Dumbest Things People Have Posted On Twitter
Twitter is a social media platform that is known for its character limit on status updates. When the site first launched the limit was a mere 140 characters, in recent years it has been doubled to 280. This social media platform also encourages spur of the moment, random updates from their users. The combination of Twitter’s limitations and constant updates results in people typing up their every thought and sending it out to the world. As you can imagine, many of these random thoughts end up being incredibly stupid. Before the age of social media these kinds of “brain farts” would remain unspoken, but now they are broadcast to the world.
Join us and revel in the stupidity of humankind in this list of the absolute dumbest things people have said on Twitter.
67. What Month is the 13th Month?
Looks like this person has no idea how months and dates are written out. At least they were correct about the year 2013, even though I’m pretty sure that was just some dumb luck on their part. I wonder what they think the 13th month might be, Decemuary maybe?
I bet that anyone who retweeted or replied to this one was LMAOing all over the place. It’s hard to believe that someone could be this dumb. Maybe it was just a temporary moment of stupidity, or maybe this person really is just that dense, either way, this Tweet is definitely a stupid one.
66. How Many Months Are in a Year?
Where to even begin with this one. The last time there was a date that lined up the way this user is describing was 12/12/12, there hasn’t been another one since? And I assume your readers know why; because there are only 12 months! I don’t know what kind of calendar this person is using but it might have a number of duplicate months.
I wonder if anyone will remind them of this tweet when December rolls around. Maybe a friend will ask them in a smarmy voice, “Hey, so when is 17/17/17 going to happen?”. Though I suppose by then this dumb Tweet would have been long forgotten, no doubt there will have been many new ones to replace it!
65. Trying to Find a Hole in Someone’s Argument
There are always useless little facts floating around on the internet. One such example is that the number four is spelled with the same number of letters as the number it represents and is the only number in English that works that way. The Twitter user replying to the above Tweet tried to find a hole in this fact and did not succeed.
They might have been trying their best but they are very much incorrect. To, too, and two are all different words, something he might not actually be aware of. We’re all face-palming at this failed attempt to outsmart someone else, maybe they will think a little longer next time before offering a rebuttal.
64. We Don’t Understand Fashion Choices These Days Either
Fashion on red carpets has certainly brought us a lot of unusual and weird looks, but we would never expect to see a celebrity toting a laptop charger around. Apparently, this person believed that this could be a possibility and didn’t take a moment to notice that Kim Kardashian is actually holding a purse.
You know, those things that women usually carry around at events? We have yet to see anyone carrying a laptop charger around while wearing an evening gown to a special event. Maybe if that were a common occurrence then this tweet wouldn’t be so dumb!
63. That’s Not How the Black Plague Disappeared
Some people are just totally oblivious to history, and it shows. Calder Robinson over here seems to want to use the Black Plague to make a point about vaccines, but unfortunately, his complete lack of knowledge about this plague completely defeats his point.
As Dana Schwartz points out, the Black Plague killed an entire third of the continent of Europe, precisely because they didn’t have a vaccine or any real way to treat it. And when disease ravages a population and everyone who gets it dies, well, the disease is going to die out with them eventually!
62. Not Even Celebrities are Immune from Twitter Stupidity
We spent a good amount of time trying to figure out what exactly Tyra Banks is talking about in this tweet. What on Earth could a pizza top possibly be?? Is it bread-less pizza? Or maybe it’s pizza without any crust? If anyone has figured out the answer please get in touch!
Of course, if you’re as rich as Tyra Banks you could probably hire a personal chef and request them to serve you “pizza tops”, then let them figure out what it is you mean! And side note; where can we go to get the muffin tops?
61. No Understanding of Biology or Math
Some people are just not very good at math. The most basic equations elude them, and they can’t tell their plus signs from their multiplication signs. In that same vein, some people aren’t very good at biology either! It would seem that both of these people are featured in this screenshot, and it’s such a perfect mess of not understanding anything.
It’s nice of the second user to reply with a friendly answer to that person’s question, but they couldn’t be farther from reality. Aside from the fact that 9 + 9 = 18, giving birth to twins doesn’t take any more time than giving birth to a single child! I hope someone on Twitter can come along and set them both straight.
