I can see my mom doing that. She's never been too bright, but the past years she started going senile (she's over 70) and she has various conditions for which she has to take really strong medicines that make her super dumb and even the simplest things puzzle her. It's honestly hard to see her degrading like this.

My dad is easily the smartest person I'll ever know. He knows everything I've ever asked him. He graduated from Ohio State University with a major in mechanical engineering, and a minor in nuclear engineering. I've only been right in an argument with him 1 time. He had a couple mail stamps with an old WW2 airplane on it. Well my dad says it's a P51 Mustang. I said it wasn't. Well we go back and forth about it for a while, and finally I remembered exactly what plane it was. It was a P40 Warhawk. I pulled up a picture of it and my dad admitted I was right. It was a proud moment 😂
One of my friends (only 14) is incredibly into space and physics and I love listening to him talk about what he’s learnt even if I’m not that interested because it makes him feel accomplished. He reads physics books in his spare time and can get me to understand some basics of time relativity even though I’ve never studied it before. He’s going to accomplish great things.
the guy searching his phone while being in a call with someone....yeah happened to me...a lot...i have a long distance relationship and we sometimes phone for 2 or 3 h...and sometimes i suddenly panic looking for my phone...asking her where my phone could be...yeah also "study well pupper" i have law school exam tomorrow XD
49:35 This reminds me of a post I saw from Tumblr or Twitter or something where someone admitted that, when their art class was doing something with hot wax, their first instinct upon seeing the wax was to go "ooh" and stick their hand in, and then to avoid embarrassment, they just acted like they didn't feel any pain.
40:28 If you go by my grades and things my teachers and professors have said about me, I'm pretty smart. However, when it comes to certain bits of "common sense", I could use a bit of help. Back in college, I lived in a suite on campus with 3 friends. We took turns taking out the recycling when it was getting full. The first time I did it, it did not occur to me that I could just _pick up the bin_ and carry it to the proper receptacle. Seeing this, one of my friends got so angry that he decided to just get up and do it himself.
I totally understand the woman who would "dumb down" in order to fit in with others. I tried to do that myself. However, I'd get deeply involved in a discussion or play a game like Trivial Pursuit and forget to dumb down. Then people would stare at me and my "secret" would be out. I get my intellect genes from my grandmother. She didn't get beyond Grade 2 or so because her family was poor and she was hired out to be a "mother's helper." Even so, she could do the NY Times Sunday crossword puzzle, in ink, with very few mistakes. She also could remember everyone's birthdays and anniversaries, without having them written down anywhere - quite the feat given that my extended family is quite large.
My late, much missed, very JY FIL. 6th grade dropout, smartest person ever. He self-educated, both by reading and by doing. He could MacGyver anything out of whatever happened to be lying around the house. He used to send me to various academic libraries to get obscure books about history, religion, sociology, science, sports you name it. He built computers for himself, us, his friends, people he sponsored in AA, all at no charge. He didn't stop learning until the day he died.
I remember back in Grade School that I couldn't figure out Math for crap. I just always thought I was stupid. But then I ended up doing pretty well in a trivia game, answering about 90% of questions correctly, including obscure things. Turns out I'm not really that stupid, I just have dyscalculia.
My brother in law was a volunteer firefighter. He got a call and since it wasn't major and he wasn't on call, asked our young son if he wanted to go to the site to see the firefighters and trucks. The chief approached BIL, and told him, the owner's son asked if they found propellants. The owners were on vacation and their adult son was at odds with them. It was found he had started the fire.
The flood stories reminded me of a joke: A guy crawled out his attic window to get away from the flood, and was just sitting there. A rowboat came along and offered him a ride and he said, "I'm not afraid; the Lord will save me!" An hour or so later, a motorboat came along and offered him a ride to safety, but he said, "I'm not afraid; the Lord will save me!" Around 3 hours later, a helicopter came along, and the rescuers on board yelled, "Better come with us! They're not sending anyone else!" but once again, he said, "I'm not afraid; the Lord will save me!" - - - He drowned. When he approached the Gates of Heaven, the Lord was there to welcome him. Mr. Flood Victim asked, in a whiny voice, "Lord, I trusted you! Why didn't You save me?" Our Lord replied, "I sent you two boats and a helicopter!!!" - - - /// As for brains, my school, starting in 1st grade, kept telling my Mom that I should be skipped ahead a couple of grades. She always said no, because that was done to her and she hated it. She always thought I was just like her. I was not. I became an "under-acheiver" because I was BORED SHITLESS. I never learned good study habits, because I never needed to. I taught myself a bunch of work-arounds instead. Bla bla bla. The upshot was that, when I got to college and actually needed to work, I fell behind, and goodby to my easy A's. I never graduated.
The story at 8:00 really ticks me off... Don't ever tell a child to knock it off when it is correct. I'm sorry that a child is smarter than a full grown adult, but this is why ALL teachers are stupid. You are teaching our generation the equivalent of a factory worker... Blame the rockafellers.
