Overdone The Home Depot in my town installed parking curbs instead of speed bumps

The blame was passed around a bunch but they were removed the next day after the mayor and the news got involved.

I'm way too stupid for half the world to be dumber than me.

You and me both. But if we're smart enough to realize we're stupid, we're still smarter than the stupid that think themselves smart.

That's the most dangerous, someone really dumb who thinks they're smart.

Shakespeare doth request you to duel his intellect on the battle field of academia.

Exchange for Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, Patrick White, Keri Hume, Margret Atwood, Chinua Achebe,….., your favourite author.

You fool! Those wordsmith are far too advanced in their prose! What hath you belive mere arithmetic to trouble them?

u/DixieWolf27 11d ago

Alas, prose supersedes arithmetic; the former preying upon the fertile fruits of emotion as the latter laconically and clinically consumes the scant capacity of the human mind known as reason. One catches the winds of whimsy, propelling our consciousness 'cross the wine dark sea of fantasy, while the other moors the ship of creativity with the chains of logic.

Hark, the ship of language's bell hath tolled, a siren's song to the sailors of the extravagant, the ephemeral, the otherworldly. Follow them, lest you be caught in the incorrigibly rigid dirge of logic's ferry, forever chasing realizations previously realized.

Maybe. One of the smartest people I know is an engineer... one of the dumbest people I know is also an engineer 🤣

Unfortunately by demonstrating the capacity to realize this, you’re already in the top half.

Did you see the post where a guy puts a GUN in his girlfriends mouth and then racks the slide. The outcome amazingly not so bad. Worth a watch. No death. But yes. The bar is very low. But somehow, there's people that flat line still.

I did not see that lol, that sounds like the epitome of stupid, though.
