literalism

In our quest to be right about everything, sometimes it's worth it to pull over and smell the roses of "technically accuracy." Sure, these moments, jokes and memes might not be factually correct, but they're close enough to get credit. When it's hard to be right, one might as well go for technical accuracy that isn't exactly wrong.

If there's one thing that makes us feel less stupid than we actually are, it's our ability to be technically accurate. Sure, being technically correct about something doesn't make us any smarter, but it helps us further avoid the fact that we know way less than we think. Man is that comforting, just kicking your own stupid-can down the road.

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.

If you don't know the answer to something, why not see if you can get points for just being a smart ass about it? Being technically correct won't make you actually right, and it might make people think you're even dumber than before, but it's still worth a shot. When in doubt, be clever and literal.

While we don't always have the intended answers, we can at least be smart asses about things. Technically correct jokes have the benefit of making the teller feel smart while there's not really any new information needed. These silly puns and clever jokes are technically accurate, so you can't say they're completely wrong.

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.
