I’ve been noticing a wild pattern lately, I couldn’t tell if it’s either a ragebait or not but every single one of them seems quite confident with their wrong answer… Well most of the time they’re likely schrodinger asshole.

Some people in most social media (whether it’s tiktok, instagram or youtube) always say the most stupidest thing in a comment section, and most of the time they spread misinformation and believed those misinformation without doing any proper research which made me concerned.

One time someone argued with me that intel management engine on 2008-2010 chipset has a “crazy spyware backdoor” and I explained to them that most 2008-2010 chipset lack network stacking in order to be a proper backdoor and since those older chipset lack network stacking physically and needed vPro edition of the chip for network stacking.

I did some research more on why they believed that information and I found a popular tiktok video that went across my feed a few months ago which contained misinformation and did not clarify the vPro part.

Someone even admitted in my comment section that they’re doing research on the tiktok search bar… tiktok search engine isn’t even reliable for researching!

I seriously think I should take a break from social media, because how come these type of people even exist without any instinct of researching properly? Have you encountered people like this too? Please tell me I’m not the only one whose encountering these type of people.

    Stupid how though?

    like make jokes, or post wrong information, or argue incessently from from a different set of facts than you?

    stupid comes in a variety of different ways.

    Perhaps you are talking more about how folks develop patently delusional/false thought patterns/beliefs and propagate them?

    a lot of the time it’s simply that we are different and we regard those who have different beliefs/preferences/choices as stupid, and they think the same about us.

      Stupid like accusing others of making alt accounts to talk to themselves when they’re clearly different people?
