Someone argued that I was actually probably Russian like their grandfather, not Polish because Polish and Russian is both Slavic and therefore the DNA test and our culture is probably wrong and I was Russian the whole time.

Was playing a board game (I dont even remember which) and I had to give the name of a tropical place that starts with letter M that no one else would guess. I said Manila and this person I was playing with argued with me for 20 minutes (this was pre smartphone) that Manila isn’t tropical. I had to seriously find a book with a world map in it to show this person where the Philippines are located to prove that it is, indeed, tropical and honestly she was still unconvinced.
I played it off but I lost a lot of respect for my then girlfriend, who I was with, because I know she knew I was right but wouldn’t defend me because she didn’t want to take sides against her other friends. That was honestly the beginning of the end for us, that stupid fucking game night I didnt want to go to anyway lol
Things like that instantly make we want to escalate to putting money down to see how committed they are to the wrong answer.
Bet someone like that $100 and see how quickly they get flustered and look for a map.
I have a geographic one for you:
Friend: posts some statistics map
Me: Czechia is an interesting outlier here, weird.
Friend: [sic] its czechoslovakia, not chechnia
All countries/regions that start with “ch” sound are the same i guess. Also Czechoslovakia split in 1989.
