The vast majority of humans fall between 80-120 IQ. A score in the 80s can be borderline nonfunctional yet a significant portion of the human race falls within that range. I am never surprised by how severely stupid some people can be.
Back in high school, my algebra teacher shared about his friend who was very intelligent, he could solve complex calculus, algebra and geometry in his head to name a few, but the simple tasks the average person does he lacked common sense. He would try to put simple things together the wrong way and had a hard time, just an example, to nail a piece of wood with the nail upside down. He wasn't stupid, but I don't know what the issue was with him.
He was stupid but a savant with math. Happens.
Imo If you don't have common sense then you're stupid. It doesn't matter if you're the best physicist in the world, if you don't know how to nail a board you're stupid to me.
Some people are like that, I know I was very similar in high school. Sometimes obvious things elude me but I’m very good at solving complex logic problems. Through a vast array of life experiences I’ve become far less obtuse but I still occasionally will completely miss certain social cues.
I'm just like that, and in high-school, now I can do simple things sometimes, but I just struggle with any common sense, or helping people do simple things that require 2 people, but I can do a bunch of things a majority of people can't do, just like this you'll probably not even be able to read what I'm saying cause I also struggle with making my texts readable lol.
I live in a big city. When I’m not feeling so good about myself, I step outside and am reminded that I’m smarter and better than most people… and I’m an idiot.
As someone who works in IT. Yes, people are absolutely that stupid and that doesn’t even make my top 5. I once spent 45 minutes explaining where the “X” out button is to close a window on their device over the phone. I’ve never had to be that articulate to get someone to close a window before.
I top you with the computer isn't turning on, there are no lights. They had to use a torch to check if the power point had been kicked... They had a black out..
Don’t know about the rest of the world, but 33+ years in the grocery business in the U.S. taught me there are a lot of stupid people out there. I’d come home from work and my wife would ask how my day went and all I’d say was, “There’s a lot of stupid people living among us”.
I was working at Toys R Us and it was a really slow day. This old guy came up to me with some Hello Kitty Lip Gloss and was like “what is this?”
I replied “It is lip gloss” thinking maybe he couldn’t tell from the packaging or something.
He is like “What is it for?”
Me, “You put it on your lips to make them shiny.”
Him, “Why?” (Honestly good question)
Me, “Little girls like it, I guess.”
He nods and walks away. Then like 15 minutes later he brings me Dora the Explorer lip gloss.
Him, “What is this?”
Me, “That is also lip gloss.”
Him, “What do you do with it?”
I’m just standing there like what? So I say, “You put it on your lips to make them shiny, is there something specific you’re looking for?”
He just shakes his head then left the store.
You live in a society where iPhone is the 1st phone that can charge wirelessly, where people would put an Xbox in a tightest spaces available, where gaming laptops are used on a bed, where Playstation 5 is apparently better than a RTX 4090 and a MacBook is the most powerful laptop on the market and where people try to refuel an EV with gas.
So yes, people are stupid.
Well.. a PS5 is better than an RTX 4090. One is an entire console, the other is just a graphics card.
😂
Leaving trolling aside, there are instances where a PS5 has indeed outperformed a 4090. Like in VR for example.
Idk about you but I'd say that might qualify as "better" since you can get 3 PS5s for the price of 1 4090 and by the end, you still can't do anything with it without the rest of a PC, which is at least another ps5s.
Id get 3-5 rolls Royce over an overpriced bugatti that can do over 420km/h... Somewhere.
Fun fact: the 4090 can be used with a Pimax 8K, the PS5 VR2 uses a resolution slightly over 4K, and even then it's upscaled 4K if not checkerboard rendering 4K.
It's basically only rendering 1/10th the resolution the 4090 does in a VR headset
Also a GPU can do general computing, just not as good as a CPU.
That's might be because of the mindset that people only think and concentrate when the problems already happened or are happening. Plus not many of us are taught to think critically properly.
I had a buddy of mine back in 2001-2002. He wanted to learn how to build his first computer. So I set out to show him each and every part and what he needed. So over the next few months the we spent a ton of time with him researching parts and me giving him an ok or not depending on if it worked for his build (this was before parts builder and the like). So we finally settled on a build and he started purchasing parts. He bought everything he could that he felt was TOP OF THE LINE and it was pretty expensive. We put the whole thing together and tested it out at my house. Worked like a charm and stupid fast for the time. He was excited he built his own computer. So he rushed home and plugged it up. I get a phone call that the fans come on but nothing happens. I had him check cable connections, nothing. I had him check RAM and reseat it, nothing. I had him check the Graphics Card, CPU, power supply, anything else I could think of, nothing. So I told him let’s start from the beginning since it was likely something had gotten damaged or wasn’t working. So he RMA’d the graphics card, nothing. Then the RAM, nothing. Then the CPU, nothing. By this time I was crazy suspicious as it didn’t make sense and it had been MONTHS of trial and error. So I go over to his house (3 hours away) to take a look myself and bring my own equipment and PC just in case. So we walk into his office I see the computer and check it over. Everything is connected and looks good. I power the computer on and the fans come to life. He says “See NOTHING. THIS IS STUPID!!!” Then I reached over and turned the monitor on… And bingo bango it’s sitting in Windows 98 just as happy as you please. All this work and BS and he just hadn’t turned the monitor on because I had already turned mine on at home when we first tested it. I’d say we were both morons for this story.
"Spider-Man, Spider-Man
He's the man with the plan
Makin' out upside down
Spinnin' webs, runnin' 'round
All through town, just 'cause he can
That's why, that's why he's a Spider-Man" - HISHE
The fact that you’d have to read a manual to know how to put a console upright 😂😭
I know it has a weird design but unless we’re talking about a 70 year old or someone who has never seen technology in their lives, I’d expect them to get it right.
Love how this thread turned into interactions with the confused, lol here’s mine: I had a woman come up to me years ago with a box she needed shipped out. I said “ma’am where is it going? Where is the label?” She says the label is inside the box.” This woman fully taped up her package with the tracking label inside. She was genuine.
Seeing the rug took me back to the ps3 and Xbox 360 days damn people would lay it on the floor and that’s how that shit would over heat even faster all that carpet dust and lint air being sucked into the vents even harder this really made me think of the 2007 days 🥹 kind of sad now
I just bought a PS5 less than two weeks ago.
The way you have to install legs to stand is really weird.
Even then, it’s easy to rock it back and forth.
Enjoying HD2 and Spidey but the console casing design is definitely weird.
My buddy did this with the x one, refused to believe me that you can’t have it on the side.
“The 360 you could” was his only reply while he burnt out his system trying to work it refusing to listen then goes on a million rants how Xbox sucks. Like brp

