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.

A science professor's comprehensive, borderline obsessive breakdown of the 12 different flavors of gummy bears went viral. The attention to detail is admirable in this emotional rollercoaster of a Twitter thread. We lost some brave gummy bears, but it was for a good cause!
We googled almost all of them and they seem legit. So memorize a few of these if you wanna impress a first date. That said, we totally don't have your back for the second when they figure out your idiotic ruse. Anyway, here are some facts, and if you wanna feel even smarter, then here's some more.

"They never told me that we're living on top!" @LoveMahalHappy tweeted the mind-blowing realization her sister had when she was keyed into the fact that we don't live on the inside of the planet. It's just a matter of time til the conspiracy theorists get to her.
Two of the most interesting developments in recent years are the rise of Anti-Vaxxers, and the amazing popularity of memes. It only makes sense the two would collide. Memes just spread so fast, it's crazy. And we all know how good Anti-Vaxxers are at helping spread anything that's going viral.
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.

Sit back and watch the 50s become the 60s before your very eyes. You can watch her (the chosen research subject) try to explain what she's experiencing, seeing to Dr. Sidney Cohen, who administered LSD to her at the Los Angeles Veterans Hospital. It would seem to be a hopeless cause, as people suggest, the only way he'd have fully understood, would've been to have taken the LSD himself.
Science writer Jacob Margolis chronicled the end for the proud little rover. The last thing they heard from the rover was "My battery is low and it's getting dark." That is some Hollywood level drama, man. Well, it did a great job anyway, and lasted for waaaaaaay longer than we expected. Good rover.
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.
Sometimes one bit of knowledge can turn your world as you know it, inside out, and open your eyes to another one you never knew existed. There's so much out there that we can sink the teeth of our hungry minds into, if we don't lose our appetite along the way. These 19 mind-boggling facts might rock you to your very core.
With every job comes a slew of misinformation about what it is you do all day. Wouldn't you believe it, Law and Order SVU isn't actually a terrifically accurate depiction of what forensics specialists do all day. Here's a smattering of the dumb conversations people have to have about their jobs.
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.
