You've always been living in a wild and strange world. These historical facts are a blatant reminder to that....

If you just keep doing something you learned in childhood without any self reflection, you might end up doing some stupid things for way too far into your adult life. Sometimes song lyrics or figures of speech don't make sense until you see them in writing. People are often wrong, even about their own health, but what sucks is when you're publicly, idiotically wrong for waaaaay too long.
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.
People say incredibly dumb crap all the time. We're just glad that sometimes there's someone to witness it. If someone is alone in the forest, and they say something dumb, are they still an idiot? Yes, absolutely. In fact that probably makes them more stupid. Here are some instances of wondrous ignorance to scoff at.
Oh man, you don't want to get into a smart-off with these Leviathans of intellect. Lord knows their enormous brains, crackling with knowledge, would have you slumping at their feet. Seriously, who thinks they're this smart? And further, who thinks it's an attractive quality to go around repeating it?
Some pieces of trivia can stick around in cultural consciousness for way too long, especially if they're untrue. It can be tempting to repeat a myth just because it sounds shocking and "unbelievable." There are oodles of misconceptions that people have about the past and future that just never seem to die.
It's a big world out there, which means there's a whole lot of opportunity to hear some pure, unadulterated stupid. You wouldn't believe how many people out there are totally in the dark about how the technology, biology, and even tarps work. What a great time to be alive. If this isn't enough, then here's more of the dumbest things people have heard.
Knowledge exists all around us, and we can surprise ourselves with our ability to weave together one piece of knowledge into answering another moment's question. In this case, we're looking at the arts, and the role they've played in various Tumblr users' lives, and being able to use their Arts knowledge to their real world benefits!
