    I feel this dude’s recruiter was behind his quota and helped him fudged his ASVAB, or got him a waiver for the fact that his IQ is only double digits.

      Approximately half the people in the world have an IQ in the double digit range. IQ literally has its mean at 100 for a given population. I don’t think I understand what you’re getting at there.

        First off, IQ is an antiquated and terrible measurement of a person’s actual intelligence.

        Secondly, if there was an IQ for sense of humor, or even just a ability to detect a joke in the wild, you’d probably sit somewhere in the bottom quartile.

          You’re the one that brought up IQ in the first place, you can’t blame me for engaging on that.

          It’s hard to detect a joke when it doesn’t exist in the first place.

            The dude is dumb. I was calling him dumb.

            Definitely not my best work, but also clearly not a serious thought provoking question that needs further investigation, or a correction about the mean distribution of IQ scores amongst a population.

              Ah, there it is. Say it louder for those at 99 IQ in the back that you’re lumping in with this guy. That is, if you think they’re even smart enough to be able to understand you in the first place.

              And it wasn’t a question you posed at all- it was a generalised statement that you consider half the population to be “dumb”, which, in a roundabout way, is where I’ve been going with this.

              Edit: I see Lemmy is exactly the same as Reddit - full of so-called intellectuals that think of themselves as better then the average person, and that intellect is the sole barometer of usefulness in society. Keep downvoting me while thinking yourselves superior, fucking cowards.
