I don't think I can pick the absolute dumbest. I'm sure to forget something. One of the dumbest things I heard recently was in an argument about abortion. A guy was arguing that abortion should be illegal. When asked what he suggests should be the penalty for abortion, he said it wouldn't happen because it would be illegal

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

All the dumb that I hear just completely outstrips my memory capabilities.
Indigenous people in Canada believe a giant Sasquatch creature called Sabe is real. Really real. Give me a fucking break guys.
E: oh what, you think that indigenous people are special and deserve some kind of kid gloves for their idiotic superstitious beliefs? It's in every culture, stop being racist.
This comic that puts communism in the same boat as sexual orientation, gender and race, as if people are born communist. I thought it was pretty stupid. Other people don't seem to mind it for some reason

EDIT: If you downvote, be cool and leave a comment. Am I not getting something? Is the comic sarcastic? Or are you just a butthurt communist? Or perhaps this is yet another American thing I'm too Eastern European to understand. Lots of Americans seem to think communism is fabulous. But, you know... Americans seem to believe a lot of bullshit, so...
Especially bullshit they've had no contact with. They also like to condescend to people who have had contact with said things. Not a good look. Makes them look really fucking stupid. Kinda like telling an astronaut the earth is flat
And, again, I fucking hate communists piggybacking on progressive issues. You weren't fucking born communist. You made a choice. If you get backlash for it that is entirely your fucking problem
