You know what they say — there are no stupid questions. Yet this saying has been proven wrong time and again. For example, what would you think about a question like ‘Who’d be the rudest animal?’ or ‘What would you replace all the grass in the world with?’
These stupid funny questions aren’t meaningful in the slightest bit, but they’re also not moronic. They can be a great way to spark a fun conversation. Whether you’re bursting out with laughter or raising an eyebrow, these questions will help you see things from a new perspective. That’s precisely what you will experience when you check our list of stupid questions people have asked. You might be wondering...
Why Do People Ask Stupid Questions?
You’ve probably asked a stupid question at some point in your life. The fact is that dumb questions are universal, and there can be a variety of reasons why someone asks one, such as:
- They want to know more about a specific topic
- They’re genuinely curious or confused about something
- They want to clear doubts
- They want to avoid making an assumption
These random nonsense questions might seem silly, but it’s always better to ask than wonder.
You can expect our list of the dumbest questions to be charmingly ludicrous. Whether you like animals or science, there are stupid questions to ask about it. Although you might not find deep, thought-provoking questions in this list, you’ll leave with a smile. Once you’re done with the list, give the silliest ones your vote so they’ll find their way to the top. And lastly, be sure to share this article with your friends!

It depends on whether they were born blind, but I’ve read that they experience their dreams through smell, touch, taste, etc. besides sight. The way they would experience the world in general. (Not sure how accurate this is, it’s just something I read and I’m pretty sure it’s true but it also depends on the person).

Why is it that when people are asked what they would bring to a deserted island, they never answer ‘a boat’?

A boat by itself won't help much. Which direction do you go? How far are you willing to go? Can you row? Do you know anything about sailing? Setting off in a boat might be more dangerous than staying on the island.

Why is it that you may drink a drink but not food a food?
Sven Anderson 3 years ago
Because food isn't a verb. Fooding might be a verb.. depends on the usage, and definition.
DeAndre Robinson 2 years ago
The verb "to drink" is used to describe the action of consuming a liquid, while the verb "to eat" is used to describe the action of consuming solid food. The two verbs are not interchangeable because they refer to different actions. This distinction is reflected in the different grammatical constructions that are used with the two verbs. For example, you might say "I am drinking a cup of coffee," or "I will drink a glass of water," but you would not say "I am eating a cup of coffee" or "I will eat a glass of water." Similarly, you might say "I am eating a sandwich," or "I will eat an apple," but you would not say "I am drinking a sandwich" or "I will drink an apple." This distinction is common in all languages, that have specific verbs or expressions to indicate the act of drink or eat. It could be also in some context use one verb or another, like: I drank my soup. or I ate my smoothie. However, The general rule is that you drink liquids and eat solids.

Translation error basically. The person who made up the name got some things mixed up. The "monkey" part is from King Kong, also known as king of the apes. And being an a*s (donkey), was the same as being stupid. The correct english name was supposed to be "Stupid Monkey". Make more sense now? Don't believe me? Look it up.

Why do we say that people work like a dog if they work all day when all dogs do is lie around?
TheEndIsNigh🇨🇦and🇬🇧in🇺🇲 3 years ago
Because dogs actually used to work (and many still do) like: Herding sheep or cattle, helping their owners hunt for food, some dogs worked on ships & rescued human workers that would fall overboard as well as helped to keep the vermin population down, some were bred to be big and strong so they could protect the family or village from lions and wolves, some worked with the police, some little dogs were bred to go to ground and chase away things that would eat their family's crops. These dogs would work from dusk till dawn every day. Hence "work like a dog."

What Is the Saying About Stupid Questions?
There is a famous phrase about dumb questions, namely:
“There is no such thing as a stupid question.” This phrase means that you should always seek knowledge. If one person knows less than others, they should not be afraid to ask rather than pretend they know.
This phrase comes from Carl Sagan’s work “The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark.”
That’s why you should embrace this idea and find stupid questions to ask your friends. You can start with this list of 40 dumb questions people have been asked.

