This reminds me of this girl I knew in high school who was practically melting down because she thought she was pregnant. After some discussion, she finally admitted that, because she had French-kissed her boyfriend, she simply _had_ to be pregnant. _Her mother had told her so._ The poor girl was near self-deletion because her mother had outright lied about how a girl gets pregnant. Mom was strict religious, and wanted to discourage her daughter from "dallying" with boys. Of course, this presupposes that if she had instead had intercourse instead of a French kiss, she'd think she was totally safe, and wasn't a bad girl, because she didn't open her mouth during intercourse.

High school Sex Ed unit in Health Class: A male student asked the teacher, “Why does birth control even exist?

OK here’s the thing. My math skills are ridiculously bad. But even I know how exponents work. I didn’t when I was in elementary or middle school, but that actually makes sense.

My brother genuinely believes in that whole "socio-sexual hierarchy" crap. He got mad at my sister when she said that it's basically just zodiac signs for men.

He said, "Yeah." *?!?* So you believe this whole thing "based on scientific fact" (no joke, he said that, which is 110% false) but you *know* it's based on something that has been proved as a myth?! I had to resist the urge to argue more because it was pointless but I wanted to explode. He believes he's the "sigma" male type and says he's trying to figure out his personality through this crap.

Years ago my wife and I worked at the same company. We had a 45 minute commute each way. A new lady got hired on and she lived a few blocks from us so we carpooled with her to save on gas money. By the end of the week I was already regretting it. Every conversation would turn into a completely low intelligence display on her part. It was like she had never been out in the real world. She was obsessed with anything weird like bigfoot, aliens, 9/11 conspiracies...etc. I felt like committing self harm by bashing my forehead into the steering wheel. I think the dumbest thing she ever said occurred after my wife and I got a new dog. It crapped on our carpet and that somehow came up in the conversation. Without missing a beat the woman says: "Well, it was a full moon last night." Like WTH? I expressed to my wife my desire to quit the carpool situation. When I couldn't get my wife to take several hints I finally just told her how dumb this woman was and how much I dread the twice daily conversations. This upset my wife, she thought I was being mean. To be honest my wife had a habit of collecting weird friends and it was a contributing factor in our divorce. A guy can only take so much of every purple haired weirdo on the planet trying to get with my wife or play the opposition game for the sake of creating drama.

He asked me "what do you give them to drink?" I kept a straight face and replied "we give them water", Though inside i felt like saying "guiness, we give them guiness, never give them jack daniels ir they will fight with their toenails"

I used to do 2 hour timed runs with my friends on the cross country team and a team from close by. In the winter, when it was freezing or below. Not only did we wear shorts, we ran without shirts and every chance we got, we would shove each other into the snow. Well, the river would freeze and we would run on that. Its not fun to fall on ice, so I suppose then we didnt do that on the river, but on land? Fair game. Find a chance to push someone into the snow so that they have to eat? We were always looking for that. But people....my coach even (this was just meeting up with other runners, outside of school, outside of practice, on our free time) would always say "you are going to get sick running like that in the cold"......my own mom told me that. I had to inform them that cold actually will not, in fact, make you sick. Its other things. Some people argued. I am right.

that sleeping with a pregnant lady one, complete bullshit. only thing close is actually more likely in animals who breed in litters than humans. basically if say a female dog mates with 2 or more males then a few of the puppies could be from one and the rest from the other. but even though it's the rarest case scenario in the world I can think of I wouldn't doubt there's at least one instance of a girl sleeping with 2 guys on the same night, having twins, and having one belong to each father. something like that would make Jerry Springer based headlines.
The egg one has some merit. Usually eggs are in the diary department of the grocery store. When people make eggs a lot of times they'll add butter and/or cheese to them. Maybe that's how your girlfriend got confused. Eggs aren't diary, but they are found in the dairy department and they are frequently prepared with dairy products.
I work with a guy who might have been messing with me but seem to be genuinely suggesting that "Devils Rock" is actually the stump of a tree, and that the world was covered in them. I went to google earth and mapped out how big around the tree is and compared it to our town. We work in a building that is over 1 million square feet. They say its actually 7 buildings all combined, but whatever. Its not even the biggest one in town. And Devils rock would be bigger than my whole town (at 1 mile circumference).... So....taking into account that a single tree would be a mile in circumference, where the hell is the rest of the forest? And what happened to all of the traces of the rest of the "trees"? I mean, my area....I work .2 miles from home.....would be completely covered by one tree. I go to walmart? maybe another tree on the way. I think I did the google earth thing and it came out to only about a dozen trees could be between me and the next county over. A dozen trees. How would the world have had forests at that rate? My current property had so many trees when I got it that the trees were stunted and growing at angles to find light. I have 100ft trees on my property and those were the 20ft ones. Shaped like a bow. How would all the rest of the plants have survived with such a huge canopy from such a massive tree blocking all the light? People really dont think things out.
15:23 I've kinda had the same thing. I had someone say I HAD to be rich because I call 1-4 dollar coins (Canada) "Change" and because im just good at budgeting. I'm poor as shit but not because I choose to spend on random shit like the man arguing did

