You could bet that changing a car's hubcap isn't rocket science. That is, until you saw a woman making a massive meal of it in a viral clip online.

The scenes in the stupefying material shared by X page @InternetH0F were enough to leave an entire online community questioning human intellect.

Woman changes car's hubcap by ripping it off

An apt caption accompanying it read:

“Can we just go back to calling stupid people stupid?”

The 18-second video, with the description "I'm just a girl", captures someone, who is a woman, doing her best to rip a hubcap from a stationary car.

She can be seen doing the most as she initially hunkers down in the squat position and tries to yank it out.

The person filming is heard egging her on:

“This is how to change a hubcap part 1 … go. Go!”

The girl is then heard grunting as she proceeds into the futile attempt by pulling with all her might.

The camera pans to a new hubcap, still in its packaging, on top of the car's boot.

The lousy effort comes to a head as the decorative disk, held in place by nuts, eventually breaks in half after she conjures the bright idea of pressing down her full weight by standing on it with one foot.

Effort renders netizens bamboozled

Online users had plenty to say about the material, which, by now, is clear was made for content.

It garnered over 400,000 hits within the first four hours of its posting.
