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

[-] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago

Very likely a parody account

[-] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

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 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I sink .... therefore I sang

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

It says it wants to borrow a cup of sugar.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months 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.

[-] [email protected] 41 points 10 months ago

So, 100% of men have below average IQs?

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

[-] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

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] 62 points 10 months ago

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 10 months ago

Happy data scientist noises

[-] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Dang, you are right

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

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 10 months ago

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

50% have an IQ above median

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

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 10 months ago

This has to be satire, right?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Do you need to ask...

[-] [email protected] 8 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

What else would it be?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago
[-] OneWomanCreamTeam 4 points 10 months ago

Obvious satire.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

These intelligent women will devour us all!

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

Only if the average is exactly equal to the median.

[-] starman2112 2 points 10 months ago

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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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 10 months 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 10 months ago

Median is a form of average.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Statisticians and smarter people, please correct me if I am wrong since my only experience is one statistics class in college, but this could be true if you have a lot of extreme outliers on the lower end than the upper end.

Averages are just that - an average. If you have 1000 people and 750 of them have IQs below 60 and the rest have “normal” IQs, then your average will skew to the lower IQs. I would wager median and mode would be better for this kind of stuff.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

watermarked, as they were proud of this below average meme

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Median != average ... Just saying
