This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed at home
This little piggy had roast beef
This little piggy had none
And this little piggy didn't believe the earth was fucking flat and we aren't living round a giant ice wall.


YouTube recommended this to me after I was watching a bunch of videos about space. Yet after watching, my brain swear at me and said it's going on vacant.

So what was the dumbest thing you have witnessed on the net. Anything that made your brain switch off.

I usually get things like Bengal Cat videos, man. They're so cuuuuute!

Anyway, I have to say the stupidity is too commonplace. Still, I'll hit a hot bullseye, if you like:

Saw a vid where some guy has a hangfire with a rifle. That is, he tries firing it and it didn't immediately go off. He then decides to look down the barrel. Just as he's turning it towards his face it goes off, and removes his cap, but not his face. He then sat down rather dazed looking.

(Also, even if it was perfectly safe, what would you see if you looked down the barrel...though I've heard of a case where someone decided to have a lit lighter at the chamber end to illuminate it...also not a great idea)

Too many to count. The Internet was created by smart people so that stupid people could have a platform.

(Yes, you may quote me on that. ;p)

Any of the "conspiracy" videos or sites or content ranks pretty high on the "stupid content" meter. Its about on par with the "intentional" viral video content which is 90% staged nut shots.

And if you think "well he doesn't mean ____ conspiracy, that one is true." You're wrong, that one is intentional nut shot stupid too.

Is there a dumber category of internet content? I've never looked for one, but someone probably has made a reaction podcast to a historical documentary. "I could not believe the writers sank the Titanic, what will they do next... say there weren't enough lifeboats?"

That might be more stupid... maybe.

My favorite /pol/ conspiracy theory: Martin Luther was an agent sent to destabilize the Catholic Church on orders from the leaders of the Ottoman Empire who were also Jewish financiers.

EDIT: truly hope that guy is trolling because after a quick check back in the thread it seems he is refusing to seek medical help because he is afraid of being scolded :/

I get "FAIL!!!1!" videos recommended to me all the time on Facebook. I don't follow the page but I guess watching one of them once means I get to see them all the time. I'm too lazy to block them though.

To me the epitome of stupid is going up to your roof to do anything. Jump into a pool, jump onto a trampoline, jump into a fucking broken ass shed for no good reason, whatever. The fact that you need to go up to your roof to do it is reason enough not to do it.

Preach, friend.
To a large degree, conspiracy theorists are all about showing how "skeptical" they are by buying into whatever they hear, no matter how absurd, as long as it's not the "official story."

The prizewinner for me will always be Time Cube [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Cube], which wins for being both brain-bendingly stupid and absolutely terribly formatted (with smatterings of thinly-veiled racism mixed in for flavor).

The gist: Since you can split the Earth into four quadrants and have a different "daytime" in each, the world is actually experiencing four days at once, and Greenwich Mean Time is a conspiracy to prevent people from understanding that the world and all life on it is somehow governed by a "4-16 cube principle". The challenge is actually distilling this whole argument from the hilariously-long ranting diatribes.

Anything by Donald Marshall. Among his more entertaining claims:

He has been called the Jesus of our generation
He has written the majority of hit songs for the past couple of decades.
The Queen is behind human cloning centres, where they create clones of you to torture for fun. Bernie Mac was onto this so they assassinated him.

And really that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I can't even wrap my head around that. 4 quadrants each with a different daytime? What?

Because somewhere is experiencing dawn, another place is experiencing midday, another is experiencing evening, and another, night.

Therefore, four separate days are occurring.

Because the earth is a square with sides, not a sphere with a gradient. :)

The Juicero deluxe juice press. Basically what happens when Silicon Valley engineers decide to make a kitchen appliance and forget to set a budget limit.


Oh yeah, the reason the thing needs a Wi-Fi connection is because it will run a full background check on the damn juice bag in case it's very slightly expired, or there's been a product recall, etc. It will of course reject any juice bags which don't pass muster with flying colors.

Oh I see. ...that is stupid. Never mind that the entire concept of a "day" is entirely man-made (human-made).

Oh do I have a weird one for you guys. I have just so happen to recently come across this drama.

