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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 years 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I sink .... therefore I sang

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

It says it wants to borrow a cup of sugar.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years 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 2 years 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] 62 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Happy data scientist noises

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Dang, you are right

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

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

50% have an IQ above median

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (6 children)

This has to be satire, right?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Do you need to ask...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

What else would it be?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Obvious satire.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

These intelligent women will devour us all!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] Aggravationstation 3 points 2 years ago (5 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Only if the average is exactly equal to the median.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Median is a form of average.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years 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.