It really pissed me off too. Kids go to school to LEARN. But if teachers ever feel like a student is challenging them by knowing more or catching them being incorrect about something they get so extremely butthurt, I've heard of kids being suspended for "talking back" at the teacher when they were simply pointing out a mistake. That is so fucked up. Teachers should have the humility to acknowledge if they make mistakes, they're humans like everyone else, we all make mistakes, and actually be glad that there are such smart students in their classes. They keep bitching that "you're all so damn stupid you don't understand anything everyone failed the test" but if someone is actually smart they despise that. smh
My dad's friend was in the British army and was deployed to the Falklands. You get alot of penguins there his mum made a joke about bringing her one back. He took it as a challenge and tried to catch one. He got sent home on a medical discharge because it sliced his arm open and causes so much nerve damage he could no longer feel his arm
Dam it I knew algebra in third grade, not 2nd grade, but we didn’t learn it as a class until 6th. He beat my record. I got it from a whiteboard in the hallway at school, so far everything I learned we have gone through.
I was in a very similar camp to the one that the individual learning math beyond his grade level from his parents was. I also frequently got in trouble with my teachers for trying to explain alternative methods to solve equations, and the like.
15:17 This actually reminds me of my dad. He was always making funny voices, dad jokes, and he even has a tattoo on his belly button that looks like a rabbit going into the "rabbit hole." Turns out he's either has bipolar disorder with paranoia or is a paranoid schitzophrenic. Its more than likely the bipolar/paranoid option.
My foster sister and I had to be put in separate classes in Primary School (grades 1-7 in Canada) because she developed a habit of looking at me whenever the teacher asked her something. I would tell her, then she would answer the teacher. My teachers were always frustrated with me because I'm at least as smart as I am lazy.
Got a new neighbor… she was a lawyer in her home country and it feels bad that she isn’t that good at English because she moved here for her kids. We talked about some things day to get jobs and when I asked what she did before, it made more sense when she said it was weird for her to be a cashier here.
So this isn’t a specific example, but my dad is also super intelligent, the guy didn’t finish college and didn’t work, but you could ask him the answer or how to do pretty much anything and he could do it, he knew plumbing, electricity, woodwork, anything about cars, instruments, and knew any word that I would say and the definition, he would also beat my mom a teacher in anything related to intelligence, yet somehow he didn’t do all that much with his life
This is something similar. Brother struggles with puzzle for a long time. Tries to mess with me and toses all pieces. Shows me a picture for 2 seconds and says good luck. Puzzle is solved in less than 10 secs. Ok, maybe Brother is just dumb. Brother gets ridiculously long test to find out how good you are at atterns. Apparently, I am stupidly good at pattern recognition. I'm also pretty good with visual memory I guess. Took varios ridiculously long tests that try to trick you with similar sounds, words and pictures. Then ask you what words you have seen before. I usually get 95% and over. I don't think this has been very useful in my life so it's nothing to brag about... Downside: I don't know how to explain it. I'm thinking of absolutely nothing and things just seem right when I look at them. Maybe this is the reason why I'm so terrible at articulating my thoughts.
I taught myself long division back in kindergarten, and I've always been excellent at math and spelling. That was my most impressive achievement for a very long time.
My encounter with a stupid person: I was a young teen and had managed to catch a chicken at the zoo's petting pen and this woman comes up to me and asks me "what type of bird is that?" I told her it was a White Chicken, which I remembered seeing from a sign and she looked at me like I'd given her an answer she wasn't expecting. "I mean what type?" I gave her it was a domestic fowl, as I remembered from the sign. Then she nods and goes on to ask. "What is the schedule for these things?" Having seen the zoo once had experts walking around handling animals to be pet and being experts I got a good idea this is what she meant and I - being in a red shirt and jeans, so far from the zoo staff's khaki colored uniform - shrugged and said. "I don't know, I don't work here." She then just walked off. I had a feeling she realized she was feeling stupid for asking a kid about something they normally should not know the answer to. At the time, I was an animal fanatic and had been at the zoo often so I knew more than the average zoo goer and often remembered information like what she had been asking after. TL;DR: Woman asks a teenager if a chicken is a chicken and about things that go on at the zoo when said teen doesn't work there.
57:00 basic knowledge (how to fill tax returns, how a credit card works, how to cook food, etc.) is supposed to be taught by your parents. Failing this, schools do already teach life skills classes, they're called Home Ec, Legal Studies, Maths, and Manual Arts, all of which you need to do for at least one semester before grade 11. If you didn't get taught by your parents that's on them, if you didn't pay attention during those classes that's on you.
When I was a manager at Journey's, I once had a girl looking at White High-Top Converse. There was leather and canvas, she has one in each hand looking at them. She asked if she could get a pair in her size, when I asked her if she wanted the canvas or the leather ones she looked at me, confused, and said "what's the difference?". I paused for a minute before explaining the difference. She had to be in her 20s....
