In a world where common sense seems to be in short supply, the internet has become a merciless judge, laughing at the bizarre, the questionable, and the downright ridiculous. From outlandish messages to head-scratching mistakes, some people find themselves in situations that not only defy logic but also go viral for all the wrong reasons. Whether it’s a comment on something you have no idea about, a poor decision shared for the world to see, or just a truly bizarre moment of misjudgment, these instances will leave you questioning how anyone could make such choices.
Buckle up, because some of these moments are truly jaw-dropping. Get ready to laugh, cringe, and maybe even shake your head in disbelief as we dive into the wild world of internet fame fueled by sheer nonsense. Here are 21 people who clearly lost a battle of common sense.
1. Well, they tried their best

It just so happens that orange does not end with O.

Poor Kevin Sorbo.
4. Merriam-Webster came out just to tell them they were wrong

This is one of those urban legends that just won’t die.

Maybe they consider his trash can a home.

What made them think the moon emits its own light?

Do you hunt for mushrooms or forage for them?

11. I think they’re confusing something

The lighting on the right is the perfect temperature for a dentist though.
12. Who’s going to tell him?

Lady Liberty was built in France, friend.

Also, cooking makes food more digestible and therefore calorie-efficient.
14. “It is William and I”

Just remove “William” and you’ll find out how to say the sentence correctly.
15. It’s actually you’re

They even used “your” correctly the third time.

Irish whiskey and Guinness spring to mind when I think of Ireland.
17. “It is literally the Spanish form of plural you”

Y’all means you all.
18. This one really hurts the brain

This is why some people shouldn’t argue on the internet.
