I’m totally ranting but the fact that this man thinks his EYES are more accurate than a computer program is absolutely mind boggling. I sent him the directions for how to use the measuring program. Will he use it? Absolutely not. He will go on confidently assuming his eyes are better at measuring than a fricking computer.

Ask a woman how tall she thinks an average doorframe is. You will get answers that will blow your mind. It's even more mindblowing than the experiment of asking women to name a year associated with each major American War.

When I worked at Lowes I had a foid tell me she measured her door and it was 7 inches tall and even showed me on the paper where she wrote down the measurement. Most doors are around 79"-80" tall so I guessed that she ignored the 6 feet and just paid attention to the 7 inches. The width was also fricked up and then she asked how difficult it is to install a door and if I thought she could do it on her own.

Just found this video of a podcast who asked their listeners to do this experiment and send in their results. Another common mistake I forgot about is conflating Columbus with the revolutionary war, so they’ll just casually name a year that’s 300 years off.

I don’t know who first did it, but it goes like this.
Without hints, ask a woman to name a year associated with the revolutionary war. Then ask her to name a year associated with the civil war, then WWI, WWII, and Vietnam. Yeah, there were a lot of other wars, but if you can’t come close to naming a year associated with each of these wars, you’d be pretty dumb, right?
Turns out almost every single woman is not even fricking close. They’ll give a year in the 1800’s for the revolutionary war, when any 1st grader knows about 1776. Sometimes they switch the order of the civil war and revolutionary war, and most of the time, they say that the world wars happened in the 1800’s.
I’ve done this about a dozen times, and even very smart women will be over 20 or 30 years off, thinking Vietnam happened in the 90’s, or thinking WWII happened in the 20’s. Those guesses are honestly close when you compare it other women.
I’ve also noticed that the guesses become even more insane when you list the wars out of order to them.
