This Facebook Group Is Dedicated To “America’s Cultural Decline Into Idiocy”, And Here Are 50 Of The Funniest Memes
The United States is famous for many things: stunning national parks, delicious comfort food, a wide variety of landscapes and a beautiful blend of cultures. But along with the hundreds of Nobel Prize winners the United States boasts, it’s also home to a handful of individuals who seem to have slept through much of their education...
Below, you’ll find a list of photos from the Facebook group “America’s Cultural Decline Into Idiocy,” which documents exactly what it sounds like. We’re well aware that in a nation of 336 million people, not everyone can be the sharpest tool in the shed, so don’t judge the whole country based off these select individuals. But we hope you get a kick out of these pics, whether you’re from the US or not, and be sure to upvote the ones that cause you to facepalm.

Ah, the United States of America. Land of the free, home of the brave and home to a wide variety of individuals. As with any other country with such a large population, you’re bound to find some kooky people. But that’s just part of the fun, right? I’m from the US, and although I’m not always proud of it, as everyone I meet seems to have an opinion on it and knows much more about it than I often know about their respective countries, it will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s where I was born and raised, and my whole family lives there. So I might not bleed red, white, and blue, and I’m well aware that the country isn’t perfect, but I’m always happy to visit!
America’s Cultural Decline Into Idiocy might sound like a harsh name for a Facebook group, but it was created in good fun. It was launched on February 28th, 2015 by Aidan Hand, and it has amassed an impressive 232k members since then. When it comes to how the group was born, the creator shared in its about section, “Now, let me say this. I love America, and I love good old fashioned American culture, too. Baseball, Apple Pie, Family Values, Freedom, and national pride. With that said, there has been an undeniable ‘Dumbing Down’ of America in recent years.”

That's funny. I must say that 30 years ago, when I was still learning English, I was briefly confused by this. I didn't think it stood for Florida, and since I saw it on liquids all the time, I figured it was "Fluid" all by my lonesome. I must say that while I speak a couple of romance languages besides English, the similarities are many. For instance, while I don't know how "Fluid" is translated in Spanish (not much occasion to use it in daily parlance) , in Italian is "Fluido". No need to have a 200 IQ to figure that one out.

I'd bet this indicates that his ancestors have been living really really long, in an area where not much nutritiously valuable fruit are present and they had to resort to eating grass, so they had to grow longer guts to harvest enough out of that. As grass will neither run away nor grow above ground, they didn't need to run fast, so shortening the legs was of advantage, as it reduced visibility to predators. Or so.

The larger abdomen was also needed to digest all the grass. Since grass is very hard to digest the intestine must be prox doubleas long sothat the nutritients can be sufficiently detracted

“Idiocy is all around us,” the group’s about section continues. “It's everywhere we look. I hear it in people's speech, I see it on TV, in advertising, and particularly in signage all across America. It's gotten to the point of not only being accepted, but sometimes defended, as well. When you point this stuff out, you're the bad guy, an insensitive jerk, and sometimes even labeled prejudiced! Well, I'm taking a stand, America! Because I love you, I'll be the bad guy for you!”
“My mission is simple: To point out the idiocy all around us when I encounter it, and hopefully make you laugh your [butt] off while I make my subtle, yet somewhat depressing point: We are in danger of becoming a nation of idiots!” the creator writes. “So, please go ahead and post the funny, insane, innocuous, and downright laughable examples of idiocy that you encounter each day. Let's enjoy it together!” The group is not intended to hate on the United States or bash everyone in it; it’s just here to make light of some of the most ridiculous behavior seen there and provide some good laughs. So please, pandas, understand that we have no intentions of bashing America with this list.

There may be many reasons why the United States has the quirks that it does, but one I can’t help but consider is the public education system. Now, the quality of education an American receives varies greatly based on what state, city, and neighborhood they live in, along with how many resources they have outside of the classroom. For example, a higher-income family will be able to afford tutors and SAT-prep that many other families would not have access to. So we wanted to explore what some of the biggest failures of the American education system are, which Kate Barrington at Public School Review has broken down.
First, Kate mentions a decline in government funding. “For more than 90% of K-12 schools, funding comes from state and local governments, largely generated by sales and income taxes,” she writes. “Research shows, however, that funding has not increased with need – many states are still issuing funding that is lower than it was before the Great Recession. Lower funding means fewer teachers, fewer programs, and diminished resources."

The next glaring failure of the American school system that everyone around the world is keenly aware of is the decline in school safety. It seems like school shootings are in the news every week, nowadays, and it is absolutely heartbreaking to imagine the trauma that countless children have gone through, not to mention the parents who have lost their little ones. Kids can’t feel safe in their classrooms either, as one poll found that over 50% of teens in the US reported that they worry about gun violence at school, and teachers have to understand that they might be in a life-threatening position at work. There is debate over whether teachers should be armed at work, but these people signed up to be educators, not security guards. Unfortunately, the United States has yet to get school safety under control.

