10 People Who Were So Wrong, And Got So Burned For It

Have you noticed how it seems harder and harder for people to admit that they’re wrong, or that research has changed their opinion? Like, I definitely don’t know everything and have for sure changed my thoughts on things when I’ve realized the information I had was faulty.

I don’t think it’s that hard, but some people surely seem to think that it is.

These 10 people probably didn’t change their tunes, but they did likely have to take some time at home to deal with these burns.

5. Not a good look, Amazon.

Especially for the “news” division.

Amazon News doesn’t know the difference between State government and Federal government.

4. I think human biologists might disagree.

Also psychologists. And human beings with souls.

3. That’s not how this works.

Maths are hard, though.

Thats not how monitor size is measured 😬

2. This seems like a bit of a stretch.

Even for an anti-vaxxer.

TERF biology at it’s finest.

1. No, that’s not what they meant.

It’s called a proper noun.

Fastly is the name of the provider 🤦‍♂️

I mean, some of these were so rough it almost made me cringe, y’all.

What’s a time someone in your life was both so sure of themselves and so wrong at the same time? Tell us in the comments whether or not you corrected them and how it went!
