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.

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.