60. Friday the 13th, But on a Tuesday
Talia has clearly had a major brain fart moment over here. If only she had not written her thoughts out on Twitter, then maybe she would have been able to save some space. But alas, it’s far too late for that. Since some time has passed since she Tweeted this out, maybe people in her life have forgotten about it?
Of course, the obvious “derp” moment here is that FRIDAY and TUESDAY are two completely different days of the week. So, no, you did not experience a true Friday the 13th like you thought you did, Talia.
59. Our Favorite Christmas Tune
There are dozens and dozens of Christmas songs to fill your December with holiday cheer. Some of the most popular are Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and White Christmas, however, there’s one Spanish tune that will have the entire room singing along. Despite this melody’s popularity, it would appear that some people still don’t know its proper title.
The song is called Feliz Navidad, which literally translates to Merry Christmas. A typo would be understandable, but this person’s attempt at guessing the song’s name was absolutely disastrous. We don’t think they could’ve been more off base if they tried. Hopefully, someone will be able to give them the correct title so they can jam out!
58. Why the Spelling of Words is Very Important!
This person was only two letters off in their spelling of “cologne”, but those two letters make a huge difference in the meaning of this sentence. What they’re saying now is that somehow they managed to spray themselves with the innards of their ex-boyfriend, which is a LOT less romantic than wearing his body spray!
To be fair, the way “cologne” sounds does make it seem like it’s spelled “colon”. One of the confusing things about the English language is that words aren’t always spelled the way they sound, which can result in hilarious mistakes like this tweet!
57. Rice and Beans
A lot of the time people go online to complain, argue, or generally spread negativity. It’s pretty refreshing to see someone share something that’s meant to spread some good energy. Despite their best intentions they ended up getting the message a bit confused. Thankfully there was a clever Twitter user to swoop in and save the day.
Instead of pointing out this person’s stupidity, they decided to turn it into a clever joke. Then again, perhaps that joke was to highlight how dumb the original Tweet was! Either way, we found it to be pretty entertaining. At the end of the day, we’re all food products, delicious, nutritious, and need to be boiled in a pot.
56. Is Your Calculator Broken?
We aren’t sure what kind of math this person did to come to the conclusion that the year 3000 is only 81 years away, but we’re pretty sure that their calculations are off. Someone who is close to this person should buy them a new calculator for their birthday, they seriously need one!
The year 3000 isn’t going to happen for over 900 years, which makes sense since 3000 would be an entirely new millennium! In 81 years we’ll be in the century 2100, in case anyone wanted a quick math lesson!
55. Are All You Missourians Okay Over There?
Out of all the fifty United States, apparently, Missouri is the one who likes the company the most! Kidding, kidding. Clearly, this Twitter user had meant to quote the famous saying, “misery loves company”, but they got a little bit confused with the spelling.
You do have to wonder why the name of the state “Missouri” sounds so similar to the word “Misery”. Are people there actually miserable, or is it just some kind of coincidence? Maybe someone wants to check on the people living in the state of Missouri to make sure they’re okay. Maybe they COULD use some company!
54. Better Run that Through a Grammar Checker
This Twitter user is clearly trying to put a spin on the Pussycat Girls song lyric, “don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?”. Unfortunately, she failed in a very important place. If she is professing her knowledge of grammatical correctness, it might be a good idea for her to make sure her grammar isn’t flawed.
Of course, the mistake she made here was mixing up “you’re” and “your”. One of the gravest grammatical errors a person can make. Better delete this tweet and try again, maybe run it through a grammar correcting software first!
53. Can This User Write an Animal Encyclopedia Please?
Now, this has got to be one of the most interesting descriptions for an animal we have ever heard. Of course, the correct spelling for the bird they are referring to is “penguin”, but I just can’t get over the way he’s described them! I want to hear this user attempt to explain the characteristics of other animals.
Would they describe a peacock as “the fashion bird that cannot fly”? Or maybe a seagull would be “the annoying bird that steals sandwiches at the beach”? Let’s have an animal encyclopedia edited by this dude!
52. Everybody Loves a Good Palindrome
Perhaps the state of Georgia will see this tweet and consider changing the name of their capital to “Atnalta”? It’s always cool when you notice a palindrome (a word that’s spelled the same way backward and forward), but this person seemed to have gotten so excited by their discovery that they didn’t realize how wrong they were.
Unfortunately for them (but fortunately for us) they sent out their epiphany before realizing their embarrassing mistake. We think they should’ve taken a moment to write “Atlanta” down on a piece of paper first, maybe then they’d notice how glaring their mistake was.
