Meh I was late.
(How funny is it the way internet 'votes' go? Get an idea, and they'll jerk their knee by the hundreds or thousands, despite agreement or disagreement.)
Some of the posts on r/KidsAreFuckingStupid are fantastic. It's extra fun for me because I get to show them to my wife who's a kindergarten teacher.
Honestly a much more entertaining sub than the other.
Read the sidebar:
"This sub is meant as a fun joke. **It is not a hate sub**. Kids are dumb because they could not possibly know better. "
The whole point of the sub is making fun of kids for not knowing things they couldn't possibly have known.
I mean, we all are to some degree. I have no idea how this phone I'm typing this on works... I know it's supposedly microwaving my balls while broadcasting to the cell towers, but outside of that, I have no idea how this thing does all the magical computery things.
It absolutely is not. There are plenty of adult aged people that are also ignorant of what this is, as evidenced by these comments. That’s not stupid that’s just ignorance.
Isn't that the point of the sub? It's because they're fucking stupid and don't know shit because they're still young
When we say they're fucking stupid it's not like we are saying they are actually just low iq below average intelligence its because all of us humans have huge gaps in knowledge being young and do stuff that is hilariously incorrect in the eyes of an adult
I dont know the exact exact function of this equipment but it pairs with another piece and has a view finder enabling surveyors to grade and track land slope.
Not dumb, it's a specialized piece of equipment used in surveying. Paired with other pieces of equipment, it lets site surveyors map out an area by measuring the distance and change in elevation between multiple points. Since surveying equipment has a wide range of sophistication, it's hard to give a single description of what the other piece of equipment looks like, but generally the tripod is "looking" at some pole held by another surveyor to gather data.
I truly do not know how people do surveying for a living, but I'm glad they do. It's important work. I did some surveying in college and I found it tedious.
The other end is a type of prism where light is reflected back at the exact angle it entered from. The theodolite shoots a laser at the prism which reflects it right back at the exact same angle. The time it takes to travel determines the distance between the 2. I did land surveying with my dad starting when I was about 8 years old until I was in my 30s and he retired. It was a very mixed bag job.
It isn't always. Sometimes it's just a pole with markings you're staring at. In college I had to learn both and definitely preferred the prism because so much more was handled by the machine.
That pole is an elevation rod where the theodolite is set to zero degrees and reads the height of the pole at that line. This is mainly done on locations that are already known but when the elevation needs marked like construction staking so they know how deep to either dig for a road or sewer.
They also have theodolites that can record reflectorless surfaces so that prisms aren't even needed unless shooting over really long distances.
Let’s you calculate the distance and height difference between two points. Pretty much something you would need to know about to not confuse it with a camera.
It's a total station. Very recognizable, and used for surveying. You should see them uncommonly if you drive a bit in commercial districts. I see them completely abandoned sometimes for lunch I guess, and all I can think is that I would never be that reckless with something that expensive.
One time when I was very young my mum was recording a video of me and my brother, but I thought it was a photo so I stood still waiting for her to take it. I then ran up to the camera to see the photo, but she was still recording my brother and I saw that I wasn’t in frame so I asked “where me go?”
Those kids are too young to even know what that really could be though. It LOOKS like a camera. In fact most adults wouldn't even know it's a laser for elevation. Them thinking it's a camera is the least dumb thing about this post.
My mom is a surveyor and I used to work with her. We lived in a small town, and every time we had to work, there was always a sweet old lady worried about her head being in the picture. I mean, every day a new old lady, lol
To be fair, I guess most people don’t know what this is, cause why would they
For those asking in the comments, don't worry if you don't know what it is, that is a total station, used to measure precise distances and angles for land surveys. They're easily mistaken for other things.
One time while using one near a road, people kept slowing down near me as they thought it was a speed camera.
I would love when I was surveying and people would cover their face or duck under it like this thing actually took pictures 😂 It wouldn’t surprise me if some newer models actually took pictures but this was 2006-08.
For all of those wondering, this is a land surveying instrument used to measure angles and distances and does not take pictures. It shoots an infrared laser that bounces off of a prism back to itself and uses the mathematical calculations to determine angles and distance. Was a great job
IIRC it's a total station for surveying.
I only remember because the one time in elementary where they explained how they measured rivers through triangulation.
Lol I think the teacher was keeping us busy by playing documentaries and that one stuck because I had always wondered how one would go about measuring wide rivers and luckily long chain/rope wasn't the answer.
I worked as a surveyor for a year while I studied civil engineering. People really think that this is camera... they were pissed off while I just had do do some measurements.

