50 Embarrassing Posts Shared By Clueless Americans (New Pics)

Things posted on the internet cannot be unposted. That’s part of the game. But there are surely things we have posted that we’re not necessarily very proud of. Some, however, have no clue about their clueless arguments and remain unapologetic.

And there’s this corner of Reddit known as “S***AmericansSay” which is notorious for busting these kinds of instances. In fact, the community of 353k members is sharing the most cringeworthy and clueless posts spotted surfing on social media. That includes but isn’t limited to blunt arguments, embarrassing comments, hilariously inaccurate shares, you name it.

Below we selected some of the most entertaining examples that will surely make you chuckle and wonder what those people are thinking. Psst! Here's part 1 of the post with more stuff Americans (and the rest of the world, for that matter, ‘cause no one is immune to cluelessness) say!

The use of social media has increased throughout the world, including emerging and developing nations in recent years. And, across the 11 emerging economies surveyed for this Pew Research study, 28% of adults say social media is very important for helping them keep up with political news and other developments occurring in the world.

Simultaneously, the spread of misinformation has reached new heights. With the pandemic ransacking the globe, it has become vital to separate facts from fiction and stop the harm from false statements. Today, the question of what we hold as a true and trusted piece of information and not is key, but the boundaries between the two are becoming increasingly blurred. So what happened?

According to Kevin Kelli, the co-founder of Wired magazine, “Truth is no longer dictated by authorities, but is networked by peers. For every fact there is a counterfact and all these counterfacts and facts look identical online, which is confusing to most people.” When you think of it, most online content is created, shared and altered by people online. Add the lack of attention to whether the information is accurate, and you have a toxic cocktail for reproducing countless inaccurate and false content.

Meanwhile, this new study published in Nature that involves an experiment conducted by a group of researchers from MIT, the University of Regina in Canada, University of Exeter Business School in the United Kingdom and Center for Research and Teaching in Economics in Mexico, showed some interesting findings about the way people perceive what’s inaccurate online.

“It seems that the social media context may distract people from accuracy,” study coauthor Gordon Pennycook, an assistant professor of behavioral science at the University of Regina, told The Journalist’s Resource. According to him, although people are often capable of distinguishing between true and false news content, they fail to even consider whether content is accurate before they share it on social media.

According to Pennycook, “The downstream effect of improving the quality of news sharing increases with the influence of the user who is making better choices.” He added: “It may be that the effect is as effective (if not more so) for users with more followers because the importance of ‘I better make sure this is true’ is literally greater for those with more followers.”

Victor, that's a bit rude. You know all British people are not English, yet you call them that anyway knowing it offends a lot of the non English British people. I'm not offended by people who genuinely do not know, but you know. I might as well call you German because - well why not? It's all Europe and Germany has more EU clout than Spain.

I am sad I laughed all day on BP and then come to this, and walk away, again, with all that laughing and smiling and interesting content slapped right off my face with yet another "Americans are just so stoopid" rant. Pulling stuff off IG or Reddit or "the internet" that is purposely populated by hateful and narrow minded jerks is just continuing that hateful and narrow mindedness. The bias and irresponsibility, as a global site, to just think it's "fun" to bash Americans, just like some bash Christians, or gays in some countries, or Polish in some countries, or Finnish in some countries... or...why? I can find just as much mocking and hate towards many countries and groups..not on BP tho. And it shouldn't be here at all

I am praying that is the case - and it probably is. The thing to keep in mind is that the majority doesn't always control things. It is the loudest, richest, most vocal and prolific, most power-hungry and greediest that do. And the type of thinking portrayed in this thread plays right into their hands. I would guess those type of people are happy to perpetuate such thinking amongst their supporters, along with the idea that only they can fix things.

Yes, some Americans are incredibly stupid. I'd like to point out, however, that the "Freedom Convoys" started in *Canada*, the UK voted for Brexit, and Russia is trying to rewrite history as a pretext for grabbing Ukraine. Stupid isn't restricted to any nation. It's a failing of the species, like greed, and cruelty, and a desire to feel smugly superior to others by encouraging stereotypes. Dehumanizing Americans is not any better than dehumanizing .... anyone else. And that is, ultimately, the goal of such things. To make it easy to not care about the targeted group. Consider that, please. I'm not some butthurt American. I'm just disgusted by yet another round of same-old same-old. Honestly, this stuff is like listening to my in-laws talk about how all Poles are (fill in unpleasant blank) ... Yeah, yeah, we get it.