One time I was cooking with my grandmother and I was like five years old and she said throw the spaghetti in the pan so I took all of my strength through it into the pan pasta with everywhere boiling water went everywhere there’s a big mess all over the house
my mom used to work for Europe and there was this guy there who could speak 8 languages fluently, he also slept during gatherings but at some point he'll wake up, ask for a summary of what happened and then form a opinion or conclusion that basically was so smart they didn't even have to dscuss further strange guy
The smart lazy person thing is something i tell my grandma. I hated loading the coke cans into our minifridge individually, so what id do is id open one end, put the box in, open the other, and push the cans while i pulled the box out. Made life so much easier and my family hasnt done it different since.
About the air thing. Some people are allergic to aeresols. I had a friend that was growing up. Not allergic to the air itself but the chemical process to put it there, keep it in there, and make it spurt out. Similarly, I cannot have inhalers, even of things I can have the nebulizer for, because it causes a reaction in me. It was explained to me that some people just react to what makes it that way. At least I don't react to canned air or those blasts of air at the eye doctor. That would suck. But yes. This can happen. Probably pretty rare though.
To the teacher who wanted the kid to stop teaching kids higher level math, stop. If you have a kid who is smart enough in a subject that they can teach it to their peers, let them! My high school allowed us to advance in math as far as we could go, so long as we could complete a mock final exam for the math level below & scored a 75 or above, and I managed to get straight into Algebra II right after taking an intro to stats class in freshman year, and was in calculus my sophomore year, and completed college calculus I (failed calc II, but that’s okay, I was in an emotional rut) my junior year. When I was still in high school level calculus, I taught my ex boyfriend (he probably would’ve been in my math classes if he took the placement exams with me, but he opted out because he wanted to take more behavioral science classes instead. We could only do 4 classes a semester.) everything we learned in class that day because he had a talent where he could close his eyes and visualize & keep track of a mental chalkboard, and when I hit a rough spot, he would actually help me, and I’d be like “You need to take calc!” Also I took algebra I in middle school and it confused me a lot because I had been bullied in my algebra I class by peers (i was also sort of bullied in ECE calc II, which made my anxiety levels consume me for that class, making me tap out and fail miserably - like I got a 40% final grade 😂.)
ive never understood why schools hate kids knowing things above their current learning bands lol my yr 5 teacher (so i would have been 10) hated how knowledgeable i was on ecology but it was because i was a total book-eater and at that time i just loved animals and science
When 13, and looking after a class with no teacher, they always choose to do their homework. Some clutz would ask for math help. I announce that whoever would help would learn more than he would teach. Changed the class attitude to helping eachother.
Okay, so this isn't necessarily related but two days ago, during my high school graduation the boy next to me just randomly mentioned that he was the first person in his family to graduate. I just kind of have him a dumbstruck look (not that I didn't believe him I was just surprised) and asked if he was kidding. Nope!
My husband was great at math (I can't hardly do any math). He would hand me a calculator, ask me to key in a ridiculously long number multiply it another number of the like. I would total it keeping it to my self. He would tap his thumb/index fingers. He would look at me and give the correct answer.
My uncle used to be a cop. He got called to a car accident in the middle of the night, a transport had rear-ended a car that was stopped on the highway. The car driver could not be found. When they started to tow away the car, there was a pool of what looked like oil under it. On closer inspection it turned out to be blood. They lifted the hood and found the driver. They figured his car broke down so he stopped in the middle of the highway, lifted the hood and was fiddling with the engine when the transport hit him from behind, driving him in on top of the engine and slamming the hood.
My freshmen year of high school, I was sent to alternative school because I was arrested for possession. While stoned, I got the highest score on the end of course biology exam out of the whole district. Highest grade I completed was 9th. Dropped out and got top 5% in the nation on my GED. Almost perfect gpa in college
Genius Grandpa: in reference to his written solution that was easily understood; “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” -Einstein
that dictionary one, scary. i did the same thing one summer at age 10--bored. if you read the pronunciations and language-origins of the words as well, you get a leg up on latin, greek, and many other languages. note to those still in school: some teachers get creeped out or hostile by this. use care. 21:29 during the mandatory evacs one year, the mayor of Va Beach added: "if you choose to ignore the evacuation, write your SSN on your arm so we can identify the body". it worked.
I'm not that smart but one time I was fixing my pc in my room and my cat was poking her nose on what I was doing so I got mad and grab her and took her out of my room and proceeded to lock the door like if the cat was going to unlock it and walk back in.
1:17:56 I mean, if you managed to somehow record all the noise of the erosion happening over thousands of years, although in real time you won't even be able to hear it, I'm sure if you unleashed it all at once it would be pretty freaking loud.
Bruh, my mom read the entire dictionary at least twice growing up. Idk if it transferred in genetics but I was a young gifted reader and a vocab nerd. I don't intentionally try sound "smarter than I am" but I am told that I do because I correctly, and often use words most people don't. I just like adding flavor in my conversation! It's boring to describe shit be saying "very" this or that, use a single word for the meaning of two or three words that describes the same thing!
