Stupidbait

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 2: “Europe is a country, are you dumb?”
Person 1: “🥰nice try sweaty, i can see you’re trying to stupidbait me🥰”

Supreme Stupidity

1. An act of extreme stupidity by the U.S. Supreme Court.

2. An attempt to undermine democracy or destroy human rights through judicial fiat.

3. What happens when a bunch of clueless lawyers pretend to be God.

Notable examples include:

-- The recent (2010) decision to allow unlimited corporate and interest group contributions to U.S. political campaigns.

-- The Buck vs. Bell ruling that permitted forced sterilization of the mentall ill. Justice Holmes said at the time: “Three generations of imbeciles are enough.”

-- The Dred Scott case that invalidated restrictions on slavery, while mandating that all African-Americans be treated as "property" in the eyes of the law.

-- Plessy v. Ferguson, which formally legalized segregation, Jim Crow laws and minority disenfranchisement throughout the nation.

The highest court in the land committed another act of Supreme Stupidity in January 2010 when it opened the floodgates to unlimited corporate cash in the election process. Can you say "plutocracy?" Sure you can!

Plot Induced Stupidity 

Plot Induced Stupidity, or PIS, is when characters don't use their abilities or skills to the fullest extent as shown before, even within their personality ranges, for the sake of the story plotline. It makes lesser powered characters an actual challenge against higher powered characters in the comics.

Examples of PIS include Flash stories lasting longer than three panels, or Toy Man as a threat to Superman. Standard CBR fights exempt the contestants from PIS unless otherwise specified.

malignant stupidity 

A disease marked by a level of lack of intelligence and common sense so deep, so aberrant, so impossibly incurable by any means whatsoever (conventional or otherwise) eventually leading the afflicted individual to perform some act ensuring demise and subsequent enormous amounts of ridicule by society at large for decades to come.

In cases where only the malignantly stupid subject him/herself falls victim to an act leading to self-extinction, nomination for a Darwin Award is in order, having removed themselves as potential polluters of the gene pool and propagation of malignant stupidity in future generations.

However, in cases where an uninvolved or otherwise innocent party/parties has the misfortune of being in close proximity to said act, resulting in death or injury to said party, the afflicted individual's qualification for a Darwin Award has been annulled even if they themselves died in commission of said act.

1. Having suffered from malignant stupidity since childhood, one could hear an audible sigh of relief from the gene pool the day Steve decided it was a GOOD idea to use dynamite to make holes for ice fishing; he EARNED that Darwin Award, the hard way.

2. Steve lost his chance forevermore at receiving a Darwin Award when it was discovered that his brother Jerry was fishing on the lake that day as well, unable to flee for cover before the load exploded, cracking the ice, and Jerry fell in. It is truly a shame that rescuers were unable to find his body until the spring melt, although they did manage to scrape bits and pieces of Steve off the ice.
