i keep telling the local protein powder club they need a new name
Little too high. Almost 60% of Americans are at a 5th grade reading level or lower. That's 10-11.
Though, I suppose age 12 grabs a slightly higher percentage.
When I (briefly) pursued a career in journalism we were told to generally write for a target audience of ~6th-7th grade.
Makes sense.
Noooo. Really?
Edit:
In 2024, 21 percent of adults in the U.S. were found to be illiterate, while 54 percent of adults had a literacy below a sixth grade level, according to the National Literacy Institute.
What the fuck.
And that surprise isn't at the individuals. Not their fault. Just trying to get my head around how a developed nation could be like that...
Edit Edit: I'm still trying to get my head around this. I get around Europe feeling like a fucking moron for only being basic level bilingual.

They gotta have people who will fight wars to make the rich even richer.
Developed nation can be like that when those in power want the masses to be gullible and compliant.
Texas GOP 2012 plank on education:
We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.
"We are in a race between education and oblivion" -R B Fuller
Very true words. If only 54% of people could read them, apparently.
But Oblivion already came out. Twice.
"We're in a race between education and Skyrim Remastered"
Honestly I'm probably at. 6th grade level for math and grammar etc... streetwise... I'm a sage.
Depends on the source, but unfortunately even the highest is like 8th grade.
The actual data is pretty complex, but it's suffice to say that we're not educating our kids to good.
not educating our kids to good
I see what you did there.
At least, I hope it was intentional.
Lol, yeah. I'm no genius, but I like to think that I came out of the US educational system while it was still working to some extent. That was a long time ago. The kids in the past few decades, and the ones during Covid... I will never blame them for what we've done to them.
age 12 grabs
This snippet in the context of Trump
It is scary to see how this guy could nail us down in such a comic way. if everybody is as mature as a 12 year old boy it could explain a lot of things
The idea that anyone "grows up" at all is a fallacy we've all bought into because of victorian-age ideas of culture and etiquette.
Nobody moves out of childhood. We just add more and more layers around it, increasing the complexity of childhood. You have the same brain you've always had buried in there, it just has continued to expand and branch out, but at the core, your "inner child" is still the one feeling all the feelings, still reacting the same way to new things, still striving for one peaceful day where you can play with your toys and daydream. Still pulling all the strings.
Every last one of us is just looking to have those same feelings back, of having all the time in the world to play and run around and feel like everything is fresh and amazing.
But now we're just children who understand interest rates, alternators and city services. And many don't even understand that much and just cling to whatever toys and distractions still make them feel even a little secure and safe.
A sad, but factual reality.
[screaming in educated American]
I prefer to yawp.
What if I want a farm and no kids?
You fool. Who will milk the steer? You? Lol.
Have 12 spouses and let them each squirt out a babyslave. Leather. Rinse (literally). Repeat. ...?... Profit.
Milk the steer
Uh....
Do I need to add the /s? It seems like people are not understanding.
Milk the steer
You don’t milk steer.
That's the joke ;)
You never know on this platform. Too many city slickers.
Those who have never watched Kingpin are without God's love and light.
No, but you will have to, unless you have 12 spouses and 36 kids.
I don’t mind that.
Except it’s kind of hard to milk castrated male cattle.
I’d prefer pigs anyway.
ITT: My fellow Americans are outing themselves.
Its okay, we're all allowed to learn. Just for the love of all that anyone finds holy, PLEASE learn. Learn something.
Yes, like the difference between bull, cow, and steer.
The prices at Walmart, the cashier at Walmart, how I get to Walmart.
Can I taste the difference in the milk they give?
And today i pensa about steers. I knew bull and cow, I didn’t know the castrated male name. Love to expand my knowledge at every opportunity. (And I am heartbroken that 54% of Americans apparently can’t! The whole government has failed them)
Weird, in German Stier is specifically the uncastrated male. Ochse is castrated (Ox). Bulle is uncastrated.
Well, that's the life you chose.
You don’t milk steer.
He'll put up a fuss at first, but once you get going, he'll settle down.
Just watched an old episode of Bob's Burgers where they were making this joke. Somewhere in season 1.
Leather
Don't you mean lather?
Nope ;)
I'm 12 and what is this?
Each child brings more America.
