Things people pretend to know but in reality know shockingly very little - Its easier to pretend you are smart than to actually be smart.

Genitals. See the SRS Diaster thread. These kids don't have a clue how the male/female body works yet want to magically change gender like they see on Family Guy or some shit.

Roman history, particularly the fall of the western roman empire.

Eh, I can't get too annoyed with this since "Roman history" can be 1500+ years of history (depending on what you count) to be well-versed in. I've got a good grasp of the big events and then a passing knowledge of the rest.

Any artistic medium
Most self-professed film nerds, weebs and music fans probably only are experienced in their genre of preference. That goes just as much for anyone who professes to love older mediums, who mostly are kids trying to sound cool and/or people who grew up with a specific time trying to say how inferior everything is now compared to their generation. Music/film/literature advances at such a fast rate that it's impossible to be a general fan of any medium. Even if one becomes well-versed in one genre of one medium, they probably won't know where the true roots of it come from outside of some household names.
That's one autistic thing I advice fans grow out of. No matter how many albums you own or films you watch, you will still be a relative novice to the genre.

I could pick a topic purposefully to upset others, but instead will pick something more reasonable: language. Every native English speaker should know the differences between lie, lay, lying, laying, laid, lain, and other such tricky corners of the language, but they know this not. Even then, I thought I'd mastered English, but it was only when I properly started to learn another language that I realized how wrong I'd been. For a man to develop his language skills is akin to strengthening a limb which has gone unused, until it slowly enters daily life and becomes invaluable.

I'm shamefully ignorant of much of Roman history, public school mostly focuses on the Holocaust, but I've the excuse that I'll soon be able to read the original histories in the original Latin. Then the ignorance will fade away as not even a bad memory, for there's no shame in correcting ignorance.

How macroeconomics and monetary policy work. These retarded leftist niggers (figurative and literal) think they know how the government should spend trillions of dollars but they don’t even have a bank account. Or they are ebegging for someone to help them pay rent this month.

A personal favorite is any variation of women's oppression. I always love when I get some uppity broad explaining things like how unfair it was women couldn't work during the industrial revolution. As though they didn't or it was even desirable to work those hellish jobs. I swear to God most Americans think history began in 1950s America.

Some videos show that the younger crowd, not all of course, dont even know how many states there are. How many colonies there were. What country was involved in the French Revolution or even how many fucking MOONS we have. Some cant even read an analog clock, shit you are taught early in life almost by living experience alone.

The general IQ of the populace is frighteningly low so they may legit believe the Earth is only 2000 years old and that America only started 70 years ago.

In their fair defense, they are like vegetarian cats and dogs, it aint them that are calling the shots.

Its one thing retarded adults want that shit, but kids? I weep for them because they dont know any better and anyone that should is manipulating them because they themselves know no better at best or are malicious monsters at worst.

In fairness its the least studied area of Roman History. Everyone wants Caesar, Augustus or Trajan but most don't give a shit about anyone past Septimius Severus.

Yeah, I mean look at mainstream book biographies of Romans, and it's like 98% Cicero, Julius Caesar, and Augustus. Maybe you'll find a Marcus Aurelius, a Nero, or a Constantine in there, but those first three I listed are all anyone wants to read about for some reason.

I understand what you mean. I'm aware of the pricing of almost everything, but I still can't understand the pricing of gas. I would watch it trade on the stock market at a consistent price, I assumed all the refiners did shit similarily not severely affecting the margin, and yet on the road various outlets would have wildly differeing prices, and sometimes they'd be mere hundreds of feet from each other. So I never really understood that. So I was hoping someone could explain that to me. I'm just fucking at a loss here, to me it just doesn't make sense.

The English language. So many people have English degrees or claim to have done well in English class (and believe me they'll let you know) but in reality they don't know or care about English. Their grammar and spelling are subpar and their writing is made of cliches. If you asked them basic facts like why English has silent letters or what language families make up its vocabulary they'll give you the cattle stare. Few can tell you what family it belongs to (West Germanic), the most basic fact about any tongue.

Of course, English degrees are consolation prizes for midwits who never chose a career path, because Western schooling sucks. English class (or your equivalent) is spent memorizing grammar and spelling that you already know and will always know. Then you're forced to read handpicked, brainwashing books and write cookie-cutter essays. Instead, you should be learning what your native language is and what makes it great, what other languages are like (basic linguistics), and how storytelling and communication work.

Aquariums! Just because a goldfish can survive in a ten gallon tank doesn’t mean it’s ok to put them in one. It’s cruel and results in a deformed fish being burned by it’s own ammonia output. Let your goldfish live a happy life in a 30-50 gallon tank (that’s for ONE goldfish) or don’t get a goldfish. Bettas should have at least five gallons. Don’t buy iridescent sharks or common plecos unless you’re willing to buy a monster tank.

Buy a water test kit and cycle your tank before putting fish in! So many people complain their fish die the first week, it’s because the tank isn’t cycled.

Society understands that it’s wrong to keep a dog in a tiny cage, but it’s socially acceptable to keep a fish in an undersized tank. The fish become physically stunted and deformed. Everything a person needs to know about basic fishkeeping can be learned from their phone, but most people choose ignorance (and unhappy/dead fish).

- Cars and engines, go to any car show and there'll always be old guys talking about other peoples cars and engines as if they personally built them.

- Film making, tons of people seriously underestimate how much time, planning and organization goes into making even a short low budget film and have it turn out to be somewhat decent. Yet so many young "creative" types think they can just throw a film together like its no trouble at all.

- Parenting, oddly a lot of people who don't have kids and express no desire to have kids like to lecture people on how to raise their kids.

- Economics has been mentioned already but the fact that most economists are usually wrong in their predictions just shows that even they don't know what they're talking about most of the time.

- How to deal with a mentally ill family member, its not as easy as doping them up or sticking them in a home.

Religion and philosophy lol
Many beleivers and non-beleivers haven't even opened up a holy book yet
Non-beleivers throw away religion without getting into it because it makes them feel smart and they need to show how heckin smarterino they are
Beleivers beleive because they haven't read the holy books
In the end non-abrahamic chads win again. Except bh*ddists (non-Vajrayana)
