They're a genius with a capital J.

[–] Xepher@lemm.ee 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I think this one was plenty hard enough for some.

This was my college panic trigger. If I went to an exam or made an assignment that felt way too simple or way too easy I would immediately start to panic that I'm not a genius. I'm probably just too dumb to realize that my understanding of the task is wrong, that there was a trick, twist or hidden element I wasn't taking into account.

Answer: 67. Response: She’s dead.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Her body is still 67. What's left of it, anyway.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

By a similar argument her body is about 13 billion.

Reminds me of Friends when Joey was telling Phoebe's brother about marrying an older women (Eric Foreman's mom).

Okay wait I can just find the clip, https://youtu.be/hdYKyzVNhZE?si=wl5H2VAlv1fWQerv here it is. I'm not gonna lie, I didn't get the joke on first watch. It took me longer than I'd like to admit.

This ones pretty old by now.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 19 points 9 months ago

Right? She's at least 37 by now.

[–] jettrscga@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago

Needs more pixelation so it can officially be crunchy!
