On July 5, Reddit user u/bost724 asked fellow Redditors who are part of the r/AskReddit Community, “What was your “This person is on another level of stupid” moment?””
In an instant, the Reddit thread went quickly viral and as of July 12, has almost 25,000 responses. While I’m pretty almost every single one of us have experienced moments where we realized how stupid of some of our friends, peers, and/or even family members can be, all of these stories listed here (and ones from the Reddit thread that didn’t make the cut for this article) will have you either stunned, lost for words, shaking your head in disbelief, or rolling on the floor in laughter, to name a few different reactions.
Now, without further adieu, let’s take a look down below and read the following 15 Stories Depicting Moments Where People Realized “This Person Is On Another Level of Stupid”
“Back when the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster happened, we were discussing how the reactor had failed in a science class. 5 minutes into the conversation a girl piped up and said, “I don’t see what the big deal is. Why can’t we just regrow it?”
She dead ass thought a nuclear power plant was… A plant!”

“At the beginning of the pandemic, a friend freaked out to hear that there was a covid case an hour away (meaning someone an hour’s drive away had been diagnosed).
She thought she should get in her car and drive the other direction to keep ahead of it because she thought [COVID-19], the disease, was approaching like a wave of zombies and was an hour from reaching her.”

“Dated a guy~ we watched TITANIC…. he thought the movie was stupid because the boat sank. It wasn’t believable. You can’t recover from that. Ever.”

“I worked at a meat desk for a summer job, and a woman came in and asked if we had any meat without spices or sauces. She then proceeded to tell us that “the doctor” had said that her dogs got sick because she kept feeding them pizza and they couldn’t handle the spices. She then said “oh but they love pizza so much, I feel bad for them. I’m probably still gonna feed them pizza.””

“My friend is allergic to walnuts. One day, he made this sandwich in our college dorm. It had walnuts garnished on top of the bread. i then remember him telling me “oh look there’s walnuts on here” and proceeds to eat the entire sandwich. (At the time I didn’t know he was allergic). I leave to shower and when I come back there are two paramedics in our dorm taking him out on a stretcher. The following day I asked what happened to which he replies something along the line “I accidentally ate some walnuts which I’m allergic to, and by the time I went to get a Benadryl, my throat had started to close and I couldn’t swallow it so I had to call 911”. I was just utterly shocked how he even let this entire situation happen. I really couldn’t believe it. He had known there were walnuts on the bread and still ate it?! College days, am I right?
Edit: He knew he was allergic to walnuts but he’s very careless so ig it was one of those yolo moments. luckily I don’t think he did that ever again.”

“In 8th grade art class we were taking about famous painter and someone brought up Michelangelo. A girl in the back said (paraphrasing) “Michelangelo isn’t real, he’s a turtle”. The entire class collectively face-palmed.”
–Redditor Paperjam09
“I’m an identical twin, and have been asked all manner of utterly ridiculous questions about it throughout my life. But I think the stupidest was when a girl once asked me “do you ever get yourselves mixed up with each other?” I responded “Are you asking me if I ever sometimes think I’m my brother?” she replied, “Yeah.”
No. I don’t.”

“My mom’s friend was adopting a baby from China. After the friend returned home with her baby she was on the phone with my mom. The baby was crying in the background. My mom later told me, “The Chinese baby’s cry sounded just like a regular baby’s!” She was legit shocked. I guess she thought they cried differently since they were born in a different country.”

“I used to work with a girl who was sweet but so dumb. We were in a meeting once and somehow someone mentioned baked ham. My manager said “Ugh I hate ham. It looks like human flesh.” The girl I mentioned was sitting next to me and looked horrified and whispered “Does ham really come from people?””

“A girl in my neighborhood denied spying on me and my friends then proceeded to list all the weird shit we had done over the past few days.”
