30 Geography Fails That Made The Internet Cringe So Bad
The majority of us have been there: you publish something online that you are 100 percent certain is the whole truth... only to discover that you were wrong. You come to the realization that you are completely wrong, of all places, on the internet!
Your error has now been immortalized on the r/facepalm subreddit, which is known as the Internet Hall of Infamy. And the community has a ton of big mistakes being made by different people.
However, few of them are as upsetting to witness as when someone brags about having "deep" geographic knowledge. The posts you're about to read may cause anyone, even one with a basic understanding of geography, to lose a little faith in humanity.
Back in school, every one of us had our favorite and least favorite subjects. Some liked biology, literature, and history while others detested math and even geography.
The topic itself was quite fascinating. Who doesn't like learning about volcanoes, diverse cultures, and making maps in class, after all?
But a lot of this enjoyment depends on the teacher. Some were really severe and gave you terrible grades if you didn't memorize every significant geographic site on the planet.
Others, on the other hand, made the topic entertaining, relatable, and—well—not a chore. So go ahead and get your safari hats, scroll down, and enjoy.

The best fails online are collected on the well-known subreddit r/facepalm and yes, geography fails. You'd think these people would have at the very least looked up the information on Google, but they didn't.
They proceeded based on the knowledge in their heads, and it completely backfired. Take a peek around the next time you're on social media and decide for yourself.
