kinda weird that all of the 'smart' men they chose to picture are A) fictional, and B) murderers.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

Very likely a parody account

Don’t you understand what a joke is?

What does the sink want this time?

One of my favorite ads of all time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I will never not watch that clip! I knew what it was before I even clicked it. :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I sink .... therefore I sang

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

sink, sank, sunk.
stink, stank, stunk.
skink, skank, skunk.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It says it wants to borrow a cup of sugar.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We can't be certain as we haven't asked the sink, but I think we can deduce from the statement that the sink wants in.

So, 100% of men have below average IQs?

Because that's just as valid as any other interpretation of this.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Checks out for me. My iq is the room temp of a walk in freezer

Average doesn't mean that 50% are above it. That's what the median is for

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 year ago (3 children)

But in this case it does, or at least it should, since the IQ scale is based on a normal distribution which is symmetric along the mean.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Happy data scientist noises

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Dang, you are right

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But wouldn't a certain amount have the same ig right at the median, meaning less than half would actually be above (and also below)?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It depends on if we assume a discrete or continuous distribution.

50% have an IQ above median

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

IQ follows a normal distribution, so there is no difference.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Males make up a small majority link

Also I recall males being more likely to be at both ends of the iq spectrum

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (6 children)

This has to be satire, right?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Do you need to ask...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It has what appears to be Patrick Bateman and Homelander, who are both utterly blatant psychopaths. I'm not sure which Cillian Murphy character is pictured, but the Keeanu Reeves one appears to be John Wick, an assassin who kills about every other person in New York from the movies I've seen (they don't really have a plot beyond "apparently every single person is an assassin").

So really the only options are satire or literally the dumbest thing ever created.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

What else would it be?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Obvious satire.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I hope you know in which half you are asking questions like that

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

These intelligent women will devour us all!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think the stats say, about 52% of the population is female, 48% is male.

So 2% of females are male. Oh .. wait ..!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I remember one of the question styles in those crappy online iq tests being: If some clots are blahs and all blahs are ploots, are all clots ploots?

Interesting that the meme is about iq

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's because evolution favors traits that aid in survival and reproduction /s

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (5 children)

But if 50% of people are above the average, can that truly be an average?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only if the average is exactly equal to the median.

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

Median is a form of average

Average can mean mean, median, or mode

No, but if you compliment the dumb ones they will work harder for the same amount. Making average common makes business easier.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Any percent can be above average(as long as its not 100%) if there are exteme outliers. For example the average us income is $60k while the median(the most common) is 30k. Source: i just searched it. But you get it. In this memes case its incorrect because iq is a bell curve.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Median isn't most common, that would be mode. Median is the "middle" value i.e. the value that half of the population are above and half are below.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Median is a form of average.

watermarked, as they were proud of this below average meme

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

This is just Nazi rhetoric. Stupid rhetoric, but pretty clearly Nazi stuff.

I'm sure somewhere an idiot decided they were going to create a satirical Nazi meme, but I guess every day another fool must learn why that isn't viable. No context, no satire. There is no reason why this couldn't be made in earnest by one of the 15-year-old white boys that they recruit.

Yeah, it doesn't matter if it says "shitpost" at the top of the page. That tells me nothing. That is not context.

This isn't our first day on the job, the Nazis like to leak their bullshit wherever they can to see if it will float. This place is a good place to make an attempt. I would quite reasonably assume that this is one of those attempts. Maybe they get shut down, or maybe they find fertile ground, they are always testing. Perhaps this is your first day online, though, perhaps you don't know better.

Hiding behind "it's a joke" is also classic fascist nonsense. It's a joke unless you take it seriously, then it's not a joke, let us speak more seriously, that's how the fascists work, and that's why we bring the hammer down on this shit. They're always fishing, and always hiding behind plausible deniability until they get enough power that they don't need to hide.

The men in the meme may seem to make this an obvious joke, but they look cool to young boys, so they would be used knowing that most children would be ignorant of them. Nobody under 18 is likely to know what Patrick Bateman is about, that movie is from forever ago, never mind the book. He just looks like Bruce Wayne to them.

Teenage boys have a nasty tendency to fancy themselves unstoppable psychopaths, they crave power because they have none. It doesn't matter if they know about Patrick, they think he's hard and cool and powerful and rich and gets bitches when it pleases him, just like the teenage boy dreams of. He is a child. Nazis know this. This is not their first day on the job.

I would quite reasonably assume this is Nazi propaganda. It's inept, but fascists are stupid, so that tells me nothing.

Why yes I do know what a joke is. You failed. Try again. It was always your job to land your attempt, and not my job to laugh.

However your post was shit, so I suppose congratulations for that.