51. Can I Give You a Call on the Phone You Don’t Have?
This is technically a stupid moment that happened off of Twitter, but it’s just too funny for us not to share. It’s almost in the same league as looking for something that you’re literally holding in your hand. At least they were able to recognize what a stupid moment they were caught in.
We think everyone can relate to something like this, sometimes there are just moments where your brain works on auto pilot without thinking too much about what you’re doing. We hope this woman learned from her mistake and won’t have to use the hashtag #Imdumb again in the future!
50. There are Only Two Leonardos, Don’t Mix Them Up
Now, there isn’t a whole lot of famous Leonardos in history, but I still don’t think I can excuse mixing the two most famous ones up. I mean they were born hundreds of years apart, which I think is enough time to figure that they’re two different people. I wonder if this user thinks the Da Vinci Code is a biography about DiCaprio.
While the photos of those clouds are quite breathtaking, they don’t look like they could be painted by Leonardo DiCaprio. That is unless he has a special artistic talent that he’s hiding from the world. Did he actually draw that portrait of Kate Winslet in Titanic? If so, the original Tweet might be significantly less dumb!
49. Can Someone Get a Geography Teacher in Here?
We know United States’ geography can be confusing for those born outside the US. In fact, there are many Americans who find it confusing as well! In case any of our readers are not aware, not all states on the southern border count as “the South”. Least of all Southern California!
The official “South” as defined by the United States census includes the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. If your state was not listed here, we must inform you that you do not live in the South!
48. The NFL Has a Slightly Different Schedule
We’re guessing this girl is a bigger fan of sports than politics. There’s nothing particularly wrong with that, but she might want to brush up on her Presidential knowledge just a little bit. While Americans look forward to watching the Superbowl on a yearly basis, they only hold elections every four years. You learn something new every day!
To be fair, it’s entirely possible that this girl isn’t American and therefore confused about how the system works. But based on her use of the word “we”, we’re inclined to assume she’s a US citizen, just not a very educated one! However, she’s definitely on her way to putting the pieces together.
47. Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged
There’s an old saying that goes “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones”, and we think it definitely applies here. You might not want to go around judging people’s intelligence if you don’t have your own in check. We’re not sure what 30% of people she’s with but they’re definitely not the smart ones!
Maybe she means to say that 60% of people are stupid, 30% are slightly less stupid, and 10% are smart? If so we might be able to get behind that logic. Though we doubt she was making that point, after all who’s going to go out of their way to call themselves stupid on social media?
46. They are Not Even Kidding
Considering that presidents are almost always referred to exclusively by their last name, can we really blame this Twitter user SO much for this mistake? The answer is yes, yes we all can. If they ever saw even one news report or read a single article, they would know that Obama was the former President’s LAST name!
It’s really too bad that they wrote that they aren’t even kidding, maybe they would have been able to save some face from their embarrassing mistake. But alas, now all their followers (and the rest of the internet) know that they’re not the brightest bulb.
45. Uh, I Don’t Think You Understand the Meaning of that Word
Now, this seems to be a situation of not quite understanding the definition of a word. Trisha here seems to not realize that “commit suicide” is exactly the same thing as a person killing themselves. She must have a pretty innocent brain to not know the definition.
Which begs the question, what exactly does she think committing suicide means? What could it possibly be that she thinks it’s worse than a person killing themselves? Trisha probably knows what the actual definition is now, but I really need to find out what she thought it meant before.
44. But is She Familiar with Bill Gates?
Now, no one can be expected to keep track of the inventor of every single gadget. That’s especially true these days when there are new contraptions coming out all the time. However, it’s pretty incredible to think that there’s a person out there who is not aware of who Steve Jobs is!
Especially if they are an iPhone user! The Apple brand and iPhones are so wrapped up in the identity of Steve Jobs, it’s really incredible that Draya here is still clueless about who he is. Who knows, maybe she’s more of a Microsoft fan.
43. No, He is NOT that Guy from Glee!
This one is pretty painful to read. Of course, as time goes on, many of the legendary musicians of the past are destined to be forgotten. The generations who grew up with them will likely remember them forever, but younger people may be less aware of who they are.
