My mind is a pendulum that swings between "humanity is so fucking dumb" and "Jesus I am such a dumbass and everyone else is smarter than me".
It's both. Humans are dumb and so are you and that's ok. There are some humans out there that have more knowledge than you but they do stupid things too. Forgive yourself, forgive others and laugh at the foolishness of it all.
What does Jesus have to do with that

One of my friends in high school said he couldn’t eat things with eggs in them because he was lactose intolerant. Then my entire friend group decided to argue with me when I told them that eggs are NOT, in fact, dairy because they come from chickens and not cows and contain no milk.
“But eggs are always in the dairy aisle at the grocery store”
Don't ever be the smartest in your friend group. You should probly consider upgrading

@@nekosaiyajin8529I understand the intent behind this adage but it's always been confusing to me at face value. If the most intelligent one leaves to make new friends, then someone else becomes the most intelligent in that previous group. Then they should leave. If they do, so on and so on.
And it's not like the second most intelligent upgrading to the most intelligent makes *their* intelligence worth shuffling somewhere else.

Once, on twitter, someone posted "Electricity is out! Tesla drivers can't charge. Victory for us gas pumpers" or something like that. So basically, someone replied with an explanation of how pumping gas requires electricity.
So technically you can if it is one of those old pumps that you have to physically pump yourself, but those are probably really old, unsafe and rare as heck.

Back when I was in school, one of our school library computers was "broken". Since I know a bit about computers, I asked whether I could have a look at the computer and maybe fix it. They told me to go ahead, but said it was unlikely to work again. So I had a look...
Long story short, the power plug wasn't plugged in all the way. They just labeled the computer as broken without having a look at the damn power plug.
I know what you mean. I used to work as a maintenance guy at a girl's high school, and the number of times I was called to deal with something that merely turned out to be not turned on or plugged in correctly left me thinking and you're supposed to be the teachers? (Side note, it was a selective school, the girls had to pass an entry test to get in there. The teachers were supposed to be smarter, but often left me questioning their sanity. And sobriety)
That’s laziness.

Once this stranger called me and I told him he had the wrong number. He proceeded to call me multiple times and when I blocked him, he called me with another number. When I answered it was him again. His reasoning? It MUST be the right number because he even called me with another phone and it's still the same number!
That's not how phone numbers work 💀
I had a guy keep calling me back insisting that he wasn't calling the wrong number and I was the wrong person answering it. The 4th time he rang, I just said "look we're really busy here at the morgue today...". There was a terrified squeak and he never rang back.
🤣🤣🤣💃🏿
I think it's some kind of bait. I had that happen and the person acted like I was the one who called HIM. I stopped answering and blocked the number.
I had the same thing happen to me! This lady called me asking for some guy and I told her that she has the wrong number. the lady called about once a week and i had to tell her to not call this number because "I'm not a Male" she asked "who are you? and why did you call me?" and i said "well I'm not the guy shes looking for and you called me." She then asked "do you know #### number or what it would be?" I clearly said "no, but can you stop calling this number" 🤦🏻♀️ she stopped calling after that but i hope she found that guy.
LOGIC
I’ll tell one on myself. Because it freaking haunts me.
I was 19 and working as a delivery driver for a pizza restaurant. Our system would show special instructions in the same place it had notes about addresses. Like “Please send four straws” would show up on the screen in the same place as “Gravel drive past church.” This was before GPS so people still gave directions really well and specified about how to find their house frequently because we delivered in a really rural area.
Well, one day I got an order that had “cut in squares” in the special instructions box on the screen. I thought that was weird, but when I delivered to them, I saw their house had a stone facade and did look like it was cut in squares.
So like a week later, we got another order that read “cut in squares” and I thought, oh, I know right where that house is. So I drove there without looking at the address and to my horror no one was home and all the lights were off. I drove back to the store and my manager was furious because the customer had called wanting their pizza. I explained no one was home. She asked if I was sure I was at the right house. I said, “Yeah, it’s the house that’s cut in squares.”
She blinked, tried to register what I had just said, then got furious.”
She had to then explain to my 19-year-old ass that people sometimes wanted their pizza cut in squares instead of triangles. That it had nothing to do with how the house looked and this order was an entirely different customer.
I’m almost 40 and I sometimes think of that first thing in the morning. I could cure cancer, publish a novel that redefines a genre, solve global poverty and it won’t matter. I will always be the dumbass who thought a house was cut in squares.
Poor you, but could have been me. This feeling of "ha, this time I know it" to "oh shit, it's meant completely different" 😪
To be fair, they should have been more specific
Honestly valid tho lol u were young and it was jus a miscommunication
You could write a novel that redefined a gender
Before the first novel that redefined a gender
That's so incredibly human. Nothing to do with intelligence, rather with a weird mental disposition at a specific time.
Yeah most of these are pretty bad, but the one with asking about “x” to the math teacher at least gives me hope that a parent cares about teaching their kids enough that they are willing to look like an idiot to another adult

