is the key, Kaur said, “One approach is to listen patiently, acknowledge their knowledge, but politely offer your perspective or ask questions to steer the conversation in a more collaborative direction. If that doesn't work, sometimes it's best to simply let them have their moment and move on.”
Cats can be vegan until they die, yes. It's another question how long it takes until one leads to the other.
Poor things go blind first. Vegans who do that to innocent kitties should be jailed and fed a carnivore diet for as long as their cat was fed vegan.

Stop this nonsense! Cats are obligate carnivores. If they don't have taurine in their diets they will die a horrible death. Vegans, do as you will, but stop enforcing your religion on your pets!
@Becky, that's a very small sample size and a very small difference. I also have concerns about the self-reported nature of the survey and the factor they used to indicate health. Rather than point out the 3% lower rate of vet visits, perhaps we should look at the fact that the cats were on average 1.9 years younger and conclude that they aren't living as long? No, just kidding, it would be unscientific to make that claim on an unrepeated survey of that size. Is this the only study you have?

Cats are obligated carnivores, they need a particular nutrients only found in meat, that they cannot make themselves. No meat = painful death
Cats could not be vegan even if they were not obligate carnivores, because they don’t have the capacity to make ideological choices.
Cats are obligate carnivores, which means they cannot survive on a vegetarian or vegan diet. If you want to keep a cat, don't force your diet on them - you'll kill them.
Obligate carnivores. If you force a cat to be vegan, you are guilty of animal abuse.
Cats can be vegan if you imposed your idiotic ideas on them despite their actual f****n nature. No cat will choose to be vegan, because cats generally aren’t suicidal
Cats aren't just carnivores, they're OBLIGATE carnivores. Means they HAVE to eat meat or they will die. No questions, no retries. One dead cat, full of cabbage.
I had a cat that wouldn't eat meat. He just licked it. And was stupidly fussy about that too. He quite enjoyed licking chunks in gravy and was rather happy with soup. Vet said there was no reason, no mouth or teeth problems. He lived to a ripe old age and had an excellent set of almost unused teeth.
Cats eat meat. My cats will eat peas, cheese, etc, but, I would never give them just those things. They are descended from lions. Have you EVER seen a lion eating lettuce? No? That’s because cats aren’t vegan. They eat grass and certain plants to help aid digestion, I think.
I think they eat grass so they have something to sick up just when you are settled.

why the f**k do some vegans have carnivorous pets and put them on a vegan diet instead of just getting herbivorous pets instead?
Cats are absoluly obligate carnivores and unless you're feeding a cat a 100% natural raw diet your argument against any store brought food kind of falls on its bottom. There is so little research into cat and dog food/diets it's frightening
I'm a vegetarian and nothing ticks me off more than people who force their young babies and their pets to be vegan/vegetarian. It tends to have dire outcomes for them. Not getting the proper nutrition they need. Whereas I'm an adult and even I struggle to get all the proper nutrients on a vegetarian diet.
This one has an avatar of what looks like a child, yet is making proclamations with as much authority as he can muster. I was (in retrospect) a dumb kid, but I NEVER made confident proclamations about ANYTHING because I was aware that there was a lotta stuff I didn’t know yet. I prefaced many, many sentences with “I think” because I wasn’t certain yet. Then when I learned that I REALLY don’t know MOST stuff, I kept right on using “I think” because I learned that unfortunately, I don’t know nearly as much as I want to. 😥 Kids who’ve been raised with parents telling them how they’re the best, the smartest, the most attractive, the most capable, etc feel confident in their stupidity and make sure everyone gets to enjoy their vast and deep “knowledge.” Who knew there were unintended consequences of blowing smoke up kids’ bottoms? 🤔
Dogs aren't obligate carnivores. They are more of a facultative carnivore.

Yes, they NEED meat to survive. Anyone that feeds a cat a vegan diet should be prosecuted for animal neglect or cruelty or both.

I actually had a neighbour with 3 cats and she told me one became vegetarian. She had to cook extra vegetables for it. She tried to get it to eat meat and it wouldn't. I told her to check with her vet because her cat was going to need vitamin/mineral supplements because it couldn't get all its nutrients with just vegetables. But it turned itself into a vegetarian!
The study being reported above that said cats did well on a vegan diet is an extremely poor quality study where owners who feed their cats a vegan diet were asked if they thought their cats were healthy. There was no independent analysis of the health of the cats in question. As a vegetarian vet, please don’t feed your cats a vegan or vegetarian diet. They will go blind and they will die a miserable death.
Oh. Cats cannot be vegan and live for very long. Humans can be vegan. Elephants can be vegan. Cats are obligate carnivores. Obligate. Meaning they need meat. It's abuse to make a cat be vegan. (Vegan with a cat)
They are obligate carnivores, there's a protein only in meat that cats need to survive
How do they get taurine? As an additive? Then not vegan...