We all know that having wonderful teachers can have a huge impact on our education, as they can more easily motivate kids and prevent them from viewing school as boring and pointless. Unfortunately, due to the pathetic salaries the US provides for teachers, it’s nearly impossible to find great ones. “Research shows that the average salary for public elementary and secondary school teachers dropped by nearly 5% between the 2009/10 school year and now,” Kate goes on to write. “States like Oklahoma and Colorado experienced a 17% and 16% decrease – these states also saw massive teacher walkouts in 2018.”

Jonathan Haidt wrote a piece for The Atlantic titled, “Why The Past 10 Years Of American Life Have Been Uniquely Stupid,” and he addresses the fact that social media has essentially been fuel for the fire of political divisiveness, amplifying the more “idiotic” voices on both sides. “The dart guns of social media give more power and voice to the political extremes while reducing the power and voice of the moderate majority,” Haidt writes. “The ‘Hidden Tribes’ study, by the pro-democracy group More in Common, surveyed 8,000 Americans in 2017 and 2018 and identified seven groups that shared beliefs and behaviors. The one furthest to the right, known as the ‘devoted conservatives,’ comprised 6 percent of the U.S. population. The group furthest to the left, the ‘progressive activists,’ comprised 8 percent of the population. The progressive activists were by far the most prolific group on social media: 70 percent had shared political content over the previous year. The devoted conservatives followed, at 56 percent.”

So America’s “Cultural Decline” may actually have much more to do with perception than reality. “Part of America’s greatness in the 20th century came from having developed the most capable, vibrant, and productive network of knowledge-producing institutions in all of human history, linking together the world’s best universities, private companies that turned scientific advances into life-changing consumer products, and government agencies that supported scientific research and led the collaboration that put people on the moon,” Haidt explains.
But this arrangement is not self-maintaining, he goes on to note. It requires work. “So what happens when an institution is not well maintained and internal disagreement ceases, either because its people have become ideologically uniform or because they have become afraid to dissent?”

I'm fairly certain that's one of those MRA troll accounts that gets off on pretending to be super woke feminist, but deliberately says extremely stupid stuff, with the intention of making women/feminists look bad. A few years ago there was a minor Twitter kerfuffle because a bunch of "feminist activist" Twitter accounts announced a campaign to ban Father's Day for being non-inclusive, then later it was exposed as a hoax created by an MRA group on Reddit who'd created and maintained all these fake Twitter accounts pretending to be women. There's a ton of spoof "woke" Twitter accounts out there.

Side note, it's kind of cute to out the cows on the side. Makes me think they are treated well...
Haidt goes on to explain what he believes happened to many of America’s key institutions in the mid-to-late 2010s. "They got stupider en masse because social media instilled in their members a chronic fear of getting darted,” he writes. “The shift was most pronounced in universities, scholarly associations, creative industries, and political organizations at every level (national, state, and local), and it was so pervasive that it established new behavioral norms backed by new policies seemingly overnight. The new omnipresence of enhanced-virality social media meant that a single word uttered by a professor, leader, or journalist, even if spoken with positive intent, could lead to a social-media firestorm, triggering an immediate dismissal or a drawn-out investigation by the institution. Participants in our key institutions began self-censoring to an unhealthy degree, holding back critiques of policies and ideas—even those presented in class by their students—that they believed to be ill-supported or wrong.”

As real vanilla is rare and expensive, almost the entire world is used to "Vanillin", an invention first marketed by Dr. Oetker, and I believe it was developed in their labs, too, that has the two main aromi of vanilla, but none of the hundreds that are of minor intensity. For anything where just a slice of the multi-layer-cake or similar stuff shall taste like vanilla, this sure is good enough. For something vanilla plays a main role in - no.

Well, this one particular visit the bears just weren't feeling like taking a dip. My mom was being all haughty about it, saying "The zoo used to cost only $8 and now it's $30 for the new polar bear enclosure. So, I didn't get my money's worth if we aren't seeing the bears swimming. Isn't that what we're paying for?" Holy f**k I just wanted to smack her back to Pluto. I even told her, "What do you expect them to do? Throw them in the water like a dad teaching swimming lessons?"

The problem arises because of biannual vs biennial which do mean two different things, leading people to assume bimonthly/biweekly must also be as ambiguous. What upsets me is that biannual had a distinct meaning from biennial, but it got so muddled the dictionary now defines it as both since usage dictates meaning. So we had a perfectly good word that is now superfluous because too many people got it wrong.

It literally means both which is why I won’t use it in documentation and removed it from our policies where I work. It’s a minimum of once every 14 days, not biweekly, because a minimum of every 60 days is quite a difference.

Sigh.... yes this is a bit funny, but: Eating donuts/sugar does NOT cause diabetes. Please can we stop perpetuating this misconception on BP! Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune condition that cannot be prevented. Type 2 is partly genetic, but also often linked to lifestyle, such as being inactive or overweight. So, it’s not really “eating sugar gives you diabetes”, but more “eating an unhealthy diet and not exercising enough may increase your risk for developing type 2 diabetes.”
Bunzilla 2 years ago
I can't imagine that eating contests help though. People who eat 'competitively' get a lot of health problems. Including increased risk of type 2 diabetes if you regularly overeat.
