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.

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.
People often privately think they are the smartest person in the world, and that's fine for the most part. But when they get in strangers faces and waste peoples time bragging about their own false sense of superiority, things get cringey. They get real cringey real fast.
What's frustrating about people who think they're smart is that they never learn anything. Having an ego isn't illegal, but when you start trying to bully people online, say really obvious shit, and ruin everyone's time, then you've become a burden. Here's to hoping these folks can see the bigger picture.
These egotistical people's minds are apparently dripping with so much sheer knowledge that they can't help but to get it all over the internet. What did we do to deserve to stand in the presence of these intellectual behemoths? Man, they're smart.
At its best, a comments section is a place for people to discuss new ideas, share interesting stories, and tell each other jokes. At its worst, it kinda looks something like this. Egotistical braggarts tearing each other down for no reason other than to make themselves feel something. Boy it happens a lot.
Why is it so easy to notice dating mistakes when you're not the one making them? It's like this guy makes every wrong turn you could think of. The self-importance on this dude is absolutely majestic. In case you aren't familiar with this planet, this is not the first time dudes have made mistakes on dates.

Mike Tyson's the youngest heavyweight boxing champion in the world. He's conquered foes in the ring that a lot of the world couldn't even touch. He's risen to the top, fallen to that rock bottom; but he came out the other side of it, ready to close that chapter, and move forwards into a life freed from ego. Ego is the core of why he doesn't work out anymore. Tyson believes the moment he gets back into working out, is the moment he awakens that other side of himself, the Beast, if you will. It's fascinating and inspiring to listen to him explain.
The internet is brimming with random encounters with these knuckleheads. First you're chillin' in the youtube comments section and everyone is being cool, then someone brings up thermodynamics for no reason. These guys took their egos to new heights. Just a bunch of brain geniuses, all of em.
What do you get when social media lets people share every dumbass thought they have? Why you get people lying about their own intelligence, of course. These people think highly of themselves, and they very badly want everyone else to know.
These people must have strong necks and hard skulls to hold all that heavy brain in. It's a miracle they can handle those big, sopping brains, wet with armchair philosophies about Nietsche and dark matter.
You'd think social media's effect on dumbasses would be constrained to dumb jokes and some occasional oversharing. Somehow it's also given rise to narcissists who need an ego boost by claiming dubious mental superiority and bullying people online. Here are some of those so called "geniuses."
Would you look at the big brains on these folks. It's a miracle they can even hold their heads up under the weight of all that ego. Of course there's no way to prove any of these people are actually as smart as they say. What we do know is that they sure like bragging.
