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.

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.

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.

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.

Did any of these posts make you want to facepalm? What is the most stupid, ignorant thing you’ve read online recently? Don’t forget to share your experiences below.

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?

The whole Alpha thing is pretty much a myth- the researcher behind the concept didn’t realize that the behavior he saw in wolves seemed to be a reaction to being held in captivity. In the wild, pack leader wolves f.ex. stay away from other pack leaders’ territory. Nature doesn’t waste energy on pointless conflicts- it’s unwise from a survival point of view. The researcher spent years telling people he had been wrong but the damage was already done, probably because the myth fits so well into the toxic male ideal.

Military shaves you, strips you, yells at you, pushes you to your limits to get you past those limits because they are training you to be tougher than you were before. What they don't do is abuse you and call you a pussy while they spray a garden hose in your face for 3 days and charge you $20K. If you want military training, join the military. If you want abuse, it's going to cost you $20,000.
