Hilariously Incorrect Statements That Were Shared Online But Not As Jokes That May Affirm Why You Don't Have Faith In Humanity Anymore

The internet is a place where everyone can relatively share their opinions freely without anyone stopping them from doing so. For the most part, it's great that people have the opportunity to express themselves freely; even if we don't agree with what they're saying, they should at least have the liberty to speak their minds.

This kind of freedom obviously leads to a limitless stream of ignorant content submitted by people who aren't very well educated but are confident enough to assert things that aren't always true. They have absolutely no idea how misguided they are because, according to them, they're some of the smartest people on the planet.

Stumbling upon content that is inaccurate or plainly ignorant is something that happens to all of us at least a few times a day. You just cannot avoid it; it's constantly spreading like a virus, and there's a steady supply of it on a daily basis.

The individuals in the posts below may not be the brightest, but their confidence is so high that they believe they can fabricate statements, claim they are facts, and simply get away with it. They obviously got called out by anyone with common sense, and they earned a VIP spot on the list below.

When you consider the fact that people who post these inaccurate statements online also have access to infinite knowledge with the click of a button, yet they refuse to make the slightest effort to double-check their facts, it’s astonishing. You can have the most powerful tool in the world in the palm of your hands, but if you're not interested in using it to its true potential, it's a huge waste.

Thankfully, these individuals are a minority, and they have provided us with some good laughs through their confident ignorance. It's a win-win situation.