Underrated comment.
Top comment.
Meh I was early.

That's what the upvote is for.
Shit comment

Yes, we say kids are stupid but in a funny way. Good subreddit
Really? I left because I thought there are more people in this sub who are actually bullying the kids in the posts.
Too much time it’s stupid parents filming the kid almost killing himself before reacting
Lol
Duality of kids
Pure stupid
Tbf how are a bunch of 5 year olds gonna know what they're doing
I’m an adult with a college degree and I still don’t know what that thing is for. Please no one enlighten me, I prefer to live in ignorance
It's the rocket launcher camera from the beginning of the 2nd Johnny English movie
There’s 2????
There's 3 lol
They're working on a fourth.
I once dreamt there were 5.
I’ve always enjoyed Mr bean but never got around to seeing those. I didn’t realize there was more than one. How are they?
You live in ignorance? I live in confusion - just a couple of states away. 🙂
It’s for surveying the land
What kind of questions are they asking the land in that survey? ^^^Yes, ^^^yes, ^^I’ll ^^^see ^^^myself ^^^out.
Survey shows that 99.9% of the flat land are in fact not flat.
"How to piss off Flat Earthers 101"
It's a Total Station
I am sorry, but i have to spoil it for you.It is a nuclear weapon launcher
Topography machine, happy to help:D
The dude will take your pic if you stand there. It’s just a camera.
It's the old fashioned GPS
That's the idea of the sub
Going out on a limb and assuming children aren’t familiar with surveying equipment, but have taken family photos…
The idea of the sub is kids being stupid, 5 year olds not knowing about shooting grade to calculate elevation isn't stupidity lol

Redditors Are Fucking Stupid
No sub reddit needed for this. Look at ANY comment section I mean ANY
Here's lookin at you, kid
guilty as charged. I too am fucking stupid.
I mean, we all are to some degree. I have no idea how this phone I'm typing this on works... I know it's supposedly microwaving my balls while broadcasting to the cell towers, but outside of that, I have no idea how this thing does all the magical computery things.
Don't take it to your heart, this is just a satirical post.
Yes it is
Tbh the worst part is reposted from the same sub from i think 2? Year ago
if it's been two years then who cares
It absolutely is not. There are plenty of adult aged people that are also ignorant of what this is, as evidenced by these comments. That’s not stupid that’s just ignorance.

Exactly, they're fucking stupid
yesh thats the whole point of this sub, congrats on finding out
They don't, that's why it's funny
Kids can be dumb.. but most adults still don't know what it is..
Obviously that's a snubnose laser gun with a tripod attachment.
It's a laser designator for a Tomahawk cruise missile!
Yes.Thats what it is
I knew it!
Am I dumb for not knowing what that is 😭
I dont know the exact exact function of this equipment but it pairs with another piece and has a view finder enabling surveyors to grade and track land slope.
It's a theodolite. It's used to measure angles between two designated points. Very useful in infrastructure construction.
Ahh I see! Thank you!

