Is this the dumbest article in the history of the Internet?

Buzzfeed is no longer satisfied with just creating pointless clickbait articles, so now they're attempting to satirize their own pointless clickbait articles in an attempt to compete with actual sites that satirize their pointless clickbait articles because Buzzfeed literally does not have any idea what their value to society is besides providing advertising a place to exist.
The more you try to understand, the closer you come to brain death.
Clickhole already has a monopoly on the 'satirizing clickbait' market. Buzzfeed should leave the humor to the masters and get back to producing traditional, 'vanilla' clickbait (that Clickhole can then satirize - it's the circle of life!)

Imagine the writers life for a second. Probably spent 4 years and 100k getting a journalism degree only to be writing articles about words she just made up on the spot..

If you're actually laughing then the article was definitely intended for you.

I don't think that's good news, Jim.

I can just imagine the writer taking this to the Buzzfeed CEO and him doing this.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
One of the article links on the side is misspelled as well ('warn' instead of 'warm'), don't know if that's an accident or some great synergy.

Now imagine that same person doing a relatively brilliant investigative journalism piece that gets read by 100 people while this article gets an audience of a thousand times that size.
She has since posted a new list kinda like this one...

Know what?
At first I thought to myself "no I don't think he has found the dumbest article on the Internet...but let me take a look."
And then I read it.
Ohh my God it may be... it really may be the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

I thought he was a manopus and had eight computers for each tentacle?
That's what I thought.
When I saw the article title I thought it was going to just be some silly pedantic article about food names that are misnomers or something. No way could something like that be the dumbest article on the internet, right?
I gave Buzzfeed too much credit. Yes, this is the dumbest article on the internet.
