@Devon_Eriksen_ Or you have autistic people who make a multi-paragraph analysis about it

This is why IQ tests don't work too well on really smart people. Because sorta smart people tend to give the expected answer. And really smart people tend to point out that the question is wrong, and start arguing with the test, or trying to correct it, thereby making the test impossible to grade and annoying everyone. The expected answer to this is 72. Because 2*2*2 = 8 and 5*5*2 = 50, so 6*6*2 = 72. But the (really) correct answer is "I don't know." Because what you have is two points on a 3 dimensional graph (x,y) -> z. z = 2*x*y is one surface that can be drawn through these two points. And I suspect it's the simplest formula for a surface that can be so drawn, although I haven't bothered to check. But an infinite number of contiguous surfaces can be drawn in three dimensions that encompass these points (2,2,8) and (5,5,50). Each of these surfaces can be described by its own formula. Some of them will also touch (6,6,72). But others of them will touch (6,6, {something else entirely}) instead. This might sound really, really pedantic. But it's not. Everyone knows that the expected answer is the simple one, but that's only on a test... a fake artificial made up problem. When we start trying to do this in the real world, which, after all is what this "IQ" thing is actually for, then using the same kind of "IQ test thinking" can get you in trouble. "My 3-month-old son is now TWICE as big as when he was born. He's on track to weigh 7.5 trillion pounds by age 10." -@pronounced_kyle Fitting the simplest-formula curve, as opposed to the correct curve, makes our predictions of real-world stuff dead wrong. So this kind of test question promotes a dangerous habit of thought. But, Devon, I hear some of you ask, doesn't the principle of Occam's Razor demand that we fit the simplest curve? No. No, it does not. It does not require that we select the simplest possible answer, given what we have currently seen. It requires that we prefer hypotheses that make fewer assumption to those that make more. These are two different things entirely. If I see one black sheep, the simplest hypothesis is that all sheep are black. The hypothesis requiring the fewest assumptions is that at least one sheep is black on at least one side. You will note which of these is correct. All of this is, of course, irrelevant to questions on IQ test. But questions on an IQ test only matter as much as they are relevant to the actual universe... Where ideas like this are very relevant indeed.

Every man on this earth will get this

Jorge Soler's monster home run in Game 6 of the 2021 World Series 🚀

@Seun_Tobaakin @MattWalshBlog If someone doesn’t have the mental stability to not know whether abducting, taking off their clothes, and killing a 7 year old girl is right or wrong, and they do said thing, they should be killed

@MattWalshBlog I’m quite sure he is mentally unstable to have determined whether his actions were right or wrong at such a trivia point but I think it’s more of a spiritual voodoo attack on him

I am challenging any death penalty opponent — there are millions of them, allegedly — to step up to the plate right now and explain why this guy should not be executed. His guilt is established beyond any doubt whatsoever. His crime is utterly savage and heinous. Tell us why he doesn’t deserve to die. Go ahead.

I already know they beat yall like 13-2

How is a 3 year old better than me wtf

@VikingoArtico @JomboyMedia This is the classiest way to do it. No throwing at heads, arms, ribs or legs.

@JomboyMedia But why in the ass?

Ronald Acuña Jr. left the game after being hit by a pitch for the second time, then in the bottom of the inning Bryce Elder plunked CJ Abrams in the ass

@IndyDrew5 Stroder

Braves are looking really good and yet: - Ace Swellenbach 0 IP - All Star SP Stroder 0 IP - two best young arms are hurt (AJSS/Waldy) - Acuna hasn't hit for power - we are atrocious stealing/picked off - $44M in Murphy, Profar, Kim 0 GP - Yaz 💩

A baby at 32 weeks in the womb was caught smiling the moment she heard her dad’s voice during a routine ultrasound. The scan showed the unborn girl breaking into a clear smile as soon as her father started speaking. By this stage of pregnancy, babies can hear sounds from outside the womb and often recognize their parents’ voices. An unforgettable moment. Life is truly precious.

Looks legit

Would take $5 mill even if it meant my credit score was set at 0 wtf is this question

@BaseballWRLD_ Sale?
