17 People Who Thought Earth Just Turned 2019

ADVERTISEMENT

Turns out, Twitter is good not only for sending insults but wishing good wishes as well. Shocking, I know. And just as New Year’s Eve was coming to an end, people started congratulating Earth on its 2019th birthday. We can only guess if they were trolling or being serious, but let’s just hope that they are either anti-vaxxers or flat-Earthers. Because if they aren’t, that means there’s another group of very special people that will drive us crazy while making us question the future of humanity at the same time

    Think of the most averagely intelligent person you know. Then realise that about 50% of the world's population is dumber than that. Some a lot. I wish I could believe this was a joke, but I know some phenomenally stupid people.

    I remember reading an article about how an anthropology prof tried to teach kids how to tell female skeletons from male skeletons. One girl raised a hand and said that male skeletons would have one less rib, referring to the creation of woman by God using one of Adams ribs. The prof bought time by having her go count the ribs. That's when he explained about inheritance and how, even if you lose a thumb, it doesn't mean all your children will be born without that same thumb because of how your DNA is coded. Managed to teach without treading on beliefs. These people, however, need an open handed slap in the mouth in the form of written historical records (Egypt and Sumer.)

    Exactly, but for the opposite reason you're thinking. His election was a pushback on the general level of stupidity we were seeing, and yes I'm drawing a parallel with the people who don't get that the tweets were a joke.

    "It's ridiculous that anyone believes that!" (Say many Christians who believe that Jesus was born of a virgin birth, that when you drink communion wine it's become the blood of Christ, that Jonah lived through gettng eaten by a whale, that Methusaleh lived to age 969).

    Sorry, was it not Georges Lemaitre a Roman Catholic priest who discovered the big bang. But, nobody recognizes that. I don't think that it is right to force belief on others. But, I think that the correlation between religion and stupidity should be eradicated. Faith is not calculated but that does not make it stupid.

    A good thing to do would be a Battle Royale between these people and the ones that are sure the earth is around 5000 years old. Add also the flat earthers or whatever they´re called and the anti vaccine folks. The winner would be coronated as the "Dumbest person on earth" and from there on, the human civilization would prospere as it should.

    I would be interested to see how those numbers have changed, even in the 18 months since the poll was published, given the onslaught of anti-science statements we have seen coming out of the Trump White House. "Here's a 46 volume publication of scientifically sound, extensively researched, demonstrable, repeatable, peer reviewed data with a comprehensive theory written to explain the findings and their relevance." Trump: "I don't believe that."

    Don't think age is the issue. Lower than average IQ maybe. Experience teaches a lot so we can hope it is just lack of exposure to life and knowledge, but some people are never going to understand no matter how old they get.

    I reckon a number of these are sarcastic tweets. We still use dates related to BC and AD. So perhaps some are religious. Some may be tweets from children. But reading the comments is pretty disappointing tbh. Intelligence is measured on a range of factors. I clicked on the article to read comments and I don't see a need to mock people or call them names, ever. I think there is enough negativity online already. I'm an Aussie and we have a saying here "Fair go for All". Not one of the tweets is harmful or mean. Regardless of our own beliefs, they are all excited about the Earth and the new year.

    This is why the Millennial's should be reading books instead of playing on social media, and cell phones texting. What is happening to Education? The full implementation of computers is happening. No one calls anyone now, they text. No one writes a letter. All the basic things that people should be doing. Not letting computers do it for us, until our bodies and are dead along with our brains. Might as well sit living in a chair with a straw and diapers, as long as your fingers work on a keyboard. We are becoming lazy as a society. Playgrounds for kids are empty etc.......

    There is nothing wrong with implementing computers into our education system. It is very important that they learn how to operate them since our future is based on technology. I think you are exaggerating. Most children I know are not like you describe. It's not like we removed gym class from schools.

    Geoff Kearney seems to think these 17 folks who think the world is 2019 years old, and who are stupid, must be religious people. That is, in itself, stupid as well as bigoted. He is doubtless unaware that a great many intelligent people have been religious. One of them, for example, was Isaac Newton.

    I don't know if you're joking, but if you're not then you deserve a straight answer. [Disclaimer: I am not a history buff, I had to google many of these dates and there may be inaccuracies, but at least it's close.] The year 2019 is completely unrelated to the age of the earth, which is about 4.5 billion years old. Humans began to appear on the scene about 55 million years ago although they weren't much like humans as we know them until closer to 5 million years ago. I'm not sure whether there was a calendar before 1AD (more on that in a moment) but nowadays we often refer to dates prior to that as "BC", which counts up the further back you go in much the same way as negative numbers. Okay, so in about 500AD a Roman monk developed the idea of counting dates from the birth of Christ, labelling that year as 1AD, the year before it as 1BC, and every year since as something-or-other AD. It became popular in 800AD and it's what we use today. 2019 = 2019AD.