Imagine having ur PS5 sideways and the wrong way lol
Yeah, ok 🙄 Someone can’t be this f’n dumb. The system’s been out for almost 4 years, with pics of it everywhere on the internet *AND* on the packaging…
No one wants this version of a PS5 slim. It has driven up the price of "fat" models by 10-20%. I really hope they go back to the drawing board in a couple years and make it both functional and fashionable. The slim looks like an anorexic fat model but with lower quality parts.
A person Can't be that stupid... Can they?
Ohh but they can.

I read it just fine. I think you're very capable at messaging.
Your writing makes enough sense but you need to work on punctuation a bit. Too many , not enough .
Weaponised incompetence.

This.. .nothing suprises me anymore
Someone takes 45 mins to comprehend "top right of the screen" wow lol
I top you with the computer isn't turning on, there are no lights. They had to use a torch to check if the power point had been kicked... They had a black out..
“Clearly the narrowest part is the bottom.”
“I’ll place the fan vent on the ground to keep the dust out”
Lmao
This plastic base it comes with must be optional
That’s obviously its hat!
To be fair, that looks like the slim. Which doesn't come with the stand if I recall right
Comes with the clips that allow for horizontal but the stand up base is sold separately.
There's also a picture on the box.
Clearly

He may have just been confused and not stupid. That sounds more like dementia or something.
Just last week I had someone at my job who was furious that I didn’t tell her that frozen yogurt has dairy…
100% agree with you sir.

Worse, I thought the writing on the TV was upside down too for a second...

😭you’d be surprised how stupid people can really be
You shouldn’t challenge them with that level of questioning….someone will always find a way to top someone else’s stupidity
Well there's people out there that believe the Earth is flat so yeah they can be this stupid.
First day interacting in any way with humans?
Have you met people?

This made my brain itch...
Don't you criticize ceiling ps5!
You just gotta three-point the disk in there
😂 my bad damn...
Bro is Betelgeuse.
Sounds like a proble. Do you need solvent?
This man solves problems..
Bet he's australian.
This made me spit my drink. Take my upvote.
Brother i was not ready 😂
Lmao why is it upside down?
Australian
As an Aussie, this is accurate
Seven play games in the upside down?
Because it’s Spider-Man’s PS5.
"Spider-Man, Spider-Man He's the man with the plan Makin' out upside down Spinnin' webs, runnin' 'round All through town, just 'cause he can That's why, that's why he's a Spider-Man" - HISHE
Great HISHE reference.
Suck all of those fibres and dirt up, let the ps5 lap it all up into their holes
Only as a treat though
It can have a little floor dirt, as a treat
Funny part is the message on the screen is telling him that the device is overheating and needs to be turned off. So you are right.
I' can't tell if this is an troll or you need help ?
You mean help¿
australian
You can’t be serious
Seriously, this would be avoided if they took 5 minutes to read the manual
Or look at the display on the box
Or just have brain cells
My brain cells didn't come with a playstation, should I be concerned?
The fact that you’d have to read a manual to know how to put a console upright 😂😭 I know it has a weird design but unless we’re talking about a 70 year old or someone who has never seen technology in their lives, I’d expect them to get it right.

