It's shocking just how many people who, when presented with this and asked to identify which was male and which was female, insisted the female one was the one with an extra rib 🙄

Would you look at that? I did a #bash quiz on @w3schools.bsky.social and got 23 out of 25... granted a few of the questions were guesswork on my part and some more were just ones I knew did something although I know precious little about them but hey ho, not bad for a #windows user!

From @newsthump.com:
I'm not even anti #jeremycorbyn, just smart enough to realise that he'll never gain power in the UK (mainly because of our poison media) and will only achieve what #farage did with the #conservatives. Mind you, it does improve the case for #proportionalrepresentation.

Well F***!
I invested £250 in #starcitizen (@robertsspaceind.bsky.social) in 2012. I'm 68 now & bored with multi-player so I sold my interest to a friend for £70 late last year. Might still get the chance to play the standalone, #squadron42 though...
...AND ABOUT BLOODY TIME TOO RSI!

Maybe but those who say so have lost track of one thing; stupid or not, such people have the vote and the power to affect nations. Fascists/right-wingers have realised how to tap that gullibility... as it currently stands, democracy no longer works.
