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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
