What was the Stupidest question ever asked here? What was the stupidest post ?

This one time, a poster asked about the most stupid post…

Wasn’t there a post by a girl asking her mum to call her or something like that? Vague memories..

Has anyone ever even gone so far as...

The best thing ive ever seen on boards was some guy pretending to be a girl, invited another bloke around for some midnight fun. I think it all started on boards. Guy had driven a long way to show up.. It was all recorded on video. He was begging at the door to come in. It was a very different community back then. A bit more wild west. Any pranks were allowed. Was really fun.

YEAS!!! ah they were very funny time. Everything on the site was just taking the mickey. There was a lot less polarization that lasted more than a debate. A booming social scene too. I met many good chaps and girls through the site back then.

I remember someone trying to say that settled people were responsible for dumping rubbish in halting sites and that's why they were always covered in filth. Not only the stupidest post I've ever read, but one of the most dumbfoundingly stupid thoughts ever conveyed to words in history.

Gregor Samsa

I remember a thread many years ago in the Motors forum about road safety. Someone posted their belief that every road in the country should be made dual carriageway with a barrier down the middle to separate traffic driving in opposite directions to reduce collisions. It obviously sounds like a joke suggestion, as it's completely and utterly unfeasible, unnecessary and daft, but in the context of the thread, it seemed to be serious. Seems they were a learner driver with not much experience of driving, or life.

Another poster in early 2020 - one of the paranoid wingnut types either here or in CA - posted in all seriousness that they had correctly predicted the crash in 2007/08 and that they knew for sure that there was going to be an even bigger one in November 2020. I think they had it down to a specific week. They had a number of vague and questionable reasons as to why this was going to happen - specifically unrelated to the pandemic, as I recall. Anyone who questioned them was dismissed as a complete fool for denying the inevitability of their prophecy. Obviously, it never happened.

I think one of the problems is that it's very difficult to separate out the legitimately stupid from the wind-up merchants.

Notmything

Realitykeeper? Always predicting doom and a return to barter or some such nonsense.

Some of the stuff in the Conspiracy forum can be pretty out there.

But the winner for me is a repeat re-regger in the astronomy forum who keeps posting about the phases of the planets or something, science being wrong etc

I remember around summer 2020 someone posted that Covid was gone from our society.

It took 8 posts for traveller comment to be made. I remember when every boards thread didn't descend into this.

In Summer 2020, a good few people had got it into their heads that lockdown was a cure for covid rather than a temporary measure to give hospitals time to prepare and not get suddenly overwhelmed .

You don't think it was a stupid comment?

The OP and myself must have the same mindset. I was thinking about posting a inane tread , just to see where it went. 🤔

It actually does happen. I knew someone who used to dump his rubbish - and other people's rubbish that he collected for money - at a halting site. Fridges, washing machines, mattresses, you name it. He wasn't a Traveller himself. His logic was that the place would regularly have to be cleared up by the council regardless because the people who lived there were at it too.

was it an active halting site, as in with people residing in it? Just an assumption but I'd imagine these sites are occupied for the most part so I'd also imagine it would be extremely difficult to dump a heap of stuff unnoticed, especially regularly. Halting sites are also quite secure, they are not open accessible spaces. Find this very hard to believe.

Everything ever posted by Mr Feg ???

Most of the covid stuff is fairly stupid ......

For me, some of the most stupidest posts I have ever read are the sort that make you question if they've ever left their house at all. You know, those no cop on, not living in reality posts. You get a lot of that in here tho.

Those were more common over on digital spy forums UK in my experience

Yes, it was at the entrance to an active halting site, where the residents' wheelie bins were stored. Aside from a height restriction, it was completely accessible. He'd pull up late at night, dump his rubbish and leave without ever getting caught.

You can’t get any more stupid than that.

I'd be very skeptical of that, to say the least.

Someone once asked 'how do make a post on boards?'

My 44 year old son spends 15 hours a day playing man child games in his bedrooom is this normal

Mr. CooL ICE

Had a look at my old threads started and almost died from cringe. Going by the time of day I posted this, and the year being one where I was studying, I know what state of mind I was.

Is it true that farmers who have 'show cows' use washing powder, like Daz or Persil, to get their cows' appearance up to show standard?

Also claimed on the MMA forum that Ronda Rousey could beat most male bantamweights. Moronic comment that still managed to age like milk

Hotblack Desiato

Don't be too hard on yourself, you were a seven year veteran of Boards at that stage, your earlier work must have been something else 😁

Wasn't there a post in Motors about a cigarette lighter or something?

breezy1985

Anyone (and there have been a fair few) who complains about big business or the deep state spying on them and claiming to live off grid.

All posted on an internet forum.

Add to that anyone who believes the 5g myth but is addicted to posting on the internet.

Some said she beat Mayweather. Got knocked out by a girl in a few seconds.

I'm going with Connor were silly posts.
