But oh boy, do they have one!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Yeah they shouldn't have one imo .

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I have seen drawings that say otherwise.

Didn't you read the comic? Seagulls have enormous ones.

Which makes me really wonder... who's the one with the low IQ again?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

5 more minutes of this, and I'll get really mad

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

That does it! Let's take this out onto the street and settle this

What other meaning could have "bite me." had in this context?

Steven Seagull :D

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

I've seen a similar joke on Cyanide & Happiness

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Forgive Steven, he has a very low verbal IQ. [...] He just takes everything you say literally.

The author seems to be avoiding mentioning autism, but since they're trying to reduce someone's likelihood to interpret things literally as a function of IQ scores the author ends up stil referencing autism, just misrepresenting it.

It is common for autistic people to have a relatively high verbal IQ and relatively low non-verbal IQ, yet still have a tendency to interpret things literally. The cause isn't IQ at all, it's autism.