We do have fast bank transfers ( within minutes now) pay by watch, smart banking. we learn a lot about world geography and history we speak several languges. Of course we have our own idiots here but we dont have flat earthers here and our morons are not that loud and secure about themselves as your morons I guess. and of course you have more morons statistically as you are a larger country. so they are all over internet "representing you". Also our morons often write in the local language so that may be the case why we do not see a selection of polish or serbian morons on BP.

To be honest, a lot of us in Europe are mutts also. Britain has been invaded over and over and whatever makes us British today is a mix of a whole range of peoples. The US - just more recent that's all. Ancestry IS interesting and I don't think anyone minds someone saying their ancestry is Irish/French/Spanish or whatever. Just don't claim to BE Irish/French/Spanish etc. Why is American not a thing though? That I don't get. Culture is the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people or society. Americans have that. Might be incredibly varied but that's a positive.

As an American kid I was fortunate enough to have traveled and spend my summers in Egypt to visit relatives there. By doing this I was able to immerse myself in a different culture and would often have lengthy layovers in other countries as well (mainly in Europe.) I haven’t traveled that far in almost 20 years and this summer, I’m taking my 12 year old daughter there for the first time with a layover long enough to explore a little bit of Zürich. After having the impression that so much of the rest of the world may default to us being “dumb Americans” (this post is a prime example,) … I am a little nervous about this upcoming trip! On a different note, it’s sad that so many Americans don’t have the opportunity to travel outside of the country… so many parts of our system are built to keep us uneducated, poor (wages, healthcare costs), and with very little time off work for travel.

Nothing is "free" Tom. Nothing. If you want to get pedantic, everything that is called "free" has a hidden cost. Therefore the word technically shouldn't exist or ever be used. But it is used, because people KNOW that it is a relative term. They know that "free healthcare" MEANS "tax funded". They know that when a store offers "buy one get one free", it really means a 50% discount, and the store is just reducing their profit. You are still giving them money...

I don't think that American people are any more stupid than any other nationality. The problem is that they are victims of 2 centuries of indoctrination, propaganda, isolation and religious fundamentalism. They have been indoctrinated since childhood to believe that America is the world's greatest country and that as all other countries are inferior, there is no point in learning about them and that only American interests matter. It is true that in many parts of America things are improving, but in others they seem to be regressing.

Sad to say, I'm still learning history about what has happened here (American), even just from 50 years ago. Sometimes it feels as though there is a lock on information; if you don't know what you're looking for you won't find it. It's crazy and scary. Not to mention the huge push of propaganda for food, media, materialism, etc. that seriously ostracizes a person who doesn't 'buy' into it. Try telling people you don't want *name brand* because of slavery and you can be ostracized and bullied- as an adult. Look at the Natives here, they were forced into schools that demonized their natural culture and tried to "cleanse" them of barbarism. That isn't taught in school, it's not publicized. How do we know about something like that unless we dig? I found that by accident. I'm rambling, but suffice to say it's a lot more complicated than "stupid". There is deliberate misinformation and distraction going on, and it's not just here in America.

I'm in no way against 24 hrs instead of 12, just live in a place where 12 is used. Am curious how you answer the question "what time is it?" if it's 16:00. it feels silly and military to say "sixteen hundred hours" also feels somehow wrong to say "sixteen o'clock". Do you just say "sixteen"?

Milan 2 years ago (edited)

Yes, sometimes, we will officially say its “sixteen null null”. But mainly we just say its four 😁 But it is not about what you (we) use, is about that country which do not use 12 still know without any problem how 12 (AM-PM) works. The whole 12-24 thing is so simple. It is not rocket sience, its just a very, very simple couting, because day have 24 hours. Honestly i dont know how somebody can fail in such a simple thing ☺️

But it is not only our problem here in Europe, Austria, Germany, French, Hungaria etc… has this type of political parties. PEOPLE are not trying ban abortions or instill religion in schools, dont lie, just one old witch, which got less than 5% in election. It is her agenda for over 20 years in politics, she did nothing else for our country and she never succeeded (fortunately)
