30 Times People Failed At Geography So Badly, They Made The Internet Facepalm (New Pics)

Is this satire? Or are they serious? Like real serious

"And Ted, the Moderna Vaccine was partially funded by Dolly Parton!"

Detroit has a lot of abandoned homes. I took my Spanish friend to tigers baseball game and as we drove through Detroit he asked me why it looked like Europe after WWIi

🤡

That's one wide border for Italians to be hopping over!

Hm, I somehow expected the dumbest /most non-educated blogs in the top 5, but here the posts deteriorate even the more I scroll down... 🫣🙄 (PS: I posted this comment when this post was around #18... 😬)

dear lord...

So who's gonna tell them?

Better say nothing and be thought a fool …

Ah, American education system...

I face-palmed so hard on this that I bruised my nose.

Where do they think the American Pilgrim Fathers came from then?

I'm American and sometimes I'm embarrassed by my countrymen. This is one of those times. Ugh. Please. Most of us aren't like this, but why must the minority become the stereotype. It makes me sad to see. (I really shouldn't type when I first wake up. Coherence goes way down.)

I didn't know England was capable of speech. *finds a random country and gives it elocution lessons*

Doesn't Quora have some kind of points system based on the number of questions you ask and answer? Sometimes wonder if people are just trying to get points 😐

Ah well you see this is why I suggested to mankind we all speak Hedgehog instead

They must be joking. Right…. RIGHT???!!!

The clue’s in the name

::faceplant onto a waffle iron::

Also: why did they name English, an American language, after a European country instead of calling it - oh, I don't know - American? There must be some far fetched reason?

Is it a riddle?

Whoever wrote this, if they were being serious, doesn’t know much about America, which makes me wonder if it’s someone who was not born in America. Say what you want about American education but we are taught that we were former British colonies who rebelled against them. We know that. It’s part of our whole identity.

You think the Eng part would be a clue...

This would be sad until you realize some conservative states have pretty much banned all books..and it shows

who wants to break it to him

The depth of ignorance is astounding.

Doesn't Quora advertise itself as a social network for intelligent people or something?

Oh god no

This is real?????

Somebody has lead pipes

Oh quora

oh my.

English comes from England, you nincompoop. Why aren't you speaking a Native American language?

Do people really not realise how dumb this sounds

Even God is feeling dizzy after reading this.. XD

Republicans have been dumbing down america for decades.

WTF?

I can’t tell if this is a real question or one of those people that posts random dumb questions on Quora

This is what I wish would show up on my Quora feed, instead I am getting increasingly alarming questions about people stalking their therapists. I am interested in questions about how a therapist would feel if (x) and administrative questions, but yikes!

This one HAS to be a joke. Please let it be a joke.

What?! Yahoo doesn't answer questions anymore?!?

Gob Smacked... An English term spoken by an American

Well, it used to be that Quora paid people to post questions. But you had to post a LOT to make even a little money. I read that they have now stopped this policy but haven’t verified that. I can only assume people just ran out of ideas as to what to ask questions on. 😂

If the question had been “Christopher Columbus ‘found’ America, and he was Italian while his work was funded by Spain, right? Why does America speak English and not Italian or Spanish?” The OP question would be dramatically less painful to read. Still painful. But less, at least.

Santa Maria 🤦‍♀️

Combo history and geography fail🤣

Surely the clues in the name

If not for one of those quirks of history, Americans could be speaking any one of around 300 languages spoken by the native indigenous people who’d lived on the continent for at least 40,000 years, or else a Scandinavian language, like Norwegian, Danish or Swedish, as there were established Viking settlements in Newfoundland exactly 1000 years ago, and signs possibly as far south as Georgia.

🤦‍♀️😵‍💫

🤣🤣🤣