In my class there was this kid that would always make up stupid facts and one day our class was talking about global warming. We all said stuff about it then the dumb kid said "you've got to eat at least one piece of red meat otherwise you would die" everyone looks at him then me ( the only vegetarian in the class ) and breaks out laughing after I fake an exaggerated death. The look on that kids face though. And later on that year I won an award for most likely to save the world which annoyed me since I knew that it would take more than one person to save the world.
“If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight.” Sun Tzu said that, and I’d say he knows a little more about fighting than you do pal! Because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor! Then he used his fight-money to buy two of every animal on Earth, then he herded them onto a boat, and then he beat the crap out of every single one. And from that day forward any time a bunch of animals are together in one place it’s called a Tzu! Unless it’s a farm.

Seatbelts save lives, NO DOUBT... . However it is NO guarantee that you will survive just for wearing it. Seems all the click it or ticket type ads try to insinuate a seatbelt is a guarantee.... . I know this because a family member was driving a cargo van that had only 2 seats, and there were 3 people in the van. When the van rolled the many many many times... The driver was seatbelted she was ejected and killed. The passenger was in a seat but NOT wearing her seatbelt, he was ejected with minor injuries with one deep cut, he survived... The third person was NOT in a seat, and obviously no seatbelt... He stayed in the van as it rolled, just scrapes and bruises... . The driver WAS wearing her seatbelt, I personally went into the wrecked van and saw the blood and the mangled seatbelt.... I also saw the burn marks the seatbelt left on her body at the funeral home (we had to view to choose open or closed casket. We chose open as all the major injuries was covered up with clothing she only had minor scratches to her face from her glasses breaking apart... Again SEATBELTS SAVES LIVES but are NOT A GUARANTEE
To be fair I’m sure the microwave was new technology and even though a chemist might have only knew the basics of it ... that it speeds up the molecules... that being said ... if you don’t take into account that chocolate chips are dancer molecule structure... and just thinking temp of item + microwave = melting rate ... the chips would melt first ... 🤷♀️...

I can relate to the numbers guy. A friend of mine sent me a pattern of numbers and told me to figure out the last digit. I don't remember the equation but it was pretty difficult and I got it right the first try. He then tells me he sent the same txt to two PhD candidates and a professor and they all got it wrong I went to community college. But I like numbers. Still remember addresses and phone numbers from every house/phone I ever had. Even friends #'s from grade school.
I once touched a frying pan right after I turned off the stovetop it was on...somehow I managed to pull my hand away before my skin actually managed to burn though...
I’ve memorized my own visa number in the back of the card and the date that it expires but that’s just because I’ve had to plug it in a couple of times four online purchases and to me all the numbers are too confusing to remember they kind of all sync up in a pattern
Can't even count the amount of times I mistakenly said "cold" meaning "warm" or "hot", it sounds so dumb until you know it's because English isn't my first language, Italian is, and warm is literally "caldo". You can see where the confusion comes from, even though I know it, I still automatically tend to say cold to mean warm. My German boyfriend (cold is kalt in German) is having the same struggle now that he's learning Italian. There are a lot of words that sound very similar to English but don't mean the same thing, but most of them just mean something different entirely, a couple of them though mean the exact opposite and that's a constant mindfuck to remember.

One of my friends (only 14) is incredibly into space and physics and I love listening to him talk about what he’s learnt even if I’m not that interested because it makes him feel accomplished. He reads physics books in his spare time and can get me to understand some basics of time relativity even though I’ve never studied it before. He’s going to accomplish great things.
That's fantastic! You're so lucky.
the guy searching his phone while being in a call with someone....yeah happened to me...a lot...i have a long distance relationship and we sometimes phone for 2 or 3 h...and sometimes i suddenly panic looking for my phone...asking her where my phone could be...yeah
also "study well pupper" i have law school exam tomorrow XD
49:35 This reminds me of a post I saw from Tumblr or Twitter or something where someone admitted that, when their art class was doing something with hot wax, their first instinct upon seeing the wax was to go "ooh" and stick their hand in, and then to avoid embarrassment, they just acted like they didn't feel any pain.
That dashlane ad was smooth. Had to like because of that.
40:28 If you go by my grades and things my teachers and professors have said about me, I'm pretty smart. However, when it comes to certain bits of "common sense", I could use a bit of help. Back in college, I lived in a suite on campus with 3 friends. We took turns taking out the recycling when it was getting full. The first time I did it, it did not occur to me that I could just _pick up the bin_ and carry it to the proper receptacle. Seeing this, one of my friends got so angry that he decided to just get up and do it himself.
