Things People Know Are Stupid & Do Anyway
We all have a secret collection of bad habits that feel like a comedy sketch on endless repeat. Deep down, we know they are ridiculous, yet somehow the human brain refuses to reject them. Whether it is hitting snooze like it is an Olympic sport or trusting just one more online purchase, stupidity always finds a way to survive.
Generations have done it proudly. Boomers chain-smoked, Gen X microwaved foil, millennials overshared everything, and Gen Z still eats Tide Pods for clout. The ridiculous legacy of nonsense is eternal.
So buckle up, because here are the dumb traditions humanity simply cannot quit.

Snack bags whisper lies about self-control, leading to crumbs, regret, and greasy fingerprints.