There's a "soft" sci-fi short story I remember reading where humans arrive on Mars and find it inhabited, and the Martians have a totally peaceful society with no leaders, only advisers. They have this type of society because unlike Mankind, the Martians never had a "fall from grace." They have no money. People work for the common good just because it's the right thing to do. Nobody steals because everything is free, and everyone who can contribute to society does so. An example given in the story is that building materials are stored in convenient warehouses, and every time someone has need of the materials, they just go and take what they need. Mean time, people who make the materials periodically check up on how much is left and "top it up" when it starts to get low. (Basically, it's what Communism was supposed to be, only it never worked on Earth because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, and whoever is "in charge" of Communism always becomes corrupt even if they weren't corrupt from the start).
It's not the entire Sahara but there is a very good argument that the Richat Structure, also known as the Eye of the Sahara, is the remains of the capital city of the ten cities of Atlantis. th-cam.com/video/oDoM4BmoDQM/w-d-xo.html
OK, the kid are going to Anthro solely so he could study Bigfoot, dear. Lord. God! My verbal equivalent of a face palm. No, anthropology is a much deeper and more complicated science than that, Bigfoot is completely utterly, unrelated, as our dinosaurs. Anthropology, in the United States, is comprised of four branches, and the four quadrants. You have linguistic anthropology, physical anthropology, what I call, biological anthropology, or bio Anthro, cultural anthropology, your Margaret me, your Boaz, and archaeology. In other countries, they are separate disciplines, and you would need to go into a program, for whatever one you want to specialize in. Under the heading of bio anthropology, since anyone saying physical anthropology is kind of in denoting you GenX movement, is primatology, your Jane Goodall. It is my first love, but it isn’t thing I quickly understood. I would never be able to do, I cannot see the other side of a microscope. Take a while and guess what my major in college was, it was anthropology. I am a bit of a science geek.
1:38 isn't actually as stupid as it sounds. Kid you not I got a DNA test done for my first child (same situation) and it came back that 26% of my DNA was in them. Explain that one
Are you related to the biological father? That's one possibility, the simpler one. Another one is way more complex and unusual. It's called chimerism (google it). It means that there are people who have mixed DNA, like, every person has their own DNA, usually 50/50 father and mother, but sometimes when two babies are conceived at the same time (or very close), instead of getting twins, only one baby grows, having the DNA of two different people (baby A and baby B). So, it might have happened that your lady conceived baby A with the other gentleman, and soon after baby B with you (or vice versa), and then the two embryos became one baby, who usually has no health problems at all. It's extremely unusual, and it may happen in different ways than the one I just remembered. I saw something about that in a SciShow video about 'there are more than two human sexes' (or something alike) explaining that some people have both male and female DNA. Also, there's the possibility of a contaminated sample, if you had just (let's say) shared an ice cream with the kid, or another external thing that mixed your DNA with the kid's. And, finally, there's the possibility that you misunderstood what the exam said. Many times these things are written like in a wartime code and one can reach conclusions that aren't there. Better, check everything again and have it explained carefully. Good luck. ✌
@MariaMartinez-researcher I honestly think it's that second thing you mentioned. The bio father and I are not related at all, he doesn't have blonde hair nor does anyone in his immediate family. The mother is half black from her father and her mother's side, although her mother is what you would consider "clear skinned" in Caribbean culture. My daughter looks JUST like me - she's blonde, strikingly so, left handed and enjoys much of the same things I did at her age.

