It feels like 30% of Americans will consistently give whatever they think the wrong answer is. In US polling, 70% is basically everyone.

30% of Americans think chocolate milk comes from brown cows. There are a lot of absolute morons out there.

The study you're presumably referencing actually is said to quote it at 7%. So great news, there are about a quarter as many morons as you thought!

The other great news is that, the Innovation Center For US Dairy (the source of our famous chocolate milk study) wasn't done asking and answering serious journalistic questions!

Thanks for bringing this group to my attention. Their rigorous and thoughtful work is crucial because as we all know, if the questions are insane, the answers don't matter.

Thanks! I considered looking the true stat up but it was just too silly and I couldn’t be bothered. This was even better than looking it up myself because now you gave us bonus silliness.

I love that cows eat chocolate because it’s good for them. That made my day. I’ll try to forget about the whole industrial farming nightmare behind it though…

I've been using this handle for the last like seven years, and I'm genuinely delighted that it's finally funny

Don’t you think you should be Fully_Adjusted by now?

70% of people didn't vote for democracy so Trump will rule again.

"Democracy is when you vote for my guy or else. Change the voting system so you can vote for your guy but still have your vote count against bad guy? FUCK YOU!"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Valid complaint but bad framing. It's not in the interests of the two parties to change the voting system, so they're never going to make it an option. You want that, you'll have to stop asking politely.

If billionaires didn't exist, nobody would want to murder them

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Given that's what the killer was explicitly pointing out with the engraved bullets...WTF are the other 30% thinking

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My guess is a coin toss between peoples whos mental process went "murder bad, end process" or people who would happily take a turn driving the orphan crushing machine.

In either case, morons... Nuanced opinions are allowed, and that seems where the majority has landed, if they are a bit inconsistent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

or people who ~~would happily~~ are totally due to take a turn driving the orphan crushing machine.

(It’s not like a population would work poverty wages for decades if there weren’t a decent chance of driving a little orphan crushing)

0.2% blamed Luigi out of self preservation.

30.8% responded "boots taste yummy"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

And only 14% think it had no influence. Given that group is going to contain the folk who think all deaths are god's will or that the universe is acausal that isn't too bad. Could be lower, but not bad.

If you or someone you know is considering a career in health insurance, please call or text 988.

Or 911. Cops can take care of you.

You can't have CEO murder without a CEO. It takes two to tango, as they say. You saw what his AI denial system was doing, and walking down the street alone at that time of day. I'm not saying he was asking for it, but he could have taken reasonable precautions likenot making sociopathic business decisions.

Besides, if it's a legitimate assassination the Executive Suite has ways to try and shut that whole thing down using ethics. But let's assume maybe that didn't work or something in this case. I think there should be some sort of punishment, but the punishment should be on the unregulated inhuman greed our healthcare system has become.