    Listen, people. Donald Trump is our president, and if you don't like it, too bad! I'd like to see any of you survive a day as president. Donald trump has qualities that most people don't like including myself, and even though I can't vote yet I know I would vote for him because although he runs his mouth a lot, can't stop using Twitter, and makes decisions that are *sometimes* questionable, he is doing good for our country. Unemployment rate has gone down, more jobs available, etc. If you feel the need to bring up our president in a story about people crazily messing up the age of the earth, then go do it somewhere else instead of annoying other people who are simply trying to enjoy a site and have a laugh. Thank you! -Gabby

    I remember reading an article about how an anthropology prof tried to teach kids how to tell female skeletons from male skeletons. One girl raised a hand and said that male skeletons would have one less rib, referring to the creation of woman by God using one of Adams ribs. The prof bought time by having her go count the ribs. That's when he explained about inheritance and how, even if you lose a thumb, it doesn't mean all your children will be born without that same thumb because of how your DNA is coded. Managed to teach without treading on beliefs. These people, however, need an open handed slap in the mouth in the form of written historical records (Egypt and Sumer.)

    I would be interested to see how those numbers have changed, even in the 18 months since the poll was published, given the onslaught of anti-science statements we have seen coming out of the Trump White House. "Here's a 46 volume publication of scientifically sound, extensively researched, demonstrable, repeatable, peer reviewed data with a comprehensive theory written to explain the findings and their relevance." Trump: "I don't believe that."

    I reckon a number of these are sarcastic tweets. We still use dates related to BC and AD. So perhaps some are religious. Some may be tweets from children. But reading the comments is pretty disappointing tbh. Intelligence is measured on a range of factors. I clicked on the article to read comments and I don't see a need to mock people or call them names, ever. I think there is enough negativity online already. I'm an Aussie and we have a saying here "Fair go for All". Not one of the tweets is harmful or mean. Regardless of our own beliefs, they are all excited about the Earth and the new year.

    The funny thing is, we just celebrate the Earth's birthday at the end of the year. We don't actually know when the Earth was officially created!

    The worst part is, even if the Earth had been created in the year 1, it would be 2018 years old when the date switched to 2019.

    It's time to colonize other planets and get the f**k out of this "flat" planet with flat-brained people.

    I think the guy thinking these are religious people saying this is WAY off the mark. My bet is young millennials who aren't being taught anything of value in school nowadays.

    Okay even if people based 2019 off of religion, Jesus had to come from somewhere and Adam/Eve and Moses and all those old testament folks lived to be hundreds of years old before Jesus even came about. So it's like 3152 at least

    This is why the Millennial's should be reading books instead of playing on social media, and cell phones texting. What is happening to Education? The full implementation of computers is happening. No one calls anyone now, they text. No one writes a letter. All the basic things that people should be doing. Not letting computers do it for us, until our bodies and are dead along with our brains. Might as well sit living in a chair with a straw and diapers, as long as your fingers work on a keyboard. We are becoming lazy as a society. Playgrounds for kids are empty etc.......

    There is nothing wrong with implementing computers into our education system. It is very important that they learn how to operate them since our future is based on technology. I think you are exaggerating. Most children I know are not like you describe. It's not like we removed gym class from schools.

    Geoff Kearney seems to think these 17 folks who think the world is 2019 years old, and who are stupid, must be religious people. That is, in itself, stupid as well as bigoted. He is doubtless unaware that a great many intelligent people have been religious. One of them, for example, was Isaac Newton.

    I don't get it. If the Earth isn't 2019 years old, then how old is it? And why are we saying it's the year 2019?

    I don't know if you're joking, but if you're not then you deserve a straight answer. [Disclaimer: I am not a history buff, I had to google many of these dates and there may be inaccuracies, but at least it's close.] The year 2019 is completely unrelated to the age of the earth, which is about 4.5 billion years old. Humans began to appear on the scene about 55 million years ago although they weren't much like humans as we know them until closer to 5 million years ago. I'm not sure whether there was a calendar before 1AD (more on that in a moment) but nowadays we often refer to dates prior to that as "BC", which counts up the further back you go in much the same way as negative numbers. Okay, so in about 500AD a Roman monk developed the idea of counting dates from the birth of Christ, labelling that year as 1AD, the year before it as 1BC, and every year since as something-or-other AD. It became popular in 800AD and it's what we use today. 2019 = 2019AD.

    The feeling is mutual, you bird-brained ignoramus. Your ignorance and stupidity are exactly why the entire world laughs at people like you.

    Listen, people. Donald Trump is our president, and if you don't like it, too bad! I'd like to see any of you survive a day as president. Donald trump has qualities that most people don't like including myself, and even though I can't vote yet I know I would vote for him because although he runs his mouth a lot, can't stop using Twitter, and makes decisions that are *sometimes* questionable, he is doing good for our country. Unemployment rate has gone down, more jobs available, etc. If you feel the need to bring up our president in a story about people crazily messing up the age of the earth, then go do it somewhere else instead of annoying other people who are simply trying to enjoy a site and have a laugh. Thank you! -Gabby