@@imagine7964 Well, to give you some idea, here's one of my favorite memories:
I was working in a bicycle store that sold pretty much anything bicycle related. One of the items was a bike trailer that you could put two small children in. The label on it clearly said "for two children", it had two seats in it and two sets of buckles. Yet this couple looks at it, talks about it, then comes to me and the woman asks: "How many children will fit in?" I wasn't in the best of moods that day having already dealt with several idiot customers in a row, so I replied "Well madam, that depends on how tightly you pack them in, how hard you stomp on 'em." Her face went blank as she tried to process what she'd just heard while her husband quickly turned away to hide a grin. After a second or two she just said "Uh, okay, thank you." and then they left the store. I suppose they were okay as far as customers go because they weren't nasty or aggressive, but sheesh...

I work at a bridal shop. A bride called and asked about alterations for her dress. She said she hadn't tried it on in a year and had a baby since then, so she didn't know how it fits now. Then she kept asking me to tell her what alterations she would need for it and how much it would cost...through a phone call. Not even a video call, a regular phone call on a landline.
I kept telling her over and over that she would have to bring it in and try it on before we can figure out what needs to be done, and I can't price something like that over the phone. She got mad at me, treated me like I was stupid, and demanded to speak to my manager.
...If she doesn't even know how it fits her, how would I know, especially through a phone call where I can't see her or the dress?!?!

I'm a professor. A colleague had a student who realized he was in the wrong class FIVE weeks into the semester. The two classes covered completely different subjects. The saddest/funniest part is that the student had taken my colleague's class the previous year.
Some of my favorite moments when I was working at a Teahouse:
“Why does everything on the menu have Tea in it?”
“Because this is a TEAhouse sir”
And
“What does brown sugar taste like?”
Me flabbergasted that this is even a question: “Uh…brown sugar?”
The girl: “Ohhh does it taste like the pop tart?”
Bonus points to the woman who had this gem of a conversation with one of my coworkers:
“I want the chicken made naturally. I don’t want my kids eating chicken with bones in it.”
“But Ma’am chickens naturally have bones.”
“No they don’t. Make the chicken naturally”
“So leave the bones in?”
“No no bones! Make the chicken naturally!”
He then made the chicken “naturally” as this was her last instruction and when her kid bit into the chicken and she saw bone she asked to speak to a manager who then had to also try and correct her stupidity 😂😂 WHY WOULD WE INSERT RANDOM BONES INTO OUR MEAT? WHERE DOES SHE THINK WE GET THE BONES FROM???
I actually felt anger reading this. People like this shouldnt be allowed to have kids. Her kids are gonna grow up hearing her say dumb shit like this and are gonna catch the stupid
I can't even begin to understand the thought process on this one Does she think chickens with bones are not "organic" or "biological" or some shit? There are people who throw those words around thinking they now belong in a bhuddist temple and have achieved higher conscience without so little as to even knowing what they mean, but this one, this one is just ridiculous.
You can see living chickens walk around in places, they have bones, they're no invertebrates. Is she one of those people that doesn't understand meat doesn't grow in the supermarket shelf? What does "natural" even MEAN to her?
Kill me.
Shoes probably that person who ONLY has chicken breasts, tenders, or nuggets and came to the conclusion that it's "natural".

I work in the medical field and best examples of this are when people say "god will help me with my illness." Then they end up worse or end up dying because they refused care.
Edit 1 - 1/3/21 756 pm CST.
Thank you for all the discussion all of this has generated. Didn't intend this to be a stink bomb, or sound like religion-bashing. My point is ultimately simple: Whether or not you hold religious beliefs, use the best available treatment options. Stay out of books of folklore, homeopathy, Bach flower remedies, and most naturopathy. They will delay treatment and in so doing, can yield dire consequences as their sinister, unintended byproduct. I don't care what mama or nona or grandma did with poultices, mustard plasters or other iatrogenic homespun remedies. GO TO THE DAMNED DOCTOR. Also, learned helplessness is UNACCEPTABLE. Be an adult and know, track and be aware of medical history and all of your current meds, too.
Original:
I hate religious fanaticism. These are the same people who thank God if their loved one's illness/condition is cured (and say they're healed, in a nonscientific sense) and blame the doctors when their loved one dies (or say "It was God's will," which makes them either blasphemers or Calvinists, I suppose). 😬🚬
Then they/their family will blame the doctors and nurses because "they didn't do their work" and let their family member get worse/die. I'm a doctor and I see this happening all the time.

