Concerning that it wasn't 100.

Next up: Trump declares Greenland a terrorist organization

Nah, like 20% of people everywhere are just dumb as rocks - in the US it looks like it's grown to be at least 35%... but there's no place on earth free of idiots.

Oh also, there's some small percentage of people that are just edgelords.... whether you count these people as idiots is probably determined by how recently you were a teenager (yes, we were all dumb once)

I can't think of a single thing that 100% of people from any decently sized group will agree on. Some will just pick the opposite to be contrarian. Some just don't care.

It seems to be a pretty consistent rule around the world that about 1/3 of people are complete morons. Only 15% being for it is probably a good sign.

[labbbb2@thelemmy.club]

I think they would just ignore Trump. It's bad for your health to answer to such people like him. He's a narcissist.

[facedeer@fedia.io]

Just "clean Geenland out", I guess.

[bassman1805@lemmy.world]

The Lizardman Constant is about 4%. So that leaves 11% unaccounted for.

[solsangraal@lemmy.zip]

fuck, i'm IN the u.s. and i'm against joining the u.s.

[whatamlemmy@lemmy.world]

There's always going to be 1/3 who are dumber than the other 2/3's

[darkassassin07@lemmy.ca]

I'm not sure I'd trust the results at all if they said 100% of people polled voted the same way...

[silence7@slrpnk.net]

Yeah, you get some silly answers from a small percent of the population, like this one:

Seven percent of all American adults believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows, according to a nationally representative online survey commissioned by the Innovation Center of U.S. Dairy.

[kikutwo@lemmy.world]

WTF is wrong with the other 15%

[majorllama@lemmy.world]

I am choosing to believe that 7% of American adults think it's funny to answer questions like that. Even though I know it's wrong. God dammit.

Our education system is just cooked huh.

[majorllama@lemmy.world]

Thank you for that lol. Now I have a term for those types of answers.

[notsoshaihulud@lemmy.world]

TIL, Thanks!

In commercial/political polling, they call it the lizard man constant. 5% will always agree, even if the question is something like "are you a lizard man".

Only 15% is a resounding rejection, honestly. The media was making it sound like there was actual mainstream debate within Greenland.

[canadaplus@lemmy.sdf.org]

According to the reporting, after dealing with Danish colonisation some Greenlanders see the US as (still) less imperialist than Denmark. The grass is always greener on the other side, basically.

Good to know that the vast majority understand that's BS.

[embargo@lemm.ee]

Pity that the stat is higher than 50% in the US.
