If you have even a dollop of empathy, it hurts to watch someone make a fool of themselves in public. Unfortunately for anyone allergic to secondhand embarrassment—but fortunately for anyone who enjoys unintentional humor—the world is full of delusional people who think they’re better, smarter, and wiser than they really are.
The r/im14andthisisdeep online community gently mocks folks who think that they’re sharing deep and meaningful insights, but they end up being super cringey. We’ve collected some of the worst offenders to show just how real the Dunning-Kruger effect is. Remember, if you feel awkward reading these, you’re human.

Yeah The Whole World Is Filled With Hypocrites. Such A Deep Message
I have an atheist friend who became seriously ill and could have died. No miraculous religious conversion happened. The only people who think we atheists are just "Christians in denial" or otherwise super easy to convert have obviously never spoken with one. Or at least no further than "I'm here to tell you the Good News" followed by "not interested, get off my doorstep".

In 1975, there were 45,500 deaths due to car accidents in the USA, population 216 million. In 2025, those numbers were 36,640 out of 345 million. Total deaths fell by 20%, and the per mile rate fell by more than 60%. This is from the NHTSA website. All this is to say.....f**k you, whoever made this, you absolute moron.

We adapted models we found in nature since the beginning of humankind, if something works, why not learn from it?. So, what's your point?

Not wrong. A college/university degree does not mean you know everything about everything. People who’ve been in the trenches are valuable and should also be appreciated
Good Guys Don't Have Friends
Friends don’t just drop into your life like manna from heaven. If you never leave your house, don’t whinge at me that you don’t have any friends
I Think This Belongs Here
Again wheres the stupidness of this? He's right. Some of the listed traits may not relate to the point, but he's right.

Men Are The Most Mistreated Marginalized Group
NO women were harmed in either world war! All the nurses who treated the wounded were men, only men were sent to the d.eath camps, no women disguised themselves as men in order to enlist, no women were taken out in the various b0mbings involved... yeah, that makes sense!

Every gen has its rebel phase. They just forget that when their kids do it

I've watched enough adult clips for men who enjoy the company of other men to know where the second scenario is going to end. And it is probably a little different from what OP has in mind...

No. No. No. Especially when children are involved. A woman needs a partner. Not another child to raise. I am not your mama

the 1944 generation also lost their s*it if a black person sat in the wrong part of the bus or drank from the wrong water fountain. And by "lost their s*it" I mean would often [unalive] the black person in question.

Jeans are functional and comfortable. You are not being forced to wear them however.
Brains Are Bad
Studies have shown the exact opposite of this to be true - people with higher IQs tend to be happier than those with lower IQs. Look up a study titled "The relationship between happiness and IQ: The contribution of socio-economic and clinical factors", out of University College London.

Uh, when kids go to school the day includes outside play and other activities that involve running around, including sport. Even back in the "good old days" when the teacher was allowed to whack you with a ruler there was still lunchtime period for socialising outside.
The Sad Reality Of This Generation 💔
“Our youth love luxury. They have bad manners and despise authority. They show disrespect for their elders and love to chatter instead of exercise. Young people are now tyrants, not the servants of their household. They no longer rise when their elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up food and terrorize their teachers.” - Socrates

R/im14andthisisdeep is a gold mine for nonsense. My friend and I used to scroll there until even we got tired of the ridiculousness.
The title warned me not to read. I just came to see the comments at the end. Delulu... Wow. This is where we are now? We can't write delusional?
