It is, and the only facepalm is the fact it's posted here
I'm pretty sure it's a bot....
There's a lot of posts here where they're completely missing a joke and saying it's a facepalm.
It probably just pulls whatever is posted to reddit (likely by a bot too) and posts it here. I struggle to believe a real life human would think this is a mistake and not a funny headline for engagement.

Well, that's 1/2 the problem there!
OP musst be one of the 2/3 and clearly not of the 1/4.
Makes sense, there's overlap between what they can do, and what they struggle with...
So there's 2/3rds they just can't do... All of which they struggle with... But there's some stuff they CAN DO, and they struggle with... And then there's 1/4 they can do without struggle.
The problem is "the other" in the headline which makes it clear that your guess is not the case.
"Half and other half is always the same" "... but I think that bigger half of you still don't get it."
I wonder if it was tongue-in-cheek? Like they did it deliberately?
A perfect 5/7 post.

I made a similar joke in a post recently. I was using the number 33⅓, which I'd temporarily forgotten the significance of (it's the RPMs for a standard LP vinyl record to play) so I made it 33¾ and hope that the incongruance itches someone's brain when they read it.