"STUDY WELL PUPPER" PLS DONT FAIL MEH
I totally understand the woman who would "dumb down" in order to fit in with others. I tried to do that myself. However, I'd get deeply involved in a discussion or play a game like Trivial Pursuit and forget to dumb down. Then people would stare at me and my "secret" would be out. I get my intellect genes from my grandmother. She didn't get beyond Grade 2 or so because her family was poor and she was hired out to be a "mother's helper." Even so, she could do the NY Times Sunday crossword puzzle, in ink, with very few mistakes. She also could remember everyone's birthdays and anniversaries, without having them written down anywhere - quite the feat given that my extended family is quite large.
My late, much missed, very JY FIL. 6th grade dropout, smartest person ever. He self-educated, both by reading and by doing. He could MacGyver anything out of whatever happened to be lying around the house. He used to send me to various academic libraries to get obscure books about history, religion, sociology, science, sports you name it. He built computers for himself, us, his friends, people he sponsored in AA, all at no charge. He didn't stop learning until the day he died.
I remember back in Grade School that I couldn't figure out Math for crap. I just always thought I was stupid. But then I ended up doing pretty well in a trivia game, answering about 90% of questions correctly, including obscure things. Turns out I'm not really that stupid, I just have dyscalculia.
My brother in law was a volunteer firefighter. He got a call and since it wasn't major and he wasn't on call, asked our young son if he wanted to go to the site to see the firefighters and trucks. The chief approached BIL, and told him, the owner's son asked if they found propellants. The owners were on vacation and their adult son was at odds with them. It was found he had started the fire.
The no studying in HS then drowning in college... I feel that.
The flood stories reminded me of a joke: A guy crawled out his attic window to get away from the flood, and was just sitting there. A rowboat came along and offered him a ride and he said, "I'm not afraid; the Lord will save me!" An hour or so later, a motorboat came along and offered him a ride to safety, but he said, "I'm not afraid; the Lord will save me!" Around 3 hours later, a helicopter came along, and the rescuers on board yelled, "Better come with us! They're not sending anyone else!" but once again, he said, "I'm not afraid; the Lord will save me!" - - - He drowned. When he approached the Gates of Heaven, the Lord was there to welcome him. Mr. Flood Victim asked, in a whiny voice, "Lord, I trusted you! Why didn't You save me?" Our Lord replied, "I sent you two boats and a helicopter!!!" - - - /// As for brains, my school, starting in 1st grade, kept telling my Mom that I should be skipped ahead a couple of grades. She always said no, because that was done to her and she hated it. She always thought I was just like her. I was not. I became an "under-acheiver" because I was BORED SHITLESS. I never learned good study habits, because I never needed to. I taught myself a bunch of work-arounds instead. Bla bla bla. The upshot was that, when I got to college and actually needed to work, I fell behind, and goodby to my easy A's. I never graduated.
No one
God: three strikes you're out
The story at 8:00 really ticks me off... Don't ever tell a child to knock it off when it is correct. I'm sorry that a child is smarter than a full grown adult, but this is why ALL teachers are stupid. You are teaching our generation the equivalent of a factory worker... Blame the rockafellers.
It really pissed me off too. Kids go to school to LEARN. But if teachers ever feel like a student is challenging them by knowing more or catching them being incorrect about something they get so extremely butthurt, I've heard of kids being suspended for "talking back" at the teacher when they were simply pointing out a mistake. That is so fucked up. Teachers should have the humility to acknowledge if they make mistakes, they're humans like everyone else, we all make mistakes, and actually be glad that there are such smart students in their classes. They keep bitching that "you're all so damn stupid you don't understand anything everyone failed the test" but if someone is actually smart they despise that. smh
@@0Onyx13 very well said
Someone to tutor the kids who otherwise fall behind? Parents and the next teacher would appreciate that.
I used to do the totaling of purchases in the grocery store in my head, I quit when it freaked out the cashiers too many times.
My dad's friend was in the British army and was deployed to the Falklands. You get alot of penguins there his mum made a joke about bringing her one back. He took it as a challenge and tried to catch one. He got sent home on a medical discharge because it sliced his arm open and causes so much nerve damage he could no longer feel his arm
40:35 That was a really smooth ad transition, lmao.
Dam it I knew algebra in third grade, not 2nd grade, but we didn’t learn it as a class until 6th. He beat my record. I got it from a whiteboard in the hallway at school, so far everything I learned we have gone through.
I was in a very similar camp to the one that the individual learning math beyond his grade level from his parents was. I also frequently got in trouble with my teachers for trying to explain alternative methods to solve equations, and the like.
15:17 This actually reminds me of my dad. He was always making funny voices, dad jokes, and he even has a tattoo on his belly button that looks like a rabbit going into the "rabbit hole." Turns out he's either has bipolar disorder with paranoia or is a paranoid schitzophrenic. Its more than likely the bipolar/paranoid option.
I really want to see that 8x11 sheet with the engineering solution.
The Grand Canyon one right near the end fucking got me 😂
My foster sister and I had to be put in separate classes in Primary School (grades 1-7 in Canada) because she developed a habit of looking at me whenever the teacher asked her something. I would tell her, then she would answer the teacher.
