On the first day of school, one of my teacher's said that there are no stupid questions. Naturally, I decided to challenge that with this beauty:
What's the opposite of cheese?
eseehc is the opposite of cheese
Milk?
Vegan cheese?

"When are ever gonna use this?"
This was in English class.
i mean it depends on what they were referring to if it was the whole class then yeah dumb question
He means all of the stupid analysis of literature and stuff. Personally I thought English was the most useless subject.
Everywhere
Yauster 124 English is the most important subject for job applications, college, and actual office work if you don’t have good grammar you’ll go nowhere.
@@mended8774 I learnt basic grammar when I was 10. Don't know where you live but here in the UK we have English language and English literature. English literature was load of bollocks and we literally just wrote multiple bullshit essays about Shakespeare, Dickens etc. Language was slightly more useful but not that useful.

No it has to weigh the same as a duck too.
some kid in my high school bio class asked during a lecture about pollination from flower to flower asked, "what if one flower doesnt like the other flower." this was like 9th grade
Well (s)he won't have problems understanding consent.
Well...it can have it's OWN flower, then. Pff. Who needs those other flowers?
Literally today the teacher had to explain to a girl in my World Geography class that Islam is not a place and is, in fact, a religion. It took several minutes for her to get it. We're in 10th grade. At least she knows now.
the amount of people who are convinced that Islam is a place is concerning, what happened to basic religious studies at school lool >

well, I mean Nepolan tried to make that true.
I once had another Kid who sat next to me in 8th grade ask what Solid Water was called. Knowing him it wasn't a joke.
Hey, I heard someone ask what you get when you heat a python up to its melting point.
The teacher answered with liquid snake. The student then said "yeah, but what's that called?"
There was a girl in my class (1st year of psychology, i think that this was her second time taking the course) that straight up asked "was Hitler a nazi?"
Technically, yes.
In High School orientation, we were getting a showing of the different language classes: Spanish, Italian, and French. For Italian, the teacher (I swear to God this was her name) Mrs. Delfino, was giving a lecture and asked if there were any questions. Me, knowing Italia from Super Mario Sunshine asks the brilliant question; “Yes, so, I understand your name is Mrs. Delfino. Since you teach Italian, does your name translate into Mrs. Dolphin? Everyone laughed, I forget her answer. Funny enough, everyone forgot I said it a week later.
I'm Italian and I can confirm it, delfino means dolphin XD
That african American one would've made me laugh in disbelief
It blows my mind tbh
@John Smith you can tell they were joking and or trolling.
@John Smith elon musk is the most successful african American alive... huh, how bout that
@@thatnerdoverthere2248 I guess, but he's more African Canadian.
I may have an explanation for that one. Since a lot of black history in America up till highschool is centered around racism, and also because in the 90s the term black began to fall out of favour in public discourse, the term black has acquired a strong racist undertone for many ppl that only heard African American when referring to black ppl. It doesn't enter into their mind that most terms have a proper use in the correct context, even slurs, though black isn't a slur many ppl still treat it as such.

“Is breast milk 1% or 2%?”
I literally LOL-ed! 😂😂😂 I would have made some smartass remark like, “One breast makes 1% milk and the other makes 2%.”
Not the 1%/2% part. But now I have to ask Google! (I’ll be back if she knows)
3-5% fat. MUCH more than cows milk.
A kid at my school who was out on a trip, didn't know where milk came from. He didn't believe the teacher that told him milk came from cows. After awhile he seemed to accept it. Turned and asked which animal makes coke then? 100% TRUE STORY
Humans.
My teacher had just got done explaining how computers were going to read and grade our state test essays.
"Soooo. If I write control alt delete will it shut down the computer grading it?" She told me to go stand in the hall lol
I once had a classmate who messed with the grading system's code. He made it act like it received those three inputs whenever it graded something as either 100% or 0%. Many teachers graded on a curve.

Not a teacher, but when I was in high school I remember being in math class with this girl who would bully me quite a lot. At some point, we were studying trigonomatry and Big Ben was being used as an example. The girl asked: "Who's Big Ben?" This was the same girl who also asked in English class: "What's an Oscar Wilde?"
I'll never forget the triumph I felt knowing that the girl who bullied me was actually a fucking idiot.
Not gonna lie, the zombie apocalypse school project sounds like fun.
"and he huffed and we puffed and passed it around" 🌿🚬😂
Today in science someone said graphite was vegan
i mean, they arent wrong...
I mean technically...... yes?
Well so's lead, that doesn't mean you should get it anywhere near your mouth...actually scratch that: Vegans. Eat as much graphite as you want!
i mean they're not wrong
So is plastic.
Not a teacher, but was asked "what's pneumonia?" by my friend (who is a med student), and I had to explain to him what it is

In my World geography class in grade 8, the teacher almost lost it after explaining to a girl for a hour and a half that Europe is a continent, not a country. At the end of class, I still wasn’t convinced that she thought Europe wasn’t a country.
Quote from some girls in my class in year 11 (so 16/17 years old), "is it Asia or Japan that is the capital of China".

