Most people have heard the famous quote by Albert Einstein that “Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I am not sure about the universe.” While it resonates quite well with our daily experience that everyone, despite their great talents, good intentions, and education does err, it is questioned whether Einstein actually said it or it was just a mistaken attribution by Frederick S. Pers, yet another ironic example of human ignorance. Either way, certain mistakes sound a bit… wild! As they are more unexpected than others and probably bigger, as it is clear from this list online, where people are answering one Redditor’s question “What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve heard someone say that they were 100% serious about?” Depending on the specific situation, sometimes the best strategy probably is to just have some fun with it, while also staying aware and empathetic of this human feature.

Yeah I can just see an angry bear stop attacking you the minute you tell it to "Bend over."

As a teacher in America I'm not entirely surprised. In my area (Ohio) all information about the sun, moon, and space in general was cut from the curriculum. We're only able to teach astronomy if we somehow get through the entire curriculum weeks early. That doesn't generally happen, so our students never learn anything about space. The things my students say about the sun and the moon sometimes makes my jaw drop. Not all of them can tell me how many moons the Earth has. I wish it was different but teachers don't get to choose state curriculum.

30 Hilarious Things People Said That Prove “Human Stupidity Has No Limits” My mom said the craziest thing I have ever heard a person say in real life. She was driving me and herself to her place of work so I could spend the day helping. I don’t even remember what led up to it, but she told me she thought it was the government’s job to round up gay people and give them the choice to either covert to Christianity or die. It was, to this day, the most shocking thing I’ve ever heard someone say in seriousness.

A long time friend of mine is falling into this pit. He's... an interesting person, already. I've known him for 17 years and only in recent years has he admitted that he had a transvestite/trans-sexual friend. I use the "slash" because his story keeps changing, back and forth. Anyway, NOW, according to him, ALL drag shows are grooming young kids because they ALWAYS put on their acts wearing only "thongs and pasties", his words. When I ask him what news sources he's been reading, research, etc. he sputters, chokes, and finally coughs out, "It's everywhere!" He's also against even therapy help for transgender people, hell, he's against ALL therapy, because, "It didn't work for me!" He even complained about Pride Parades, or Pride period. I had to actually explain to him, the concept. And, according to him, the transvestite/transsexual (his story always changes), that he loved beyond reason for many years, finally committed suicide due to self hate and harassment... he doesn't get it.

Unfortunately, no. In my state, the entirety of a denomination recently "split" because some churches do NOT want to support gay rights/marriage/existence, while the rest are fine with it. My church has a trans youth leader and an openly gay choir director, so we certainly hold a safe place for all. It's sad but not true for every place.

Here's a story in a bit of the opposite direction, and on a different topic. When I last saw my mum a few months ago, she had become pro-choice. She used to work with pro-life organisations, and in my adulthood I thought "we don't see each other very much, so I'm not going to bring it up that I'm pro-choice." However, she brought it up when she and my dad came to visit me. It was something I'd never thought I'd hear her say, but it happened.

Think I was around 22 or 23 at the time. I was supposed to go on a date with an African American guy. All we were going to do was like grab some coffee. We never went on the date anyway. When I told my mom she told me not to marry him because it wasn't right I don't know if it was her racist comment or something she believed the Mormon church still believed. It would have been a first date and to get coffee! I I always expected something like that to come out of my dad's mouth because he was such a racist. I was completely taken aback when my mom said it.

It's amazing how asshats like this consistently believe that converting to any form of religion is going to stop the problem. They've had their heads up their collective asses so long that oxygen deprivation has reduced them all to the point of being incapable of understanding the simple biology of it. Gay people can NOT directly reproduce yet there is a relatively consistent number of gay people in the world and they have to be coming from somewhere and it's the somewhere that has them all flummoxed.

Many in the comments section here are just using this to bash Christianity because they'll point to examples of people behaving in un-Christian manner. Then completely ignore when someone points out the overwhelming majority of examples where Christians are just trying to be nice to people as the good book says. Same thing about racism, sexism, or anything else. BP is full of it.

30 Hilarious Things People Said That Prove “Human Stupidity Has No Limits” She was very serious that a useable hand-held shower head without a hose, because the hose was “ugly”. Asked if she meant an overhead or a wall-mounted shower head because those didn’t require a hose. Nope. She wanted the water to flow from the wall into a handheld shower head without a hose. I tried to tell her that wasn’t possible and ended up sending her to a different home improvement store.

Took me a minute when she said that because my first reaction in my head was yeah that’s how sales tax works but obviously I know how percentages work. And she stood there angrily and said that’s double taxation. That I’m wasting money by paying taxes twice. I said if sales tax is 10% and we make 2 $50 purchases, we are paying the same total as making 1 $100 purchase. She has an MBA, but after that example just seethed more and said I’m wasting money by checking out twice and getting taxed twice. Then just stopped talking to me the rest of the night…

This might actually be true, on average: the earth is an oblate sphere because it's spinning: The atmosphere is likely thickest at the equator for the same reason. Thus the shortest distance from the ground to "space" above the atmosphere would be at the poles. (I said 'on average' due to the variability of air pressure). Edit: Adding link to the NOAA website: Thickness of the lowest layer of air (Troposphere) is: "It is 11-12 miles (18-20 km) high at the equator, 5½ miles (9 km) at 50°N and 50°S, and just under four miles (6 km) high at the poles." https://www.noaa.gov/jetstream/atmosphere/layers-of-atmosphere

30 Hilarious Things People Said That Prove “Human Stupidity Has No Limits” I had a classmate in my constitutional law class who genuinely believed that the earth is flat, planets aren’t real, and neither is NASA. My teacher proceeded to show him photos of the moon and asked him “what do you think that is?”

The class also asked him “when you look up in the night sky, what do you see?”

He had no response lol. I avoided interactions with him ever since.

30 Hilarious Things People Said That Prove “Human Stupidity Has No Limits” I have a buddy who will claim to be an expert in military strategy and tactics, who at the same time claims studying history is pointless. He never served in any capacity.

Worked with a girl in a pretty nice neighborhood that would get on her hands and knees to look under her truck just in case a human trafficker was underneath with a knife trying to cut her Achilles tendon.

My SIL once said their father had a heart attack because they (my SIL) missed church one day. As in god punished her. Her father was not a man who took care of himself or watched what he ate. It was a minor thing and he totally survived.