This happened at my store. A guy ripped his coat from our walls & demanded we pay him a new coat because our walls are pointy. I laughed but he gave me an “Excuse me?” look & that’s what made me realize he was serious.
"..if you keep aiming for the stars, you can reach the moon...". I had tears from laughing so much at this🤣

That actually sounds like a cool fantasy novel idea. I could potentially understand how he could think that if he said that perhaps only the smallest animals were able to fit on Noah's Ark, making it so only the smallest genetic variants survived, but the fact he goes on to talk about rocks in the shapes of animals having been real animals at one point just ruins all of his credibility, if he ever had any in the first place xD
My ex-boyfriend told me the reason he majored in archeology was because he wanted to be like Indiana Jones…Not because of the innate passion to dig up bones, research about past civilizations…but because he wanted yo be like Indiana Jones….yeah I broke up with him soon after
When I was little I thought there was China and japan and that was the entirety of Asia
Then I met a girl in my “gifted” classes who was Vietnamese

Back in my middle school days I thought Greek mythology was a documentary of what happened in ancient Greece.
@@aduckofsomesort Yes and now I realize how dumb I feel.
That is too funny, in many ways you are not too far off. Not exactly factual, but you do get an understanding of how they lived, what they believed, and what they believed was important, that kind of thing.
My friend would crack open his car sunroof when we went up or down mountains claiming it made your ears pop easier.
I tried to explain to him that cars weren't air tight and cracking a window had no effect on the actual air pressure in the vehicle he just said.
"My ears just popped! See?"
High school Sex Ed unit in Health Class: A male student asked the teacher, “Why does birth control even exist? If a woman doesn’t wanna get pregnant, all she has to do is pee out the sperm?” (I’m aware semen CAN come into contact with the urethra and therefore urination would remove a small amount of it away, but this guy genuinely believed women urinated through their vagina.)

Maybe she worked in a grocery store. In many, the eggs come in and are stored with, or at least near, the dairy lol
They store canned corn near canned tuna in my store, corn must be fish then.
I had to explain to someone from Florida with maybe half the average amount of brain cells that, despite having an AC switch, the thermostat was ONLY connected to a heater, not an AC. I was so frustrated with that half hour of my life (and she never got it) that I have never made any attempt to speak to her since. I would prolly end up picking a fight.
I feel like the weird dinosaur fallen angel thing would make a cool book. I kind of want to write it now
OK here’s the thing. My math skills are ridiculously bad. But even I know how exponents work. I didn’t when I was in elementary or middle school, but that actually makes sense. Well, during my freshman year of college, I was trying to explain to one of my roommates that three cubed isn’t nine. It’s 27. No matter how much I simplify the process I just got this.😐 finally I just gave up.
I guess I got lucky and got it explained to me as "it's a short way of doing repeated multiplications, and the number in the exponent is the number of times the number you're multiplying appears."
That animal rock guy was pretty neat...dumb but a really cool way of thinking
My brother genuinely believes in that whole "socio-sexual hierarchy" crap. He got mad at my sister when she said that it's basically just zodiac signs for men. I, who is a major animal nerd, asked him, "You do know that the socio-sexual hierarchy was based off the whole alpha and omega dominance hierarchy in wolf packs that was proven to be *false* right?" He said, "Yeah."
*?!?* So you believe this whole thing "based on scientific fact" (no joke, he said that, which is 110% false) but you *know* it's based on something that has been proved as a myth?! I had to resist the urge to argue more because it was pointless but I wanted to explode.
He believes he's the "sigma" male type and says he's trying to figure out his personality through this crap. WHAT?!? You never *ever* try to base your personality on something you saw on the internet! 🤦
Poor Patrick, looks all innocent in the thumbnail😂😂

Not entirely false. Even though a flood didn't happen, animals were bigger and stronger because there was more oxygen in the atmosphere, like 40-48%. Nowadays it is around 24%
Girl asked my friend Sharif where he was from and he responded Im from Egypt....her response "yeah right?!?! Egypt is an ancient country like Atlantis." These words painfully seared into my brain like branding a bull! It was seconds of silence before anything else was said by anyone, just cofused faces....
Years ago my wife and I worked at the same company. We had a 45 minute commute each way. A new lady got hired on and she lived a few blocks from us so we carpooled with her to save on gas money.
By the end of the week I was already regretting it. Every conversation would turn into a completely low intelligence display on her part. It was like she had never been out in the real world. She was obsessed with anything weird like bigfoot, aliens, 9/11 conspiracies...etc.
I felt like committing self harm by bashing my forehead into the steering wheel. I think the dumbest thing she ever said occurred after my wife and I got a new dog. It crapped on our carpet and that somehow came up in the conversation.
Without missing a beat the woman says: "Well, it was a full moon last night."
Like WTH? I expressed to my wife my desire to quit the carpool situation. When I couldn't get my wife to take several hints I finally just told her how dumb this woman was and how much I dread the twice daily conversations.
This upset my wife, she thought I was being mean. To be honest my wife had a habit of collecting weird friends and it was a contributing factor in our divorce. A guy can only take so much of every purple haired weirdo on the planet trying to get with my wife or play the opposition game for the sake of creating drama.
5:21 is possible but incredibly rare and due to a medical disorder.

