30 Funny Times People Failed At Geography So Bad This Year You Could Hear The Internet Facepalm

Look, we’ve all been there. You decide to unleash your intellectual prowess on social media, a place universally revered for its high standards of intelligence. You’ve got a geography nugget that you’re sure will wow the masses. Only, it doesn’t. You didn’t just drop the ball; you threw it into another country—and mislabeled that country to boot.

Welcome to the Internet’s Hall of Shame, also known as r/facepalm, where even a basic grasp of geography can feel like an elective course at Harvard. Strap in, because the worldviews you’re about to see are flat-out hilarious—and not in the flat-earther way.

Some people can barely point out their own state on a map, yet they’re online asserting that Africa is a country or that the Eiffel Tower is in London. It’s almost poetic, really, the way these folks manage to be so confidently wrong.
