TotalSonicAre we in the stupidest timeline?
daikikiRemember that time when we elected a literal idiot to be president and a million Americans died because of how fucking stupid he was?
And then we prosecuted him for crimes, convicted him, and then sentenced him to live in government housing for the next 4 years?
Shhh, everything I said is true don’t ruin it for me with facts.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Wrong kind of government housing, unfortunately 😓
He won’t even live there, just like last time. He’ll live in his hotel and cost us tax payers a million dollars per day, that goes straight into his pocket.
TransplantedSconieNot So Fun fact:
Bird flu has killed 50% of the humans it’s infected so far, and that same idiot is going to be back in charge.
And this time, our soon to be Secretary of Health has part of his brain eaten away by a worm.
Only the best people, folks!
KingJalopy If you’re speaking for the worm then I agree. I only enjoy the fattiest, juicy meat myself.
Hey let’s do it again! I’ll call up 10 million of my fellow Democrats and tell them not to bother showing up to vote. It’ll be fun!!!
seaQueueWe were averaging one 9/11 every three days during Trump’s pandemic. And that’s just counting the deaths directly attributed to COVID, with the CDC and a shitload of states playing “don’t test, don’t tell” plus the delayed deaths due to cardiac injury I’m betting the death numbers were closer to 5x reported.
That’s why this time the plan is to get rid of a health ministery before the next pandemic hits.
Can’t have high pandemic casualties if the pandemic is fake news and you’ve dismantled the agency responsible for coordinating testing!
I still don’t know why Kamela didn’t just run ads reminding people of all those who aren’t here because of Trump’s handling of Covid.
The democrats have all been Ned Stark in Kings Landing for a decade. Taking the high road doesn’t work against when the goal of the opposition is to slit your throat
…Can you explain the character better for those of ous who don’t Game any thrones or Sing without fire and ice, thanks.
Spoilers I guess. Ned was an honorable man summoned to rule at advisor to the king in the capital. He plays the game of politics with honor and get his head cut off for it.
“Did you really think this piece of paper would protect you?” Is a perfect example of the Republican response to the DNC.
It upsets me that in the time since I started making that analogy that show went from the hottest thing in the world to a case study in destroying an infinite money machine
That would’ve been a terrible idea to remind them of that period. Voters hate the way it was handled and blame the dems for it. They were blaming Kamala for all sorts of things she had zero authority over.
Trump was literally voted out of office over it.
Boomer Humor DoomergodYeah but it’s not like we could bomb the virus so what are we gonna do? We’re Americans, after all, the only thing we can do is wage war. War on drugs, war on crime, war on poverty, war for independence, war to end slavery, war on Mexico, war on Spain.
And yet people never even talk about it now. No memorial, no day of remembrance, no lessons learned, just right back into the arms of the seditious traitor who killed more Americans than all of our wars combined.
We fortunately already have vaccines for bird flu
Good to know. Also a point of info: RFK Jr. is against “big pharma vaccines”.
Well, as long as you have the money to pay for it yourself, you’re golden. This could decimate the Republican voting base forever though.
Well, as long as we fly out an antivaxxer in change of the only department that can ban existing vaccines, that should be fine.
SquorlpleThe early bird flu gets the brain worm
Statistically for some of us it’s always been Idiocracy…
It’s only takes two standard deviations above 100, before the difference between you and the average person, is the same as average person and someone with an intellectual disability.
If you’re really unlucky you’re 3 standard deviations above and then like 80%+ of the population would be classified as having an intellectual disability if your IQ was the frame of reference instead of 100.
And our own IQ is literally our own frame of reference…
So yeah. At any given point in human history, roughly 2%, definitely 0.1% have been living in fucking Idiocracy, and nothing will ever make it better for them.
Ignorance is bliss, because you never deal with someone that far below yourself, and you don’t notice the other person being that much higher.
But 30 points is the line, because that’s where differences become apparent and one sided frustration common.
IQ is not linear enough for this argument to hold imho
You think bell graph distribution should be linear?
I’m genuinely curious what you’re trying to say here
No I don’t think that of course.
What I am saying is that the meaning of relative differences is non linear. That is 30 IQ points difference is not the same kind of difference from 70 to 100 points as from 100 to 130 nor from 150 to 180.
