18 Statements Of People Who Were More Wrong Than You’ve Ever Been (16 Pics)
Everybody commits errors now and again, however a few missteps are greater than others. Some Reddit topic asked their users for the stupidest thing they’d ever heard anybody say and, bro, there were some real doozies! We gathered the 18 most intolerable cases of times that individuals were off-base.
1. “In a high school history class discussing 2001 riots, the teacher mentions they used horses to break up the crowds. A girl in the back then says, “Ohh, duh, because they didn’t have cars then.” She was alive in 2001… for quite a few years.” (Ocula)
2. “What if a woman has twins in her womb of different genders, and they have sex, and the baby girl gets pregnant? What if this creates a Russian doll type scenario?”
Answer: Because of puberty.
Another one by the same guy: “Why can’t we just cut off chunks of meat from animals, let the meat grow back, then cut the chunks off again.” According to him, this would be “infinite food.”
Answer: This kills the animal.” (NebulaNinja)
3.” Why is Alaska cold and Hawaii hot if they’re both next to each other?” – girl I was in the military with.
To save space, some US maps have Alaska in its own frame next to Hawaii, so she actually believed Alaska was a frozen island on its own literally next to Hawaii.
And if I remember correctly, she also thought that lions were the males and tigers the females of one species.” (gnrowland)
4. “Me (reading): “An adult giraffe generally does not vocalize and is thus one of the quietest large mammals.”
Roommate (a biology major): Wait, giraffes aren’t mammals.
Me: … Of course, they are. What do you think they are?
Roommate: I thought it was like a horse?
Me: Horses … dude, seriously? Horses are mammals. Name some mammals.
Roommate: Dolphins? Humans. Whales. Platypuses. Bats.
Me: So you only know the trick mammals, I guess.” (RudeMorgue)
5. “While trying to help someone with their geography, I pointed at a map and asked her to identify the place I was pointing at. She said “Texas” … My finger was pointing at India. And later she also said that Africa was South America. At the time, she was 26.” (CellarDoor_86)
6. “I was standing down on the docks in Florida watching the sunset when some man came up to a cruise captain and asked, “How many sunset cruises do you do a day?” The Captain just stared at him.” (Chillaxbro)
7. “Our high school chemistry teacher to a student: If there are 100 centimeters in a meter, how many centimeters are in a meter? The girl responded: I don’t know. I haven’t learned the metric system.” (_NW_)
8. “Sociology class talking about current events, specifically Iran and North Korea’s developing nuclear programs. One girl asked the prof very gravely:

16. “Employee is rounding just about every cent up. I ask her to show me her math work. Her result is $47.3518, which she rounded to $47.36. I ask her why she’s rounding up. She answers, “Because 18 is greater than 5.”‘ (AALen)
