smart

Call it a lack of self-awareness or whatever but the internet is teeming with people who are convinced that they not only have the facts, but are of genius level intelligence. They put people down, make everything about themselves, and completely ruin jokes. There's just a whole lot of smart-tastic brain lords whose self-importance knows no bounds.

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their surprising successes with implementing outright stupid ideas. Sometimes what seems like the dumbest idea in the world ends up defying expectations, and actually working out. 

Almost nothing makes you look dumber than having to tell other people how smart you think you are. The internet is teeming with people who are so convinced of their own mental superiority that they lack any real self awareness whatsoever. The internet is smeared with self-titled geniuses and their cringeworthy bragging.

This baby boomer wasn't ready for a millennial to fight back with cold hard logic in the comments section. You're never too old to get taken to school. 

Can't put a price on instant blessed silence, after you've dealt with a lot of wildly inconsiderate and noisy neighbors. These neighbors simply had it coming. They thought they were so clever when it came to "outsmarting" the local authorities and putting their neighbors through all kinds of loud ruckus. Fortunately, this guy had a toolkit at the ready and was able to carry out a swift and ingenious revenge. 

Sometimes people clap back with the kind of comeback that just silences the room. With stupidity and lies and general BS running rampant across the web, it's nice to see some people still busy honoring the art of a finely crafted comeback. It's our favorite kind of witty savagery. 

Folks who brag about their own supposed intelligence really know how to clear a room. A healthy dose of insecurity combined with a nice dollop of immaturity can manifest itself as ranting about one's own IQ for some reason. Why is there so much of this? Seriously, there's a lot of people out there whose self importance knows no bounds.

Just cause these are being hailed as the "most useless inventions" of all time, doesn't mean that someone out there couldn't find a use for something ingenious as the sweat gutters. You never know what people might be on the lookout for. 

These kids might not be providing the answers that their teachers were looking for, but they sure get some extra marks in our book for funny creativity. They're just thinking outside the box. 

The internet is brimming with self-important mind titans who think their intellect is all that and a bag of potato chips. You'll find them lurking in comment sections and on dating sites, just waiting to steer the conversation toward themselves in order to lie about their supposed IQs. Real great group. Anyway here's a whopping dollop of undeserved ego.

This guy tried to deal out a grammar lesson to a woman over a typo, and she handled the situation beautifully. Basically, she claps back with a series of fake grammar rules. A solid way to handle someone who's dauntingly smart with an overwhelming level of genius. 

Someone on AskReddit asked people to share the loopholes that they're currently exploiting. From using the vending machine to make change, to adopting a stubborn philosophy centered on the ideal that you're (potentially) getting paid to be "present" but not productive; people can get away with some sneaky shit. It's all about finding the loophole that works for you. 

Talk about a brilliant way to break the ice at a party, and keep guests on their toes. You're bound to get a real feel for how people perform under pressure if you break out this kind of game. 

A game by the sounds of it that asks each player to put together a 3-minute Powerpoint presentation on something they're passionate about. We've got a nice little recap below of the woman who ended up winning with her presentation on Shadow the Hedgehog's true moral compass. 

You don't want to find yourself classified as an r/iamverysmart, intellectual titan. The following are signs that you might fall under that category, or you might be one of those rare actual enlightened few, that keep your smarts to yourself.
