Slowclap awards for genuine stupidity

[SinisterGehe]

Well this one abiturient (3rd year student) in my school said during class this:

*teacher asked moral views about pros and cons of nuclear power*
The girl: "As we all know nuclear power is abd because... Isn't Acid rains caused by the fumes released from nuclear waste..." /clap SLOOOWLY!

after that I have NEVER raised my hand up so fast to correct her, even the teacher who was semi anti-nuclear-power* correcter her (*He doesn't really oppose it or is for it, but he doesn't want nuclear reactors to be the primary source of energy, but he understands why Finland can't depend on Solar and Wind power totally)... Like I would understand that if you wouldn't have decent education, but 2nd level academic three years in and you do not know what causes acid rains??? COMON!!! This is why we can't have nice things in this world, when these people

just gonna copy-paste something i just wrote in a similar topic a few minutes ago:

back in highschool there was this dude sitting in front of me, and he was...well let's just say he wasn't the brightest crayon in the box. so in law class, the teacher is talking law stuff, and says something that if in disagreement with a court ruling, everyman has the right to take the case to a higher instance of the court system. so he slightly turns arround and asks, in all seriousnes: "hey...who's this everyman guy?" i WISH i was making this up.

same dude, different class. history to be precise.

teacher asks him: "who ruled germany before the third reich?"
he: "uhm..."
me: *whisper whisper*
he: "the jew!"

xD

teacher gave me a warning not to torpedo his lessons any more, but he did so with a grin^^

sry for copypasta everyone who read the other topic

Here comes an example of stupidity that I did and actually facepalmed when I realised it. Due to my VERY bad phrasing of trying to find out if there was any special sort of sauce or veg on a certain seasonal sandwich from Subway...

"What's on a Turkey, Stuffing and Gravy sub?"

My friends say a lot of stupid shit
"I'd say by the third puff of my first fag I was addicted"
"A bear could totally beat a hippo in a fight"
"Shut up you crocodile ************!"
But the best has to be:
"There's two boys and one girl in this room, and were all a little drunk, why don't we have a threesome?"
And what followed where the worst 2 hours of my life.

me and a few friends at a call center i used to work at convinced this girl, who wasn't even overweight, that if she wanted to lose weight she should switch to diet water because it had less calories for 3 weeks...she actually went to stores asking where she could find the diet water lol

Me and my ex were walking to a friends house and she's lagging behind.

Me: "Come on hurry up"
Her: "It's kind of hard to walk in these boots"
Me: "You might find it easier if you put them on the right feet"

Geography, teacher is explaining how Coal is produced.
Girl: "Oh so the cavemen buried the coal for us to find now, that's really nice of them!"

OT: Back in our senior year of high school, when the teacher was talking about Genghis Khan, a girl goes "Wait isn't that that guy from Mulan!?" Same person also thought Winston Churchill was "that black guy" -_-

OK, I gotta ask, is she referring to the Ghostbuster Winston Zeddmore? Because that's the first thing that popped into my mind and that mental image of confusing the two is priceless.

My friend told me that he knew everything. I said "Oh, so you're omniscient?"

Him: "What's that?"

Brilliant, man. Brilliant.

It's funny because a Hippo could KILL AND EAT a bear.

More than half the people I tell I am Jewish in ethnicity think I believe in Judaism. When I correct them, they say I'm not Jewish then. *slow clap*

I work at a movie theater, and one time I was working concessions and a lady comes in reeking heavily of cigarettes. She buys $20 worth of candy and a small popcorn. When I ask if she wants butter flavoring on the popcorn, she replies "HELL NO! That stuff can kill you!"

-blink-

Took every ounce of self control I had not to say something along the lines of "Are you serious??"

I made a threat a while ago about why are the Russian are the bad guys in so many games and movies alike.

Me: Why? Is it the lack of originality or was USSR the biggest threat to America since Hitler?

Guy#1: It's under speculation, most likely it's different in every situation, I blame stereotypes.

Guy#2: Russia was allies with Cube who tried to nuke America.

Guy#1: Genuine Internet stupidity *Facepalm*

Me: *Slow clap*

"Who's Chernobyl?"

You just won four internets.

I was going to say that Justin Bieber jokes are no longer funny and that everyone makes mistakes, but...He read the word. It wasn't just the guy's accent, he actually read the word "German" and still didn't know what it was.

That is unforgivable.

I love how the host just rolled with it. "Yeah, he loves basketball!"

I'm glad you asked, because it only gets worse, after much probing, the class was able to determine that she was thinking of....wait for it... Micheal Jordan.... I wish I was kidding, she confused Winston Churchill with Micheal Jordan..... the teacher also bought a stress ball after that day, and used it FREQUENTLY

Wow... that truly does deserve a slow clap... I mean, it could've been forgiven as a perplexing brain-fart with Ghostbusters, but Michael Jordan? Gold star for that story.

I thought that over the counter medicine was the prescription drugs in the pharmacy.

They're not?!

OT: While my bro is playing Tekken online with my dad in the room. We come across a player with the username "Girl R Smarter."

Dad: Is this a girl playing?
Me: How am I supposed to know?
Dad: Can't you tell by the name?
