Ever hear someone proudly sound off about something with zero evidence and the confidence of an influencer with a ring light? (You’re online, so of course you have.) Sometimes it’s fairly innocent, and you can give a nervous giggle, nod, and move on, preferably swiftly. Other times, you realize there are simply no words that could ever get through to them. And sometimes it feels like the whole world is running on that same confidence.

Thankfully, r/DelusionsOfAdequacy isn’t having any of it. The sub’s stance is refreshingly blunt: “if you celebrate ignorance… we hate you!” What you’ll find instead is a mix of “feigned intelligentsia,” geek things and sharp, funny observations about the world we live in. Some are simply hilarious takes on just how bizarre society can be, while others are a little more biting, even decidedly dystopian. Here are some of the best.

    Remember: in Fahrenheit 451, they burn books not because of censorship. It's because people got used to reading five-minute summaries instead and started feeling like actual books insult their intelligence.

    If you still feel like supporting Israel "defending itself", there are verified reports of babies (!!!) in Gaza kilㅤled by sniper bullets. So not just a victim of random crossfire. Some IDF animal saw a literal infant, deliberately aimed at them and pulled the trigger. Do with this information what you will.
