The joke works because intelligence tests follow a normal bell curve. Therefore, approximately half of the population would actually fall below average.

I’d argue people who lack critical thinking skills are more likely to be scared and/or angry than they are to be happy.
They’re told that people like immigrants, the LGBT community, the poor etc are trying to take valuable resources away and force their culture/agenda. That these groups are dangerous, inferior, and deserve harsher treatment.
They’re told that we need to give up personal liberties in the name of security. That sites requiring ID to confirm your age is a good thing to protect the children.
They’re told that climate change is a hoax created by liberals to take away their right to use gas cars and funnel money into renewable energy.
I’m sure there are other talking points but I got tired just thinking about it.
It’s all equally exhausting if you ask me.

impudentmortal@lemmy.worldOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Buy HDD on sale now or wait for Black Friday?English10·2 months agoThanks to everyone who replied. Majority of the responses were to buy now if in US (which I am). So I bit the bullet and just bought them.
Yeah that’s odd that the description lists them as noise canceling. They are definitely not.
Are you an alt account for the OP? I see you responding to nearly every comment.
As another comment wrote, seems like your best option would be to buy whatever IEMs you like and then buy a USB C cable for it. Just make sure the pins match your IEMs.
The AKG Samsung earphones are decent, especially for the price.
Oh right, my bad. Good correction

Got it. Thanks for the super detailed instructions! What type of bread do you use? I’ll have to try making this some time since I love garlic bread
Oh that makes sense. I guess you’d need specific bread for that. I usually just have baguettes at home and that likely won’t work with the soft interior
How do you cut the garlic or do you put the whole clove as is?
I personally like to add pressed garlic with melted butter onto bread then add Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese.
impudentmortal@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you work against muscle memory to change a physical habit?15·5 months agoMavis Beacon was how I learned to type and it’s available for free. Not sure how this version compares to the old one but there were tons of different games to teach you all the different parts of the keyboard (like symbols or the number line).
As for breaking the muscle memory, maybe you can put tape on your middle fingers to try to make it feel difficult to type with just those fingers.
Dear video game developers,
There are too many video games nowadays. Please eliminate three.
I am not a crackpot.
