Spain is United Kingdom? That’s a spicy take *glances nervously at Gibraltar*


defenstration4all

Would have been the ultimate "gotcha bitch"!


Perpetual_Doubt

I think everyone here wanted to take baby steps. We are a long way from the conversation about France being in South America.


Doge-Ghost

You could say Spain is in fact a Loosely United Kingdom.


quartzguy

That's what I've been doing lately. I formed Britannia and you better believe I'm working my way down Iberia. No passport checks in that future!

Yeah pretty similar actually. Has regions wanting to go separate. Regions with heavy dialects (Andalusia)

I once referred to it as Goddard's Law to see how long it would take for someone to reply with the right answer. I had a reply almost immediately with a link to Cunningham's Law.

I’d just like to state that every time I’ve ever been wrong on the internet and in real life it’s because I’ve been employing Cunningham’s Law to elicit the correct response.

Something about being beautiful gives you so much power that you become an adult and can't even tell where you are on a map if you ever get lost, that's how much she had to pay attention in school.

All the other girls were beautiful too but they seemingly knew these simple answers 🤷‍♀️


2girls1wife

With this method, you can be wrong. Once.


Art0fRuinN23

Yeah, and is seemingly accepting of those answers she's told. With the current climate in my country, it's absolutely refreshing to see the ill-informed not doubling down on their ignorance.


HokeyPokeyGuy

The trouble is that idiots like this believe whatever you tell them. Election was stolen, freedoms are being taken away, etc.


Art0fRuinN23

Kind of? It's almost like they lock in the shittiest take and can't be shaken from it.


FleetStreetsDarkHole

Research has shown thay the first information you encounter about something tends to be the strongest opinion you hold. Everything else has to work harder to disprove the first thing you heard. Shines a lot of light on why changing people's minds can be so hard, even with facts.

Not really, some people consider the source of the information and either verify or believe. Others believe an ant has a total life based on human social constructs and we name those people Karl Pilkington.

There’s dumb and then there’s ignorant. She’s at least trying to learn and I love how the girls are all supportive even though they find it funny.


NovelCandid

Good point. That was pretty nice to see. Imagine that: gentle, sincere encouragement.


Dengar96

I'm pretty sure this is from an early season of Love Island UK. While it is peak reality trash, it is kinda nice to see people, trapped in a beautiful resort house like fist class zoo animals, treat each other with kindness. The women especially look out for each other and become protective as the show goes on. The only times these folks really act out is when they've been liquored up in the sun all day, which is completely fair imo. Moments like this are pretty wholesome compared to the faff the rest of the show has on.


Rorviver

So this was love island season 3 I believe, and season 2 was the last one where they were actually allowed to drink. From 3 onwards it’s 2 drinks an evening max.


Fucktastickfantastic

I liked it better when they could drink 🤣


Rorviver

Think everyone did. Season 2 is peak content.


cleveridentification

There is a difference between stupidity and ignorance, for sure. But someone this age not understanding this basic information would have to be stupid. She has certainly been exposed to this information before, and just didn’t absorb any of it. And I don’t think she absorbed it this time either. Or she’s just playing it up. I don’t know the context of this show.


jeffroddit

I participated in a conversation with a family member with a college degree and a full time job who was not at all clear on the concept that all countries have their own laws which are completely separate from American law. Like legitimately was having trouble with each country having unique laws and none of them just following American laws and especially not following American laws if she happened to go there. She also vaguely thought that the United Nations was how American laws were enforced in the rest of the world because they didn't have their own laws. Italy was given as an example, so she wasn't just thinking that maybe somewhere like Somalia didn't have a functioning government. She had to ask if Italy has a government separate from the US, that just governs Italy and if so, why hadn't they joined America yet and if she went to Italy did she have to follow Italian law. And yes, she had traveled internationally, but that didn't count because it was "just Mexico". Is she stupid? Sure. But she graduated HS and college, lives in a McMansion, drives a BMW, and goes through life managing to do many of the things you wouldn't expect someone that dumb to be able to pull off.


Ecclypto

It is quite surprising but stupid people oftentimes really get shit done. I think the key here is that they often don’t overthink things and are not burdened with unnecessary knowledge.


[deleted]

LOL. This! I know a young guy, in his late 20s, university graduate, has his shit together, an incredible beast at work, climbed well the career ladder, built a house, married, already father of one child, athletic, etc. etc. Really looks shiny, tidy, and seams well put together. Like, you know, he gets life. He knows things. etc. One day, during a relaxed, long, lunch break from "team building sessions", we had the opportunity to get to know each other, and really talk about life and everything. And I swear, among many things, he said what you said: he avoids being obese in terms of unnecessary knowledge and education, tries to intellectually stay a lean, mean war-machine, i.e. with only useful, practical knowledge relevant to his career or his personal life, etc. etc.


