    I remember reading that when national parks tried to make a ‘bear-proof’ trashcan, they found that there was a larger overlap between the smartest bear and the stupidest human to make a viable product.

    I feel like it’s a similar situation here. The smartest kid and the stupidest adult are far more similar than we’d like to admit.

      Tbh I find it much more surprising that there’s an overlap of bears and stupid people than I do smart kids and dumb adults.

      I’ve met an unfortunate amount of people that would struggle to dump water out of their boots with the instructions written on the bottom of the sole.

    “Redditors of Reddit, how do you sexily sex the sex out of sexy sex???”

    Serious response: you can’t really make a very general rule. There are a lot of people who write quite maturely since their teens, and a lot of people who are morons since their teens and have endless dedication and determination to remain in that state for as long as they breathe.

      I do remember some posts on r/sex back in the day that were absolutely kids (teens) and you could tell by how

      • Freaked out they were about totally normal stuff.
      • Excited they were about how great sex is.

      I remember there was a funny day when there were two top upvoted posts on r/sex (probably in like 2017) where one was like

      • It turns me on when my boyfriend masturbates to me, am I normal?

      And the other one was like

      • I (female bodied, they/them / nb) am a furry and my wife and I like to pretend that I’m a wolf and I’m hunting and eating her. What can we make that will look and feel like real organs I can “rip” out of her stomach and eat, and what could we use for fake blood that would be the easiest to clean up?

      People kept linking the second one in the first one and reassuring this poor girl that she’s totally normal.

        Absolutely based, all the rest of us plebs just need to learn about the depth and power of their kinkiness. Cheers to their banquet.

    When they start calling people “jr” or implying anyone who disagrees with them is too young to understand.

      Yup, I immediately assume these people are children, because it likely comes from their own experiences being dismissed due to their age.

      Generally when people bring up some personal detail, my immediate reaction is to assume the opposite. Especially if it begins with “as a.” For example: “as a woman,” this person is a man. “As a black person,” this is the whitest person you will ever meet. “As a 60 year old,” definitely ten.

      Skeet? Really? Lil Jon’s “Get Low” came out 22 years ago.

      Now if they had said “Skibidi” that would be a different story.

      Tbh, no. I expected they would be about 32 using the word “skeet.” I’d expect the youth of today to say “cummies” or some other abject disgrace of a word lol.
