It’s hard to have lived through the last few years and not think everyone is stupid as hell, but if you’ve maintained some innocence and faith in humanity then this thread started by u/GuyWithAScuffedLife will finally destroy it.

They asked r/AskReddit:
“What is the dumbest thing someone has said with full confidence?”
Um, have they watched a presidential press conference this decade? We live in a world where saying something completely stupid with your full chest is the best way to get attention. In a way, the stories below are relatively quaint, because they’re mostly conversations between two people—two adults for the most part, which is alarming.

A lot of the stupid things people say have to do with science, of course. They kind of sound like pre-enlightenment “scientists” who were just cutting up corpses and doing weird crap and then saying stuff like, “Fireflies are born out of mist.”
Except we now exist in a world with Google! Even if you can’t make it down to library, you can do a quick search on whether or not rabbits really lay eggs. And if you just found out they don’t, you might really relate to some of the stuff below:

Not sure if this counts, but one time my little brother walked up to me and awkwardly asked “is the cat dead” as he held our cat, who was purring… —Electrical_Ostrich_4

My friend told me if you had a test with 101 questions and you got them all wrong, your score would be a -1. Yeah, I’d love to see the grade calculators handle that one. —Trouble102134

That being diabetic is something you can DO at home, and an addiction that is not suitable to DO when in public.
Yes, someone told me that in full confidence. —Emile_the_rat

A woman yelled at me for parking a car with a handicap tag in a non-handicap spot. She believed that I had to park only in handicap spots. —ocrohnahan

My roommate once told me we were in South America. We live in Canada. —renklo

A coworker of mine once told me that any animal could reproduce with any other animal, that DNA wasn’t important and that all sperm was the same.
She believed this because she once saw a litter of diseased, deformed puppies and had decided that they must be half rat. —Hypersapien

My grandmother always believed whenever we saw a rain clouds in the distant she would be upset(being a farmers wife) because she thought the clouds were sucking the water out of the ground. My mom set her straight but I don’t think she believed her though —comicsemporium

“I thought the turtle would eat algae. That’s what my koi did.”
The baby turtle was kept in a small glass bowl without algae. It also didn’t have UV light, and was fed shrimp, the turtle equivalent of living on desserts. I got it a perching spot in an aquarium, UV light, water heater/thermostat, and real turtle pellets.
This person otherwise comes off as fairly bright, and sustains himself with his own businesses. The differences between fish and reptiles apparently didn’t really hit him. —FlavorD