Here's a story my christian teacher told me.
There was a man on a roof, he was waiting out a flood. A man in a canoe came over and offered to save him.
"Go along, God will save me"
As the water continued to rise, a man in a motorboat came along to save him, and once again.
"Leave me, for God will save me"
Just as the water was about to reac the mans roof, a rescue team in a helicopter presented rescue.
"Leave me here, God will keep me safe."
The man drowned, and in the afterlife he asked God,
"Why didn't you save me?"
God replied
"I gave you a canoe, a boat, and a helicopter, what else did you want?"
To me, the best example really is partisan politics in the US. If you are critical about the entire system, you will have the hardest time getting through to anyone because everyone automatically assumes you are on whatever side they are against. Even if you just make a simple joke or reference to a specific politician, people who worship that politician will immediately assume you worship an opposing politician or ideology. The previous two presidents were both responsible for child casualties overseas, but if you only mention one guy's atrocities, people will automatically think you are giving the other guy a pass for his own atrocities.
This is a case here in Brazil too. Weirdly enough, we tend to elect presidents with a similar mindset of the USA president (Bill Clinton was Fernando Henrique, Donald Trump is Jair Bolsonaro) But the polarity of the parties did ramped up in the last presidential elections. We have a lot of parties, sure, but smaler parties tend to group with big ones, making 'coalitions' The biggest are the Workers's Party and the Brazilian's Social Democracy Party. Fancy names, no? But don't let these fanciful names blind ya, both are the same, just their methods of buttering up people are different

I love whenever someone has a visible injury (cast, brace, etc) and people go up to that person and ask them “did it hurt?”

Then the doctor goes "Sir/Miss, you are perfectly healthy, now here is your bill." and doesn't care to explain that it actually hurts when you break something, so they keep coming back for no reason in order to pay for their stupidity.

To be fair, they probably only vote if they're very old.
Which is likely why an honest examination of the typical voter could have led to the creation of such a convoluted system as the electoral college and representative voting. Having an opinion and ideology is perfectly fine in a free society. Choosing to take no effort to inform yourself of issues but loudly voicing your opinion is fine in a free society. (Likely why Twitter is still thriving today, oh and bots lol) BUT--CHOOSING to be a low-information voter doesn't make you opinion inherently honest. Actual mob-rule society would get upsetting quickly. I think your vote should count, I think your opinion is valid and will not mock you. I just also think that the final "battle" for who is chosen to such major roles in a society should be chosen by people that have more understanding than a person who watched two late night segments in the last 3 moths while scrolling through their phone both times, only half-digesting the commentary even.

17:10 in the Air Force we had a tire shop for aircraft tires. These things are dangerous to say the least. Well, one day at my base (a few years before I arrived there), some hotshot decided he didn't need no stinking cage because he was an expert on tires. Well, the military being the military, they decided to leave the almost cartoonish human-shaped dent in the hangar wall intact for all subsequent airmen to see and appreciate. It had a warning sign under it to explain, and I wish I'd been able to sneak a camera in there (totally verboten and this was the 1980s) and get a pic. It certainly made an impact (yes) on safety practices.
Man I wish you could have gotten a photo. Maybe you could ask to show up to the base and see if the markings of pvt wile e coyote are still there
That is why it is said that safety regulations tend to be written in blood.
There was a man I used to work with and by all means one of the smartest guys I had ever met, he could explain almost anything in our factory, the electrical, the computer controls, even the programming of them. He was the plant technician. When we got a new manager for our maintenance dept. We had a meeting so he could introduce himself to us all, and during his introduction he referred to his last supervisor as a “condescending bastard”. After the meeting, we all returned to our work and the technician came and was talking with me and my foreman. He was asking what I thought about the new manager and I thought he looked like some old drunkard. And the technician says, “and condescending bastard. Like there’s such a word!” And my foreman and I looked at each other, then told him, that yes it was a word basically meaning to talk down to or belittle someone. After the technician left, neither of us could believe that he didn’t know that condescending was a real word. Turns out, the guy was Einstein with technical and mechanical things, but was undereducated when it came to basic language skills and comprehension.
I can respect that.

