The act of pretending to be really stupid to farm engagement. Like those game ads where the person playing keeps failing intentionally or someone really confidently commenting the wrong answer to a question a third grader would know.
Distinct from, but also similair to ragebaiting because both revolve around farming engagement, but ragebaiting revolves around the perpetrator pretending to have an opinion which contradicts yours by seeming really outlandish. Stupidbaiting meanwhile revolves around just pretending to not have any media literacy skills.
Most people on the internet aren’t half as stupid as they pretend they are.
Person 1: “Name 3 European countries.”

Person 1: “🥰nice try sweaty, i can see you’re trying to stupidbait me🥰”
It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.

Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.
Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.
