The stupidest thing on the internet
The award goes to… YAHOO! Answers.
How does it work? You post a question, and anyone, regardless of their actual background, can chime in. Then, everyone can vote on which answer they think is right.
The result is predictable: every question is hastily answered by multiple users who have know idea what they are talking about. And nobody can be bothered to vote either.
Q: What color is Yak’s milk?
Answer 1: It’s pink. Everyone knows that.

That would make for a good gameshow on NPR (it’s called Whatdya Know), but for amassing and distributing useful knowledge, you really can’t get any more Schildburgermässig than this.