Once I had lost my teddy bear and was searching the house for it, crying dramatically. My parents were laughing at me when I realised it was in my hand the whole time. Granted I was four, and still smarter than the people in this thread.
When I was in third Grade in vocabulary class, we were put into groups of three to answer problems together. One of the problems was to use the words “assault” and “witness” in the same sentence. I proposed the sentence “They witnessed the assault.” Both of my group members disagreed, saying it doesn’t make any sense. Then my third grade teacher came over and sided with them, saying my sentence didn’t make sense.
Another time, we were in groups making sentences again, and I happened to use the word “ruthless“. My teacher told me that “ruthless“ is not a word, trying to explain “what would that mean? Without Ruth?” Nobody in the classroom saw a problem with that. They just gave me odd looks.
Sigh. I used to be a classroom teacher and sadly I have seen some teachers who I question how they got through college. Many of them don't know the difference between "too" "two" and "to" or "you're" and "your" or "there" "they're" and "their." I had one who insisted that a family tree project was not about geneology because "It has nothing to do with rocks." I question how many teachers are just hired because they know someone.
Was "witness" valid though? Sure witnessed is just past tense so is understandably a smart play for a third-grader, but she could've explained that you had to use "witness" without variations (still a pretty dumb teacher, underestimating the intellect of children)

I'm a sound board director for a play at a highschool, basically I make sure everyone's mics and the music is at the appropriate volume. I think the people I'm working with (both the kids and adults) are the stupidest people I've ever met.
You'd be surprised how many times I've been yelled at and called an asshole because mics don't work without batteries. "Is Katie's mic on?" Who is Katie, you didn't write down who she's playing so I have no clue who she is, and no, her mic isn't on because she doesn't have a battery or a cord. Don't even get me started on the damn music, the people who chose the music didn't check to make sure it was high quality so of course it's going to sound like static, I can't do anything about that yet they expect a fix. I asked one of the other tech crew members I'm working with if she turned the master volume down and she looked at me like I had a third eye (she did by the way, she was messing with my presets because it sounded loud in the tech booth, it doesn't matter how it sounds in the tech booth what matters is how it sounds to the audience and they can't hear anything)

My family addopted one of my younger sisters when she was an infant; note: she was born in Korea. For like the first two years we kept getting asked stuff like "Is she bi-lingual? Does she cry in Korean?" (she wasn't even one at the time).

I was law enforcement for a military base years ago. Had someone come up on a weekend and drive into a lane that was very clearly marked closed and stayed there for a few seconds. I walked over to make sure they were alright and they said they didn't know the lane was closed (it gets better from here). After checking them out and seeing the car was brand new, I told them they needed to get it registered and told them to drive to the ID Center a few hundred yards behind them to get it taken care of. Normal person would go to merge to follow traffic flow patterns. This guy drives in on-coming traffic to get there (very thankful there was no traffic in those lanes) and everyone coming into base is watching with the same "Fut the wuck?" face. I get in my car and pull him over. I asked him what sequence of events transpired that was wrong and he was clueless as to what I meant. "You took driver's ed, right?"
"Yes."
"You passed I assume by your license."
"Yes."
"In what class did you get taught that driving in on-coming traffic and endangering everyone was alright?"
"I didn't know I couldn't do that."
"....How? You said you passed driver's ed. If there was a van filled with a family and little kids coming your way, what the hell do you think would have happened?"
"It would be a head-on collision."
I was beyond dumbstruck because he not only did not realize on-coming driving was very illegal but he was not understanding how deadly this could have been. He answered the question as if it were a test and made hand gestures for a visual demonstration like the hands were cars. This was over five years ago and I still am dumbstruck by it.
Are there no physical tests? Here you have to pass a theoretical test and a physical one, as in, you get in a car with a exam person and they check if you can drive good enough.
But this seems like a classic case of: know the answers to questions but don't think about what this means and how this applies to real life.
@@Esli26 at least where I live there are both of those, my physical driving test was quite basic and it was mostly how to do parallel parking, go in reverse and how to do turns.
I don’t know if that’s the case in all other states though, I imagine what’s in those tests depends.

In 2016, way back when I was studying computing in college - I was working doing tech support there on the side as a sort of apprenticeship program. Unpaid, but it was a way for us to pick up skills and for the college to have their tech fixed for nothing.
I receive a call from reception, and a woman is on the other end. She is freaking out, telling me her computer isn't turning on and that she needs it to work, so I respond with the generic tech-support questions. "You pressed the power button?" - "It's plugged in?". She answers in a way that suggested she was certain she made no mistakes, audibly frustrated that I'd even imply she didn't try those things.
Fast forward, I make my way down to the reception and she's rambling on about all the things she's tried, so I ask her to press the power button for me again. She leans over and turns on the monitor. I lean over and press the power button on the tower, and her PC powers up. She gave me this look like she realized she'd done something a wee bit silly, but told me she had 'tried that already' in true Karen form. I didn't bother arguing with it, because that's my job. I simply got on with my day.
This woman had worked there for a good few weeks and somehow never turned on her computer. She would come in, shake her mouse, or turn on the monitor which would take it out of sleep mode and get on with her day. Turns out a janitor turned it off whilst doing his rounds over the weekend.
TL:DR, receptionist thought her computer was broken. She just didn't know how to turn a computer on.
I had a supervisor (good guy) tell me that he wanted me to bring him a sample that was a perfect square, so I brought him one that was 3x3. He measured it and was visibly confused, said it wasn't a perfect square because it wasn't an even number. I told him I disagreed, but I'm not going to make my boss feel stupid so I just let him think whatever he wanted at the end. Then his mechanic friend who was sitting next to him said, "that is a perfect square you dumbass, it doesn't matter if it's an odd number" and he just said "oh" with an even more confused expression.
Technically “perfect square” in math refers to something that square roots into a whole number (ex:9 is a perfect square, 1 iis a perfect square, 0 is a perfect square, 3 is not)
My brother asked his wife and her mom what half of a half was. They both discussed and concluded that it's half. Because a half is a half and that is that. Well we tried to explain it was a quarter and tell them how math works. For like 5 minutes we tried to explain and convince them but they thought we were being idiots. It was funny at first but then kind of depressing.
Technically it can be both ngl. Its still half of something while being a quarter of something.