Huffed and he puffed... and he passed it around. That’s the best thing I’ve ever heard
No joke, with that sterile one I didn’t realize what made the question so stupid until right after the teacher said “let’s think about this”
Sterility is hereditary. If your parents didn't have children, then you probably won't either.
Manny Davis You’re not wrong.
had a girl in my class (7th grade) who asked: What's on the other side of the world map?
🤦♂️
The best thing to do in that situation is probably to take a paper map and just bend it into a cylander. That would probably help make the most sense.
Comp. Sci. student here. I'm always asked:
1) How to do [X] in MS Office
2) Is there an app in the [PHONE APP PLACE] to hack wifi?
3) Can you hack the FB of [PERSON]
4) Can you fix my phone? It fell and the screen is broken.
That's bloody hilarious
Teacher: there are no stupid questions

I ended up not going to that class and choosing german instead.
Not a teacher, but today in class this girl who sits across from me is insisting that she is too smart for this class (earlier that period the teacher had told her she needed to retake a test because of how bad a score she had, and she only got 1 more question right on the re-test.) She then tells everyone else at the table that she never checks her grades because "that's the teachers job" and that she never takes her agenda home (no wonder her homework is never done) then, to prove myself right, because I'm stubborn, I ask her "how do you spell the too as in me too?" Her response was "t-o" so I told her "no it's t-o-o" to which she says "no it's not" this went back and forth for about a minute untill class ended. I'm still frustrated 😑.
Not in school but at a job, my coworker asked me if watermelons grow on trees. Yeah man just don’t sit under those trees they’ll drop and you’ll get knocked tf out or the coworker who came in running into the office screaming about a baby cobra by the creek like yeah man a baby cobra can defiantly live in gunnison Colorado the 3rd coldest county in the state it was a damn garden snake

Once I accidentally asked what Caucasian means.
I’m Caucasian.
But apparently through all fifteen years of my life, I had never come across or learned about that word.
People would not let it go, the whole rest of the year. It was humiliating XD
Also, we aren't African Americans, we are black Americans. 🙄
EDIT: I also had to have a discussion with my Great Aunt-in-Law, Great Uncle, and Grandmother about how man holes Women have, as nobody knew the correct amount and the aforementioned adults all had at least one child. Scary.
Your great aunt-in-law and grandma both have inserted a tampon before right? How tf did they think that they peed?
Every time this topic comes up I think of that Orange is the New Black episode “a whole other hole” where the trans woman who designed and paid for her genitalia taught all the cis women about their bodies
The Flowering Inferno tampons are usually removed before peeing bc if you leave it in you soak the string in piss
My uncle has given correcting people that he’s not “African-American.” He was born and raised in Barbados (Caribbean) and came to America at 18 for college. He’s now a naturalized U.S Citizen And has 3 kids with my aunt.
I'm cool with being African American.
"Can i get a division chart"
-A kid in my class, who was not serius but he got it
When I attended agricultural college, a teacher asked one of the boys, "What is used to kill weeds?"
"Fertilizer," he replied.
"To 'kill' the weeds," she repeated slowly.
"Fertilizer," he insisted.
Again she asked the question, and again he gave the same reply (the rest of us laughing merrily by that time).
"Well, I suppose after that much fertilizer the weeds are bound to die," sighed the teacher resignedly.
haha
"I would've pointed at the moon". Ah yes, the night beach.
There was that one girl in my class. She said so much stupid things... when I think back now, she actually only said stupid things. Like "bosnia is in asia" (over here thats like the midwest thing of the video) and plenty more of those things.
One day she tried to convince the class that you could grab grains of glowing hot sand if your cornea was thick enough. Your hands would be lit on fire and black in seconds and I argued with her for half an hour before I gave up. She claimed to have done it before which is stupidly impossible. The teacher sat at the front of the class, stunned for the 30 minutes.
Wow I haven't laughed this hard in a while, thanks
"It's the hood version."
That took me out! Lmao
I have it burned it to my brain that Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press
Okay. Not a teacher. But I was in yearbook. Editor in chief of the class. Basically I was the leader over the student.
We were talking about ways to market the yearbook. We wanted to spur ideas. Everything’s good. No bad ideas right.
Kid raises his hand. “What if we...put stickers on bananas. Because the yearbook colour is yellow.... and bananas are yellow right? And we give out those bananas...”
I had several reasons why I didn’t work out.
I feel like... I would be on this list... I’ve always been philosophical so I would have all the questions. However in science when I was 13 I asked “what is the difference between race and species?” I believe my teachers answer was “different races can have offspring but different species can’t.”
I can’t say I’ve ever really understood social constructs.
Tell that to ligers and mules
@@CaTastrophy427 But the teacher is right. OTOH, mate 2 ligers does not get you a tiger OR a liger.