However, it’s pretty crazy that this person thought that Kurt Cobain was still alive, not to mention starring in a show like Glee! They really must be totally oblivious as to who Kurt Cobain really is. Someone needs to introduce them to a Nirvana album ASAP.
42. They Just Don’t Know What a Vowel is
Now, this is just, well, it’s incredibly sad. Vowels are something that most people learn in kindergarten, but maybe this person was absent for that particular lesson. Maybe it would have been best not to admit their lack of basic English knowledge and not Tweet out their thoughts.
But now all of Twitter is aware of their limited knowledge of basic things. Maybe now they will at least be able to learn and not commit another faux pas like this. Maybe they will be able to take part in the next Twitter challenge.
41. Do You ALL Have a Birthday this Year??
This Twitter user clearly didn’t think twice before they typed up this message. This seems to be a common theme when it comes to Twitter, and that’s what makes it the perfect platform to find the dumbest things people say. And this Tweet is one of the prime examples of that.
That is a whole lot of retweets! Surely one of those many people commented that every year has the birthday of, well, every single living human being! In retrospect, we’re sure that this user has to laugh at their own stupidity, but I’m sure they felt sheepish at that very moment.
40. Are You Going to be an Aunt or an Uncle?
Luckily for this person, they will be able to figure out pretty quickly whether they will be an aunt or an uncle, regardless of when their sister will give birth! I guess that in all their excitement of their sister giving birth they forgot what a niece and nephew are.
Hopefully, their sister’s future child will love them just the way they are, even if they aren’t particularly good with words! Their sister may just want to make sure that her kids are taught English in school, and make sure they don’t get any lessons from her sibling!
39. Titanic the Movie or Titanic the Boat?
The 1997 film Titanic was a box office hit and stayed at the top of the highest grossing movies of all time list for a long time. However, it would appear that it did a better job educating people on the romance of the fictional Rose DeWitt Bukater instead of the actual events of the Titanic. That includes the name of the boat itself!
We’re not sure why this woman thinks the movie was named Titanic if it wasn’t the name of the boat. Perhaps she thinks there was a “Titanic” character? Or maybe she thinks “Titanic” is a word that describes a sinking ship? We hope someone eventually answered her question!
38. We’re Not Sure if She’s Ready to be a Mom Yet
Some people like to dream about their future family, how many kids they want, and whether they want boys or girls. Seems like this girl was a bit too deep into her daydreams when writing this tweet. Unfortunately, she sent it out before realizing how ridiculous it sounds.
Putting aside the silliness of this tweet for a moment, we wonder where this girl is today. Did she end up getting married and starting a family? Was she able to fulfill her dreams of having her first daughter be a girl? We hope her present or future daughter will be able to look at this tweet and have a good laugh!
37. A+ for Math, But an F in Biology
This reminds us of the common trick question; if it takes 5 minutes to boil one egg, how long does it take to boil ten? What this person may have failed to realize is that triplets are all born at the same time and don’t take more time to be born than one baby. But at least they knew that 9 x 3 = 27!
Those math skills are at the very least a step in the right direction. On another subject, we don’t even want to imagine how crazy it would be if moms could actually be pregnant for 27 months, that’s over 2 years! Thank goodness this person is totally wrong.
36. Uh, We Don’t Think that’s How Movies are Made…
We think this says more about how good the effects in Jurassic Park were than anything else, imagine being able to actually convince someone that those dinosaurs were real! We wonder how many other movies this girl is confused by. Does she think Star Wars was actually filmed in outer space? Or that a talking mouse was cast in the movie Stuart Little?
And for that matter, does she think that people who die in movies are actually dying?? Someone needs to explain the difference between fiction and documentary film to this girl, she must think the world is a truly terrifying place to live in!
35. Of All the Questions You Could Have Asked
Asking your friends or followers questions on social media is a great way to engage them in conversation. Unfortunately, it seems that this person was not thinking too hard when choosing a good conversation starter. We guess his next question could have been, “who here has an internet connection?”.
We wonder if anyone actually answered this question or if everyone who saw it simply laughed at his cluelessness. Maybe there was one wise guy who replied by saying, “I don’t have Twitter.” which we think would have been a funny answer. This tweet will remain a relic of internet stupidity for all time.
34. That’s Not the Kind of “Labor” They Meant
We think it’s sweet that this person wants to celebrate mothers, we just think they might be a little (or a lot) mixed up. In case you didn’t know, Labor Day is an American holiday in September that honors American workers. You know, “labor” as in “work, not like “going into labor”.