My teachers were always frustrated with me because I'm at least as smart as I am lazy.
Got a new neighbor… she was a lawyer in her home country and it feels bad that she isn’t that good at English because she moved here for her kids. We talked about some things day to get jobs and when I asked what she did before, it made more sense when she said it was weird for her to be a cashier here.
So this isn’t a specific example, but my dad is also super intelligent, the guy didn’t finish college and didn’t work, but you could ask him the answer or how to do pretty much anything and he could do it, he knew plumbing, electricity, woodwork, anything about cars, instruments, and knew any word that I would say and the definition, he would also beat my mom a teacher in anything related to intelligence, yet somehow he didn’t do all that much with his life
This is something similar. Brother struggles with puzzle for a long time. Tries to mess with me and toses all pieces. Shows me a picture for 2 seconds and says good luck. Puzzle is solved in less than 10 secs.
Ok, maybe Brother is just dumb. Brother gets ridiculously long test to find out how good you are at atterns. Apparently, I am stupidly good at pattern recognition.
I'm also pretty good with visual memory I guess. Took varios ridiculously long tests that try to trick you with similar sounds, words and pictures. Then ask you what words you have seen before. I usually get 95% and over. I don't think this has been very useful in my life so it's nothing to brag about...
Downside: I don't know how to explain it. I'm thinking of absolutely nothing and things just seem right when I look at them. Maybe this is the reason why I'm so terrible at articulating my thoughts.
I feel really dumb. Can’t wait for the dumb stories to make me feel smart again.
I taught myself long division back in kindergarten, and I've always been excellent at math and spelling. That was my most impressive achievement for a very long time.
My encounter with a stupid person: I was a young teen and had managed to catch a chicken at the zoo's petting pen and this woman comes up to me and asks me "what type of bird is that?" I told her it was a White Chicken, which I remembered seeing from a sign and she looked at me like I'd given her an answer she wasn't expecting. "I mean what type?" I gave her it was a domestic fowl, as I remembered from the sign. Then she nods and goes on to ask. "What is the schedule for these things?" Having seen the zoo once had experts walking around handling animals to be pet and being experts I got a good idea this is what she meant and I - being in a red shirt and jeans, so far from the zoo staff's khaki colored uniform - shrugged and said. "I don't know, I don't work here." She then just walked off. I had a feeling she realized she was feeling stupid for asking a kid about something they normally should not know the answer to. At the time, I was an animal fanatic and had been at the zoo often so I knew more than the average zoo goer and often remembered information like what she had been asking after.
TL;DR: Woman asks a teenager if a chicken is a chicken and about things that go on at the zoo when said teen doesn't work there.
57:00 basic knowledge (how to fill tax returns, how a credit card works, how
to cook food, etc.) is supposed to be taught by your parents. Failing this, schools do already teach life skills classes, they're called Home Ec, Legal Studies, Maths, and Manual Arts, all of which you need to do for at least one semester before grade 11. If you didn't get taught by your parents that's on them, if you didn't pay attention during those classes that's on you.
I still write down stuff, once I wrote it all down, it's like it's printed in my brain
When I was a manager at Journey's, I once had a girl looking at White High-Top Converse. There was leather and canvas, she has one in each hand looking at them. She asked if she could get a pair in her size, when I asked her if she wanted the canvas or the leather ones she looked at me, confused, and said "what's the difference?". I paused for a minute before explaining the difference. She had to be in her 20s....
One time I was cooking with my grandmother and I was like five years old and she said throw the spaghetti in the pan so I took all of my strength through it into the pan pasta with everywhere boiling water went everywhere there’s a big mess all over the house
my mom used to work for Europe and there was this guy there who could speak 8 languages fluently,
he also slept during gatherings but at some point he'll wake up, ask for a summary of what happened and then form a opinion or conclusion that basically was so smart they didn't even have to dscuss further
strange guy
Study well pupper!
awww I love these outros there so cute
The smart lazy person thing is something i tell my grandma.
I hated loading the coke cans into our minifridge individually, so what id do is id open one end, put the box in, open the other, and push the cans while i pulled the box out.
Made life so much easier and my family hasnt done it different since.
About the air thing. Some people are allergic to aeresols. I had a friend that was growing up. Not allergic to the air itself but the chemical process to put it there, keep it in there, and make it spurt out.
Similarly, I cannot have inhalers, even of things I can have the nebulizer for, because it causes a reaction in me. It was explained to me that some people just react to what makes it that way.
At least I don't react to canned air or those blasts of air at the eye doctor. That would suck. But yes. This can happen. Probably pretty rare though.
