We all like to think of ourselves as basically intelligent people. Does that mean that we're completely right about everything all the time? No, not really. We have the capacity to be right about most things, but the reality of knowing things is that it takes a lot of research. Why be totally correct when with a lot less effort we can be technically accurate and not incorrect? Empirical accuracy takes a second seat to the convenience of technically correct cleverness.

Yeah, we want to live our lives being as factually accurate as possible but sometimes that gets boring. It's far more rewarding to make up some stupid technically accurate moments because let's face it, being right is just about as good as being not incorrect. Sure, you might lose a few exam points by thinking this way, but no one can tell you that you aren't technically correct.

In this confusing and unclear world of ours, there are generally more opportunities for us to be technically correct about something than actually factually accurate. That would involve learning. Who wants that when you could just scoop some of that good old wit out of your brain cavity and call it technically accurate and not totally wrong.
It's impossible to be right all the time, but "right" has a friend named "technically correct" who plays a lot faster and looser with the rules. Something can be technically accurate and not wrong in a way that feels clever on a good day and mind-blowingly dumb every other day. The fact remains, you can't argue with technically accurate.
Since we're interesting beings capable of holding a few ideas in our head at once, it's sometimes fair to agree that something might not exactly be totally correct, but it may just as well be technically accurate. By no means are these observations actually intelligent, but they at least sort of feel that way.

If you can't think of something intelligent to say, just try to say something that sounds clever. And if you can't think of something clever, say something so mind-numbingly obvious, dumb, or weird that it seems like you're on a whole 'nother level. If you can't say something smart, at least be technically correct. At least that's what these clever and literal moments achieve.
When you can't think of the right answer, it helps to just think of something clever and technically correct. Well it doesn't actually help, but at least it makes you feel smart and that's something. So why not feel witty for a second with some clever and literal jokes that are technically correct.
There's no feeling quite like understanding a joke or moment that somehow manages to be witty, but also mind-achingly stupid at the same time. You can't say that they're perfectly correct, but they are technically accurate. We can't tell after reading these if we feel any smarter or if we've just boiled out our last few brain cells.

There's a time and place for overly literal puns, stupid moments and clever jokes. That time and place is here and now. Technically accurate jokes might make you feel smart, but who knows. They're right, but kinda not. They're just technically correct.
Whether it's a horrible dad joke or an intriguing observation, we have much to learn from dumb moments and clever jokes that are technically accurate. Sure, being super literal all the time might make your friends hate you, but it's worth it. Being so wrong but so right at the same time is an incredible skill that comes with the territory of silly puns and clever jokes.
These jokes may not be actually correct, but they a combination of literally correct and technically not wrong. Under normal circumstances, you'd probably not be provoked to thing about the relative ages of nipples and teeth, or consider the legal benefits of dying, but here we are, in the world ofclever and dumb jokes that are technically correct.

You can't hate an answer if it's literally not wrong. Alright, you can. These jokes may not all be exactly factually correct, but they make a compelling case for their own reality. They're technically correct. We like all jokes that are stupid but witty at the same time.
They go by many names: dad jokes, groaners, dumb puns, just awful, etc. Anyway, we love stupid dad jokes in all their forms and will jump at any opportunity to hear these nuggets of simple, terrible genius. This reminds us that we probably need to call our dads..
Not everything has to be extremely clever in order to be funny. There's a time for well-thought out jokes, and there's a time for exceedingly dumb puns and grotesque observations. While these quips, memes and dad jokes may be stupid, they are technically correct.
Here are moments of people making stupid but very defensible points, literalism beyond rationality, and wonderful dad-level puns. It's all technically correct, but also kind of dumb, but also awesome at the same time. For more moments like these, here are more boldy dumb jokes that are technically correct.