There actually is a holiday meant to honor people who have gone into labor and gave birth, it’s called Mother’s Day! Perhaps they forgot about it since it happens months earlier in the Spring. I bet their mom was very confused to get a congratulatory call on Labor Day.
33. Just Stick to the Rivers and the Jakes that You’re Used to
Everyone loves 90s music, and this Twitter user seems to be no exception. The only issue here isn’t their taste in music, but rather their lack of knowledge about the music they say they love so much! In case you haven’t guessed yet, they are actually trying to refer to the song “Chasing Waterfalls” by the legendary 90s group TLC.
Who on Earth is this “Jason” supposed to be? Did they really listen to that song and think that it was about a guy named “Jason” that the band was begging not to leave? Hopefully, someone pointed out the mistake and they were able to understand the actual message of the song.
32. Yet Another Person Who Doesn’t Understand How Birth Works
You have probably already heard of paternity tests, a DNA test to show who the father of a particular child is. This Twitter user seems to be asking why the reverse doesn’t exist for mothers. We hope and pray that you understand why that question makes no sense!
We could not agree more with the reply to this tweet, truly there are some people who are in dire need of some basic biology education. We hope it is not too late for this user, perhaps someone somewhere can teach them how pregnancy works?
31. Someone is Suddenly an Expert in Economics
Some people think they are so much smarter than everyone else in the world. Like this Twitter user here, they seem to think they have the problem of the US debt all squared away. If you don’t have enough money, simply print more! Why didn’t the government think of that??
Of course, this would not work at all, the biggest reason for this is inflation. But maybe this person should take a class in basic economics before purporting to have the solutions to a country’s financial problems. Or maybe next time they shouldn’t tweet out their asinine opinions on the internet!
30. Yet Another Person Who Doesn’t Know How Movies Work
We think this person could also use a lesson in fiction vs documentary film. Obviously, the Titanic was a real event, but the James Cameron movie was NOT a recording of that real event. Someone should explain that high resolution cameras didn’t even exist during the sinking of the Titanic!
And why would a boat like the Titanic have a film crew on it anyway? So many questions! We can’t imagine how confused this girl is whenever she watches a movie. Her and the Jurassic Park tweeter should be friends, they seem to have a lot in common.
29. It’s Just Called “the Olympics”, Brianna
Let’s give her the benefit of the doubt for a moment. Perhaps Brianna here is just so engrossed in the Winter Olympics that she can’t even fathom the idea of having the Olympics any other time of year? If you want to get technical about it, the Olympics have officially titled the Summer Olympics.
But let’s be honest, who actually calls it that? We all know that the “non Winter Olympics” are the main event, at least we think so. Brianna on the other hand seems to disagree. Who’s side are you on?
28. When You’re Sensitive to Dairy it’s Called…
The majority of individuals in the world have difficulty digesting dairy. Some people simply get an upset stomach while others need to carry an EpiPen around in case they accidentally ingest milk. Given that it’s a common ailment you’d think people would be familiar with the correct term, but this Tweet clearly proves that it’s not the case.
If there was anyone still wondering the word is “lactose intolerant”. As in your body is intolerant of food that contains lactose. Maybe she’s trying to say that she is lacking toast? It’s not the most difficult thing to make, surely she’ll be able to fill the lack of toast in her life.
27. He’s Been Skipping Science Class for Years
This guy is talking about basic biology without really understanding how it works. He seems to think that humans are animals in the sense that they live in barns and eat grass, or sleep in trees and feed their babies worms. But I think anyone who took an elementary school science class would understand that humans are animals, and mammals, just like a lot of other species.
This doesn’t mean that there are any humans living among the wolves, but we shouldn’t forget that we function in very similar ways to many creatures of the animal kingdom. Didn’t this dude ever watch Pocahontas? We are all one connected to the Earth, no matter what species we are.
26. Spoiler Alert: Sign Language is for the Hard of Hearing
We think it’s great that this person wanted to be more inclusive and show all their followers that they care. But it seems that they are a bit confused as to who exactly uses sign language! It looks like someone wanted to kindly correct them, but another person entered the conversation who was just as clueless as the original tweeter!
For the record, even if all those hand emojis DID mean something in sign language, people who are hard of hearing aren’t necessarily blind and would be able to read a tweet written with regular words. Truly there is no limit to the stupidity of this tweet.