To the teacher who wanted the kid to stop teaching kids higher level math, stop. If you have a kid who is smart enough in a subject that they can teach it to their peers, let them! My high school allowed us to advance in math as far as we could go, so long as we could complete a mock final exam for the math level below & scored a 75 or above, and I managed to get straight into Algebra II right after taking an intro to stats class in freshman year, and was in calculus my sophomore year, and completed college calculus I (failed calc II, but that’s okay, I was in an emotional rut) my junior year. When I was still in high school level calculus, I taught my ex boyfriend (he probably would’ve been in my math classes if he took the placement exams with me, but he opted out because he wanted to take more behavioral science classes instead. We could only do 4 classes a semester.) everything we learned in class that day because he had a talent where he could close his eyes and visualize & keep track of a mental chalkboard, and when I hit a rough spot, he would actually help me, and I’d be like “You need to take calc!”
Also I took algebra I in middle school and it confused me a lot because I had been bullied in my algebra I class by peers (i was also sort of bullied in ECE calc II, which made my anxiety levels consume me for that class, making me tap out and fail miserably - like I got a 40% final grade 😂.)
ive never understood why schools hate kids knowing things above their current learning bands lol my yr 5 teacher (so i would have been 10) hated how knowledgeable i was on ecology but it was because i was a total book-eater and at that time i just loved animals and science
When 13, and looking after a class with no teacher, they always choose to do their homework. Some clutz would ask for math help. I announce that whoever would help would learn more than he would teach. Changed the class attitude to helping eachother.
And this is both how and why PHD's end up meaning nothing common sense or intelligence wise
Okay, so this isn't necessarily related but two days ago, during my high school graduation the boy next to me just randomly mentioned that he was the first person in his family to graduate. I just kind of have him a dumbstruck look (not that I didn't believe him I was just surprised) and asked if he was kidding. Nope!
My husband was great at math (I can't hardly do any math). He would hand me a calculator, ask me to key in a ridiculously long number multiply it another number of the like. I would total it keeping it to my self. He would tap his thumb/index fingers. He would look at me and give the correct answer.
"I'd ask him politely not to ruin your life... Let me ruin it on my own!"
My uncle used to be a cop. He got called to a car accident in the middle of the night, a transport had rear-ended a car that was stopped on the highway. The car driver could not be found. When they started to tow away the car, there was a pool of what looked like oil under it. On closer inspection it turned out to be blood.
They lifted the hood and found the driver. They figured his car broke down so he stopped in the middle of the highway, lifted the hood and was fiddling with the engine when the transport hit him from behind, driving him in on top of the engine and slamming the hood.
My freshmen year of high school, I was sent to alternative school because I was arrested for possession. While stoned, I got the highest score on the end of course biology exam out of the whole district. Highest grade I completed was 9th. Dropped out and got top 5% in the nation on my GED. Almost perfect gpa in college
At about 49:50 when the bot reads off that part of the story, you can hear it getting audibly angry and annoyed that said person did that😂
Was living in Oak Harbor WA (USA) when we would go to the mainland there was a sign it read best EGG in town. Asked hubby what an EGG was. Face plant
That is so much dedication to record 1 hour and 19 minutes of one smart person vs a mega fuck ton of stupid people
41:01 - Wait...d...did they post--? I seriously hope that's not a real credit card number...
Looks like one of those fake numbers that's on the card in a credit card ad. Also, credit card numbers almost never start with a 2.
I never knew there’s other people who can remember numbers so well. I can easily remember numbers even long ones after seeing it once.
"Poor Drunkle" 😆
15:00 advice is legit. By the time I was done making a mini reference I almost didn't need it.
11:24 "He read the dictionary because he was bored". I feel like, for most people, the cause and effect would be reversed.
Genius Grandpa: in reference to his written solution that was easily understood; “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” -Einstein
Haha, that sponsored ad was so meta
I wonder if I would be more intelligent if I had a better memory.
that dictionary one, scary. i did the same thing one summer at age 10--bored. if you read the pronunciations and language-origins of the words as well, you get a leg up on latin, greek, and many other languages. note to those still in school: some teachers get creeped out or hostile by this. use care. 21:29 during the mandatory evacs one year, the mayor of Va Beach added: "if you choose to ignore the evacuation, write your SSN on your arm so we can identify the body". it worked.
I'm not that smart but one time I was fixing my pc in my room and my cat was poking her nose on what I was doing so I got mad and grab her and took her out of my room and proceeded to lock the door like if the cat was going to unlock it and walk back in.
1:17:56 I mean, if you managed to somehow record all the noise of the erosion happening over thousands of years, although in real time you won't even be able to hear it, I'm sure if you unleashed it all at once it would be pretty freaking loud.
40:40 Dafuk? 🤨
Bruh, my mom read the entire dictionary at least twice growing up. Idk if it transferred in genetics but I was a young gifted reader and a vocab nerd. I don't intentionally try sound "smarter than I am" but I am told that I do because I correctly, and often use words most people don't. I just like adding flavor in my conversation! It's boring to describe shit be saying "very" this or that, use a single word for the meaning of two or three words that describes the same thing!
