Flost888, in How Israel deals with black Jews
@Flost888@feddit.ch avatar

Info: This article is more than 10 years old.

Because 10 years is such a super long time ago to be forcefully sterilizing people due to their race… noted. Now it must be much much worse in the apartheid shithole of Israel.

teichflamme,

I bet you’ve never been to Israel, because it’s far from both apartheid and a shit hole

Tetsuo,

Obviously, this is awful but it’s one report of one person over 10 years ago.

Also similar things happened in Canada recently:

apnews.com/…/canada-indigenous-women-sterilizatio…

I think there is many things much worse that Israel did so bringing that up is kind of weird.

Weird to bring atrocities up? Get the fuck out . I will bring up all their atrocities. You can’t silence us!

To be fair, I bet there is a town named Iran in the US. There’s a Cuba, Bolivia, Lebanon, and others.

Okay, I just looked it up and no, but you can see where I coming from - lots of places named after foreign countries/cities. It probably is stupidity, but with included confusion.

xusontha,

Yeah, I see what you mean but the majority is still most likely stupidity (though there is probably at least one because of that)

jaybone,

I wonder if it asked them to point out “the country of Iran.”

Of course people also confuse cities and states. Like on the game shows, people will say things like Los Angeles when they mean California, and vice versa.

Why would they be guessing Arkansas?

CavalierBob,

American here. Have you been to Arkansas?

zeppo,
@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

I know it’s a rhetorical question, but briefly. I ate a burrito in Fort Smith, stayed at a crappy motel by Fayetteville one time in the shadow of Jesus billboards, and drove through Little Rock. It was very “natural”.

jaybone,

How are the burritos in Arkansas?

zeppo,
@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

It was a very average burrito in a sit-down Mexican restaurant, one of those places that has a nice building and atmosphere but seems to cater to a midwestern palate. I think it was La Huerta Grill. Probably would have been better any state to the Southwest of there. Looking at the map now, if I was there again, I’d go to a pupusa place… those are always super good.

xusontha,

Because both have an N at the end of the second syllable of their name (I have no idea)

Wishful thinking

lugal,

I can’t decide which is worse: those in the USA or those in the ocean

someguy3,

Could be a small island!

Demonicwolf227,

It would be really funny if they asked latitude and longitude instead of asking them to point on a map. Suddenly the data becomes very impressive.

Kase,

turns out 23% of americans are geography gods

xusontha,

I’m not sure either…

Ilovethebomb,

A large chunk of them, well over half, had the general part of the world right. Honestly better than I expected.

Turun,

Yeah, I’d say ~50% are close enough to be considered basically correct.

Rip Italy though.

jaybone,

It skews pretty far into Europe though, which surprised me.

Ilovethebomb,

It does, yes. A lot of them are centered around the Persian gulf, so there seems to be a strong “it’s around here somewhere” approach.

JSens1998,

More like I-ran away from history class. Am I right guys?

Philipp,

masquenox,

TIL there’s a disturbing amount of USians who think Iran is actually Atlantis.

Ddhuud,

I would like to know the context of this survey. Who in the world gets asked where is a country and points to the middle of the sea

xusontha,

probably doing it because they think it’s funny or something like that

These types of tests are invalid because people are going to troll.

dubyakay,

Well, has Iran been at war with the US at any point in time? No. Checkmate.

  • xusontha,

    I do wonder what the statistics would be for the other countries

    JJROKCZ,

    Western european countries would definitely do better. Every time I see one of those videos of a guy on the street asking people geography the Americans are completely worthless but and random european is almost perfect. Americans can’t even get their states of our own country correct

    PersnickityPenguin,

    Actually 23% is a pretty good stat?

    Do you really think that many people Iranians are mermaids?

    Hmm, I need to be careful next time I make someone watch The Prisoner.

    You are a good parent. My mom introduced me as a child, and it’s still one of our favorite movies, and something we enjoy watching together.

    Not the British, French, or Dutch?

    eltimablo,

    Of course not. America is the only nation on earth capable of perpetrating evil, ghod.

    BudgetBandit, in The old dilemma

    I‘m adulthood but the first image. Can’t bring myself to build a new Michaelsoft Binbows machine when a PS5 costs about 1/3 of the price of a PC with the same power.

    (Minus the screen, plus needed peripherals)

    SeekPie,

    If you buy a used PC , you can get better performance under 500€ and it has more uses (school / work / internet) and games.

    BudgetBandit,

    I have a laptop provided by work; And I don’t see any pc under 1500 performing better than a ps5

    SeekPie,

    RTX 2070 i7 PCs can be found for about 500€

    SeekPie,

    (used of course)

    CohortCzort,

    Or you could run linux. No ms needed.

    I injured my back while this was till a thing.

    I’ve had some great physiotherapists and it’s covered for free under medical (yay Canada) so I’m doing really well.

    I still should work out more.

    pomodoro_longbreak,
    @pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Definitely work out more. It’s just starting for me, and exercise has been a game changer

    Beach for me.

    Trick to soreness is workout regularly. Then you can act like it’s cause the gains instead of getting old.

    workout regularly. Then you can act like it’s cause the gains instead of getting old.

    I know it’s “because” and not a misspelling of “causing,” but I’m delighted by the idea of someone working out and getting ripped, who secretly thinks it’s the act of aging that’s making him strong, and that working out is just a placebo

    corsicanguppy,

    and not a misspelling of “causing,”

    You skipped right over the “workout” noun used as the verb combo “work out”. It’s jarring.

    MooseBoys, in dark tower deck supremacy

    Joke’s on you - my back hurts all the time!

    sheogorath,

    Get a rowing machine my fellow life form.

    corsicanguppy,

    Those things kill my back
