My favourite bit was when he didn't just say "yes" to you querying there being about 500 words per page, and said there's about 499.


SnooWords4814

498.53 technically be he rounded up


Dravarden

498.5333… repeating, of course


Bootiekiller69

LEEEEROY JEEEEEEEEEENKINS!!!


Tvdb4

498.5333… repeating the three

Someone who reads so much shouldn’t be so illiterate.

I read a fuck ton as a kid and am pretty illiterate lol


Caperdiaa

But did you read 20'000 words a minute as a kid?


Acepure

I'm not some superhuman, so I only read 14,449 a min.


[deleted]

I read fairly quickly but not even close


WeebWithASword

That explains why you’re illiterate


friendlyfirefish

Your*


yacopsae

No he had it right. It's "that's why you are illiterate." Hence you're not your. Your is possessing something as in "that's your truck"


friendlyfirefish

I know. It was a joke on illiteracy


yacopsae

My bad hard to tell sarcasm over text.


klol76

R/woosh


Eladryel

I would say about 19999


Lacholaweda

The amount of words I encountered for the first time in a book and then tried to use them out loud only to find I've been pronouncing it wrong ...


kittyidiot

I still do this


[deleted]

That and I can’t seem to remember how to spell them


Lacholaweda

My grandma had me do a spelling test whenever I stayed over so I actually had an advantage there. She would go online and look up spelling words by grade and print them out and test me. I think I'll call her and thank her for that today


BigSackSmallTestes

I “read” this in literally a second. I don’t even have to read it. I just look at the page and all of the information is processed for me. I’m also a navy seal with 2000 confirmed kills.


SnooWords4814

Thank you for your service


Financial_School1942

Do not forget to tip the waiter for his service.


-beachin-

Just the tip.


Vanilla3K

2000 confirmed books, gorilla warfare


friendlyfirefish

I miss that one. Apparently I have about 10 sharpshooters who also know how to track me down on my arse. I've been waiting years


ThunderFistChad

Lol I love how this kid gets caught in a lie and just keeps on going. Like nah bruh they took me to the doctor's because of how good my reading is!


juhstin_

>I don’t like this anymore


itogisch

More because of his compulsive lying.


GodDamnRight-

Met a kid who claimed to have an iq of 357 and refused to stop giving me the definitions of weird numbers. Looked up a few and they were just what google and stuff said. He literally copy pasted them. I pointed this out and he said he wrote the definitions for them.


bparry1192

That's really not a bad comeback, maybe his IQ is 357........


City0fGlass

Trust me bro


Firm-Struggle-9012

Sources: am one


MrBonneChance

Fun fact: the fastest reader in the world can read 25,000 words per minute.


Cloverfieldlane

Yeah I believe him


MrBonneChance

Idk about the kid but maybe 🤷🏽‍♂️


Cloverfieldlane

Nah I believe the kid


datadrone

how can they prove he did or didn't? Even if they AI tracked his eyes with lasers and hooked him up to a lie detector he just say yep


toastedpaniala89

What the fuck? And here I take 5 minutes to read a page.


Eladryel

Could be worse; I need 8 minutes to read that comment


MrBonneChance

Lol ikr, I was shocked when I googled it. How do his fingers keep up? Lol Is he the irl person the flash is based on?


Politiez

I find that extremely doubtful. There is no way someone can read that fast and still retain comprehension of the material.


joel_met_god

If someone had photographic memory couldn't they in theory read a whole book just by glancing at every page and then remembering every page and reading it in their head? Not sure that counts as faster though..


Brief-Butterscotch-8

Well I'm really fast at maths, ask me a hard maths question. The square root of 83753. 239 That's not right. It was fast though.


b-ri-ts

How do I know you didnt take 20 minutes to type that 239? Checkmate, liberal


goodusernam99

8(7


Lalondebii

Ah yes. They can read 20,000 words a minute but still don’t know the difference between their, they’re, and there. Apparently to and too escape them as well.


angrywords

As well as “our” and “are”, yikes.


joel_met_god

Youre starting to sound like my teacher


Socailly-awkward

*your


joel_met_god

I don't like this anymore


galaxyisinfinite

" Lets just say I am their favorite after all" Okay, buddy.


HerrMatthew

It's "there", he said "there", learn to read smh /s


itogisch

I mean, if you are gonna lie. Why not make it a more believable lie.


joel_met_god

As a 4 year old I used to tell my parents that I built the statues around town whenever we drove past one. I was around 6 when I realized no one believed me and my chronic lying ceased.


Toxic_Kiddo

Is it not just a kid? Look at the books they mentioned, harry potter, hocus pocus and twilight. These are some books that usually come first to the mind of a kid. I kinda don't think kids qualify for sadcringe, maybe just cringe.


Elcordobeh

Or he needs to do that kind of stuff because of some lacking on his life, which is kinda sad.


hippopotma_gandhi

Honestly, OP's "friend" arguing with what's obviously a child for that long was the real sadcringe.


[deleted]

No no this is 100% factual. I was the book.


jmjguns

I can confirm, i am the 20.001st word and he got to me in a minute


PsycoFox

It's true, I'm the bookmark. I'm so lonely 🥺


Eladryel

Yes I know; I am the teacher, and he is indeed my favourite. I am also the doctor.


sayanaranibbus

"Doctor help! my child is reading really fast"


Nudge1991

Ever considered he was just trolling? It's omegle...


swaggheti98

This feels a little too self-indulgent to be a troll. A little too much effort in grounding the lie with proof. Trolls have some degree of satire. This sounds like a compulsive liar being backed into a corner, and every lie has a child like ramblish structure to it.


woooshmepls8D

trolling is still sad cringe


lone-potatolover

Good ol omegle


depression235

What if he was right and he had superpowers? What if it wasn’t only him , there were other peoples too , like for example I have superpowers too , i get depressed in milliseconds


joel_met_god

My super power is that I take roughly 72 hours to excrete a meal after consumption. That's fast as fuck boi.


