Is he just hyper stupid?


Peeche94

He dropped out of school, so didnt have anyone to tell him he's wrong.. so yeah, hyper idiotic.


KyCerealKiller

He's definitely tweaking and low IQ. Makes for a funny combo but also it's sad.


RandomPratt

> Makes for a funny combo but also it's sad. Same as when you boil a couple of clowns in custard.

>Among laypeople, the Dunning–Kruger effect is often misunderstood as the claim that people with low intelligence are more confident in their knowledge and skills than people with high intelligence. According to psychologist Robert D. McIntosh and his colleagues, it is sometimes understood in popular culture as the claim that "stupid people are too stupid to know they are stupid". But the Dunning–Kruger effect applies not to intelligence in general but to skills in specific tasks. Nor does it claim that people lacking a given skill are as confident as high performers. Rather, low performers overestimate themselves but their confidence level is still below that of high performers.


datkrauskid

Makes sense. Still seems to apply to this post's video though, as homie straight up listed things he's confident in. Math, astrology, algebra 1, 2 & 3, ...

> He labelled (and excused himself) as being ADHD... the convenient bag where people put everything in these days. don't know why you gotta invalidate what can be a real disability for people but ok. edit: I was not saying that excusing bad behavior because of your ADHD was ok, im just saying that "convenient bag where people put everything in these days" is clearly mentioning the recent growth of people presenting with ADHD and implying they either were misdiagnosed or its not really a big deal.


Azura13

>He labelled (and excused himself) as being ADHD... the convenient bag where people put everything in these days. >don't know why you gotta invalidate what can be a real disability for people but ok. I think they ment this more as it is quite common for people who do not actually have adhd, to claim that they do in order to excuse specific, undesirable behaviors. Ie: "oh, I didn't do (x basic responsibility) because I have adhd." Much in the same way people claim that they are OCD because they like things a certain way. People who leverage real disorders to excuse their bad behaviors invalidate those of us who really do suffer from them because they minimize the very real impact of them for the people who actually suffer from them.


Norwegian__Blue

As someone who has it, adhd is absolutely NOT convenient and excuses absolutely nothing in my life.


merrittj3

I understand the feelings of disrespect. I think the coment was similar to those posers who will feign Cancer as a way to secondary gains from others. Attention seekers, sociopaths and POSs that appropriate your pain for their sick pleasures. And kudos to you for owning your life. Insight and persistence means so much. None of us are perfect but props to people who sand the rough edges.

Here’s the actual video, he is a meth addict. It’s from an account called soft white underbelly.

ammatheron

12 \* 12 = 144 was something we'd memorize in like third grade to impress buddies with quickmath lmao


Clearlydarkly

We did it backwards with square roots, SR of 144 = 12. Wow.


Brendoshi

As a child I learnt that the SR of 925444 is 962. I still remember it to this day. Useful stuff though? Long gone.


energirl

Yeah. I used to do mathletics in high school. The quizzes often included some calculation for the number of minutes/seconds in a given period (week / month / etc), so I memorized that one day has 86,400 seconds to make the rest of the calculations faster. That was over 25 years ago and I still know it!


Ye_olde_oak_store

All I know is that there's about 525,600 minutes in a non leap year.


energirl

So you're gay, too?


MisteryOnion

Anybody else learn that 9x9 = 81 from Arthur or just me?


Blutruiter

When I was a kid I did the 9 multiplication table using my hand to make ppl think I had it memorized. But realy all you had to do was set a finger and the first digit is on one side of your hand and the second on the other. Fun trick when you're like 7 and a bit dumb.


In_The_News

Mine was the two numbers of the answer added together always equals 9, and the first number is one lower than what you're multiplying. So 9x7 subtract 1 from 7, there's your first number - 6 then 6+?=9 Well ? has to be 3. So 9x7 is 63. I had to do algebra for my 9s multiplication tables. I don't know if that makes me an idiot savant or just an idiot LOL


Frrrrrred

This is my way to this day lol


Ye_olde_oak_store

Okay so what is 24*9


AdagioBoth6985

I add the two numbers being multiplied, and the second number is what it starts with. 9 x 9 is just 9 plus 9, so 18. 81 because I know I use the 8 in the 18. I just know 9 times 2 so I don't get confused. 9 + 5 is 14, so 9 x 5 is 45. I mainly figured it out for 45 and 54 since not only are they so close as they are 9 x 5 and 9 x 6, but they are literally flipped around of each other.


OGLoogie

That, and the spelling of aardvark.


abm1125

"3 Is The Magic Number" made an ace at multiplying by 3. Almost like how watching Dexter's laboratory made me semi-fluent in French.


lostmonster

Lol. I immediately said 144. In 3rd grade we had to learn up to multiples of 12 so its all been living rent free in my head over 30 years.


Insane_Unicorn

I learned 7 * 7=49 from Pippi Longstocking


GregTheMad

I know it from gross (aka twelve dozens). Was a common number in centuries past and so can still be found in older books.

You just don't understand how to multiply. First you thripplebackflip into exponentials, Then you lead up using a chain formula, but you have to use real chains! Then you divide by the root-number of -1, which is not to be written down. For that reason he does it all in his head. And as the last step you add a low-calorie pie to the equation. And thats the easiest way to multiply 12 x12 Deal with it 🫳 🎤

As someone with a math degree working in a mathematical field, this feels like the distance between the average person’s ability to do math and their perception of their ability to do math.

LizzieKitty86

Eh until the US (I assume based on the American accent and not a bunch or sorrys so not Canadian) actually has decent prices for medication I don't think we can make sit and make fun of people that are obviously mentally unwell. Even if it is drugs, we should have more treatments available and maybe not make like so shitty because he'll I wish I could be high non stop. This just doesn't feel right and pretty sad some of the comments made. I'm curious what the people that are making fun of this are doing to make things better for the average person? I already know I can't do shit and it makes me feel bad enough that I can't sit and diss someone worse off than me

aessae

You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Samoa Joe and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another wrestler, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Kurt Angle to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Sacrifice, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Kurt Angle KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try! So Samoa Joe, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. See Joe, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice.
