VR is great for flight sims and... Yeah that's all.

In 2024, 79% of adults in the United States are literate, while 21% are illiterate. This puts the US in 36th place for literacy. Other literacy statistics for the US include:

54% of adults have a literacy level below 6th grade

20% of adults have a literacy level below 5th grade

34% of adults who lack literacy proficiency were born outside the US

More than 70% of inmates in US prisons can't read above a 4th grade level

Children of illiterate parents have a 72% chance of being illiterate as adults

Edit: you all in the replies are dead set on proving these statistics true, aren't you? Bless your hearts.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

You just described the premise of the movie "Idiocracy"

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Not even close.

Stupid people breeding while smart people don't was not a part of HG Wells vision.

Edit:

Also the morlocks would have been the smart ones if we follow this reasoning.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

That was also roughly the amount of support the Nazis had before they took over completely.

It's baked into human nature, apparently.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

That's the third statistic.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

What the fuck are you even talking about? The conversation is about why Americans are so fucking stupid, not entirely illiterate.

The fact that OVER HALF of the adult population reads at BELOW A SIXTH GRADE LEVEL, is kind of the REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT part, actually.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

28% of Americans disagree

The rest? Yeah fucking hopeless.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Where is the lie?

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

How's that working out for you?

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Snowden is a puke fuck scumbag

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Their walled garden bullshit.

Proprietary cables? Get fucked.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

No matter how many times I flip a coin, I don't think the coin will convince me it is sentient.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Yes the fuck I do. Adobe is basically the only software I use other than PC gaming.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

It was one of the most pirated software back in the day, ridiculous pricing because of that barrel.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Oh don't worry, there is plenty of room left to sink.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

To say that the shift in human civilization that occurred around the turn of the 20th century was true at any other time in history is as wrong as wrong can ever be.

EU approval for chat control (www.patrick-breyer.de)

We need to do something against this. The EU plans to apply a law for a chat control in the territory. The approval say that all the chats and the emails would be send to the government to do AI scanning to in fact “find the children abuses”, even when using apps with end-to-end encryption (the EU will ask the services to...

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

You DID read 1984, right?

I would say it's not far behind.

Boeing Will Launch Starliner With Helium Leak (www.extremetech.com)

Boeing and NASA are moving ahead with the upcoming Starliner demonstration launch despite an active helium leak. The launch is now on the books for Saturday, June 1, at 12:25 p.m. EDT. If all goes as planned, Starliner will rendezvous with the International Space Station the following day and return to Earth on June 10. If not,...

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

You have it backwards. It's a pit filled with an unspecified number of cocks.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

I'm fairly certain there were more than 2 pieces

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Christa McAuliffe was chosen to be the first teacher in space.

Once you realize that all sides are wrong, then you are free.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Always has been

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

We haven't even been able to eliminate religious thought patterns, human minds attach to stories not facts. We are a sad alpha version of sentience and I sincerely hope the next version isn't so fundamentally broken.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Fuck you.

Pineapple is a wondrous and resplendent fruit. Sullying it in a melted grease puddle is heresy. Pineapple deserves better than that.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Yeah. We don't do that here

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

BLASPHEMY!

Only Brazilian steakhouses may serve cooked pineapple and it must be grilled! Death to the deep fried non believers!

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Deedle deedle deedle

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Is "better than" the same as totally cool and legal?

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Wow. I didn't say any of that, cool story though.

Go read what I said again and try replying to that instead of whatever this rant is on about

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

The leaf blower is the worst sound ever created and you are literally Satan.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

Remember that "brand X" is the lesser brand that advertising uses when they can't directly name their competitors. Brand X is inherently the cheap crap no name brand.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

What hype exactly? The " destroy all humans" hype or something else I'm unfamiliar with?

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

I deleted Facebook Jan 7 2021.

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

🤡

Cybermonk_Taiji ,

This is so on brand.