25. Do You Know What an Alter Ego is?
We bet that this is the kind of person who would not notice the difference between Clark Kent and Superman. Perhaps The Rock’s wrestler persona was so over the top and convincing to this user that they really believed he was a different person. Now that’s what we would call an amazing performance!
The real amazing thing would be if the Rock really WAS a completely different person. Perhaps Dwayne Johnson’s identical twin? Who also happens to have the exact same tattoo as him? Either this is a crazy conspiracy or we’re onto something!
24. Why Oversharing Online is Bad
Let this be a lesson to all you readers; personal information does NOT belong on the internet! The most you should be sharing is your first name, things like your address, birthday, and most definitely any credit cards should stay as far away from social media as possible. Unfortunately, this Twitter user was unaware that you can use a credit card without physically having it.
This poor girl probably had to cancel her card ASAP, we’re assuming a lot of chargebacks had to be performed after strangers took advantage of her cluelessness. This is a lesson that was learned the hard way, hopefully, she doesn’t end up making a mistake like this again.
23. Careful, Synonym Rolls are Filled with Calories!
I have no doubt that the user who sent this Tweet out is a talented baker, and I certainly would not turn down one of these sweet baked goods. However, I would definitely correct them if they told me that these are called “synonym rolls”.
Obviously what they intended to say was that they just made some CINNAMON rolls. You know, because one of the central ingredients is ground cinnamon? They were pretty far off course when they tried to claim that they had just pulled these “synonym rolls” out of the oven.
Oh well, a dessert by any other name tastes just as sweet!
22. Oh, is THAT How Genetics Work?
Parents can pass down a lot of things to their children, like the color of their eyes and hair, or even a good sense of humor. We don’t think tattoos are on that list of things, though. We can’t even imagine how horrified a doctor would be to deliver a baby with a tattoo!
Maybe Rebecca has some really cool tattoos herself that she wish she could pass down to her children? Perhaps when they’re old enough you can take them to the tattoo parlor if they so wish, but until then you’ll have to deal with your babies born completely bare.
21. Pluto, the 50th State
There are times when the information we learn in school is proven incorrect or changes once we graduate. However, we don’t think this Twitter user found a flaw in the education system, though he’s probably about to have a big revelation! It’s true that Pluto was officially declared to not be a planet in 2006.
But that has nothing to do with the 50 States of America! We’re not sure how this guy managed to connect planets and states, maybe he had an extremely confusing elementary school teacher. Or perhaps he fell asleep while his class was going over states and woke up once they had moved onto planets? Either way, he’s got a lot to learn!
20. He Only Wants to Date an Enter Lectual
This person puts a lot of importance on the intelligence of his future girlfriend/wife, but he seems to be lacking the very virtue he’s seeking! I guess he was trying to say that for a girl to be “the one” he needs to be able to have an INTELLECTUAL conversation with her.
Maybe he should work on his own spelling and language skills before he starts judging other people for theirs. Perhaps the reason he thinks girls aren’t intellectual for him is because he’s far from being one himself! Hard to judge the intelligence of others when you spell like that.
19. Incredibly Simple Yet Still Incredibly Stupid
We’re not entirely sure what tweet this user is replying to, but her answer is in the top tier of dumb tweets. Maybe this all comes down to a misunderstanding of what “drowning” means? Does this girl think that you don’t necessarily die if you drown? We’d love to know.
This tweet was only published this year, which reinforces our belief that people are continuing to write incredibly stupid things on Twitter even today, and they probably will continue to do so as long as the website is up and running! Oh Internet, don’t you ever change.
18. What are Those Hand-Sock Things Called Again?
Maybe this person was shivering so much from the cold that their brain temporarily forgot that gloves exist. Of course, if gloves aren’t what they’re looking for they could always just put their socks on their hands we guess? We think they would prefer mittens, which are actually made to be worn on your hands (unlike socks).
We commend the commenter who informed this poor person that there actually IS a way for them to easily warm their hands. It didn’t seem to work though, so this tweeter will just have to live with their cold hands until someone figures out what “socks for our hands” are supposed to be.
17. Keep that Ranch Dressing Away from Me!
This Tweet starts out with a pretty great message. It’s very true that the people who really care about you will only lift you up when you’re feeling down, y’know instead of giving you the old “I told you so” routine. But the second part of the Tweet has us questioning whether or not she knows what she’s talking about.
