In this day in age, social media allows people to share anything and everything they want. Sadly, even when they really, really shouldn’t. Just because you have a sounding board, doesn’t mean you should use it. Like these very unfortunate people.
Here are 65 people who have shared some of the dumbest things ever on Facebook.
At least their idiocy gives us all a good laugh. And remember, people – when you post it online, it’s there forever. And just because you deleted it, doesn’t mean that people didn’t see it or screenshot it. Be careful out there!
1) World War III
This smart person is thoroughly confused about a lot of things. Someone needs to tell him that Hitler is indeed dead and WWIII is most certainly not happening. At least not yet, anyway.

2) Not a cat
Alright, we understand that people might not have ever seen or heard of a sloth before, but a cat? Really? We have to admire the confidence this person has to blatantly ask such a silly question for the world to see.

3) It’s called gravity and our atmosphere
This person is asking a question that is almost painful to read. By this same logic, wouldn’t she think that people would just fall off the earth too? How is this possible?! Oh yeah…science.

4) Red Box employee
Obviously, we all know that the RedBox machine is just that…a machine. Well, I guess not all of us know that. This person was so gullible that they believed when someone told them RedBox was hiring a person that sits inside the machine and hands out movies.

5) Interesting looking panda
Koalas and pandas look very similar, so we understand why this person was confused. Wait – what?! They look nothing alike in any way, shape, or form. In fact, both koalas and panda bears are very unique and striking looking.
6) Go back to school
We sort of want to smack this person across the head and tell them to go to school again. Like…from the beginning. Like, kindergarten. Does someone also want to clarify that a dolphin isn’t a fish either?

7) They don’t know how movies work
This poor, poor soul is extremely confused about a multitude of things. First, they can’t seem to grasp that the Titanic most certainly did happen and that the move is based on the tragic event. And second, they don’t seem to understand what actors are.

8) Exchanging vowels
Most people exchange vows at their wedding, but these two people are exchanging their ‘As,’ ‘Es,’ ‘Is,’ ‘Os,’ and ‘Us,’ and sometimes ‘Ys’. At least the ceremony won’t take that long?

9) Underwater lake
This person probably just had a brain fart when they wrote this post and they really meant to say ‘underground’ instead of ‘underwater’. At least we hope that’s what happened because, otherwise, we’re concerned for this person. And, of course, someone had to call her out.

10) Fat bird
We don’t know what the heck this person is seeing but it sure isn’t the turtle that it is. In fact, they think it’s a bird – a fat bird. And we’re scratching our heads over here about it.

11) She needs a geography lesson
Aww, poor girl. Not only is she not the brightest, but she’s also becoming more confused by the moment thanks to her not-so-bright friends. Girls, it’s time you revisited some of the most basic U.S. geography facts.

12) There is, actually
This one is just kinda sad, really. There, in fact, really is an ‘i’ in happiness, but, of course, you do need to spell it right. But, we appreciate their sentiment.

13) The Empire State Building
At least this girl picked a landmark that was in the same city? Although it’s a bit concerning that she doesn’t know that this is clearly the Statue of Liberty and not the Empire State Building.

14) Weird-looking parrot
What the heck is this ‘weird-looking parrot’ doing in front of our flag? Oh yeah, that’s a bald-freaking-eagle! Our country’s majestic and regal bird!
15) RIP
It will be a sad day when Michael Jordan leaves this planet, but, thankfully, that shouldn’t be for a very long time. His career with the Bulls, however, has most certainly come to an end. This person is a tad confused as to what these dates represent.

16) The great island of Alaska
This person has been living their entire life not knowing that a very large country named Canada sits right above us. And that Alaska is actually attached to it. It’s not a weirdly-shaped floating island with one side as a very straight line.

17) The Great Wall of Michigan
You know that really famous, really ancient, giant structure that you can see from space? That’s the Great Wall of China and it’s located in…China. Not Michigan.

18) Peguins
We really hope this person just doesn’t know how to spell pigeons. Because they can’t spell ‘penguins’ either. And who gets that excited about pigeons? So many questions here.

19) That’s not how that works
I mean…she isn’t wrong. Her ‘copy/paste’ suggestion works. But only if you’re on HER computer. She doesn’t seem to know how all of that works. Bless her heart.

20) Wrong John
First, it’s John Lennon. And, second, John Legend is very much alive and will be for decades to come. She looks like she was born near or after the year 2000, so we’ll let it slide. As much as we don’t want to.

21) Google it
Romania is most definitely a country but Delaney here isn’t very convinced. She’s certain it’s the name of a store. And we can’t confirm or deny that, but Romania is still a country.

22) Snow?
We don’t know if this person really doesn’t know what snow is or what is happening, but we’re so confused by this. Do they really think the snow is sand? Have they not seen or know what sand is either?

23) So trippy, dude
This guy doesn’t seem to understand that just because there’s a ‘W’ painted on the netted part of the raquet, doesn’t mean it will create a shadow. We hope someone explained this to him.