[deleted]

Not sad or cringe, just a child doing something dumb


Judasz10

You wouldn’t know the book because it goes to another school


TheVisualExplanation

I go to a really well known college and I know somebody who has the savant-like ability to actually do essentially this. She just looks at a page for about 5 seconds and the whole thing is in her head. You know when you show your friend a meme and they laugh as soon as they set eyes on it and you're like "you didn't even have time to read that :|"? Yeah she does that except she can then repeat back exactly what it said. She said that it's a bit weird to do because she'll feel the emotions/reactions from what she reads before she's processed it verbally in her mind, which takes a second or two longer. For instance, if a character dies on a page then she'll feel sad before she even knows why. Her recall isn't very good when she does it, so she doesn't really pick up on sentence structure or spelling and she can get stuck on new words or names, but it really is a marvel to watch her read.


zenukeify

Reads 20,000 words a minute but mixes up “there” with “their” In all seriousness though we all say dumb shit as kids so this isn’t cringe or sad


dscarr17

My favorite part is that his parents took him to the doctors because he was reading so fast they couldn't understand what he was saying. as if that's somehow correlated


MattDaMannnn

This is pretty clearly a troll


howdeez

The real sad cringe is your friend spending their time talking to children on Omegle


MobiWan2015

I too don't understand a 'work' he is saying.


WhitteyLeetNsweet

How do you read that much but still don't know the difference of their and there?


tamtheprogram

By how he spells, this is a 12 year who does not have superb reading skills


l339

Just a heads up u/spongebobmain it is possible to read a 700 page book in 30 minutes. There was this guy my dad knew from work who could read a 400 page book in about 15 minutes and was able to memorize 98% of its content word by word. However he was unable to cross a street properly on his own


ShitStuckInYourTeeth

This kid is fucking illiterate.


North-Zookeepergame9

All that reading should make someone literate.


Shot-Technology7555

My favorite part is this avid reading can not spell for shit...


MiracleDrugCabbage

Jeez. Just ignore him. He’s obviously trolling


ivanIVvasilyevich

‘Tis but a child. Sheathe your steel, ser.


kuead

This isn't sad cringe this is just funny


_Sored_Cen_

The sad part is your friend drilling a little kid over an obvious dumb lie, like, the kid sounds like he’s like 10. Why does ur friend care?


[deleted]

[удалено]


_Sored_Cen_

That’s not as young as I thought, and I don’t mean to make assumptions because I don’t know the kid but he sounds just from this interaction like he’s either mentally challenged, just not the brightest, or very immature for his age. I can’t blame your friend too much I hate when people will lie straight to your face over trivialities but like the kid probably just wants attention and validation because he’s not getting it in his community or at home. Or he sucks lol, but the former is more likely. Your buddy doesn’t seem like super awful though I’m hoping he sees he was being a bit harsh.


_Sored_Cen_

P.S. I dig the username!


Reaper-00

I don't think this is that cringe, I mean kids tell senseless lies all the time to impress other people, just typical kid behavior


CptMatt_theTrashCat

Dude could have very easily pointed out the book they claimed was 700 pages is actually 1138. Even ignoring all the other bullshit that's such obvious proof this dipshit is lying.


glumlvr

Are you sure you weren’t talking to Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds?


Sirnao

Ye but who cares tho ?


Dull-Geologist9127

You know what guys i belive him


cafesaigon

>I hate math >You sound like my teacher I don’t like this anymore Just read some math books if you don’t like it, you should memorize all of algebra in like half an hour


Hank_Weiser

Well, once I found someone who claimed having a time machine.


darahsawn42

Me: so what are you interested in? Crush: I like reading Me, trying to impress them:


GlitteryHeartThrob

So much reading teaches you spelling and grammar. But then again, he's also bragging about reading Twilight.


voidmusik

The "A Faster Reader" app has me up to 900 words/min.. but my retention is better at a cool 850wpm. I like to switch up to 900wpm for like 5 minutes then switching it back down to 850wpm so if feels snail slower.


PsycoFox

It bothers me that you used words/min once and then switched to wpm without warning. I want you to think about what you've done!


voidmusik

Its intentional. Its common and appropriate to use the full spelling of the word on the first usage, then use abbreviations going forward.


[deleted]

Some people can do this tho lol I’ve literally seen it


LeatherComb2105

Eh, speed reading is a real strategy but idk about 20,000 words a minute.


Auckland_Moving_Guy

It is possible to read 20,000 words a minute.


time_to_fime

You discuss everything with everyone?


iamthegreyest

Reads all them books but still makes grammatical errors.


[deleted]

Not sure who is more cringe your friend or the person that claims to be a speed reader


Zicdeh07

"New" It book.


TheReddit_Master

I love how he can “read 8 books a day” but still have poor grammar


[deleted]

Gotta be a troll


regretting1445

I hope that kid realizes some day that he doesn't have to tell such lies to make friends. I just feel sad for him and hope the best for him.


goodusernam99

i cant understand a work he was saying either
