Fun fact that man was so confident that lemon juice would make his face invisible that when he was shown the security footage of the bank he insisted that it was edited as it could not possibly be real

[personman]

Man was so dumb that two guys did a full study on how dumb he was

[dragonfell]

"You're doing that wrong"

*_"THEY KNOW"_*

[bluehydra]

Imagine you make a plan so stupid that it drives two psychologists to make an entire study on why exactly anyone would consider it was a good idea.

What if you’re confident and then imposter syndrome kicks in with maybe you’re too confident and it’s the Dunning Kruger is this just schrödinger’s confidence

“But I wore the juice…”

— actual quote by Wheeler upon getting discovered along with a good kick like “It’s ok. I actually have a face. It’s just invisible. Now put the money in the bag.”

‘The best lack all conviction, while the worst
are full of passionate intensity.’

The (heavily simplified) explanation for why this happens is that people who are uneducated about a topic generally don't know how much there is to know, so they assumed that they've got it down. People who know a lot about a topic are generally much more aware of the scope, so they are constantly aware of everything they don't know.

Start a career in programming or IT and you’ll get to experience both, simultaneously, as you oscillate wildly between the two.

"Can you describe the robber ma'am?" "Well, he smelled like.... like lemons?"

[JustinLaw]

BUT I WORE THE JUICE!!
Actually quote from the dude as he was being arrested

[lordkameguru]

God I fucking hate imposter syndrome it hurts so bad. Because you know you're bullshitting yourself, that you're selling yourself short, but you just can't be rational about it as hard as you try to just push through.

But has anyone noticed the people most able to be described as embodying the Dunning-Kruger effect are also the most likely to immedietely or generally use it as an attack on others?

[bodaciouschad]

Good thing I wrote my comment in lemon juice- now my phone is invisble!

[Siffle]

Fun Fact: when interrogating McArthur, he said, and I quote, “But I put on the juice.”

[Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]

"How someone could be so wrong"
I know that too well, it's truly astonishing

[logangagnepain]

Its what I always tell myself "if you think youre bad at it, youre probably fine... you should still get better, though"

[The_Big_Jay]

You're robbing a bank, and suddenly lemon juice is on you face.

*You never asked for this.*
