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.

    Studies reveal that nearly 40% of kids believe everything they read on the internet. But children can’t be the only ones who take whatever they read online for a fact. It’s likely safe to assume that most of us have bought something we saw online that ended up being false information at least once.

    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.

    “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.

    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.

    The instances from the ‘Confidently Incorrect’ subreddit are excellent examples of why one should never blindly trust everything they see online or learn from confident people. 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.

    That's because their minister discouraged him to actually READ the book. Just to believe what nonsense he preaches. In most countries, in order to be allowed to call yourself a minister, you must at least have a diploma in the field.

    Because when Jesus died he came to make a new commandment. The reason Christians don't eat kosher foods like Jews is because of Romans 14 when it says we can eat all foods. Basically, when Jesus came he got rid of the old laws which required sacrifice and stiff and made new ones because we no longer need rituals and sacrifice to get to heaven we just need to believe in him and accept his ultimate sacrifice

    Biblical rules apply to Christians ONLY. It's your holy book, not mine. (Mine is "The Princess Bride" which only has two commandments. I have never been involved in a land war in Asia, nor have I gone up against a Sicilian when death was on the line. My soul is clean. How's yours? Before you answer, go read Leviticus and see how many you've violated.)

    You can always find the obviously gay men in the comments - they ALWAYS are the ones that hate gay ppl the most. Also, ppl who quote the Bible and then change the meaning to fit their own POV, are the same ppl who’ve never actually read the Bible which seems to be the criteria of so called Christians - worshipping a magic wizard high in the sky w/o reading the ridiculousness in the Bible too is the criteria for Conservatives.

    Corinthians A' 6:9. In the original Greek, so that those who will be offended can pretend they are lazy or they do not understand. (But, do look it up, since you mentioned it, although the English translations are all f****d up.) Ή μήπως δεν ξέρετε ότι άνθρωποι άδικοι δε θα έχουν θέση στη βασιλεία του Θεού; Μην έχετε αυταπάτες· στη βασιλεία του Θεού δε θα έχουν θέση ούτε πόρνοι ούτε ειδωλολάτρες ούτε μοιχοί ούτε θηλυπρεπείς ούτε αρσενοκοίτες... The word you are looking for is "αρσενοκοίτες" which is translated as "men who have sex with men" (The New International Version), or "abusers of themselves" (!!!) (King James), or "[those who] practice homosexuality" (New Living Translation), "sodomites"(New King James), etc. etc.

    The Old Testament describes the sinful world that made God send his only son to correct. Just for fun I'll give the Gospels a little credence, but the rest of the New Testament was written by corporate (mega)church interests, not God, so there's nothing there either.

    The aforementioned survey also revealed what social media platforms Americans trust the least with Facebook taking the lead—42% of the surveyed users said they frequently see debatable content on it. It was followed by TikTok and Twitter with 35% and 32% people respectively stating the same about them.

    Oh yes I remember standing in that long line in 1960 to get my Monkey vaccine in a sugar cube. Started loving bananas that day.

    Urdu speaker here. Tell me one word of English that is original. Fun fact, the English word pajama/pyjama comes from Urdu, which in turn takes it from the Farsi words of “pi” (leg) and “jama” (cloth)

    I'll admit. I just googled "blm land". Bureau of land management. For a second I was really worried they'd come up with a new and exciting way of being racist.

    Where do they come up with this stuff? "Sir" derives from the honorific title sire; "sire" developed alongside the word "seigneur," also used to refer to a feudal lord.

    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.

    Back in the day, when we were kids, I would try to correct one of my brothers on this kind of thing. Since it was before Google, I'd hand him a dictionary. Then he'd respond, "It doesn't say that," and walk out of the room. It was stupid coming from a 12-year-old boy. It's beyond assinine coming from a grownup.

    It´s true that "Bimbo" was or is used as an anti-black slur in German. How that should negate the fact, that is also a diminuative for child in Italian is beyond me.

    Nice. They did the math to get their answer. But this is a perfect example of starting with an invalid assumption yielding an invalid answer. Actually, the Atlantic Ocean holds 8.2 x 10 (followed by 19 zeros) gallons of water).

    One doesn't have to be American to understand that melanin is a pigment occurring in the hair, skin, and iris of the eye in people and animals. Melatonin is a hormone that your brain produces in response to darkness. It helps with the timing of your circadian rhythms (24-hour internal clock).
