One doesn’t need to look too far to find acts of stupidity where common sense has taken a backseat. You can easily find facepalm-worthy moments of popular celebrities online. But it’s not just them; most of us, at some point have acted foolishly.
However, it’s ignorant people who don’t take time to pause and reflect. They often stick to their opinions, no matter how irrational they sound. These people are oblivious to their own shortcomings. Sometimes when they are presented with a chance to learn and grow, they find it difficult to break free from their usual habits.
Look At This Idiot
You're On The Internet, Which Is American
These are the people we complain about when complaining about the US, not the normal people living there. Maybe clarifying that can prevent a huge us vs Europe fight here.
Reasoning with such stubborn people can be quite frustrating. And some people deal with these hopeless instances by calling out stupid people online. Just like members of the r/facepalm group, who have been doing this since August 2009. In the last 15 years, they have amassed a community of more than 8 million people, who often share the most disappointing moments they have witnessed.
But what exactly is stupidity? It’s when our ability to learn and understand things gets messed up. Several prominent psychologists believe that cognitive limitations are the reason behind people’s foolish actions and irrational beliefs. Research highlights how human cognition and decision-making persistently cause these biases. Depending on the situation, people switch from quick, intuitive thinking to slow, logical thinking.
Daaaamn
Difficult to know though. BTW, I hope it was Soundwave, he's he most annoying transformer ever. ;)
Damn Son !!
Yep That Sound Right
Conservatives: don't send aide to other countries when it could be spent here at home. Bill for free school lunches pass. Conservatives: no not like that. *eye rolled to death*
Now, our brain’s frontal lobes are responsible for rational thinking. But it can be overridden by the amygdala, a small, almond-shaped structure that usually processes emotions, like fear and aggression. Neuroscientists noted that in emergencies requiring quick decision-making, slower, rational information processing is ignored by the brain.

So, cognitive biases can help us understand some of the stupid decisions people make. For instance, people can be vulnerable to confirmation bias, where they tend to stick to information based on their existing beliefs. In such cases, they just ignore any evidence that contradicts them.
Imagine someone who strongly believes in a particular conspiracy theory. They will not think twice before dismissing any evidence or arguments that contradict their preconceived idea. This selective attention to available information can make them make nonsensical remarks.

Threaten Us With A Good Time, Why Don't You?
A new study published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface suggests that social media might be amplifying such stupidity. While constantly scrolling through our phones, we might encounter false or misleading information presented as fact. In such cases, we might make stupid comments due to our inaccurate knowledge.
Presumptuous
Never heard of that eamonn guy before, but he sounds like an a-hole
Can Anyone Explain This?

And he'd better finish cleaning that car or he'll get fired . And, pick up that trash!
Before making any remarks, we should try and educate ourselves about the topic. This spares us the embarrassment of sounding foolish and helps us make a more thoughtful and informed choice. We should acknowledge our ignorance to confront the pitfalls of stupidity. Questioning our assumptions is a great way to have a more grounded perspective on life.

Self-awareness helps us gain deeper insights into our behavior. We can also try learning from our past experiences. Consider a scenario where someone made a foolish comment on Insta. People online called them out and corrected them. After this experience, the person might develop a habit of verifying facts before posting them.

They light a candle. When it has burned through a rope, an egg is released down a ramp landing in a frying pan until a hungry tortoise starts heading toward it and pulls the trigger causing a watertap to open and fill a bathtub with rubber ducks in it. When the first duck hits the floor, they're done.

The pressure put on some k-pop stars to be perfect is insane. She actually had to issue an apology for being in a relationship. I think they have since ended the relationship due to the backlash. Is she meant to remain single for the rest of her life so that deluded fans can continue to fantasise about her being their girlfriend?

It is just a scam to keep the kids from calling out sick or trying to walk out during a rush. You can quit almost any job at will.
Load More Replies...A sign doesn't constitute a contract. This is like if I say that my policy is that whoever comments on this post must send me $50 via Paypal. I simply do not have the authority to institute such a policy.
You can institute that policy if you want. It's the authority to ENFORCE that policy that you're missing.
Load More Replies...that's how it hurt my work history. I quit and they recorded it as being no show firing. major u.s. company that all background checks go thru.. no one hires a history of no show.
Load More Replies...So what do they call it when you just walk out - it can't be 'quitting' ? Maybe 'resigning' ?
I want to be present when someone quits so I can see how MacDonalds enforces this!
Exactly, what are they going to do, lock the door?
Load More Replies...this is corporate meanness, not dumb. They record that no one quits their job, they all unfortunately got fired for not showing up after they told us they were not going to being showing up. God forbid a family member gets sick, you spend a long time caring for them, and then go job hunting. A No-show fire and then a long break in work history is poisonous to getting hired. Need to find volunteer work for a while just to possibly get looked at again. these corps. have bought our republic.
I'd love to see them try to enforce that - pretty sure police would tell them to take a hike.
What are they going to do? Come to your home & drag you to work? Not likely. Unless they like being charged with assault & kidnapping. It's just baloney intended to intimidate employees.
I get what they’re trying to do here. They want to make an attempt to resolves any issues an employee has before they have to resort to quitting. They just did a bad job executing their desire
I would LOVE to know which state this is in. You are seriously going to tell me I'm not ALLOWED to quit? Guess what, motherf*ckers?
A lot of bad-mouthing about slavery, rights, etc. This sign only means that if an immediate boss or a co-worker is giving you a hard time, typically people quit. Instead, see the store manager or area supervisor (district manager equivalent) with your complaint. They merely want a chance to deal with it first, if it's valid, rather than lose a good employee. It's a good way to weed out bad ones.
If that’s what it means, why didn’t they write “we’re sure most things can be resolved. please don’t quit until you’ve spoken to…” Instead of telling employees they CAN’T quit?
Load More Replies...No such thing as "no quit" unless they personally come over and drag you out of bed.
If I don't quit but I just stop going in, will they keep paying me, as I'm still employed by them?
If I try to leave, will they physically stop me? Will they come to my house if I don't come in? What does it mean for paperwork?
Not that different from declaring your state free from climate change.
