At some point in our lives, we’ve all felt we were absolutely right about something, only to find out we couldn’t be more wrong. It’s a classic human experience. But some people take it to the next level, confidently declaring their “facts” with the kind of conviction that would make you think they wrote the book on it.
Thankfully, the internet is here to capture these glorious moments of being confidently incorrect, and there’s even a whole Reddit forum dedicated to it. You’d think getting called out would make these folks rethink their stance, but nope—most just double down on the wrongness.
From boldly claiming that the moon glows to proving how awful they are at math, these moments of misguided confidence are pure gold. And while it’s all in good fun, it’s also a reminder that sometimes, it’s okay to admit we’re wrong—especially when the alternative is being confidently incorrect on the internet for everyone to see.
