ego

Humble brags are the bane of our collective existence. Nothing quite grinds one's gears like having to bear witness to someone proclaiming from their high horse that they have committed an act of profound, soul-stirring beauty. It's like, we get it...you're a good person. Sometimes, the best way to spread that charitable kindness is to do so from a place of humbleness. 

Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the times that egotistical people got reminded that they "have no power here." Well, the thread isn't all egomaniacs. Sometimes, it's a case of someone literally not having power. Like the homie that couldn't pay his electricity bill because he couldn't access the internet he needed to get the job done. It can be a deeply satisfying experience to watch someone who was power tripping all over the place get put in necessary check. 

Social media has given ridiculous people a place to insert their supposed genius into everyone else's lives. It could be that these absurd people think they're geniuses because they once took a bogus IQ test. Sometimes it's just a defense mechanism for not getting a joke. Sometimes people are so caught up in their own narcissism that they start to believe they have brain powers.

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.

As good as it might feel to declare yourself a genius, call people stupid because they like a different TV show, use overly complicated language incorrectly, and absolutely ruin any joke that comes across your path, people get pretty annoyed by ridiculous individuals who believe they're geniuses. So practice your self-awareness, or you might become an absurd individual who believes they're an utter genius.

The internet isn't lacking absurd individuals who think they're utter geniuses. It's full of folks who are convinced that they're so enlightened that it gives them an excuse to be a jerk, ruin jokes and call very normal strangers morons. The web is smeared with their cringeworthy bragging. It's like some folks think using a new word they learned yesterday will give them psychic powers.

When the internet becomes a place for people to share their true feelings about things, you start to get a whole lot of people who truly feel that they're unmatched geniuses whose thoughts are so vast and comprehensive that that they might as well have telekinetic powers. Maybe they're right, maybe they are truly blessed with supreme knowledge. And they use that knowledge to mostly make snide Youtube comments and smear the internet with their bragging.

Whether it's a gross sense of entitlement, self importance or just a complete lack of self awareness, the internet is crawling with cringeworthy braggarts who think they're too smart for this world. From the high IQ claims to the joke ruining, these supposed geniuses covered the internet with their egos.

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.

Almost nothing makes you look dumber than having to tell other people how smart you think you are. The internet is teeming with people who are so convinced of their own mental superiority that they lack any real self awareness whatsoever. The internet is smeared with self-titled geniuses and their cringeworthy bragging.

Folks who brag about their own supposed intelligence really know how to clear a room. A healthy dose of insecurity combined with a nice dollop of immaturity can manifest itself as ranting about one's own IQ for some reason. Why is there so much of this? Seriously, there's a lot of people out there whose self importance knows no bounds.

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.

While social media has given the world amazing things like the ability to connect with friends and family, and share hilarious memes, there's others who use it for more selfish purposes. These folks are the ones who really know how to clear a room with their pomposity, self-veneration, and general sense of self-importance. These people who think they're just so god damn smart that you can't even begin to understand the pillar of intellect on which they sit. For more of these folks, check out these titans of knowledge.

There are a few things the internet has in abundance. One is platforms to speak your mind. Another is total doofuses who think they're literally the smartest person on the planet. Combine the two and you get some pretty cringeworthy action of totally un-self-aware folks trying as hard as they can to tell the world that they're brilliant. For more of this crap, here are some cringeworthy egotistical titans of knowledge who think they're all that.

It's hard enough to browse through a comments section without coming across infighting and negative feedback. These folks just made it even harder, proving to everyone around them that they see every blank text box as an opportunity to put others down. For more peeps who got metaphysical for no reason other than their own self aggrandizement, here are some more dangerously powerful mind titans.

Sometimes a comment thread is actually fun. There's chill people making jokes and sharing interesting information. Everyone is just there for personal enjoyment. But then someone just has to ruin it by missing a few jokes, trying to correct everyone and  claiming that they're a literal genius and that everyone else can suck a fat one. Just great.
