Social media turmoil has become so intense that people are constantly connected, exposed, and sometimes even provoked. We all know that you can’t trust everything you read on the internet, but in some cases – you simply can’t let go. There goes a screenshot, and the moment of someone’s naiveness, ignorance or impulsiveness is saved forever.

It’s not a problem when someone doesn’t know the subject, the problem begins when a person is confident about the information that is simply nonsense. Here are 20 perfect examples where a statement screamed for a facepalm.

There is always a solution!

Thought this belonged here

Just look at the profile photo of the Flat Earth Society. The irony has it that the flat Earth has been pushed into a rounded shape. Anyway, someone should brush up on his/her Geography books, as soon as possible.

Emily has just won the case!

Sounds legit

Are these guys for real?! A woman can’t be mature enough for an abortion, but she should have a kid either way. Now, the discussion “pro-choice, or pro-life” has been a subject of many debates, but judges in Florida have clearly missed the point.

Good thing you didn’t forget Antarctica!

Hmm, I wonder how that could happen

Here is someone else who wasn’t paying much attention to Geography classes. Let’s just hope that this person isn’t the same one who claims that the Earth is not a planet. It would be too much.

Say that out loud, but slowly!

Because making functional things from something generally thrown out is bad now.

Check it out: they claim to be saving fish by killing fish. Seems like a new method. Maybe it works, in another dimension.

All that work for nothing!

A for effort

Mom is definitely a lot more enthusiastic about the carrot than her son is. The update is quite hilarious. The kid is lucky to have a mom with such a great sense of humor.

Sometimes it’s quite obvious!

Because why would you read the article before commenting??

Next time, read the article carefully before asking a question that’s been answered in the same article. Then again, we’re all guilty of scrolling over the text, without reading it all.

Don’t you mess up with my degree!

We have a narcissist who’s, hopefully, learned a valuable lesson. Narcissist or not, the guy seems to be disrespectful, and it’s good that someone’s just put him in the right place.

Have we met?! Oh yes, plenty of times.

PR vs PR

To be fair, a lot of us aren’t good at remembering names and/or faces, but come on. This is your colleague, you work together, you see her every day. Maybe a team building would help?!

Don’t judge a book by the lack of a book!

Book people reminiscing words from not-so-book people

So, here’s a nosy guy on the subway, going around, telling people what to do. Taking of social skills, and not having them.

But it seemed so real! Wait, Hamlet who?

I don’t even know what to say…
byu/FavoriteMiddleChild indontyouknowwhoiam

Yes, reality and fiction can intertwine in so many ways, and you can almost feel like something happened, although it didn’t. Not only that, but fictional people deserve to have their names changed. Imagine if Lewis Hamilton, for example, was in Hamlet’s place in the 17th century. Who knows, maybe Denmark would be well-known for its Formula drivers.

At least he knows about the tweet!

You definitely stole your jokes
byu/ItalianGreyhounds indontyouknowwhoiam

We think that the stand-up comedian should work a little bit more on his social media presence. That way, people would connect his face, and his tweets a lot easier. That might solve a thing or two.

More Geography enthusiasts!

Who knew it would be that hard to name a country without the letter “A” in its name? Do Egypt, Sweden, Turkey, Greece, or maybe Seychelles, ring a bell?

So much patriotism!

Make sure to use the correct country’s ship
byu/dsj79 infacepalm

The guy is probably proud of his country, we’re not questioning that, it’s just that he needs to be a bit more informed. We bet that the U.S. naval fortes certainly go further than the example that doesn’t even belong there.

He was looking for it!

This case reminded us of the joke when a guy walked into the doctor’s office, wrapped up in duct tape. The doctor said that he can clearly see the guy’s nuts. It’s funnier when it’s said out loud. Unfortunately, this guy wasn’t joking. Not only did he come up with something as wrong as robbery, but he also had the courage to show himself.

Who’s detaining who?

Sir I believe you have a case of mistaken identities

At first, you might not see something wrong with this photo. Look closely, the cop is strangling his colleague, not the guy on the bottom. And look at that guy’s face, with two policemen on top of him, trying to work out the arrest.

What is a parent supposed to do?

Hmm…..

The photo is quite traumatizing, that camel is swallowing the boy’s head. Good thing he has someone to take a photograph of the event he’ll enjoy remembering.

We’re a bit worried about that “culo” part

Actual tweet from my local library this morning
byu/headgate19 infacepalm

Spanish is, indeed, a very beautiful language. It’s just that this person doesn’t know it. We guarantee that “yo quiero comer culo” is not a way to say to someone that you love him. “Comer” translates to “eat”, and we won’t translate the rest. Just take our word on this one and avoid “comer” and “culo” in the same sentence.

A lady is proud of her education!

The top minds at /r/pussypassdenied miss the point once again and the wit of a woman goes over their collective heads. I wonder why they’re all single and hate women…

Sometimes, people are just asking a very simple question. There is no nothing between the lines, you should simply answer it. Good thing you’re a doctor, though.

He’s definitely entitled to an opinion!

Telling a marine to ask a marine

What else are you supposed to do when someone questions your knowledge about your profession?! You repeat to them, once again, that you know a thing or two about something you’ve been involved in your whole life.

spooky choppa didn’t get the memo about protecting his privacy on the internet!

Your stupidity has reached the next level

Don’t even get us started on everything that’s wrong with posting a photo of your debit card on social media. Keep yourself and your money safe, please!