18:05 that reminded me of this story:
Teacher asked for a paper with answers from the book I believe, as homework. Me and my 2 friends helped eachother and we just copied the answers (since we all got to them together, and they were exact questions)
Next day the teacher was furious because there were people who actually just copied the work and sent it with the mate's name. All I thought was "wow, how can people be so dumb". 10 minutes later teacher calls me to correct it and she said she was very disappointed in me. I looked and there it was. It was actually me who sent the paper with my friend's name on it. I just burst out laughing on the spot when I saw it.

My boss was trying to to show off his big brain to me and asked “what’s the fastest thing” I said as far as we know it’s light. “And he said no it’s actually your eyes” I was confused and said well they can dart around fast but not light speed. He said “no, when you open your eyes u can instantly see as far as you can see” yes this guy thinks your eyes shoot out vision rays or something like eco location, he didn’t say that last bit but I was real struggling to rap my head around what he think
Interestingly enough that's what also greeks think
@@user-ib1dx4dh3n I guess it makes sense if you don’t know much about light
There is a grain of truth there. If you were to shine a bright enough light onto a distant enough surface and move the light source around quickly enough, the spot of light on the distant surface could appear to move faster than the speed of light.
It works because the spot of light on the surface isn’t a physical object and isn’t bound by physical limits. All the physical objects (the light source, the light traveling to the surface, the light bouncing back to your eyes) are obeying the limits, but the image created can exceed them.
@@sublight nope, it wont happen. The spot of light on the surface would actually go only as fast as the speed of light itself. The point where your theory/hypothesis is wrong is that you are assuming that the light from the source will instantaneously reach the surface situated very very far away, but actually light from a source, say a torch works like water coming out of a water hose, it is just that the water(or light coming out of that torch) is travelling at speed of light so in daily life it seems like the spot of that torch on far off buildings is moving instantly as soon as you move the torch. But it actually takes some time, very minuscule like in order of nanoseconds between the torch being moved and the spot starting to move. On very very far surface, it would be like you moved the torch, but the light from the torch will take time to travel to that surface, and the spot will start moving after some certain time, and that time will be large enough to be noticed by human eye. And it will indeed resemble a water coming out of a garden hose onto a wall as you move the hose around.
It was an idea from ancient greece... But yeah, your boss is dumb...
I will never forget Year 12 Geography class. This one girl put her hand up in the middle of a lesson about Antarctica and said, "But if there are no trees, how do you breathe there?"

Just a few days ago, my own brother.
He tried arguing that ice cubes dont dilute drinks when they melt, and "its stupid how nobody ever gets extra ice." He believes they just immediately evaporate after melting.
My family tried getting him to understand why he was wrong. The talk lasted 10 minutes, and the entire time the only thing they succeeded in doing was making him slowly angrier. Eventually he stormed out of the room calling them stupid.
Apparently, my mother tried to get him to understand by saying "why do you think people are concerned by the glaciers melting? It would cause the water level to rise."
He responded with "why do you think people arent believing that stuff? And even if it was true, the water would only rise a few feet, it would be fine"
So not only does he not understand basic 3rd grade science, he also is a climate change denier because of it.
I do not know wether to be angry, confused, or in a constant laughing fit.
Ive taken to calling his brand of thinking "non-diluterism".
Did you ever set a glass of just ice in front of him and have him watch it melt?