I worked in a petshop for 5 years. The highlights:
1)A woman looking in at the hamsters and cooing at how cute they were. She asked me what they were and i said "hamsters" to which she exclaimed 'eww no, i hate hamsters, theyre gross!"
Dafuq?!
2) a dad watching his kids with the rabbits. He asked me "what do you give them to drink?"
I kept a straight face and replied "we give them water",
Though inside i felt like saying "guiness, we give them guiness, never give them jack daniels ir they will fight with their toenails"
The one who got the friend to say all those things have a 50/50 chance of happening sounds like a great "plus one" for when Jordan Klepper goes out interviewing people.

Is the fighter plane one funny cause they have radars? I might be missing the joke
Yep. Clouds don't stop radar.
I used to do 2 hour timed runs with my friends on the cross country team and a team from close by. In the winter, when it was freezing or below. Not only did we wear shorts, we ran without shirts and every chance we got, we would shove each other into the snow. Well, the river would freeze and we would run on that. Its not fun to fall on ice, so I suppose then we didnt do that on the river, but on land? Fair game. Find a chance to push someone into the snow so that they have to eat? We were always looking for that.
But people....my coach even (this was just meeting up with other runners, outside of school, outside of practice, on our free time) would always say "you are going to get sick running like that in the cold"......my own mom told me that. I had to inform them that cold actually will not, in fact, make you sick. Its other things. Some people argued. I am right.
10:14 , tbh depending on the situation it can work out , clouds can act as IR suppressors , only problem is that if the cold night is without clouds then you'll just standout like a soure thumb
that sleeping with a pregnant lady one, complete bullshit. only thing close is actually more likely in animals who breed in litters than humans. basically if say a female dog mates with 2 or more males then a few of the puppies could be from one and the rest from the other. but even though it's the rarest case scenario in the world I can think of I wouldn't doubt there's at least one instance of a girl sleeping with 2 guys on the same night, having twins, and having one belong to each father. something like that would make Jerry Springer based headlines.
The egg one has some merit. Usually eggs are in the diary department of the grocery store. When people make eggs a lot of times they'll add butter and/or cheese to them. Maybe that's how your girlfriend got confused. Eggs aren't diary, but they are found in the dairy department and they are frequently prepared with dairy products.
My entire family was convinced the Sun was smaller than the moon
I work with a guy who might have been messing with me but seem to be genuinely suggesting that "Devils Rock" is actually the stump of a tree, and that the world was covered in them. I went to google earth and mapped out how big around the tree is and compared it to our town. We work in a building that is over 1 million square feet. They say its actually 7 buildings all combined, but whatever. Its not even the biggest one in town. And Devils rock would be bigger than my whole town (at 1 mile circumference)....
So....taking into account that a single tree would be a mile in circumference, where the hell is the rest of the forest? And what happened to all of the traces of the rest of the "trees"? I mean, my area....I work .2 miles from home.....would be completely covered by one tree. I go to walmart? maybe another tree on the way. I think I did the google earth thing and it came out to only about a dozen trees could be between me and the next county over. A dozen trees. How would the world have had forests at that rate?
My current property had so many trees when I got it that the trees were stunted and growing at angles to find light. I have 100ft trees on my property and those were the 20ft ones. Shaped like a bow. How would all the rest of the plants have survived with such a huge canopy from such a massive tree blocking all the light?
People really dont think things out.
1:30 I thought the same about nails as a child, and not just as a young child.
15:23 I've kinda had the same thing. I had someone say I HAD to be rich because I call 1-4 dollar coins (Canada) "Change" and because im just good at budgeting. I'm poor as shit but not because I choose to spend on random shit like the man arguing did
To the credit of the guy who thought that the Saharan desert is the remnants of Atlantis, there are theories about the eye of the Sahara is the location of the lost civilization of Atlantis. However it is simply a theory with not too much evidence aside from circumstantial historical records.

Geez, did your friend perforate your rectal wall or something????
Thank u,
I don't blame people for getting confused about getting sick from wet hair. Because I have sinus issues, sleeping or going out with wet hair gives me a godawful headache and makes my nose drip. So it's true you can't get sick from that but you can certainly feel sick.
Has no-one there heard of hairdryers?
Actually, video stores did request for vhc tapes to be returned rewound.They specifically had stickers that said,"Be kind.Please rewind."Some stores would charge a small penalty fee..She wasn't the dumb one.
But. She was talking about DVDs at the time.

