  What makes people who didn’t learn to read analog clocks idiots? If you have a thing about analog clocks, just keep it to yourself.

  it may be because you fit the category

  Or maybe because it’s just stupid af to judge people’s intelligence based on an unrelated life skill.

    What makes people who didn’t learn to read analog clocks idiots?

    Wrong question. The correct would be: what make people who are too lazy or too stupid to learn the clock idiots - but that would be a rhetorical one.

    it’s just stupid af to judge people’s intelligence based on an unrelated life skill.

    Intelligence is an ability to obtain knowledge and skills. If someone lacks both, it is a strong indication of them not having enough intelligence to obtain them.

      who are too lazy or too stupid

      They do know how to read the clock (digital ones :) ) Again, it doesn’t make them idiots or lazy for not learning something they don’t really need to learn

      Intelligence is an ability to obtain knowledge and skills. If someone lacks both, it is a strong indication of them not having enough intelligence to obtain them.

      What makes you think they don’t have the ability to learn how to read analog clocks just because they don’t? You might not know how ride a horse, but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn how to. Are you an idiot for not learning how to?

        They do know how to read the clock

        They also know how to use calculator, they just don’t knot 2 times 2 is four without it. Neither have place during an exam.

        What makes you think they don’t have the ability to learn how to read analog clocks

        Because if they did, they would have done during lessons to learn it, sweetie 🙄

  You don’t know how to use an abacus? You must be an idiot.

    No. Don’t know how to use the clock? You shouldn’t be in the exam room.

      Except, they do know how to use a clock. Just not your favorite clock

        Nope. They don’t know how to use the clock. The one widely used.

  Yikes.

  Also, since you ran out of arguments and started correcting people’s spelling, *then.

    “yikes” what?

    Passing exams is not an entitlement, it is an achievement. If someone is an idiot unable to understand the clock, they shouldn’t be in the exam room in the first place - and they certainly shouldn’t expect someone will start explaining clock to them when they are supposed to write an exam.

      Why are you so adamant that reading an analog clock is required to pass an exam that doesn’t feature any material related to reading analog clocks?

      • FelixCress@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Why are you so adamant that reading is required at all? You could just watch ticktock instead after all.
