For some reason, people can't stop lying on the internet. Whether it's a scam, spreading BS information that they wish was true, or straight up making crap up for revenge, there's some imaginary incentive a lot of people have to be dishonest to strangers. Sometimes these liars get caught while trying to sell their lies to the world, and the results make us froth with justice juice.

It could be poor reading comprehension, gullibility, or just a failure to check sources, but many people have a problem with understanding satire. Even when it's not subtle, some folks really just miss the point of satire, or don't want to get it. Sometimes it's funny to see someone react with outrage over a fake story about NASA shooting a chimp into the sun. Other times it's just kind of pitiful, like when someone uses a joke as a source in an actual article.
If you didn't have faith in yourself at work, fear not, because someone out there is screwing up more than you. And it's not just one person screwing up.

At its core, an argument is a very common and simple act where two people who disagree on something deliberate over the truth and best course of action. When both parties are interested in a joint solution, consensus can be reached. The problem is that a solution also requires that the people who are arguing can actually agree on the point of the argument, how to actually argue, and the rules of objective reality. Here are some times when people realized they were talking to someone who couldn't be bothered to want to agree, didn't have the energy, or was just flat out dumb as rocks. In a similar vein, here are some of the dumbest arguments people have found themselves in.
It's not uncommon in cases of choosing beggars to send an entitled buyer to pick something up, but in reality send them on en endless wild goose chase. This kind of trolling is typically reserved for the more abusive, entitled, and unobservant people who try to waste other people's time with tactless low-balling.
There are a lot of ways to fail a driving test. You could roll through a stop sign or forget how to use your blinker. If you're really bad, you could even hit the instructor.

Some people grow out of it, some don't. Children are stupid idiots. Sure, they're just learning everything about the world for the first time, but hot damn are they dumb as rocks for a while there. We were dumb too. We're still dumb, but we can do long division and drive, so that's pretty good.
Who in their right mind would think it's appropriate to ask someone fly to a different country to do multiple shows for free, and try to pass it off under some "love of the game" BS? Like, you can be passionate about music, but that would be just plain stupid. We've seen a ton of choosing beggars, but what never fails to bewilder is when they straight up get mad when people don't want to be taken advantage of.
Everyone knows you don't just copy and paste from Wikipedia! You've gotta change some of those sentences around and throw in some synonyms to throw em off your trail. Students have always been pretty stupid. Are they getting dumber? Who knows. Maybe these days we just have much better ways of documenting the stupid.

It's one thing to tell your boss you strained your back while lifting something heavy, but it's another to fully explain that you were trying to throw a bowling ball through a second story window "for the glory."

These folks are absolute masters of their craft of being dumb. This be the land of stupid attempts, lies and general dumbassery.

Man, we need better sex education. I guess you can't shame people for asking hilarious questions, but some of these assertions are so stupid they're almost dangerous. Even more disappointing, it's the people who don't understand how sex works that end up accidentally having the most children.
Tour guides see tourists do some really dumb things. If there's one thing to take away from these, it's that tourists are dumb. Not just kinda dumb. But like, real simple. Like, can't find their own ass kind of dumb. After a while it gets sad realizing these are the kind of people who represent you around the world.
If you want terrible life advice, there are a lot of places you can find it. Even if someone thinks they have your best interest at heart, they might not exactly have the proper wisdom to be helpful. Here are some really bad ideas. Some folks dodged these bullets, others regretfully went through with them.
We get it, spelling is hard. Sometimes autocorrect gets the best of you. Some words just suck. No one knows how many "r"s are in tomorow and the placement of the "a" and "u" in restuarant are a complete mystery. But the amount of effort you have to not spend to end up with misspellings like these is god-damned amazing. Check this out for some more dumb misspellings.
For whatever reason, the internet is full of people who love to lie. Maybe because it's easy, maybe to make money, or maybe because it's fun for them. Either way, we thankfully still have an online community that values the truth. And to be honest, it gets us real hot and bothered when we see some awesome online justice get served. For more, check out these triumphant times liars got called out on their stupid BS.
