Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.
They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.
Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.
Most recently the complete lack of understanding of a wet bulb temperature comes to mind. In ar5icles discussing this, people completely left out the “wet bulb” part, which they didn’t understand, and went on to post comments about “65 DEGREES IS NOTHING, I5 REGULARLY GETS OVER 90 WHERE I LIVE!!!”. The audacity of some folks. It took me 5 seconds to Google wet bulb temperature to not look like a dumbest saying something like that with my whole chest lol
Props to you for grasping the concept of wet bulb temperature and getting why it’s always lower or equal to the dry bulb temperature. It’s not exactly obvious why that’s the case.
Thanks! It’s just wild to me that people don’t have the curiosity to at least search up something they don’t understand first. Also lol at me not seeing my whole mess of cellphone typos before posting, haha
Things they don’t understand are simply invisible to them. The words disappear before their eyes and from our mouths.