Tyre safety cage: In an earlier Universe, I worked at a small branch of a national tyre (hint) fitting service. We had the cage, but it was buried under other tyres, so it as never used: *Until that day!* I had fitted new tyre to a truck rim and taken it just outside the huge main doors to inflate it. I had got the tyre to about half its correct pressure (fortunately laying flat rather than upright) when I noticed that it was rising off the ground unusually. As I bent down to look, the whole lower sidewall blew out and hurled the rim/tyre combo high into the air! How high, I couldn't say, as I was at the back of the depot by the time it came back down again. A couple of minutes later, a cop squad car came rolling up with 2 of our finest and shiniest inside it wanting to know more about _the explosion_ they'd heard from inside their cop shop, around 20 metres from our fitting bays.

Or the way “autistic” is used now? Or “restarted” (to avoid ban) even though it was once an accepted medical term?
The worst part isn't people being wrong or thinking obviously wrong things, people make mistakes and nobody is going to always be right about everything. The real depression happens when you tell somebody they're wrong, tell them why they're wrong and what the correct thing is, even going as far as to provide proof of this, and they still reject the idea because the nonsense that they believe is so rooted into their brain that they refuse the idea entirely that they could be wrong.
My favorite is when you tell somebody they are wrong and tell them the correct thing, they refuse to believe it, then later at some point they encounter the irrefutable evidence of being wrong, then casually mention it like "did you know that you have to use soap to properly clean your hands? Better start doing that Anon" like no shit I told your dirty ass that already.