The actual saying refers to pouring SALT on your wounds, obviously because it would make the pain even worse. We’re not sure salad on your wounds would have the same effect, we guess it would depend on the kind of salad. An acidic vinaigrette would definitely cause an open wound to hurt a lot more!
16. Sitcom Actor or First Man on the Moon?
We think this person could use another round of history lessons. For all those unaware, Neil Armstrong was famous for being the first man to ever set foot on the moon, certainly not comparable to an actor on a modern sitcom. The real stupidity of this tweet is this person thinking that THEY made Neil Armstrong famous!
We’re guessing that his hard work in becoming an astronaut probably contributed to his fame a lot more than his identity being confused by a random person on Twitter. And before we go we just have one more question, which guy on How I Met Your Mother did you think Neil Armstrong was??
15. This Person Should be Working for NASA!
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been around for over 60 years and they still haven’t figured out that they could just send astronauts to the sun at night. We’re kidding of course, but this Twitter user certainly wasn’t! Our faith in humanity lost because of a single tweet.
Perhaps this person also thinks all you need to visit the sun during the day is a good pair of sunglasses and some sunscreen? We almost want to pick this person’s brain and see what other brilliant ideas they might be keeping to themselves, but we’re too afraid the stupidity would kill us!
14. I Hope Her University Doesn’t See this Tweet
I’m guessing this person grew up pretty sheltered in Southern California, so much so that she doesn’t even recognize the North as part of the same state! I wonder if she’s aware that Los Angeles is not actually the capital city. For her sake I hope San Francisco University has some good geography classes, otherwise, she’s not going to go very far with her studies.
If you don’t even know where your school is geographically how do you get accepted? That’s exactly what the person replying to her is asking, and I’d like some explanations, too! Maybe this is all a big misunderstanding and “California” is the name of a small town in Iowa where she grew up.
13. He Must Think this is Some Kind of Witchcraft
I’m having a hard time believing that the person who sent out the original Tweet was not smoking some sort of substance when he posed this question. This is the kind of thing you ask when you’re up at 5 in the morning and you’re so tired that your brain stops working. Hopefully, when he’s more lucid he’ll realize how dumb his question was.
Maybe this kind of query makes sense when you’re looking at a boat in a bottle, but I think most people would take one look at this photo and realize that it’s a frozen bottle of water. This might be a funny way to fool a 2-year-old, but an adult should really know better!
12. Someone is Suddenly an Expert in Economics
Some people think they are so much smarter than everyone else in the world. Like this Twitter user here, they seem to think they have the problem of the US debt all squared away. If you don’t have enough money, simply print more! Why didn’t the government think of that??
Of course, this would not work at all, the biggest reason for this is inflation. But maybe this person should take a class in basic economics before purporting to have the solutions to a country’s financial problems. Or maybe next time they shouldn’t tweet out their asinine opinions on the internet!
11. What Season is the Month of Summer?
This is what happens when you’re tweeting faster than your brain can function. Many people are named after months. There are common ones like April, May, and June, and then the less typical and more unique names like January. Whether you decide to pick a mainstream or niche month name, you should be aware that a MONTH is not a SEASON.
Plenty of people out there are named Summer or Autumn, but they know those aren’t months. If this lady has a kid soon and announces her name by saying, “I named her Summer after my favorite month,” she’s going to get some major side-eyes. People might even wonder if she’s smart enough to raise the kid!
10. Not Understanding How Identity Theft Works
Identity theft is an incredibly serious crime which we hope this user was not a victim of. Some criminals go to great lengths in order to acquire someone’s identity, but this person has made the job incredibly easy for them! We can’t think of a worse idea than publishing your entire social security number on the internet.
With everything being digital these days, it can be incredibly easy for hackers to steal another person’s identity whether they look like their victim or not. We highly recommend keeping such personal documents in a safe space, and definitely do NOT share any photos of them on social media!
9. Okay, That’s Enough Internet for You for Today
We bet that this person was extremely brain dead when they tweeted out that response. A helpful life hack meant to teach people the proper way to wear earbuds resulted in one of the dumbest questions we have ever seen. This really proves the phrase “there are no stupid questions” is wrong.