“Know-it-alls often seek validation and recognition to compensate for underlying insecurities. Understanding this, you can approach them with empathy and patience, validating their knowledge while gently redirecting the conversation to promote mutual learning and collaboration. Additionally, setting boundaries and assertively expressing your own expertise can help establish a balanced dynamic.”
If their behavior sometimes triggers feelings of frustration or inadequacy, it's important to recognize and address them constructively. “One approach is to focus on internal validation rather than seeking approval from others. Remind yourself of your own worth and expertise, and don't let the know-it-all's behavior undermine your confidence. Additionally, practicing mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing or visualization can help manage stress and maintain a sense of calm during interactions with know-it-alls.”
If anyone's interested, Korea and the coast of China were mainly affected by Japan colonizing it. However, we should not turn our noses too high about judging that, because our own people are no better. As the entire existence of the USA proves, the Spanish and Portuguese influence in all countries that are nowadays seen as part of Latin America, great Britain causing half of the world to celebrate an independence day from them, and that almost the entirety of Western Europe gobbled up land in Africa at the time. Humans can be really uuuurgh ... The important part is to learn from it so history doesn't repeat.
It’s especially challenging to deal with such individuals in an office setting. Imagine someone providing you with inaccurate information at work. This could result in errors and miscommunications that affect company projects. A know-it-all person can hinder the team's ability to work together towards common goals.
Indeed, correlation does not mean causation. Could be that people who were already at high risk for heart disease tried out fasting to be more healthy. That being said, I do intermittent fasting within reason and it has been very beneficial for me to not eat all the time, especially after dinner.
When dealing with a know-it-all coworker, it's wise to choose which conversations are worth engaging in. Rather than getting into a debate, a simple reply like "Thank you for the information" ensures you avoid unnecessary conflict. Not only does this help maintain professionalism, it also keeps the focus on productive interactions.
You absolutely can throw molotovs. You can then suffer the consequences.
Oh, how dare Mike to steal the thoughts of black people with his Filipino brain! /S
While pitching ideas or attending meetings with such colleagues, you should be prepared with solid facts. Always double-check your sources and ensure your information is accurate. For instance, you can bring statistics to support your points. The more prepared you are, the less opportunity they will have to challenge you.
Does passive fentanyl smoke hurt you? I have no knowledge whatsoever about the stuff, sorry. I assume the guy who smokes it will eventually die just like a crackhead would tho.
The real problem is when people blame their shîtty behavior on ADHD (or autism by that matter) so they can claim they're disabled and you can't say anything bad about them - instead of just standing straight for the fact that they are just an aśshole. Mental illness has nothing to do with wether you're a decent human or not.
Nancy Collamer, a career coach and author, was quoted saying, "If 'Mr. Know-it-all' tries to dominate the conversation, you'll have documented evidence to share with the group. Being well-prepared minimizes the chance of the know-it-all taking over the discussion." This proactive approach guarantees that everyone's contributions are valued.
I think I understand what the OP was trying to say. By "feeding", he means like when a mother breastfeeds her child: selflessly and without compensation. Farmers don't feed people, they sell them food. The response did not refute the claim.
What's a turbononce? I'm hearing this word for the first time right now
According to studies, people who receive feedback are 12.5% more productive than those who don’t receive any feedback. It's important to understand that people may be unaware of the impact their behavior has on others. In such cases, offering constructive feedback is beneficial. However, pointing this out during a private discussion is better than doing it in public.
Whether it's a party or a family gathering, there's a know-it-all everywhere you go. Thankfully, you can often find ways to avoid them. Unfortunately, this is not the case in the office. While we need to interact with colleagues in a civilized manner, there are people who give savage responses to others for their less-than-informed opinions.
this requires a little context for it to fully make sense. This Nick guy has been hit with multiple community notes before for things he has said, and now he and the community noters are going at each other
Girls SHOULDN'T use each other's underwear because of hygiene, but that doesn't mean they don't do it. As a teenage girl, me and my friends/nieces would definitely borrow each others underwear at sleepovers or holidays if you forgot to bring enough and someone else had spares. Me and my mom would wear each other's underwear if laundry was late. And borrowing someone else's bikini, including the bottom part, was super super common amongst girls, I think every girl my generation did that regularly. Granted, this was in the 90s and 00s, it might be different now. It's a unwise thing to do, yes, but to say that no girls do it and that it must be a fetish, is completely ridiculous.
The catholic church sent thousands to bonfires, has sexual and pædophilia-related scandals, dark financial practices, had the crusades, and turned their face off the Jews in WWII so I don't think a fake hand-breaking apparatus could make their reputation worse.
I love pineapple on pizza. Thank you Canada.

Entertaining but misleading if you're not on Twitter (don't start with me with this X c**p). These are the jokey ones, not the usual. I've found them very helpful. These days, it's just getting harder to tell what's real and what's blown out of proportion and what's totally made-up sometimes. That's when the notes really help sort things out.