Point: you’re probably not as stupid as you think, and even if you are, you should take comfort in that you don’t have some disability or outright mental illness that would keep you from being able to do the introspection necessary to recognize your intellectual faults.
@@pokemagetech That was the most passive aggressively worded compliment I've ever seen, lmao! Thank you, this made my day
the "price tag" thing is so true..
Lots of people would look at an item for ages.. come to me, "How much?"... I tell them a ridiculously large number.
A few even said "But, but. it says £3 here".. I go, OH, must be on sale..
I had a job repairing aircraft most of my adult life. I was retired early, so had to find something else. Until then, I was always surrounded by smart people. Now I am in the real world. I was shocked at how stupid people really are!
I once worked at a park that has a bison enclosure. You can donate to help support the park and bison by "adopting" a bison (Not really adopting, just pretend adopting and you get some gifts for it.)
Well, one guy actually thought he adopted a real bison and came with his truck and trailer ready to take his new bison home. We had to explain to him that he would unfortunately not be leaving with a bison today...
OOF
That guy must've been crushed
I had a coworker ask me if Russia and England were different countries
WOW
That's like asking if America and Mexico are different countries.
@@garrettevans9193 much worse in fact as Mexico and America share a border and the same continent. Meanwhile Britain is an island more than 5 country's away from Russia...
Definitely the same bro
I once worked at a granite business. My coworker was so stupid, that when my boss told him to "use elbow grease" he went to look for the bottle in the truck
Someone I know on Facebook went on an angry tirade about how air conditioners are taking all the water out of the air and that's why global warming is happening...
I had to explain to a grown woman that water doesn't follow pokemon logic of "it counters fire therefore it makes things cooler", that water vapor is a greenhouse gas, so less of it would actually make things cooler, and how the water cycle works, such that water condensed from the air isn't deleted from the planet, it just evaporates and returns to the air.
Not to mention the danger of trying to encourage people not to use air conditioning in America during the summer, which is like telling Canadians not to use central heating.
She got mad at me for believing in science.
My story: I work retail. Had to explain to a guy for a solid 5 minutes that $3.67 was less than $4. He was so adamant that he had been charged "more" than the price was supposed to be, when infact his senior discount had taken an extra 10% and made it less. But it took both me and my manager explains multiple times and doing various things to try and prove to him he was wrong. Eventually something one of us said or pointed to on the receipt for through to him, and he said "oh, ok" and walked away. You could tell he was embarrassed, and he was nice enough when he came up originally, and only got adament when we started explaining and he didn't understand. I partly feel bad, and wonder what happened following that encounter bc he looked like he was contemplating some things as he walked away.
maybe the poor man was disnumeric and he didn' even know. My SO works retail at a gas station, she has to manage currency change and tax refund on top of the morons that usually stop to refuel. Let's start with the fact that it's the first gas station on the highway after the border. There is another one before the border whose prices are far lower, both for fuel and for the shop. The highway requires an annual pass that is sold (clearly indicated) at the gas station BEFORE the border AND AT the border customs, but not on the gas station she works at, since it's on the highway that requires said pass to be accessed. Obviously, tourist returning home to a nation on the other side of the country she works in ask her if they sell it. Man, you already crossed the country without the pass one time, and you come here on vacation every year. Every year. Ok, I'm talking about Germans, all right? Sometimes Netherlanders and definitely also Belgians that cross Switzerland in their quest of being ripped off in the worst sea locations in Italy, usually in old shitty caravns or roulottes. Someone invented the planes, for f sake, it's 2023, grab a low cost flight!
Always be willing to overcharge on request.
Highlighters... high lighters have made all the difference for me. I'll use it to draw attention to the relevant information as people seem blank out at all the numbers
Someone called me at work one day angrily explaining that he'd got a missed call from us and so what do we want. He didn't seem to like it when I said we hadn't made any calls that day so it couldn't have been us (small family business, I was only one in the office, and it was a quiet day as far as phone calls were concerned). So yeah, whatever the heck that was about.
Scammers can make caller ID show any number. It’s happened to me many times.
This happened to me all the time I was in the design studio I work at totally alone. It was clearly a scammer calling with our number because I definitely didn't make any calls to the person calling to ask what we/I wanted. Lol.
5:04 Yea, I had to deal with this for three years.
I used to worked at a movie theater that had us checking bags at the entrance to the theaters (short story is the owner didnt like people bringing in outside food). There are exactly 3 signs stating that we WILL CHECK BAGS, when you are walking in, one at the entarnce to the building, one at the concession stand, and one in front of me standing at the entrance to the theater. The amount of times I get people asking me "why do you need to check my bag?" after they literally passed 2 or 3 signs stating why we check bags. The inability or unwillingness to read would always bring about so many unnecessary interactions that has measures to prevent it, but peoples complete lack of awareness just trumps it.
0:59. I have similar story to that guy.
I was in a hostel for my college. I only bathed in one stall for many weeks. It had no option except to give cold water. It's other hot water handle wouldn't turn.
I once had a thought ot try other stalls. I did and it was nice until i saw a shit stain. That was the phantom pooper's stall. His poo stain got on my hand. Then i felt disgusted and changed both bathing and shitting and pissing stall. Cold waters for about 2-3 weeks. I then showered in another stall and then voilá. Less cold water in the morning and no phantom pooper signs. Then i started using that. After that, i started using some other stall and it was wonderful. Warm water in the morning and no phantom pooper signs. This whole time i stayed in that hostel, i never had a thought to see how the other stalls were.
I know that i am a dumb young man.
My mother has COPD. Her doctor put her on oxygen and a cpap machine. Her levels were good after 6 months so he brought up the idea of taking her off oxygen. I just stared at him for a min (I just couldn't believe it) and told him that maybe her O2 levels are good because shes on oxygen & taking her off will put her back where she was before the oxygen.
I used to take an iron supplement every day because I had low iron levels. After about 3 months I got a blood test that showed that my iron was back to normal. The doctor then said I only needed to take them twice a week. Neither the doctor nor my parents grasped the fact that I probably only had normal iron levels because I had been taking the supplements daily. Since then I've felt very tired, which can be caused by low iron levels.
I used to work in aircraft maintenance about U.S. Aircraft Carrier. i remember one night, we were on the flight deck inflating a tire. They mention this process in the vid. the high pressures involved with aircraft tires, especially on deployment, where they have to resist the forces involved with landing on the flight deck at 300 mph, and within about half a second, can make an inflated tire essentially a bomb. On par with a decent IED. While we were training we were shown images of a female hit in the small of her back by the split rim of a tire that detonated, blowing all the screws and firing the rim like a cannon ball. They found her under a hydraulic pressure generator, folded in half backwards. They repeatedly train everyone involved in aircraft maintenance this. "Always treat an aircraft tire like live ordinance, especially during airing operations." I was a second-class, a decent rank, so my job was to cover a passageway on to the flight deck and make sure people didnt cross the area we were airing the tire, either within te potential blast radius, or crossing the potential line of fire of the split rim design the tires used. A group of ordinancemen tried to cross the area during the operation. I repeatedly warned them not to enter. They even stopped to argue with me that this was the only way up. Then they crossed the area. We didn't chase them. if the tire went, their lives were in their hands and ours were in ours. ive never seen anything dumber. ORDINANCEMEN. TRAINED TWICE ANNUALLY. TREAT THE TIRE LIKE LIVE ORDINANCE. REPEATEDLY WARNED BY MYSELF AND OUR OTHER SECOND CLASS. REFUSING TO RESPECT BASICALLY A LOADED CANNON.
The "Deer will see the signs and think it's safe." really got me to thinking about what animals WILL do something like that. It's obviously going to be few and far between, but I'd wager that some animals will learn over time that there's some correlation with the presence of signs and a potential lesser rate of death.
Corvids would be my first bet, as they've been documented sharing information, are community animals, AND investigate deaths of their own species.
In similar, but different settings, I wouldn't put it past monkeys/apes, and orcas/dolphins to identify the presence of certain items in safer environments, thus understand that their absence could be associated with a higher level of danger.