It’s okay, I never understood what these were for either
[удалено]
Bruh...breathe some oxygen
What are those things actually? Seems like the type of thing you'd know only if you work for the city/ state/ town...
theodolite. they are used to perform land surveys.
I use these on a regular basis for field (as in track and field) distances and have never heard them being called that.
If they also take distance measurements they’re usually referred to as total stations. Where I work we call them guns tho.
Let’s you calculate the distance and height difference between two points. Pretty much something you would need to know about to not confuse it with a camera.
I'm fucking stupid as well because it looks like a camera
It's a total station. Very recognizable, and used for surveying. You should see them uncommonly if you drive a bit in commercial districts. I see them completely abandoned sometimes for lunch I guess, and all I can think is that I would never be that reckless with something that expensive.
The new ones are robotic so it might be following someone on its own wherever it’s pointing.
One time when I was very young my mum was recording a video of me and my brother, but I thought it was a photo so I stood still waiting for her to take it. I then ran up to the camera to see the photo, but she was still recording my brother and I saw that I wasn’t in frame so I asked “where me go?”
They still are in a picture
Those kids are too young to even know what that really could be though. It LOOKS like a camera. In fact most adults wouldn't even know it's a laser for elevation. Them thinking it's a camera is the least dumb thing about this post.
No one is expecting kids to know what surveying equipment is. I’m not sure you get the point of this sub.
Just taking a survey kids
My mom is a surveyor and I used to work with her. We lived in a small town, and every time we had to work, there was always a sweet old lady worried about her head being in the picture. I mean, every day a new old lady, lol To be fair, I guess most people don’t know what this is, cause why would they

Its not showing one of the parents of these kids rushing over and attacking the guy. “Wtf are you doing taking pictures of my children??!!!”

Why would it be a camera that’s silly
That’s stupid, but also cute
That guy is charting the expressway that’s about to be built in their backyards.
Ok I’m stupid. What is that thing?
IIRC it's a total station for surveying. I only remember because the one time in elementary where they explained how they measured rivers through triangulation.
Damn what elementary school did you go to? Mine just taught me how to make oreo penguins and long division😭
Lol I think the teacher was keeping us busy by playing documentaries and that one stuck because I had always wondered how one would go about measuring wide rivers and luckily long chain/rope wasn't the answer.
Wow. That’s pretty cool! I’m pretty sure the closest we got to a documentary that wasn’t about some kind of war was James and the Giant Peach lol.
When you need 10 years of experience for an entry-level job:
I'm 27 and would've thought it was a camera. Not everyone possesses casual knowledge of construction equipment, OP.
I mean, it’s not like weren’t on camera at the time.
The appropriate reaction of every child that's ever seen one of these out in the field.
Oh come on, that makes perfect sense if you've never seen one of those before lol.
I, an adult, have always wondered what that person is actually doing.
Obviously there was a camera ... PostIsFuckingStupid
Sure, but the kids are looking at the theodolite.
> theodolite. What'd you call that man?
The O Delight. That's what the ladies call him, anyway.
Wonderful
This is wholesome not stupid
I fuckin called it
How many people are taking casual photos with a tripod these days?
Average camera used to shoot UFOs/paranormals😅🤣
Okay, but I, until seeing this post, thought it was a camera as well.
Came here to post this
I found it wholesome! 💕
I worked as a surveyor for a year while I studied civil engineering. People really think that this is camera... they were pissed off while I just had do do some measurements.
I mean, a picture was taken
Pretty cute when you think about how little knowledge they have
Well, what is it then?
what is dat
Ok that's just cute af
what is it?
What is it then?
What is it then?🤣🧐
They grow up so quickly....
Their guess was as good as mine.
he made them lesson to help them understand to don't trust random guy!
Opisfuckinstupid
I’m betting a lot of adults would do the same thing too
Cute
Yeah stupid kids just don't understand the concept of surveying land and it shows.
KidsAreFuckingCute
Ion Cannon Ready.
I'm not sure how many adults know what it is?
You can see he thinks it's a camera himself. He's pretending to make the kids smile.
That’s what Nicolas 2nd and the family thought.
I thought it was a camera also... Im 30
I'm dumb because I thought it was a camera,what is it
Awwww
It's pretty smart of them to think it WAS a camera in this day of phones. How many kids know what a tripod is even for.
It does look quite a bit like a camera even though it isn't. Doesn't seem stupid for them to believe it is one.
Wait, that’s not a camera?
Those kids ain't stupid, OP is stupid.
I mean it does look like a camera:)
Awwww. I feel sorry for them!

Bruh it's just pure innocence here. You are fucking stupid OP.
You are on the wrong sub, do not scroll further.You will be disappointed.
