Post Whatever You Want (and Stop Posting Crap on Other Threads)

I am still amazed at how idiotic the Youtube Comments are. The fact that people flame mercilessly and unnecessarily is quiet intriguing and, quiet frankly, scary.

I know, right? I often have a laugh reading them, but this laugh is a sorrowful one, from reailising how true the "95% of people in any sphere of life are idiots" rule is.

You need to keep in mind that the world's average IQ is 83.
Basically the average human is quite close to being a ******.

The normal "smart" folks you might know will have around 100-120 IQ.

Geniuses tend to possess IQ greater than 140.
This bracket is the upper 0.01 percentile.

I was always told that the average IQ is around 100.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_classification

And that some tests were even designed so the average is 100.

Where did you get your numbers from?

i have to find this article for you but it fascinating. it talks about the effects anonymity has on people. it did all these studies where humans ranging from 3 years old to 90 were given this one test.

they were put in a dark room room with a one way mirror and someone sat chained in a lighted room at a table with a device strapped to one arm and a box on the table.

in front of the person in the dark room were two buttons. one had "pain" written on it the other "pleasure". the pain button ministered an increasing electric shock starting low but the more the button is pressed the more it hurts. the pleasure button released a small block of chocolate from the box on the table.

60 something percent of people between the ages of 12 - 84 clicked the pleasure button first but over the course of a 30 minute period the PAIN button was pressed a ***ping 260% more then the pleasure button.

in children between the ages of 6-12 the pain button was pressed first like close to 100% of the time. and more often and the time between presses was shorter. BUT they also always pressed the pleasure button multiple times though they did press the pain button 3 times more than the pleasure.

the worst statistic from the study was that the pain button was pressed on average 20-30 times every 10 minutes in comparison to the 3-5 times for pleasure button. this was all ages.

the only 2 groups that didnt press the pain button more then the pleasure button were people over the age of 84 and 16 year old females.


what you take from the study is up to you but i find it fascinating :D

The age window is strange, I cant make up anything out of it. I assume people do thise things just for fun, considering the shock was harmless and all in good fun. But... What do you mean "chained"? Any links that I can check out? I might find it interesting.

However, that doesnt help the fact that Youtube comments are full of idiotic flaming while I find reddit to be generally nice.
