They were under strict time pressure and going line by line. The way people read is more holistic than that. You sometimes won't comprehend things in paragraph one until you get to the later context in paragraph three. My approach to something like this in real life would be to read the whole sample first, not go line by line. Under time pressure and without the greater context, they guess and sloppily try to figure it out.

Listen, we can quibble about some details here but at the end of the day the idea that this study proves they can't read is obviously not true. It's sensationalized journo-science.

I want to be optimistic too, but it's not looking too good with the other examples on hand even if we're not laser focusing on the ye olde lit.
Especially with the people responding or understanding on par with this.

Okay you have twenty minutes from now, record yourself to prove you can read.
problem is that they couldn't comprehend this

'There was mud everywhere such that it would appear the Great Flood had just ended, and it wouldn't be so surprising to see a dinosaur walking around.'

I didn't need to take two years of college as an English major to be able to parse that sentence the first time I read it.

I reiterate, these niggers can't read.

So that's a no then, you aren't going to prove you can read? You have 16 and a half minutes left if you want to give it a shot.
 
I recently binge rewatched TNG and I was really struck by the repetition of the plotline where war and/or destruction of the Enterprise almost happens because of a misunderstanding but once everyone understand each other they all behave like rational actors and everything is peachy

I would call that protowoke. It's a refusal to acknowledge irrationality, stupidity, and the enjoyment of hatred. It's a very dangerous mindset that is still running a lot of the West.
That's mainly a result of Roddenberry being an uber-idealist who believed humans could become so rational that children would one day accept the death of a parent without shedding a tear.
The pilot of DS9 was basically the writers of that series calling Gene out on how implausible that mindset is.
 
You seem to have failed to read the portion of the instructions where you need to be doing this out loud and you need to do the whole text.
You failed to read:
The reason the time limit is bullshit is because it's a lot of text if you're supposed to actually line-by-line recompose it in modern English. Forty or sixty minutes would've been fine.
but please continue to have an autistic pants-filling fit over the clear fact these people cannot read at the level that they are supposed to be at for a collegiate English course.

Yes, they absolutely should not be having reactions where they think the section about 'big whiskers' is referring to a fucking cat, or that Dickens was describing ambulatory fossils slouching uphill like some necromancer was at work.

You're being retarded.
 
Cross-posting from the True Crime thread, Transgender edition thread. TL;DR- stereotypical Reddit Troon stabbed his wife to death.

Several political-related notes to the topic: https://www.themainewire.com/2025/0...previously-hosted-ask-a-trans-woman-anything/ (archive)
Reya N. Jasmin, 36, a transgender-identifying New Hampshire man, is facing charges for allegedly stabbing his wife to death on Sunday in an apparent murder-suicide attempt. He had previously headlined the local library’s “Ask a Transgender Woman Anything” event.

No need to ask a transexual “woman” why the penchant for violence. We know the answer: they are psychotic monstrosities.

The initial press release [from the New Hampshire Attorney General’s office] referred to Reya Jasmine as a man, without giving his name, while subsequent press releases began referring to the alleged murderer as a woman.

The liberal establishment is also psychotic, which explains why it has been ramming transsexualism down the throats of humanity.

An autopsy conducted on Margaret Jasmin’s remains found multiple stab wounds and confirmed that her death was a homicide.

Fortunately, a child living in the home — evidently Jasmin’s 9-year-old son — was reportedly uninjured.
The Attorney General’s press releases … appeared to intentionally conceal the fact that Jasmin is a transgender-identifying male.

Note that the New Hampshire Attorney General is a Republican, so another "muh principles" faggot who coddles troons even in murder cases. These are the same subhumans who pearl clutch about "muh democracy," "muh decency" and "Trump is taking over the GOP."

Regarding the “Ask a Transgender Woman Anything!” event,
The event seemed to be at least somewhat directed towards children, based on a post from the library showing a display of books, including LGBTQ children’s books, set up for the event.

Not long ago, we watched horror movies about psychopaths who dressed up as women and committed ghastly crimes. Thanks to neoliberalism, we don’t need to watch horror movies anymore; we are living in one.

On direct orders from President Trump: After the attack outside the Jewish Museum, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will make a quick visit to Israel this evening.


Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will visit Israel on Sunday following the murder of Israeli embassy employees in Washington, per the instructions of US President Donald Trump.

Noem is expected to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, and will arrive at the Western Wall on Sunday.
 
Why would heaven need a stock market?
Even fucking Hazbin Hotel managed to mostly get this right. For as much as that series fucks around with theology to appeal to the creator's fetish for gay ships, it still portrays Heaven as an objectively appealing place that people in Hell want to get to.
Too bad all the fans are so Reddit-brained that they assume since the main character is a demon chick it automatically makes Heaven a worse place by default.
 
Since I've seen a few posts and rambling this and that's discussing in detail that a shocking amount of humanity regardless of race is walking around being functionality illiterate.
Are we sure this is a humanity problem and not just a standard 'Burger education is woefully inadequate' problem? Because I'm English and I could understand that passage perfectly well. I think a lot of English people could understand that passage perfectly well. I suppose I might be generous and say the problem is that American English and British English have evolved so separately that older examples of British English are incomprehensible to younger Americans, but there's no way I see only 15% of British readers being functionally incapable of understanding that passage.

I'll write down in my notes, "Subject did not manage to verbalize a single line of the text in the allotted time period. Subject got angry and hurled insults for the duration of the allotted test period instead. Subject indicated more time would be appropriate, but failed to offer any indication they would do anything with the additional time besides continuing the same pattern. Subject insisted he was way smarter than people who made more progress on the test than he did because they made some errors along the way, but his total 0% completion rate renders such claims ridiculous.

Subject also failed basic literacy test as regards a simple modern English sentence, parsing:
Listen, we can quibble about some details here but at the end of the day the idea that this study proves they can't read is obviously not true. It's sensationalized journo-science.
as:

Alternatively, subject is simply aware the original statement was obviously true and decided to shift the goalposts because he is in an angry insult hurling mood and wishes to avoid being seen as a person who hurls insults and calls people stupid when he is in fact the one who is wrong on the internet."
