Very confidently wrong, poor reading comprehension, poor grammar, limited vocabulary, emoji gore, catch phrase/pop culture quotes/talking points repeated with no comprehension of what they're saying, clearly not aware of how many things in life work, religious regurgitation while being surprised everyone doesn't agree with them. Very easily impressed with basic factual statements, clearly thinking confidence is the main thing that makes someone correct. Thinks their mom telling they they are handsome is a valid point. Idk, that's all I got.
Depending on what you meant by "very easily impressed with basic factual statements" it could go either way. I'm an adult and I'm happy to admit I don't know a lot things, sometimes I've been stunned that what I believed was totally wrong and all it took was some to give me a basic fact to make me realise.

Ever since I was a wee flipflop I always liked to learn from my friends (and yes I was that gullible naive friend) but now even in my 20s itโs still fun to learn outside a classroom. I donโt have to worry about my terrible memory not keeping all the info, if it sticks it sticks
Fun fact: Australia is wider than the diameter of the moon.
Ankther fun fact! The Netherlands is smaller than all of Europe combined!

Happy Cake Day!
Lmao dude thatโs just people in general especially on forums
Thereโs also nothing wrong with people learning new info, no matter how simple it may seem. Thatโs kind of a pretentious/egotistical way to operate.
Most of this list is actually pretty garbage. Emojis? Using slang/catch phrases? This is basic social stuff.

Got one
What I wrote -- Very easily impressed with basic factual statements
What you think it means -- there's something wrong with people who are learning new things.
Does ''basic factual statements'' mean ''new information that someone is just now learning''. Can it also apply to information they already know, or believe is true? Can it also be referring to basic knowledge nearly everyone knows?
Does 'being very easily impressed' include a situation where someone reacts to information in a typical fashion? Does it exclude adults learning or recognizing factual information and responding with a simple agreement, such as 'yeah that's true'? Or is this an indication that an overreacting response is the dead giveaway?
Did the sentance make a claim something is wrong with being a child?
Did the sentence claim that learning new information is likewise something wrong?
Please write one 5 sentance paragraph explaining your opinion on the above two numbered questions. Proofreading will not be necessary.
Jfc no thanks bye dude
Bonus: can also be applied to boomers.
Boomers are just decrepit toddlers at this point anyway
โKnow why the call them baby boomers? Because all it takes is one little prick to their egos and boom! Youโve gotta baby!โ
Could be a new gameshow: Boomer or Toddler
Huh
Hexbear is an 8/10 on this scale
This is like reading a reverse horoscope - you've just thrown as many negative traits as you could think of at the wall, knowing at least a few will stick.
Nothing on your list couldn't also apply to an adult, especially those most privileged and entitled in society.
By these standards, most of my adult relatives are actually children.
It's like I tell my kids, an adult is just a child who got old. It's also why a lot of cultures have a concept of adulthood that has nothing to do with reaching sexual maturity alone.
So every boomer on facebook. Got it.
Those first two...and a couple others, also apply to a lot of adults I have had political conversations with the past several years...
