It feels like 30% of Americans will consistently give whatever they think the wrong answer is. In US polling, 70% is basically everyone.

I've been using this handle for the last like seven years, and I'm genuinely delighted that it's finally funny

Don’t you think you should be Fully_Adjusted by now?

Isn't that Brian Thompson's username now?

They're trying, and that's what's important.

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Agreed, sincerely. Trying can be a greater effort than we can give sometimes, so to try is to keep fighting the good fight.

The battle against mental illness cannot be won decisively. It is a long campaign against an enemy who never tires, whose forces swell to twice their size whenever you look away. Battle against a foe of such magnitude, who occupies your very mind… every moment you survive is a triumph against all odds. There is no more honorable combat.

30% of Americans think chocolate milk comes from brown cows. There are a lot of absolute morons out there.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The study you're presumably referencing actually is said to quote it at 7%. So great news, there are about a quarter as many morons as you thought!

The other great news is that, the Innovation Center For US Dairy (the source of our famous chocolate milk study) wasn't done asking and answering serious journalistic questions!

Thanks for bringing this group to my attention. Their rigorous and thoughtful work is crucial because as we all know, if the questions are insane, the answers don't matter.

I love that cows eat chocolate because it’s good for them. That made my day. I’ll try to forget about the whole industrial farming nightmare behind it though…

Thanks! I considered looking the true stat up but it was just too silly and I couldn’t be bothered. This was even better than looking it up myself because now you gave us bonus silliness.

Just another free service I provide

Omg this hurts. My mom legit thought this until she married my dad and they went out on a trip to the country together and he had to set her straight. Like she was in her 20s when she learned that’s not how it works.

To be fair, my parents were city people.

70% of people didn't vote for democracy so Trump will rule again.
