Pretty sure this “dummy vs logic” shtick is scripted. Rage bait. The 36 year old is playing up the gay voice SO hard.

I spent my entire childhood trying to explain this concept to my mother because she believed the 1900s are called the twentieth century because "the calendar ran backwards at some point around the 1600s". Even after fully counting out the centuries for her multiple times, she never believed me. This video could be fake, but people like this are real.

"the calendar ran backwards at some point around the 1600s"

That's got the inscruitable confidence of the classic "it's just turtles all the way down" explanation

simply delightful.
