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

[–] dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org 31 points 1 year ago

Very likely a parody account

[–] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Don’t you understand what a joke is?

What does the sink want this time?

One of my favorite ads of all time.

[–] Huginn_Muninn@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I sink .... therefore I sang

[–] Narrrz@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 1 year ago

It says it wants to borrow a cup of sugar.

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 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.

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, 100% of men have below average IQs?

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

[–] Thranduil@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 year ago

no thoughts just action men pew pew oh no medievac

[–] theFibonacciEffect@feddit.de 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

50% have an IQ above median

[–] shrugal@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] maeries@feddit.de 28 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] Vigge93@lemmy.world 60 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.

[–] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Happy data scientist noises

[–] maeries@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

Dang, you are right

[–] dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org 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)?

[–] Vigge93@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] hglman@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Look at you with your above-median IQ.

[–] zepheriths@lemmy.world 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

[–] Case@unilem.org 11 points 1 year ago (6 children)

This has to be satire, right?

[–] CoderKat@lemm.ee 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.

[–] specfreq@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Do you need to ask...

[–] anyhow2503@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

What else would it be?

Obvious satire.

[–] nte@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

These intelligent women will devour us all!

[–] deadcatbounce@reddthat.com 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 ..!

[–] frazw@lemmy.world 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

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

watermarked, as they were proud of this below average meme

[–] grumpyrico@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Median != average ... Just saying

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.

[–] Aggravationstation@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Poggervania@kbin.social -1 points 1 year 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.
