We shouldn't stress ourselves out by trying to sound brilliant all the time, but we also need to understand the dangers of not thinking about anything we say. Because people say some really dumb things. Every day, people reveal their mind-blowing ignorance, or mind-blowing ability to say something completely ridiculous and go down in history as the big ol' dummy of the friend group. We've collected quite a few of the dumbest things people have heard anyone say from a r/AskReddit post, and the answers are about as fascinating as it gets. From the hilariously memorable quote "London is the Paris of New York" to the person who hadn't heard of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, this kind of stuff make people shake in their boots from embarrassment — but provides us with endless entertainment.
Remember to be smart when you open your mouth, or else you too will join the ranks of the dumbest things people have ever heard. Don't become the source of someone else's facepalm moments.
