I fucking hate it when people act stupid just to get attention.

Like people want to babysit a fucking adult and hold their fucking hand.

There seems to be a whole genre of content providers who record themselves saying something incredibly stupid - like "How come we're celebrating America's 250th birthday when America is 2026 years old?" or "We could travel to the sun if we went at night."

These people are NOT THAT STUPID. They seem to be looking for attention in the form of comments on their post. One lady got hundreds of thousands of comments, likes and dislikes for a video she produced in which she complained that her son's school refused to accept that the boy identified as a cat. She was good, too. People bought her shtick hook, line and sinker.

Yeah, like were dinosaurs real and if they were, why aren’t there more still alive? And my all time favorite, how can the world be billions of years old when it is only 2026, wouldn’t that make the world only 2 thousand and 26 years old? Then the “flat earthers start chiming in with their nonsense.
