Stupidity is a cancer in our society. It deserves ridicule and scorn, not niceties. Note, this is different from ignorance. There is nothing to be ignorant about here, just piss poor reading comprehension and disregard of context clues. Shameful.
No, because there are error bars on “things”, and “everyone”, and “knows”, and on “by the time they are 30”.
This means that statistically, following a Bell curve on where people land based on this, there will be some that will be much older, and much younger that have heard of a specific thing to the point of “knowing” it.
Yea, hate him or not, he immediately researched his incorrectness. This is not something we should make fun of. Education is how we solve ignorance, even if the topic is nuts.
Nah I’ve watched him ask for a claim to be checked, his checker came back saying that it was a true claim when it was total bullshit.
Dude gets zero credit for half assed - at best - fact checking. Peanuts are not dire, but the dumbass wants to get into life or death real world shit without doing the work. Fuck Rogan.
I live in SW Ontario which used to be prime tobacco territory as in teenagers used to work tobacco fields in the 90’s when I was in HS. Both peanuts and tobacco love a loose sandy soil.
Point being, no one is expected to know how something grows unless they have some knowledge that makes them intimate or they’re a fucking nerd. Lol
Honestly I think the only reason I kinda realized was because we distinguish peanuts from tree nuts - nuts that do grow on trees. The implication thus that peanuts grow at least not in trees.
Okay, this may paint me in a bad light, but I was fucking 40 before I learned peanuts grew underground. I ain’t Joe Rogan stupid, but dang.
I think that’s why dudes are magnetized to Joe. Interesting trivia that at no point does the average person need to think about are brought up and it’s fascinating.
Unfortunately, Joe also mixes in conspiracy BS. His extreme lack of critical thinking (or thinking with cherry picked data to fit a particular narrative), is why his fans are constantly belittled by people looking in.
No one’s criticizing Rogan for not knowing everything. The punchline is how he reacts to new knowledge and how he builds a false narrative to explain it

Nobody around here grew them (that I know of), and I never went anywhere that grew them where I would see them.
I assumed they were like any legume, growing above ground like peas or green beans.
But noooooo, they’re ground nuts. Which I thought was a different plant entirely.
Out of all my damn family on both sides, visiting (and working on) various farms, nobody grew the damn things.
So, yeah.
I’m all for introducing the saying “I’m not Joe Rogan stupid, but…” into the wider world.
In plenty of languages peanuts are also called ‘ground nuts’ or ‘earth nuts’
Ouch, I had to think about what it’s in my motherlanguage and it’s actually earth nuts (Erdnüsse in German).
If you had asked me how they grow it would have been a 50/50 if I got it wrong.
The english Wikipedia article mentions that it’s sometimes called groundnut in english too.

I’ll never not upvote xkcd
Does this mean it’s valid to make fun of those who don’t know obvious things if they’re 30 or older?

It’s literally an observation of the content of the comic. Fuck me, you people are stupid.
He said, still not being nice. Nah man, I think it’s you.

If it helps, and you probably aren’t aware, but we are ridiculing you.
But it doesn’t seem to be fixing anything.
I don’t particularly care about the opinion of idiots, so it’s fine.

Spitting out yr gum in astonishment five times a day is not rational.
But ya, wtf.