Nope.
30 points is 30 points, and that’s the round number around the point where the difference is very apparent to the person 30+ above the other…
If you’ve never experienced that before, most people never will. If you’re the one talking to someone that much higher than you, if you did notice you would just noticed you’re not understanding and you’d likely blame the person talking.
Exactly like Idiocracy.
Ignorance is bliss, because you never deal with someone that far below yourself, and you don’t notice the other person being that much higher.
If you’re 100, only 2% are 30+ below you, and depending on your country you’ll never really run into them.
But if you’re 145, it’s around 84% of the population, and the vast amount of people you interact with in public will give you that feeling.
I understand you’re not getting this, but it doesn’t mean it’s something I just pulled out of my ass. You’re just not understanding it
I am getting what you are saying. It’s not difficult to understand but I understand that for you it must seem like I don’t get it.
What I am stating though is that while you assume the relationship of IQ and that feeling you are describing is linear it is in fact not.
Like most relationships between metric and human feelings it’s highly non linear and individual to everyone. I disagree that someone with k+30 IQ feels the same about someone with k IQ no matter the reference IQ k.
I am getting what you are saying
And then you go on to say you don’t get it…
I disagree that someone with k+30 IQ feels the same about someone with k IQ no matter the reference IQ k.
Have a nice life bub, it’ll be less frustrating than it is for some of us at least.
Prime c/iamverysmart material. Thanks for the laugh.
Jesus, this was embarrassing to read. You’re not just wrong, you’re also a massive asshole about it.
IQ is some pseudoscientific bullshit though
Camacho did try to kill him, to be accurate.
s08nlql9stupidiest timeline
i’m waiting for MTG’s nomination and we should be good to go
Wow, I wasn’t even paying attention to her. Looks like she and Lauren Bobblehead both kept their seats. I really think this election is confirmation that we’re in a simulation, and a drunk grad student just fucked with it.
I voted for them both because they’re funny.
It’s actually kind of useful for the seats of two solidly Republican districts to be occupied by ineffective embarrassments instead of Republicans who might actually do something.
Ha! I forgot about this comment. I think it’s funny that I got downvoted for claiming I somehow voted for both a Georgia and Colorado candidate.
edgemaster72She probably won’t get one since she called out Laura Loomer for saying the quiet part out loud being too racist
She’s actually been having a “Too little, too late” Heel Face Turn, so probably not
RFK will replace vaccines with electrolytes, it’s what plants crave.
But…but I’m not a plant… I’m pretty sure anyway.
That’s exactly what an FBI plant would say!
Here we are, “Idiocracy .001”, folks. We are at the point where they haven’t even realized that they need a person with an actual brain. It will get worse, much worse. Maybe they will pick a pedophile for attorney general. Oh, wait.
Welcome to the kakistocracy
Nah the stupidest timeline is simulation 28 where Elon Musk was able to capture the FDA and 30% of the US population was left mentally disabled by malfunctioning brain implants. Compared to those guys your doing just fine simulation 19.
Dude, that’s just what will happen in a couple years. There’s no maybe about it.
I keep trying to tell people. We do not live in Idiocracy, Idiocracy is a fucking utopia compared to what our situation is
Yeah, we don’t masturbate nearly as much and the news anchors aren’t hot
Captain AggravatedAnd they don’t make Ow My Balls anymore.
PresidentCamachoYeah stupid people wishing they had real solutions is a way better outcome than stupid people cheering for the worst outcomes thinking they are solutions
Indeed, Idiocracy shows an automated sex positive future where everyone does what they want because they don’t have anything to be afraid of anymore… One where problems exist sure, but we all acknowledge them and agree the smartest people should be fixing them.
We have… a fire burning the world down, but it’s a slow burning overly painful flame that isn’t even pretty to look at, and you’re considered impolite for bringing it up and “playing politics” if you wanna try putting it out.
RangerJosieAm I the only one who found “hope” in Idiocracy? We start at a future dystopia caused by following som of the worst trends in current society, but then a savior appears, and they’re smart enough to actually follow him?
AnUnusualRelicThat’s how you could tell it was fiction.
Silly Hollywood always insists on a happy ending.