Pfft. More like "The wheel of time turns and ages come and go, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the age that gave it birth returns again."
Sort of what it was like just trying to read that damn saga. I made it up to book 12 I think, still only seemed like it half way through. Was meaning to catch up on it sometime to find out the ending, but after Jordan died I really couldn't be bothered.
@@mannydavis7708 it's completely worth it. Each of the books Sanderson helped finish were amazing, I don't mean to talk down on Robert Jordan because he created an incredible universe, but Sanderson sets the pacing incredibly well. It's nearly impossible to get to a boring part, especially in the last two
@@tylerleuschen8132 Thanks, perhaps I should seek those two out. Sort of just "skip to the end." It has been a bit of a niggle that I invested so much time in those books to never find out what happened.
@@mannydavis7708 I believe when you hit the part where the man with gold hair saves their apple farm, you're in for a ride. Not sure when Sanderson started writing them so make sure it wasn't the 2nd to last

Had a teacher in highschool once who stated in class that there are no stupid questions. My smart-assed, sarcastic classmates took it as a challenge. Teachers, you NEVER GIVE A BLANK CHECK WITH A STATEMENT LIKE THAT! That's just asking for it...
Kid freaked out and started crying in math once. We were working on something and he raises his hand, "Why?"
Teacher- "Why what?"
Kid- "Why do you do it this way?"
Teacher-It's the way you solve it. (it was algebra or something)
Kid- But why THIS way?
Teacher- It's the only way to get the answer.
Kid- BUT WHY?!
Teacher- I don't know! It just works out!
This is the same kid who didn't understand the 2 in 1/ 3 in 1. His words 'How can there be more than one in one?' Could not understand you could have shampoo and conditioner and body wash in one
The one about teaching students explicit instructions applies to a lot of other situations.
There have been probably thousands of incidents of, surprisingly, grown ups, asking for help with something on a computer. "It says to click on Next. What do I do?" or "It says type in your first name. Do I type in my first name?"
Not a teacher, but one of my classmates asked:"Wait! Wasn't the Wall built by Hitler?"
The whole class died inside after having 2 yrs of history class repeating the end of WW2 over and over again. At this point she should have known that the allied forces split Germany and built the wall and that Hitler was dead by a few years already. And even if he had hypothetically been alive he would have been a sickly, old man imprisoned somewhere without any power.

"Can you make the fan ovulate?"
I'm pretty sure that kid was trying to say "oscillate".
Back when I was in high school, I had to stay after school in one of my classes to get this test done that I missed... and then the dude (who was in my class, we were in 10th grade I think? So we were 15-16) and he was having our teacher help him with stuff. The teacher was helping him with something to do with the French Revolution or something? (It was a history class) and he was strongly hinting to the guy that it was a guillotine that chopped off peoples heads... then the guy asked the teacher, “So, like, scissors?” 🤣🤣🤣 the teachers response was something like, “I think the most you could do is cut someone’s neck open with scissors...”
There are no stupid questions only stupid people :D
I was in a honours HS science doing a biology semester (we were 15/16) and I distinctly remember my friend raising his hand and asking if Charles Darwin was still alive... he quickly realised what he asked and went red as everyone laughed and my teacher said something like 'oh thats definitely going in the book of questions'

If you want to see some stupid questions, go check out the autocomplete in a Google search. I've seen such examples as "Are farts odorless?", "Are babies real?", "Can I legally marry pizza?" and "Can Santa destroy the Sun?"
I guess thinking that only a specific type of balloon could float isn't that ridiculous when you realize they're usually referred to as "helium balloons". I suppose it does kind of make it sound like it's the balloon itself if you haven't learned otherwise. It never occured to me that it could sound like that.
16:36 isn't actually that stupid. Everyone speaking at least 2 languages fluently and regularly has been there, at least the ones I know.
I'm fluent in German and English and depending on my day I dream and think in the more present language.
People also tend to have different personalities for each language they speak.
So when you’re German you get technical and want to invade France?