Former coworker was extremely stupid but here’s some fun high lights; while proclaiming herself the most Catholic person on the planet she said she supported abortion, was having an affair (he was married and it ruined his marriage, which she knew) and that the pope didn’t know everything about being Catholic. I’m not a Catholic but isn’t the pope the guy who decides what Catholics believe more or less? Has also said that she cannot be wrong with a straight face, she actually believes that. She got one of those dna tests and thinks her 0.13% African dna makes her black (white AF) and has actually called black people brother and sister. We live just outside the ghetto she is going to die one of these days
Fine line between stupidity and schizophernia, judging by these stories.

So while the guy who didn't believe in the dinosaur bones was dumb, the alien thing has nothing to do with it really. I've only recently stopped being a catholic but when I was still one i asked more senior member about aliens they believed in aliens as well. When I asked them how it worked with our beliefs. They simply said "God made them too" and that's it lol
There's a "soft" sci-fi short story I remember reading where humans arrive on Mars and find it inhabited, and the Martians have a totally peaceful society with no leaders, only advisers. They have this type of society because unlike Mankind, the Martians never had a "fall from grace." They have no money. People work for the common good just because it's the right thing to do. Nobody steals because everything is free, and everyone who can contribute to society does so.
An example given in the story is that building materials are stored in convenient warehouses, and every time someone has need of the materials, they just go and take what they need. Mean time, people who make the materials periodically check up on how much is left and "top it up" when it starts to get low.
(Basically, it's what Communism was supposed to be, only it never worked on Earth because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, and whoever is "in charge" of Communism always becomes corrupt even if they weren't corrupt from the start).
Lol.
It's not the entire Sahara but there is a very good argument that the Richat Structure, also known as the Eye of the Sahara, is the remains of the capital city of the ten cities of Atlantis. th-cam.com/video/oDoM4BmoDQM/w-d-xo.html
OK, the kid are going to Anthro solely so he could study Bigfoot, dear. Lord. God! My verbal equivalent of a face palm. No, anthropology is a much deeper and more complicated science than that, Bigfoot is completely utterly, unrelated, as our dinosaurs. Anthropology, in the United States, is comprised of four branches, and the four quadrants. You have linguistic anthropology, physical anthropology, what I call, biological anthropology, or bio Anthro, cultural anthropology, your Margaret me, your Boaz, and archaeology. In other countries, they are separate disciplines, and you would need to go into a program, for whatever one you want to specialize in. Under the heading of bio anthropology, since anyone saying physical anthropology is kind of in denoting you GenX movement, is primatology, your Jane Goodall. It is my first love, but it isn’t thing I quickly understood. I would never be able to do, I cannot see the other side of a microscope. Take a while and guess what my major in college was, it was anthropology. I am a bit of a science geek.
1:38 isn't actually as stupid as it sounds. Kid you not I got a DNA test done for my first child (same situation) and it came back that 26% of my DNA was in them. Explain that one
Hmmmmm
Maybe your son impregnated her.
Are you related to the biological father? That's one possibility, the simpler one.
Another one is way more complex and unusual. It's called chimerism (google it). It means that there are people who have mixed DNA, like, every person has their own DNA, usually 50/50 father and mother, but sometimes when two babies are conceived at the same time (or very close), instead of getting twins, only one baby grows, having the DNA of two different people (baby A and baby B). So, it might have happened that your lady conceived baby A with the other gentleman, and soon after baby B with you (or vice versa), and then the two embryos became one baby, who usually has no health problems at all.
It's extremely unusual, and it may happen in different ways than the one I just remembered. I saw something about that in a SciShow video about 'there are more than two human sexes' (or something alike) explaining that some people have both male and female DNA.
Also, there's the possibility of a contaminated sample, if you had just (let's say) shared an ice cream with the kid, or another external thing that mixed your DNA with the kid's.
And, finally, there's the possibility that you misunderstood what the exam said. Many times these things are written like in a wartime code and one can reach conclusions that aren't there.
Better, check everything again and have it explained carefully. Good luck. ✌
@MariaMartinez-researcher I honestly think it's that second thing you mentioned. The bio father and I are not related at all, he doesn't have blonde hair nor does anyone in his immediate family. The mother is half black from her father and her mother's side, although her mother is what you would consider "clear skinned" in Caribbean culture. My daughter looks JUST like me - she's blonde, strikingly so, left handed and enjoys much of the same things I did at her age.
