Wow, so yeah, you obviously enrage people when you say something ridiculously dumb and behave like you know it better. That's just called being an asshole.

sharks are smooth. my uncle is a shark and he said so

[-] BeanGoblin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 8 months ago

Bullshit. Everyone knows sharks dont really exist. It's all a ploy by IKEA to sell more plushies.

[-] retrolasered@lemmy.zip 13 points 8 months ago

Everyone thinks ikea is swedish but its actually the dutch doing research and development for new lego but they pretend they are swedish so noone steals their designs

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

You think IKEA exists?

OK but you have to recognize that this is being an asshole in a different way. Don't do either of these things preferably

No, you don't understand.

First, you act like a moron

Then, you piss some people off

Well, seems like someone felt the need to compulsively correct a another's statement and establish their authority on the subject. They should really warn people about this..

[-] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Or maybe it's because the truth matters and spreading disinformation is bad.

I'm a female-passing (afab agender but that's beside the point) physicist. I do this when men (honest to god it's always been men so far) explain something to me that i obviously know better. Like for example they'll know I'm a physicist but explain to me that water boils at a lower temperature in the mountains or something like that. I'll just play a game to see just how dumb i can get them to think i am. Pretty dumb is usually the answer.

They reenact the "crying woman yelling at stubborn cat" meme perfectly.

I tend to adopt the view that my words aren't just distracting sounds that come from a hole in my face and try to extend the trust and courtesy to others.

I don't think it's generally very nice to say things we don't mean to wind people up. you can just say "I think you're being a wanker, pull your head in" instead of whatever this is.

[-] Technus@lemmy.zip 15 points 8 months ago

So glad I grew out of being a know-it-all. Now I just do it when I want to be an asshole.

Did you know that the Octopus (pluralized as octi) is the only species of amphibian to change its gender over the course of its lifepan?

[-] embed_me@programming.dev 8 points 8 months ago

I mean Nemo's dad did it too so idk

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 points 8 months ago

Confirmed: Nemo's dad is an octopus.

I have fixed this by becoming arrogant in the reverse way, unless I am the dumbest person in the room, I want to leave.
