Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

bullshit there is no way people believe that 34% of the population is lefthanded.

The actual problem is that if you show this data to the respondents, they wouldn't change their answers.

Everyone here talking about the minority groups when I think the real story is people thinking 1/5 Americans are making $1M/yr.

What are these people smoking? I need some.

30% bisexuals. Not even I would have guessed that high.

I would have said 5% and am happy im kinda close

This is one of those things where context being broken down affects a lot. If you ask only GenZ, they respond more like 15% bi, and millennials is somewhere in the ballpark of 5%. I'd be willing to bet the responses used to make the OP are similarly skewed by demographic for the obvious reasons.

The US has transformed disinformation into an art form at this point.