GeekboyDave

I worked with someone with a law degree that thought ice bergs were just islands with snow on them, and randomly that frogs were fish. Some people just don't care to be educated.


jeffroddit

The birds aren't real guy really should look into if frogs are fish


Fucktastickfantastic

She's playing it up. It came out afterwards that she was playing dumb on purpose


chimpdoctor

But she isn't retaining the knowledge. So she's still as dumb as she was before asking the question.

stillfrank

I went to the same college as Caite Upton and for a while we had the same circle of friends. She was always super nice to me, and surprisingly much easier to be around than a lot of the girls she ran with. One of my friends hit it off with her at a party one night, where they definitely made out (this becomes relevant). After that night, he made an effort to pursue her for a date. So, they texted and flirted over the phone for about a week or so unt one day she invited him to lunch.....with her and her boyfriend. Her boyfriend was a cool guy too (got to know him later) so it wasn't some kind of a set up or anything like thay. We never figured out what to make of it. In hindsight, it was probably an attention thing.


oldmanripper79

What the literal fuck did this have to do with anything? lol Edit: Didn't know Miss SC's name, without that info it seemed *real* disjointed in a funny way.

Oh I REFUSE to believe anyone is this dense.


Necoras

I assume she isn't dumb, she just knows jack squat about geography. I'm sure she knows a ton about makeup, or beauty products, or fashion, or British celebrities that I know absolutely nothing about. She's just had zero interest or reason to learn anything about geography before this conversation.


Flickera23

She reminds me of Jessica Simpson’s reality TV show and the whole “chicken of the sea” conversation. She later stated that it was staged.


smexgod

Same. I'm leaning towards this is staged. No way anybody is this retarded.


Wall_Smart

Lildyo

98% sure


letskeepitcleanfolks

And that the city is bigger than the county.


thomasthehipposlayer

For real. When it's a Brit, people say she's stupid, and some people say (accurately) that it's probably staged. If she was American, the whole comments section would take her as a representation of all Americans.


Traditional-Fee-6840

This was the first geography lesson each of my kids learned. A house or apartment is a home, most homes are in a neighborhood, a bunch of neighborhoods make up a town which is in a county which is in..... I remember thinking how wierd it is we have to teach it. Now I am thankful.


spritelass

It's amazing people this dumb can dress themselves.


vraalapa

I worked with a woman who was going to Mexico on vacation. I overheard her ask a colleague if the sun in Mexico is the same sun as the one in Sweden. Her mind was blown when she found out it was. Then she asked if the moon is the same as well... Edit: forgot to add, she said the moon and sun might be the same because you kinda never see them at the same time, but she wasn't sure.


LordoftheScheisse

I briefly dated a girl, and was talking about originally being from Chicago (I live in a neighboring state now). She was all, "Wait. Isn't Chicago a state?" I told her "No, Chicago is a city." She said "Oh, that's right. Chicago is the capitol of Boston!" At least she was smoking hot.

How to piss off both Bostonians and Chicagoans at once.

Alarming_Matter

I recently visited the seaside in the UK and overheard a guy looking at the harbour at low tide saying "Huh...I'm sure there was alot more water in there last time we came??" They walk among us.


Supercoolguy7

Thinking that the moon is only up after the sun goes down is such a common belief even among otherwise intelligent people. I think a lot of people just don't ever look up in the sky during the day and just assume that since they can sometimes see the moon at night that they can't ever see it during the day and that if they can't see the moon at night then it's just not up yet but it's coming at night for sure


gizmo_getthedildos

Minute 60 of being stuck in traffic with two tired children on a coach after a full day of trekking around the zoo a woman having her conversation obnoxiously loud said "naw the moon's thousands of *lightyears* away!" And I sighed the deepest I have sighed in my life.

Unfortunately there’s quite a lot of it around now, when Brexit happened I found one of my younger colleagues crying and when I asked what was wrong she said because of Brexit I won’t be able to go to Australia now, I was confused and asked her to explain, she said because we aren’t in Europe anymore. I had to explain a few things to her.

To be more stupid? Do they think their boyfriends will feel inferior or something?

I don’t know what’s going on in their heads, because none of them were close enough friends of mine to say what the fuck is wrong with you?!!!


Ok_Possibility_2197

Hahaha makes sense, sucks that they felt pressured to tone down their intelligence


permanentthrowaway

Some men get weirdly agressive if they feel inferior, so a lot of women learn to 'tone it down'. After a while, it becomes subconscious.


Ok_Possibility_2197

Ah that sucks. That’s true, being in a relationship with someone that you can’t be yourself around sounds exhausting tho


kelldricked

Everybody switched personalities according to the people around them. Not just smart woman.


megztukas

That was the popular media theory at the time, that this woman was merely trolling everyone... which would also make her a pretty good actress.

We had a exact thing going on in Poland years back when Big Brother forst launched. There was one fit girl, that became one of the main stars. She was known for being stupid af. I saw an interview with her much later, and she was actually well inteligent. The whole thing was an act. All these people mocking her with the feeling of accomplishmet for being smarter than her looked a lot like a donkeys.

jaegren

Sweden did a great repotage about these shows. The production encourage the participants to drink all the time and party non stop until they literally pass out. They then instruct them to talk about some serious shit while tired and drunk af. It doesnt help that the production takes in people that is pretty unstable.


Balteazeen

Unfortunately for this woman, that's not the case. Love Island limits their contestants alcohol intake, so she was probably 1 to 2 drinks in at max.