24) Commas are so important
Here is a prime example as to why commas are very, very important. It could be all the difference between eating THEN pooping and actually eating poop. Seriously, learn to use commas, people.

25) For hours?!
So, you’re telling me that this girl stood on an escalator for hours just waiting for it to turn back on? They literally become stairs when it breaks down. Just walk up or down them.

26) So much wrong is happening here
Between the god awful spelling and the idiotic behavior, we don’t really know which one is worse. Can you help us decide? Yeah, didn’t think so.

27) Just a little mascara
We’re not sure about you, but it looks like she uses an entire tube of mascara every time she does her makeup. And someone actually wants beauty tips! It’s a strange world we’re living in.

28) Lost phone confusion
This person doesn’t seem to understand that the person who finds their phone can’t call them because…well…they have their phone. But the logic can’t quite seem to find its way to Austin’s brain. Poor dude.

29) Why you hatin’ on Puerto Rico?
We don’t know what Puerto Rico ever did to this person, but they seem to have an issue with them. What they don’t realize is that Puerto Rico is actually an American territory. So…there’s that.

30) More Titanic confusion
It seems like there are many people out there who think the movie Titanic was a documentary. Do they really think there were people just filming as people were drowning in the freezing Atlantic Ocean? These people exist. And that’s terrifying.

31) It’s hard not to shake your head at this one
This woman is basically bashing her daughter’s intelligence online. But what she doesn’t seem to realize is that she’s the no-so-bright one in this argument. Does she think we’re just making some regular trips to Pluto to pick up plutonium?

32) Male
Oh, man. We just have to question if we’re living in reality sometimes because comments like this make us doubt ourselves. What do they think ‘male’ means?

33) Pre-heat the oven to 800
When this person wanted to bake cookies for her entire office, she would need to double everything in the recipe. However, she doesn’t understand that it only applies to the ingredients – not the temperature of the oven. Could you imagine an 800-degree oven?!

34) Do YOU have a brain?
So, if something can’t talk, that means they don’t have a brain? That’s what this confused person thinks, apparently. And they also think dogs are voice-activated too?

35) Really?
This person seriously believes that there is a car inside the bank. When it’s painfully obvious that it’s just the reflection. And it even looks like it’s the reflection of the car they’re in.

36) Math is hard
When this person was 6 their sister was half their age, making the sister 3-years-old and, therefore, three years younger. However, when the older sister turned 70, this math genius thought that the sister would still be half their age and only 35-years-old.

37) Wait, what?
Does this person really think that doctors shouldn’t exist simply because they weren’t around at the dawn of time? We can tell them what people were doing before doctors were a ‘thing’ – they were dying.

38) You mean Photoshop?
We don’t know what photocrop is but we’re assuming they meant to say Photoshop. And clearly, they have no idea how live television works. What does the inside of their brain look like? Terrifying.

39) Promoting dropping out
Why aren’t more kids just dropping out of school to get real jobs? Oh yeah, because that makes zero sense at all. We wonder what ‘real job’ this person has.

40) Have they tried jumping out of a tall tree?
If physics can’t explain anything, we’d like to see them maybe try a few experiments for themselves and see what happens. We’re pretty sure gravity and inertia are very, very real.

41) Legit question
You know, the corona virus is a very real and scary thing. So, it only makes sense that you want to make sure you’re ultra-safe. Like this super smart person who thinks you might be able to get the virus from Chinese food.

42) How do time zones work?
“Lady in the US calling fake on an Australian news article because it was written tomorrow morning,” posted u/RoxyHjarta. It’s amazing the tiny little bubble people live in. Often times, those people are here in the U.S.

43) Well, you look like an ass
We’re not sure if this person has ever seen a goat before but they’ve definitely never seen a donkey, that’s for sure. We were first confused by the photo but then we were completely thrown off by the comment. People are amazing.

44) That’s exactly what that is
Before they make a statement to the world about vaccines, they might want to know how vaccines work first. We’re glad people are seeing the record straight, but we’re not 100% confident she’ll understand.

45) Next-level stupid
This super smart person doesn’t seem to understand that they could simply switch the numbers around. But they’re literally going to purchase new numbers instead and selling these ones. Next level stupidity happening here.

It is possible to be anti-dog fighting but still like to enjoy a good burger every now and then. But for some reason, this person doesn’t think so. And who on earth actually supports Michael Vick?!

54) “Pet-free”
“Pet-free” seems to be a term being used very loosely in this ad. Seeing as we can literally see a cat sitting on it. But hey, whatever makes it sell.

This isn’t your every day stupid, people. This is seriously advanced stupid and it hurts to even read it. How is she not getting this?!

56) What are they teaching in schools?
Clearly, this person hasn’t heard of A.D. and B.C. when it comes to the measurement of time. So, basically, they thought that the earth literally began just 2019 years ago? Wow. Just wow.
