30 Of The Most Embarrassing And Cringeworthy Things People Have Said Online Exposing Their Ignorance

Society devotes a significant amount of effort to researching and evaluating the most important events in humanity's history. After all, many strive to gain a better understanding of the past as well as the world.

Failure, on the other hand, is part of the learning process. However, some people keep their factual gaffes under wraps, while others are more outspoken about their misguided and typically incorrect ideas, causing facepalm moments of surprise as they express them.

No matter whether they believe the Berlin Wall was functional or that studying World War II is detrimental to one's mental well-being, some individuals have a difficult time understanding history. Take, for example, the Reddit forum r/FacePalm, which has over 6.1 million members and bills itself as "a collection of incomprehensible ignorance."

With this, moderators request that Redditors submit screenshots of people's ignorance for the benefit of the entire community. This story compiles a list of the most hilarious examples from the community, showcasing the foolish side of humanity.