SO VALIDATING.
I went to the US. Went shopping at a Walmart. Cashier noticed I had an accent. Asked if I spoke English. I said, yes, I'm from England. She said she didn't realise we spoke English there
Was it a small town in the south/midwest?
Correction ANY small town? If this was in or near a big population, I would be surprised.
Considering the fact that muslims are becoming the majority in england that does make some sense.
As Pooped By Anakin Skywalker cringe
As Pooped By Anakin Skywalker Still less than 10% of the population. And Islam is a religion, not a race so not limited as to race.
Yeah. I'm Australian and I've been asked multiple times online, sadly always by Americans, if we speak English in Australia. I've got to the point that I say "we speak the language I'm speaking now". If they ask what language that is, I wait a few seconds for their brain to kick in. If it doesn't kick in, I block them. There is no future for me in having any future conversation with them.
Omg I was literally talking to someone about this the other day. I by no means take myself to be any kind of genius(I'm very average), but the more I watch videos and the news, I realize how goddamn stupid the human population is and I seriously wonder how tf we got to where we are now as a species and how much farther along we could've advanced by now had we not been so frickin' stupid.
Billions of people, i bet one of them are geniuses
I know right? So many people so gullible to media and they just don't understand anything. I used to think I was kinda stupid but I might as well be Einstein to them. I am usually just surprised they made it that far. And most of it is common sense too. They might be Einstein with a book but their common sense is like a caveman.
The issue is that in the modern era, our advancements have made it less critical for an individual to understand or know things.
@@pokemagetech why are you putting the blame for the technology&evolution.
As if education is non-existence.
Don’t get me wrong but, the more advance are we,
The more better education is.

I worked at a burger joint, we had someone come in and ask, "do you sell burgers here?" Also had someone ask if we serve our drinks in cups.
I can understand why someone might ask about drinks in cups (vs. bottled drinks or drinks in "glasses"), but asking if a burger joint sells burgers?? Geez 😂😂
I used to work at a sushi restaurant, and a customer once asked me if we sold burgers (and pancakes).
For context, the subtitle of the restaurant is "Sushi and Bubble Tea". That's it. Nothing else.
"The pesticides are keeping the birds away from my houses and feeders!"
Me: okay that kinda makes sense
"She has 20 outdoor cats"
Me: uh ma'am-
This makes me think of a funny/sad story. I had this partially feral cat. We think the mother must have been feral, bc even the vet said it wasnt possible to keep her inside.
So, she would go outside as she pleased. Well, sadly, she got hit by a car. (Sad part over)
Some time passes, and my step dad and I were watching some birds in the trees by our house, which was unusual. It then dawned on us, we hadn't seen many birds, squirrels, etc. outside before bc of our little huntress. 🤣🤣🤣
And here they were, flying in formation
16:22 It’s amazing isn’t it. How they keep rebuilding New York after all those superhero documentaries.
We can thank all of Tony Stark’s money for that. Sad how he sacrificed himself for us all. A true American hero.
My very first job was at KFC when i was
16 growing up in florida. I was on the cash register with another of my coworkers on the register next to mine. We were both taking orders when her customer asked if the breast pieces were boneless or if they had ribs in them... she looked at him very confused and asked what that meant.. and they said
"ribs.... do the breast pieces have ribs in them" she said "i dont know what that is" and then she asked me what hes talking about. I thought maybe she just didnt hear him correctly or didnt understand what he said because he did have a thick accent. I said "oh, he asked if the chicken breasts have the ribs in them" then i told the customer that no, the breasts arent bonless but we do have chicken strips which were also white meat and are boneless if that was what hes looking for..... my coworker dead ass looked at me like i was speaking a different language she didnt know and was like.... "what???" Im like... you know, ribs... and pointed to my own ribs and shit just wasnt clicking...... at this point im thinking shes GOT to be just messing with me and i was waiting for her to start laughing or something, but nope. I then explained what ribs are and where they are and why they are in the breast pieces of chicken we sold. I then also proceeded to wonder if she was an alien for the next 15 years.
2:33 All I do when a person calls me and get mad because I’m not the person they were looking for is to say “You have the wrong person… Wait who?” “Oh no yea you have the right person.” “Wait no you have the wrong person.” “Oh no wait yea you have the right person.” I keep doing that until they hang up
And now we have innumerable examples of, "Someone on the other political side made a claim, so that means it cannot be true." or "This fact cannot be true, because it would be disadvantageous to my political party if it were true."

... I assume that you are familiar with guns?
Also: which side were you on, and did y’all consider rate of fire?
@@pokemagetech rate of fire on two semi automatic firearms, meaning each pull of the trigger produces one bullet?
Shouldn't the focus be on number of casualties, rather than on weapon power levels? It hardly matters to the corpse whether he was killed by a rifle, a baseball bat, or a nuclear bomb.
