I found this on the FB Herman Cain Awardz site. Just to be kind (Covid took him out) I removed his last name. He had several posts about this 'killer pollo'.

(4,311 posts)That word "pollo" is the Spanish word for what we call a "chicken" in English.

(86,843 posts)I wasn't sure, at first, what he was going on about at first. Then, as I read on, I realized he's at third grade level (what he remembers that is) writing/spelling and not rational.
Oh well, it got him anyway.

These geniuses sound very sure of themselves. Have a friend who is one of them, he declared confidently that he can never get Covid again because he had it once, and that's not how viruses work, once you get it you have lifelong natural immunity. I asked him if he's ever had the flu virus more than once in his life. He said strains are different than variants, which technically is true, but it is still the same virus you can get over and over. And what about all of those people who've had Covid twice? False positives was his response. Just too stupid.

Therefore, Delta and Omicron are now considered strains, just like flu.

I'd say this has to be some AI generated nonsense but I feel AI generated stories would make more sense.

(2,343 posts)that stated nearly half of US citizens read at a 6th grade level. I didn't believe that was at all possible.
After reading that mash up of shit, I'm convinced.

(33,222 posts)Something like the average IQ in the US is 100. Meaning of course, half of the population is below that level.
Is it any wonder I can't ever seem to strike up small talk anymore?
The saddest part is I firmly believe that IQs are not completely a fixed value. They can be optimized with effort, if one is so inclined. I'm living proof of that!

(6,645 posts)member who would look at first and last letter of a word and guess. It was because they were taught with flash cards not sounding out the word. Doubt if these people were taught to sound out and learn the definition of a word. I moved to another state right before my senior year and the spelling test in english class was: their, there, they're, too, to, two etc. IN SENIOR YEAR! should have been learned in 3rd grade tops.