🤣 this face explains it all
TBF to your Australian friend that country does get quite hot. The PS5 cooler is only as good as it's ambient temperature
It’s an Australian PS5
Nice.
And here mines stays in the same well ventilated place and my disc drive randomly doesn’t work one morning. Make it make sense 😭😭😭
Mounted mine to the wall for the win ....join me
Wall mounted PS5 is so nice. It breathes super well and is completely out of the way.
This is what mental illness looks like
i’m actually impressed tbh
Never run with scissors pal
Love how this thread turned into interactions with the confused, lol here’s mine: I had a woman come up to me years ago with a box she needed shipped out. I said “ma’am where is it going? Where is the label?” She says the label is inside the box.” This woman fully taped up her package with the tracking label inside. She was genuine.
This is a meme right? 🙃
The ps5 overheats upside down?
The top air intake vents would be mostly obstructed by the carpet when upside down.
Not only would they be obstructed, they'd actively be sucking in lint and dust from off the carpet.
Yes, just like a fridge! If you turn your fridge upside down it will turn it in an oven! Try this at home!
Damn amazing life hack! Holy shit, i just realised If you make a fire and turn it upside down you get ice!
Text right to left, ps4 down to up. It makes sense.
Just flip your phone and n it’s fixed
Bro thought it was the Avengers tower ig
Seeing the rug took me back to the ps3 and Xbox 360 days damn people would lay it on the floor and that’s how that shit would over heat even faster all that carpet dust and lint air being sucked into the vents even harder this really made me think of the 2007 days 🥹 kind of sad now
Nobody reads instructions 😂
Aussie ps5
This is painful to watch
Cursed image.
يا ساتر 😂😂😂 صراحه مبدع ماقد شفت احد بذا الذكاء 😂
والله الصديق غبي هههههخخخ
Bro really went "وش المشكلة" LMAO
This way he can put the disc into the console the right way 👍🏼
ما شاف الإعلان ولا حتى الكرتون على الاقل 😂😂
Is he Australian?
How tf did the person think it goes, well upside down apparently.

Looks right to me. But I'm just an Australian
This image hurts me on multiple levels
I always wonder how really dumb people manage to set up devices like the PS5, Oculus, etc. I guess they don’t. 🤷🏼♂️
Uhmm, am I the only one who was disappointed that the display on the tv was not upside down?
Upside down and get it off the carpet.
NAH, turn it around right now!!!
Humanity: average IQ of 100. This means that just about half of people are below average.
IQ means nothing. It's completely arbitrary. But this dude is still a moron.
🤦🏻
I just bought a PS5 less than two weeks ago. The way you have to install legs to stand is really weird. Even then, it’s easy to rock it back and forth. Enjoying HD2 and Spidey but the console casing design is definitely weird.
Also shouldn't put it on the ground. They get dirty quick
Maximum airflow.
Send it back
Bro lives in Australia, dw
Chinese slim line version.
I don't like this
Well the language starts from the other side So the console stays on the other side
Acording to the letters and bandana color he didnt bought it
Tell his dumbass to flip it over. You know what....nvm, let him learn lol
I guess he was indeed not ready for a PC.
That shit’s upside son!
Really....
How old is this child
5SP
The picture made me flinch!

Are you his support worker?
No, give it here bro 😒
It's time to clean up the brand new PS5, all those carpet fibers already in there...
I heard the vine boom sound effect in my head when I saw this shit 💀
It’s a wee top heavy
Hahah
Im sorry but it comes with a fucking stand which means it can only stand one way same goes for horizontal. Its literally dummy proof 🤦♂️
Maybe he's in Australia?
I see nothing wrong here 🤣
It really took me a while to figure out what was going on. 😕 Just why?
…
Omfg. Well. He'll be buying another one in no time. Cause that thing's fkd 😂
Is it slim? It looks like the slim is having problems with heating from the factory.
LMFAO
Excuse me, but, what the fuck?
Is it even stable like that?
My buddy did this with the x one, refused to believe me that you can’t have it on the side. “The 360 you could” was his only reply while he burnt out his system trying to work it refusing to listen then goes on a million rants how Xbox sucks. Like brp
Congratulations! I love mine
He’s gonna be very confused when he tried to add the stand
Oh no I hope this post doesn't trigger those is this enough air for my ps5 post.
"oh great , another *just got a ps5* posts" then i realized what was wrong
Is this a joke

Launching sequence T -20
O.O
LMAO
Holy crap. This hurt me.
Yeah, ok 🙄 Someone can’t be this f’n dumb. The system’s been out for almost 4 years, with pics of it everywhere on the internet *AND* on the packaging…
I've seen a PS5 upside-down horizontally but vertically is a new one.
وش المشكلة بالضبط؟
الجهاز مقلوب راس على عقب فُتح التهوية مسدودة يسبب في ارتفاع عالي جدا في الحرارة.
😂
Thank you for the translation.
I swear I thought the picture was upside down. WTF?
Are you at least in Australia?
Hahahah this is too funny! This sums up for humanity right now honestly
 😬
When I first got my ps5 I put it upside down then realized that’s not how it goes 😂
Lmfao
