The 35 dumbest things said on the internet
 
I don't know if they're really the dumbest. But they are definitely dumb.

And these people are allowed to drive and vote.

And procreate.

BigV 01-25-2013 11:43 AM

but not that fetus. to be fair, the fetus refrained from comment.

footfootfoot 01-25-2013 12:23 PM

Exactly 0% of water is celery.

I suspect a lot of that stuff is people being dumb sounding for comedic effect. Maybe I mean I hope...

DanaC 01-25-2013 01:28 PM

Hahahahahaha


Love the temperature taking

And they didn't even touch on politics... except Ben Franklin. :rolleyes:

Sundae 01-25-2013 03:17 PM

They're all in English (and I'll hazard American English from some of the clues).

So there's probably dumber things out there. Every language that has access to the internet has internet dumb-arses (appalling grammar but I think you get me).
As do those who don't have internet, but we don't get to judge them.

ZenGum 01-25-2013 06:01 PM

Well that explains the recent weather.

toranokaze 01-25-2013 10:16 PM

I have an theory that people can act extra stupid at times.

xoxoxoBruce 01-25-2013 10:17 PM

I have a theory they ain't all acting. :rolleyes:

Nirvana 01-25-2013 10:46 PM

I am shocked they only listed 35

I did like the 'ovary' act :D

Hang on ... some water is celery, isn't it? Celery is (I dunno, say...) 80% water. That water, the stuff that makes up the celery, kind of "is" celery.

The way water is in celery is not the way water is in a bottle - not topologically inside it, but metaphysically as one of its constituents.

Some water is celery, but not much. Thankfully.

Trilby 01-26-2013 07:11 AM

the whole water/celery thing reminds me of that riddle about the cucumber being 90% water or whatever and no body could answer it but tw did. He got it right. I forget the riddle....he never did get his prize, though. Just as well, I wouldn't be able to stand all his typing away whilst I was doing the deed.

Trilby 01-26-2013 07:14 AM

the riddle was something like this:

On a sunny morning, a greengrocer places 200 kilograms of cucumbers in cases in front of his shop. At that moment, the cucumbers are 99% water. In the afternoon, it turns out that it is the hottest day of the year, and as a result, the cucumbers dry out a little bit. At the end of the day, the greengrocer has not sold a single cucumber, and the cucumbers are only 98% water. How many kilograms of cucumbers has the greengrocer left at the end of the day?

Water takes the SHAPE of the given container, not water BECOMES part of the given container.

In the same way cars have doors, but a car isn't a door or house is made of wood, wood are made from trees but trees are not houses.

Crimson Ghost 01-26-2013 09:41 PM

And houses are just places for our stuff.

BTW, I got shoes on, but I ain't walking.

That's the in-a-bottle relationship. The metaphysical constituent relationship is different. The water does become part of the celery.

Cars "have" doors. Celery "partly is" water. These relations are different.

You can have a bottle without water, a car without doors, a house without wood, but you cannot have celery completely without water.

DanaC 01-27-2013 05:55 AM

Celery is partly made of water. As are humans. A percentage of the world's water is in celery. A percentage in humans.

You can have a bottle without water, a car without doors, a house without wood, but you cannot have celery completely without water.

Similarly, you could ask, what percentage of the world's oxygen is water?

ZenGum 01-27-2013 05:08 PM

So, what percentage of the world's oxygen is celery?

The water resides within the celery's cell walls, it is not in solution and can be removed, for example:

If a grocer had a box with 100 pounds of celery that was 99% water and the next day the celery had lost so much water it was only 98% water how many blowjobs would the former Brianna have given for the correct answer.

IOW I reject your celery water conflation.

There exits desiccated powered celery.
Powered celery is celery
There is no water in powered celery.
Therefore celery can exists without water.

ZenGum 01-30-2013 09:17 PM

Would you say that mummified people are still people?

Powdered celery is a product derived from dead celery, but it is not in esse celery. Celery is a living thing, for starters.

BigV 01-30-2013 09:39 PM

is it still living when I'm eating it?

if it's not, is it no longer celery?

footfootfoot 01-31-2013 11:07 AM

A maple tree is a tree, sawn into boards it is no longer a tree but it is now maple boards. Still maple, just not a tree.

When I eat bacon, I digest it, and it becomes one with my body. Am I bacon?

footfootfoot 01-31-2013 11:15 AM

yes. now jump into that frying pan.

If you eat the celery in your Bloody Mary while you sit in first class waiting for a plane to take off from a treadmill...

don't you have a tiny-toothed titty-tiger to be complaining about?!?! You don't? Are you sure she's not just on the other side of the tree?

Chocolatl 02-01-2013 07:46 AM

Huh???

glatt 02-01-2013 08:11 AM

I think you weren't around for the whole squirrel vs. hunter debate. It was worse than the plane on a treadmill one.

Chocolatl 02-01-2013 08:18 AM

Oh, geeze. I'll be glad I missed that one, then. :)

glatt 02-01-2013 08:47 AM

sorry

:D

footfootfoot 02-01-2013 11:10 AM

Worse? Surely you mean better. I think we need a new thread and a poll

If a shark swims clockwise around a squirrel holding celery, how much of the Earth's water is contained inside the passengers on the plane?

Show all your work.

glatt 02-01-2013 11:44 AM

Holy Cellar memes, Batman!

footfootfoot 02-01-2013 01:02 PM

Please tell me you are not doing that while Beans is asleep and you should be resting.

Aliantha 02-04-2013 07:34 PM

I just read all those dumb things and now I feel much better about myself. :) I think I'll go check my BP, and then eat some celery. Will that then mean that the level of water in me is higher, or am I just part celery then? Hmmm...I'm so confused now.