45:54 oh god this reminds me of something. I forgot to add the water. It caught fire but thankfully it wasn’t that bad. Scared my poor cat. 🤦🏻♀️
In my class there was this kid that would always make up stupid facts and one day our class was talking about global warming. We all said stuff about it then the dumb kid said "you've got to eat at least one piece of red meat otherwise you would die" everyone looks at him then me ( the only vegetarian in the class ) and breaks out laughing after I fake an exaggerated death. The look on that kids face though. And later on that year I won an award for most likely to save the world which annoyed me since I knew that it would take more than one person to save the world.
I love the Sun Tzu gopher.
“If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight.” Sun Tzu said that, and I’d say he knows a little more about fighting than you do pal! Because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor! Then he used his fight-money to buy two of every animal on Earth, then he herded them onto a boat, and then he beat the crap out of every single one. And from that day forward any time a bunch of animals are together in one place it’s called a Tzu! Unless it’s a farm.
How the fuck did this channel get a sponsorship deal
you do realise that embedding ads without expressly stating that they're sponsored is illegal, right?
Oh boy ... 2020 and people still advertise granting a web based company access to pretty much all of their accounts and data ... I can't say if Updoot is to be considered smart in general but THIS is among the top 5 dumbest things ANYONE has EVER done ...
Nooooo. I had someone do that too. They were adamant about having their chicken medium rare. So bad.
35:40 poor kitty. That little shit.
1:12:51 Couldn't this be a case of they don't know if this hotel is a franchise with multiple locations?
TIL that the Nile is the only river that flows north is a myth, there's like 15 of them
The chess players likely had a board each at home or an office that they would update when told a new move. Me and a friend work in the same building but in different locations, but have a chess board in the staff room that gets updated anytime we pass by and the other has taken their turn. Games last for weeks.
In China, I learned beginners algebra in 2nd grade. It’s the easiest higher math to learn.
Yeah I hate when my rucksack or handbag sets off the passenger alarm.
16:20 😭😭😭😭 this was so sweet
44:40 Xmas day 2010, my damn bday I had just turned 12 and did this. Worst birthday ever, everyone laughed for so long I sat with my favorite sibling watched her open get presents and went directly back to my room
Seatbelts save lives, NO DOUBT...
.
However it is NO guarantee that you will survive just for wearing it. Seems all the click it or ticket type ads try to insinuate a seatbelt is a guarantee....
.
I know this because a family member was driving a cargo van that had only 2 seats, and there were 3 people in the van. When the van rolled the many many many times... The driver was seatbelted she was ejected and killed. The passenger was in a seat but NOT wearing her seatbelt, he was ejected with minor injuries with one deep cut, he survived... The third person was NOT in a seat, and obviously no seatbelt... He stayed in the van as it rolled, just scrapes and bruises...
.
The driver WAS wearing her seatbelt, I personally went into the wrecked van and saw the blood and the mangled seatbelt.... I also saw the burn marks the seatbelt left on her body at the funeral home (we had to view to choose open or closed casket. We chose open as all the major injuries was covered up with clothing she only had minor scratches to her face from her glasses breaking apart...
Again SEATBELTS SAVES LIVES but are NOT A GUARANTEE
22:57 😂😂
To be fair I’m sure the microwave was new technology and even though a chemist might have only knew the basics of it ... that it speeds up the molecules... that being said ... if you don’t take into account that chocolate chips are dancer molecule structure... and just thinking temp of item + microwave = melting rate ... the chips would melt first ... 🤷♀️... I mean it wasn’t like that was his project he was working on it was tide ... but in my head this makes sense
Ers is one of the most fun card games I’ve ever played
I can relate to the numbers guy. A friend of mine sent me a pattern of numbers and told me to figure out the last digit. I don't remember the equation but it was pretty difficult and I got it right the first try. He then tells me he sent the same txt to two PhD candidates and a professor and they all got it wrong I went to community college. But I like numbers. Still remember addresses and phone numbers from every house/phone I ever had. Even friends #'s from grade school.
I'm like the guy @7:08 numbers stick with me after hearing them twice. Its weird. But names? Nah I can't remember them.
I once touched a frying pan right after I turned off the stovetop it was on...somehow I managed to pull my hand away before my skin actually managed to burn though...
I’ve memorized my own visa number in the back of the card and the date that it expires but that’s just because I’ve had to plug it in a couple of times four online purchases and to me all the numbers are too confusing to remember they kind of all sync up in a pattern
That algebra at grade 2 thing, my dad did the same thing to me lol. Though he did that when i was in 3rd or 4th grade
Can't even count the amount of times I mistakenly said "cold" meaning "warm" or "hot", it sounds so dumb until you know it's because English isn't my first language, Italian is, and warm is literally "caldo". You can see where the confusion comes from, even though I know it, I still automatically tend to say cold to mean warm. My German boyfriend (cold is kalt in German) is having the same struggle now that he's learning Italian. There are a lot of words that sound very similar to English but don't mean the same thing, but most of them just mean something different entirely, a couple of them though mean the exact opposite and that's a constant mindfuck to remember.
Some of these, smart people ones seem like a tall tale
Edit. I take that back, nearly all of them