We are not exactly sure what upside-down music would sound like. We’ve heard of music played backward, but upside down? Such a thing seems totally impossible. It just goes to show how much this person wasn’t thinking when sending this question out.
8. Of Mythical and Real Beings
This Twitter user just wanted to let the world know how cute and cuddly chupacabras really are. The only problem with that is that these are NOT chupacabras! They are, in fact, capybaras. The capybara is a giant rodent that is native to South American, a chupacabra is a very different creature.
As the Twitter user below has replied, a chupacabra is a mythical creature, it’s not even real! According to legend, it drains the blood of goats in Mexico. It has absolutely nothing in common with the capybara, except maybe the fact that both of them have long names that start with the letter C.
7. Your Liver or Your Lungs…?
This Tweet starts out with good intentions, though the direction it ended up taking is beyond confusing. It’s great that this guy is trying to stop smoking, many people find it an extremely hard habit to crack. But why on Earth would he think smoking has anything to do with his liver? Perhaps the organ he’s thinking about is his lungs?
One week of smoking isn’t going to do him very much in the first place, though it’s a start at least. Even though he’s a little misguided, the outcome of his actions will be for the better. Maybe he cares about his liver more than his lungs, if that’s the case then no one should tell him the truth!
6. Easiest Customer Service Complaint Ever
One of the benefits of social media is that it allows companies and brands to answer customer service complaints quickly and in real time. We guess that whoever was running the Domino’s Twitter account was relieved when they realized nothing was actually wrong. But the person complaining about their “plain” pizza probably felt pretty silly sending out that first tweet!
We wonder how they managed to open the box upside down, maybe the delivery person handed it to them that way? It seems doubtful, but we can’t imagine how else they didn’t notice they opened the box from the wrong end!
5. Forgetting the Name of the Wildlife
The person who sent out this original tweet merely wanted to share photos from his safari trip with the internet. After having a pleasant and friendly interaction with the wildlife he was filled with the desire to express his love for the creature. He must not have been listening to the tour guide when they came across this animal, because it’s definitely NOT an elephant!
I’m no zoologist but I’m pretty sure that long-necked creature is actually a giraffe. Maybe in his excitement to share these admittedly great photos he experienced a brain fart. Also, I don’t know if he would call elephants all that harmless if he found himself underneath one of their giant feet!
4. Those are Two Different Kinds of Quarters
This is one of those units of measurement issues that tends to confuse people. What this person should have realized is that our measurements for time and money are not exactly the same. At least they are trying to apply some kind of logic, even though their conclusion makes no sense.
Of course, a quarter of an hour is 15 minutes because 1/4 of sixty minutes is 15. But I’m not here to give you all a math lesson, I just want you to be entertained by this nonsensical tweet as much as I was!
3. Yoga Has Nothing To Do with Yogurt
You might be staring at this Tweet and wondering what the heck a “yogart” class is supposed to be. You’ve figured that this user misspelled the word yogurt, but still, what kind of yogurt classes are the ladies flocking to? Once you realize what he meant to say was “yoga” you’ll probably end up slapping your forehead with your palm.
For starters, we’re not sure why he’s so confused as to why people like to stretch. Is it really that difficult of a concept to grasp? Secondly, we’re baffled as to how he managed to associate “yoga” with “yogurt”. They might sound vaguely similar, but an ounce of common sense would’ve prevented anyone from making that bizarre connection!
2. That’s Not the Guy Who Made that Speech
Truly, celebrities are not exempt from stupid tweets, in fact, sometimes they are the root cause of most of them! It looks like Paris Hilton’s heart was in the right place when she wrote this tweet, unfortunately, her brain was NOT.
“I Have a Dream” is obviously the famous speech given by Martin Luther King Jr. Nelson Mandela was, of course, one of the leaders of South Africa, known as an anti apartheid revolutionary. It’s nice that Paris found the speech so inspirational, but maybe she should have paid more attention to the person who was giving it.
1. Someone Needs to Have Their Phone Confiscated
This is another one of those thoughts that should have stayed inside the person’s mind instead of being shared with the entire internet. We wonder how long it took for them to figure out what they had written after they published their tweet. We’re glad someone took a screenshot before it was deleted!
If there is one good thing that comes from people sharing their dumbest thoughts on Twitter it’s our enjoyment of their stupidity. That’s has got to be one silver lining to all the insanity that takes place on social media!
