What Are Things You've Heard That Made You Facepalm?

Pretty much any Holywood movie scenario about space. (Don't even get me started on Interstellar)

I'm more annoyed at the 'nukes solve everything' thing in sci-fi movies.

Huge asteroid going to impact the earth? Nuke it! (Deep Impact/Armageddon)

The sun's energy output is dropping and the earth is freezing? Nuke it! (Sunshine)

Transdimenional rift is letting in gigantic monsters? Nuke it! (Pacific Rim)

Earth's core has stopped spinning? Nuke it! (The Core)

And so many more...

Here is one, a customer of my wife's cyber-cafe:

the customer: Miss please, your computer won't load internet.

my wife: what, you are sure? What website do you want to get to.

the customer: Facebook.

my wife: did you enter the URL correctly

the customer: I didn't even touch the keyboard. Shouldn't the computer do that automatically?

....

Yep that really happened. let's say that an hypersonic palm hit may head when my wife told me about it

Oh! an another one:

A person asked my wife this once : "how do you get to internet with a computer. I know how to do it with my phone but not with a computer".

still not made it up, really happened. Well that one was kind of "I can understand it" as phone are more common place than computer here where i live.

Anything from Vine. That website should be taken down for causing severe brain damage.

Oh, and when someone said that, "this program is like a downloadable GPU". He still wouldn't listen after I explained to him that you cannot download a GPU, at which point I gave up and linked him to downloadmoreram.com

Edit: Oh yeah, I'm a water bubble braintard now. Yipee.

This was found on a SpaceX video. I tried to explain to him what GPS was after he said that "space does not exist". Fact Core!

He might not have satellites and GPS down, but look at the positives! He's got Sporadic E propagation and Fox Hunting down!

After I asked him why, he said "Because I actually post constructive and interesting content"

Hey, that's me. You thought I wouldn't notice, huh?

I have never seen such loathsome behavior on the KSP community. Shame on you and facepalm for posting it here as "wow guys lok at dis nerd hes such a retdrd omg xd" instead of actually defending yourself. You remind me of someone who I don't like, nor would ever want to meet.

Also, about this..

Don't you think that's a little.. cruel? I mean, for the worst part, he didn't mention your name, that's at least good. I'm pretty sure he tried his best to respect you by not mentioning you in the image..

Was that reddit comment meant as a joke?

Yes it was. It was intended to be circlejerky to poke fun at the fact that it was the thousandth time I've seen "LE WOBBLY ROCKET MEME".

Poe's law applies...

Yes. It was a satire of other redditors I believe. (if you go to the link he talks about how he was joking)

I didn't notice that was mythbusters until it was pointed out.. thought that was a whiny sqeaker.. no offence intended

See above. He was trying to be exactly that.
