In other news, 47% of Americans unable to solve 1x1 Rubik's Cube

Stumped by a 3x3 sudoku too

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Teaching them single color connect 4 is nearly impossible

[–] awesomesauce309@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You’d be surprised how well they can learn if you teach right. Edit all your instructions into fast paced short form videos so they can fit it into their attention span. I call it a Tik-Tok-Toe

Thanks, I hate it.

47% of American’s be like

I don't think he's trying to cover up Epstein's crimes. I think Trump is trying to cover up his own crimes that were committed with Epstein. Trump doesn't have friends or people he protects. Trump only has useful idiots that he will turn on without a second thought.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 month ago

Yep. Trump doesn't like 'losers' like Epstein.

Trump's only covering Trump's crimes. Or at most doing someone a 'favour' to be repaid soon.

So 47% of the US is stupid? This explains a lot.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As if you didn't already know.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Honestly thought it would be 55-60%

[–] Headofthebored@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Are 47% of people so stupid it causes me pain? I used to think it was only like 10%.

[–] SunshineJogger@feddit.org 10 points 1 month ago

That number is way too low for sanity

[–] Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

53 percent in new poll think

47 percent of Americans clearly aren't capable of independent thought then.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Most of that 47% know the orange child rapist is trying to cover up decades of kiddie fiddling depravity in those tRUMP-Epstein files, but won't admit it.

maga continues to maga

Wow, a whole 53 percent think daylight comes from the sun while 47 percent remained uncertain why daytime is light and nighttime is dark....

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

45% of Americans, when asked, "Which is more useful to people, the sun or the moon?", replied, "The moon, because the moon is out at night when it's dark, and the sun is out during the day, when it's already light."

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Okay, I admit it: I can't tell if you're joking or not.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 month ago

Meanwhile, the names of the other 47% appear in the Epstein files.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Oh, I don't think he gives a single steaming shit about "Epstein's crimes". He's covering up his own crimes.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do the other 47% KNOW he is?

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

But don't care, yes

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

47% like getting buttfucked against their will.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago

How is it only fucking half? These polls have to be fucking cooked man.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

how many are maga, probably none, because are told that the files are not real, or not important.

[–] whelk@retrolemmy.com -3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wish these types of headlines included the number of people polled. This one was 1,682 people which doesn't seem particularly representative of anything
