What kind of "tHaNk yOu fOr yOuR sErViCe"-brain nonsense made you think anything but a sliver of people would look at "man with gun" and think Seal?
Context clues? Every other image is of a seal.
For real. I'm Canadian. I had no idea that dude was a seal either by looking at the meme for the first time. I do, however, possess half a brain cell.
Like navy seal, makes sense after it's explained, at least to an american
Well, literally every other one here can be explained by the word seal and the meme is about how the words are the same. So...
That?
Not military but it was easy, given the context. Literally basic critical thinking
I don't think you know what critical thinking means because it isn't "aware of niche American military units"
They've been reported on, popularized in western film/media for 30+ years but that isn't critical thinking. They just aren't very "niche".
You would use critical thinking to say " every other box is obviously a seal, so the first box, which I don't know, is also a seal. I wonder how, because I don't know much about military units, but am sure that's the name "seal" goes with box 1 too". That's critical thinking jimmy. Lemme know if you need help with your shoelaces or anything
That's inductive reasoning, Bobby, not critical thinking.
And yes, I gathered that this dude is apparently a seal of some sort, but that's not the English language, that's uncreative branding. It's the same word, reused, not a different word also spelled 'seal'.
Inductive reasoning is a critical thinking skill, James.
