Some people are so wrong you don’t know whether to laugh or cry. And unfortunately, they are often also the ones that proclaim their ‘truths’ the loudest. That’s why their incorrect statements have to be refuted loudly as well, and what better way to reach a vast audience than turning to the good old internet?

Refuting false information is exactly what the ‘Confidently Incorrect’ subreddit is for. To be more exact, it’s “for those times when people are way too smug about their wrong answer”, according to their own description. Even though the community was started just a few years ago, in 2020, it has already amassed nearly 990k members, eager to show just how wrong—yet confident—some people can be. We’ve gathered some pretty colorful examples of that, so scroll down to find them on the list below and enjoy.

The sciences like astronomy and medicine use the metric system as a standard regardless of what country you're in (yes that includes the US). The metric system is all based on tens and it's very easy to convert between units of measurement, which reduces errors. Check any medication label, it's going to be in mg or micrograms

Watching someone dig their own grave by being smug about their wrong answer can be surprisingly amusing. However, misinformation online is quite a prevalent problem in this day and age. And it’s likely that the internet is where such mistaken people find the false information in the first place.

Even if that’s not where they learn it, they might find supporting statements online nevertheless. Pew Research Center pointed out that, according to a 2016 study, people tend to seek information online that aligns with their views. (Even—or maybe especially so?—if they’re far from the truth.)

Pew Research Center also revealed that after the election in 2016, 64% of adults believed fake news stories can cause a great deal of confusion. However, as much as 23% of them admitted to have shared fabricated political stories themselves, whether by mistake or intentionally.

According to Pew Research Center, the way fake news spreads is based on people’s primal quest for success and power, which is why it’s likely to persist in the future. Experts predict that, “manipulative actors will use new digital tools to take advantage of humans’ inbred preference for comfort and convenience and their craving for the answers they find in reinforcing echo chambers.”

Another enabling factor for the spread of misinformation online is the fast pace of technological change. It is believed that the rising speed, reach and efficiency of the internet, together with an abundance of online applications, can magnify the aforementioned human tendencies to the extent that false information crowds out reliable information.

But then why do we continue to believe the online world, you may wonder? Well, Forbes delved deeper into that and pointed out that looking for information online is easy—why go to a library when you have an array of webpages ready at your fingertips? Moreover, there are also no gatekeepers scanning and filtering information.

ADVERTISEMENT

“Instead of browsing a small carefully curated set of high-quality informational streams, our online citizenry are thrown into an ocean of almost limitless low-quality information, forced to expend considerable effort to forage for the rare bit of accurate insight,” the article read in part.

It pointed out that nowadays, instead of turning to a competent person, equipped with all the necessary knowledge, people tend to do a quick online search and click on the first link, whether it’s reliable or not.

Similarly to counting on the things online to be true, we tend to also believe the confident people around us. As a matter of fact, our brains are wired in a way that allows them to influence our beliefs.

ADVERTISEMENT

According to a 2017 study, people base their beliefs on three main factors: personal experience, views of the majority, and views of the confident people. The study of 23 individuals revealed that the first two were positively linked to the reward system in our brain, responsible for how happy we are after choosing something. Yet, the third one—the opinion of confident people—was the only one to have an additional effect on that reward system.

Or at least, why they should fact-check the information. Luckily, a 2022 survey revealed that as many as nine in ten Americans actually do.

thats one of the reasons the franklin expedition to find the north west passage through the artic failed. the Innuit told them not to eat the polar bear livers but the far more inteligent english lord didn't believe them and many of the crew died. they started eating polar bear because the tinned foods they took with them had been sealed with lead which sent many of the men insane. on the few human remains found there have been tool marks on the bones which is an indicator of cannablism. the doctor who found this out was vilified by the uk government because an english gentleman would never resprt to cannablism. Dr John Ray was correct, but he still is pretty unknown among explorers but he is the main source for early contact with the canadian innuit and learned much from them before even starting his adventures

If the sun has no power when it’s cold, then why do people risk snow blindness if they don’t shade their eyes when skiing, walking, or whatever on snow when the sun is bright in the sky? Why do some people ski on bright sunny days while wearing bathing suits and other warm weather clothing if the sunshine reflecting off the snow doesn’t generate enough heat to feel warm, but not melt the snow? Then there’s the light the sun gives off all year round. Hell, even in Alaska when it’s dark in winter, there are still a couple hours of light during the day, though the sun stays low on the horizon during those hours—-then they have midnight sun all summer. And let’s not forget the effect of solar flares and sunspots on the Earth. Heat is not the only power the sun has.
