With the power to post about yourself on the internet comes the responsibility to not spend your time putting people down and pretending to be a brain-lord. The internet is full of absurd people who think they're total geniuses just because they were an early reader. Being able to sit through a Youtube lecture on quantum physics doesn't make you a genius, but it might make ridiculous individuals believe they're geniuses.

If there's one thing no one could have anticipated about social media, it would be the sheer volume of individuals who think they're geniuses using it as a place to stroke their own egos. They're here to lie about cool things they said, ruin jokes they didn't get, and condescendingly use big words that they just learned. Nobody's safe in a world of ridiculous individuals who believe they're geniuses.
Maybe you didn't get enough sleep or maybe you were just on autopilot. There are a lot of reasons to make extremely simple, stupid mistakes that make you look like a complete idiot to strangers. It can even happen when you literally forget what you are holding in each hand and end up throwing a cup of hot coffee on your bed.
It's probably happened to you. You're holding two things with incredibly different purposes. Maybe it's a phone and a banana. You're on autopilot and prone to brain farts so you're not thinking. You take a bite and realize "oh crap I just bit my phone." Then you think that's funny and want to tell someone so you take your banana off its charger to text your friend. For some more mistakes here are some classic facepalm moments of dumbness.
When someone believes their own BS a little too hard, their ego starts to spiral out of control and before you know it, this ridiculous individual believes they're a genius. Maybe they're still riding a developmental achievement like being an "early reader" or they just took a bogus online test that told them their IQ is a thousand. Either way the internet is swimming with absurd individuals who believe they're geniuses and they're here to ruin jokes and brag about themselves.
Sometimes the brain clocks out for the day. Yes, these folks experienced some hilarious autopilot moments. You know, when you're in one environment, maybe at work, but some part of your brain thinks that you're elsewhere. Sometimes this comes about through sleep deprivation, while other times, it seems to be a totally random misfiring of neurons. Naturally, the resulting moments make for hilarious fails.
Kyle happened upon quite the startling discovery, when he realized that not everyone has an internal dialogue process. Some folks in fact have non-verbal thoughts, and need to consciously verbalize them. Yes, some folks need to talk out loud at the mirror to have a pep talk with themselves. Trippy, for some. Kyle's day was apparently all shook up, and the world as he saw it, had changed.
This guy's seemingly innocent discovery about how our brains work when it comes to the "internal monologue" process ended up inspiring quite the ripple effect. People were shook. To learn that other people in the world are able to have an internal narrative, while others aren't, was too much for some folks to fathom.
Weird perspective can make your brain do some weird things, like giving people animal faces, making inanimate objects accidentally dirty, and making giant birds. Your brain is just doing its best to deal with what your eyes throw at it, so don't blame it too hard when your eyes are confounded by strange perspective.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their most effective psychological tricks. The brain is a curious device, and it's remarkable just how easy it can be to press its buttons in your favor, with the right words/actions. Apparently an effective way to befriend people is to ask them for a favor. How about that!
Some people have an underdeveloped sense of self awareness compounded by the belief that they're the smartest people on the planet. They'll brag about the music they listen to, the movies they watch, claim to be smarter than Isaac Newton and complain that they wish they were dumber so they could relate to "normal stupid people." They're not a lot of fun to be around, and they generally make the internet a worse place. So here are some self-titled geniuses who smeared the internet with their cringeworthy bragging.
Tumblr gets in real deep sometimes. Sure, a lot of it is just memes and thought exercises, but some threads get into stuff like the historical concept of the color purple in rhyming fashion, or how modern cats became domesticated. So anyway, here's why magenta is a made up color based on your brain just doing its best.
The internet is brimming with self-important mind titans who think their intellect is all that and a bag of potato chips. You'll find them lurking in comment sections and on dating sites, just waiting to steer the conversation toward themselves in order to lie about their supposed IQs. Real great group. Anyway here's a whopping dollop of undeserved ego.