http://archive.is/61Vn9
In Defense of Minor Attracted People or I Think it's Genocide.
People lived short brutish lives in our ancient history, 30,000 years ago, often dying around age 30. If girls didn't get started reproducing just as soon as they hit puberty, they might not have lived long enough to see that their own children made it to puberty themselves; people had to reproduce early, the species literately depended on it. Therefore, it's no coincidence that the age of puberty starts somewhere before half the age of 30. It also explains why there are so many people accused of being pedophiles, that's the way nature has made some of us, to be attracted to youth as a reproductive strategy. But rather than discuss why there seems to be so many ?pedophiles?, we chose to just throw them in jail. Truth is, it's the way nature made them through evolution.
We are still running on 200,000 year old software, and no stupid, recently created, feel good, socially constructed laws are going to change that. There was no supportive social services in those ancient times, and young girls who lost their families either died or grew up quick. The ones that were attracted to older men survived, and eventually reproduced. That is why you have girls who like older men, and men who like young girls. It's an adaptive strategy that worked in the past, simple as that. Men taking in young girls was natures answer to a social safety net.
It also explains why the model industry has such young models, they know men are attracted to youth, beauty and neoteny (look up the word). No one really thought much of it back in the day when Calvin Klein was using a 14 year old Brook Shields as a model. Only recently are people outraged so much over so little. I really think it is so the deep state can use it as a way to control our politicians. Makes you wonder.
Why persecute people for the way nature made them if they are not hurting anyone? No wonder the birth rate in western civilization is declining. Unfortunately, as always, religious prudes are standing in the way of sound reason but try to get your heads around the idea, it's a sound theory. It very well might have made the difference between the human race surviving, and not to acknowledge this possibility is just being unreasonable. The economy has changed but our biology hasn't. There is nothing wrong with being attracted to girls, and boys, around the age of puberty. It's just recently that young people can't find work, and people are stretching their child like behavior all the way into their 30's.
Throwing people in jail for having an interest in young girls, and boys, around the age of puberty is just predatory policing for money, just like with drugs. Lawyers, politicians, law enforcement types, persecuting people for non-violent crimes that shouldn't even be crimes in the first place, like drugs, which is really just to defend the racketeering of the medical/phama industry, and to prop up their socialist make-work jobs.
Being attracted to youth doesn't make one a monster, it's the way nature made us. What does make one a monster is destroying the lives of innocent men, and women, who did nothing more than follow their human nature. Not only does it destroy the lives of men when they are taken to prison but destroys the lives of the families, and pets, that depend on them. Think of all the poor animals that get hauled off to animal shelters,and get killed because their owners get put in prison for stupid, non-violent crimes, feeding the prison industry. If I was a cop, I would have trouble sleeping at night for thinking about all the lives I've destroyed.
Morality is just an objective concept, a social construct created by parochial minded religious people that are trying to make you submit to their antiquated group think. They often craft shaming language toward you, accusing you of having a ?high hope for a low heaven.? Evil and morality are points of view. Picture a cat playing with a mouse. To the cat, he is just playing with his food. To the mouse, the cat is the equivalent of evil it's self. This on the other hand, this is not evil; this is evolution adapting people to be attracted to youth as an adaptive strategy. It's the way we have evolved and is why there are so many supposed ?pedophiles" everyone is freaking out about.
This is the realist's perspective who lives by natural law and understands evolution - Life is a question, asked of the Universe, "Is this right?"...and answered by death if it isn't. We literally evolved, through evolution, to be attracted to youth and neoteny to survive! If the trait of being attracted to youth was not beneficial, it would not have been passed on!
So, every one, stop being uptight prudes, know that everyone is different, and just because you don't like something doesn't mean that it isn't or wasn't at some point a good thing. Older people taking in younger people, as companions, was natures answer to a social safety net; there was no welfare for them when their parents died at an early age. Can you imagine using the strategy that women do today, of waiting 'till age 30 to have kids, back when there was no medical system of any kind, with your teeth rotting out of your heads! You people are silly for not seeing the obvious truths of our own biological evolution.
Again, our biology hasn't changed, only the laws, and peoples brainwashed, reactive monkey, herd-like perspectives. Think for yourselves people! We are throwing people in jail for stupid non-violent crimes longer then people who attempt, or succeed, in murder because some stupid politicians were grandstanding for tougher laws that we didn't need. It doesn't even begin to make sense unless you consider it is being used to manipulate politicians through deep-state intimidation. Seems to me some arm twisting like that would explain a lot about the crazy decisions our politicians have made.
I would say the age of consent of 12, like in Mexico, is about right for a legal cut off. Nature gave us every thing we need to consent to sex and that is the drive to have sex. I was a horny little bastard at 12, and so was everyone of that age around me. If you deny this, you are not only being disingenuous with yourself but everyone around you as well. Perhaps your memory is faulty, and doesn't go back that far?
Do other animals wait for a certain age to have sex after they become able to sexually reproduce? No. It's just as stupid to put limits on it for us after one has reached puberty. People had jobs at those ages 100 years ago. My father would be 92 this year if he was still alive, and he told me that when he was 14 he earned a man's wage reading water meters. Everyone was younger in the past, on average, than they are now. In 1900, 18 percent of all American workers were under the age of 16. Child laborers often worked to help support their families. In colonial America, child labor was not a subject of controversy. It was an integral part of the agricultural and handcraft economy. Children not only worked on the family farm but were often hired out to other farmers. Boys customarily began their apprenticeship in a trade between ages ten and fourteen. Years ago each child you had made you richer, you could tend another acre of crops. Now, each child you have makes you poorer or if you are too poor to support them, burdens on the system.
The economy has changed but our biology hasn't. We are keeping young people in school, which is essentially just giving them busy work to keep them out of the real economy, and treating them like kids longer and longer because the economy can't support work for them, as it has all been outsourced due to globalism. The system is all screwed up, and people are too concerned about being called names rather than speak out about the real problems in western society.
I see a globalist system, which has shipped all our jobs over seas, and implemented silly laws restricting sex WELL beyond the ages of puberty. It looks more like a means of genocide to me. Those people in the middle east aren't exactly having a shrinking population like Europeans in the west are. Yes, the young people are still having sex because they have a high sex drive, as nature intended. Nothing is going to stop that but instead of society pushing them into safe, monogamous, long-term relationships, they are making it to dangerous for that. Yes, these elites know what they are doing to us, and have been doing for a long time now. I think it's genocide.
