The internet never misses a chance to roast someone who’s confidently wrong, and this year, many of my fellow Americans didn’t quite hit the mark.
Whether it’s wild geography takes, questionable history lessons, or boldly incorrect facts, these moments sparked reactions that were just as brutal as they were funny.
It’s the kind of content that makes you cringe, laugh, and secondhand-embarrass all at once.
This roundup brings together some of the best instances where ignorance met its match and got a well-deserved reality check.
From sarcastic replies to perfectly timed comebacks, it’s proof that the internet doesn’t forgive—and it definitely doesn’t forget.
Keep going for hilariously misguided moments that got roasted into oblivion.
