    We joke about it, but I remember stupid yanks falling for something similar immediately after the World Trade centre attack

    As a country, their ignorance is matched only by their arrogance

      Like the flight where the ‘Karen’ notified the stewardess that a passenger was writing notes in a foreign language and was concerned he was a possible threat. Turned out he was doing math equations

        A mate of mine had a sister who did her PhD in genetics in the early 2000s.

        She went to a rally of stupid hippies, just to see if they had anything to actually say with their protests about whatever they were upset about at the time (Facebook and stuff didn’t exist then)

        After they ranted and raved about how genetic modification was terrible, and jerked each other off, she put her hand up and asked if any of the unwashed crowd could tell her what the letters in DNA stood for

        Silence. Not one of them had a fucking clue what they were actually arguing about

          Kinda a stupid gotcha to gatekeep with. Ask about a basic function such as “what are the 4 bases” and turn it into a teaching moment.

          There are still people alive who drink dhmo. But it’s close to 100% indeed.

      Yeah, our stupid people really broke the mold over here. They are painfully dumb, and trying to reason with them will actually damage your health.
