You know what they say — there are no stupid questions. Yet this saying has been proven wrong time and again. For example, what would you think about a question like ‘Who’d be the rudest animal?’ or ‘What would you replace all the grass in the world with?’ 

These stupid funny questions aren’t meaningful in the slightest bit, but they’re also not moronic. They can be a great way to spark a fun conversation. Whether you’re bursting out with laughter or raising an eyebrow, these questions will help you see things from a new perspective. That’s precisely what you will experience when you check our list of stupid questions people have asked. You might be wondering...

Why Do People Ask Stupid Questions?

You’ve probably asked a stupid question at some point in your life. The fact is that dumb questions are universal, and there can be a variety of reasons why someone asks one, such as:

  • They want to know more about a specific topic
  • They’re genuinely curious or confused about something
  • They want to clear doubts
  • They want to avoid making an assumption

These random nonsense questions might seem silly, but it’s always better to ask than wonder.

You can expect our list of the dumbest questions to be charmingly ludicrous. Whether you like animals or science, there are stupid questions to ask about it. Although you might not find deep, thought-provoking questions in this list, you’ll leave with a smile. Once you’re done with the list, give the silliest ones your vote so they’ll find their way to the top. And lastly, be sure to share this article with your friends!

Translation error basically. The person who made up the name got some things mixed up. The "monkey" part is from King Kong, also known as king of the apes. And being an a*s (donkey), was the same as being stupid. The correct english name was supposed to be "Stupid Monkey". Make more sense now? Don't believe me? Look it up.

Because dogs actually used to work (and many still do) like: Herding sheep or cattle, helping their owners hunt for food, some dogs worked on ships & rescued human workers that would fall overboard as well as helped to keep the vermin population down, some were bred to be big and strong so they could protect the family or village from lions and wolves, some worked with the police, some little dogs were bred to go to ground and chase away things that would eat their family's crops. These dogs would work from dusk till dawn every day. Hence "work like a dog."

What Is the Saying About Stupid Questions?

There is a famous phrase about dumb questions, namely:

“There is no such thing as a stupid question.” This phrase means that you should always seek knowledge. If one person knows less than others, they should not be afraid to ask rather than pretend they know. 

This phrase comes from Carl Sagan’s work “The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark.”

That’s why you should embrace this idea and find stupid questions to ask your friends. You can start with this list of 40 dumb questions people have been asked.

Most fish has reproductive strategy where they have large number of offspring and only a handful of them survives. Mermaids have human-like society, which is not compatible with this mode of reproduction. Therefore, they birth live children like some sharks, and those children most likely attack and devour one another in the womb until only one is left (analogically to those sharks).

What Are Some Stupid Questions People Have Googled?

We live in an age where people can just Google a doubt if they feel confused rather than take a few seconds to think about it. Many people ask the search engine strange and bizarre questions that should have been carefully considered. 

Here are some of the weirdest:

1. Am I Pregnant?

A whopping 90,000 women ask this question monthly rather than using a pregnancy test.

2. How do I get home?

Luckily, Google has devised a clever retort for it and asks, ‘Where’s home?’

3. Does farting burn calories?

Rather than telling you the answer, we’d like to see you Google it and become one of the many who’ve researched this question.

4. When will I die?

The search engine seems all-knowing, but methinks its powers can only go so far.

5. Why are we here?

We’re still awaiting an answer on this one. Let Google know if you find out.

Based on the past tense of the verb light, lit as a slang term has been part of the English language since the 1910s. It first meant “intoxicated,” perhaps because one's appearance or behavior was perceived as lit (or “lighted up”) when they were under the influence.