Do mermaids give birth to live children or do they lay eggs?
Marek Čtrnáct 3 years ago
Most fish has reproductive strategy where they have large number of offspring and only a handful of them survives. Mermaids have human-like society, which is not compatible with this mode of reproduction. Therefore, they birth live children like some sharks, and those children most likely attack and devour one another in the womb until only one is left (analogically to those sharks).

- If you had to Marie Kondo your kitchen, what would you keep?
- If criminals turn themselves in, shouldn’t they get the reward money?
- If you could pick a mythical creature as your protector, which one would it be?
If you want to push the envelope and confuse her thoroughly, try out some of these face-palm-worthy stupid questions people have asked.

Why does a grapefruit look and taste nothing like a grape?

This is common with fruit. Dragonfruit doesn't taste like a dragon, starfruit doesn't taste like a star, and jackfruit doesn't taste like Jack.

Why is it necessary to nail down a coffin’s lid? Are we expecting what’s inside to try to break free?

I believe it is to avoid the situation that the lid slides off the coffin when carried at the burial. That would freak most people out.

Captain America has a shield, but where’s his sword?
Phil Clarke 2 years ago
given the adage of sword and shield and the time frame in which C A came about the sword was replaced by the gun. during the second world war swords were restricted to higher ranks and mostly ceremonial and science gave way to brute force. however the argument could be made that HE himself is the sword

I didn't know that, but the knowledge might come in handy sometime.

Charles O'Neil 3 years ago

What Are Stupid Questions to Ask a Guy?
If you are stuck in a boring conversation with a guy, it’s time to whip out some stupid and hilarious questions. It’s always best to keep a handy list of conversation starters and brain teasers ready to keep the discussion alive. Here are three of the silliest questions you can ask that might elicit a chuckle from a guy:
- What would your post-apocalyptic job be if you managed to survive the apocalypse?
- What’s the most imaginative insult you can use right now?
- What is the funniest name you have heard in the real world?
If that still doesn’t work, you can stump him further with this list of 145 confusing questions.

If you were put in charge of creating a brand new global holiday, what would you name it and how would it be celebrated? What time of year would it be held?

People week. Every person in the world would be celebrated without prejudice. It would start be May 12-19. Every single person gets an extra day that week off work paid. This is the reason for the whole week so it can include first responders, doctors, nurses....literally everyone.

Why do they say ‘like taking candy from a baby’ when babies tend to be greedy with candy? Wouldn’t it be easier to take money from a baby?
Danish Susanne 1 year ago
Because babies don't have the knowledge to realise when you cheat them.

Babies don't have money, but they might have candy. They also lack the physical strength to stop you taking anything from them.

What Are Some Stupid Questions People Have Googled?
We live in an age where people can just Google a doubt if they feel confused rather than take a few seconds to think about it. Many people ask the search engine strange and bizarre questions that should have been carefully considered.
Here are some of the weirdest:
1. Am I Pregnant?
A whopping 90,000 women ask this question monthly rather than using a pregnancy test.
2. How do I get home?
Luckily, Google has devised a clever retort for it and asks, ‘Where’s home?’
3. Does farting burn calories?
Rather than telling you the answer, we’d like to see you Google it and become one of the many who’ve researched this question.
4. When will I die?
The search engine seems all-knowing, but methinks its powers can only go so far.
5. Why are we here?
We’re still awaiting an answer on this one. Let Google know if you find out.

How many chickens would it take to be able to kill a lion?
Nicole Weymann 3 years ago
Depends on the way you want it to go. Indigestion from feathers would likely take a while, choking ought to be quicker (depends a lot on the lion's table manners and how hastily it eats), a very nervous lion might get frightened to death by a single chicken with good timing, and blood poisoning from some random scratch could likely not be attributed to a specific chicken.

Sven Anderson 3 years ago
Based on the past tense of the verb light, lit as a slang term has been part of the English language since the 1910s. It first meant “intoxicated,” perhaps because one's appearance or behavior was perceived as lit (or “lighted up”) when they were under the influence.
