TIL the military cannot enlist a recruit with an IQ measured lower than 80 and is required to keep enlisted individuals with an IQ of 81-92 to less than 20% of the armed forces in active duty.

  • Sure... But it's a DIFFERENT TEST, on a different population of people, with the goal of measuring military-specific factors.

  • This is a myth. There IS a test, called the "Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)", which is a competency test to see what jobs you would be suited for, but that is NOT an IQ test.

    Sure, if you score badly on that test you will LIKELY have a low score on an IQ test, probably because something like 40% of American adults are illiterate or have low-literacy and that would impact your ability to do any test.

    But the military does not IQ test.

  • My first thought was this was a punk thing, like, if you want to think of yourself as a bit rebellious you can buy the American phone instead of the phone made by the company that owns your nation.

  • The thing about Lemmy is that "all" means "everything that anyone on your home server has requested we federate to", so the "all" that someone hosted on Lemmy.nsfw sees will be a different "all" than someone on beehaw will see, because individual servers are free to choose not to make connections to other instances if they don't want to.

  • The people seeing furry porn are based in Lemmy.world or Lemmy.nsfw

    Your instance, lemmy.ee, doesn't subscribe you to porn by default.

  • Depends on your Instance looks like the defaults on lemmy.zip don't include much porn, so if you want it you gotta add it. My home instance is also pretty SFW as well.

  • I absolutely adore my Subaru CVT. The only things I dislike about it are how it has a bunch of fake crap to act more like a manual transmission.

    I want my car to always be at peak power band when I stomp the pedal, CVT can do that and other transmissions can't.

    • Is it okay to own a car in a rural area?

  • FuckCars is not about BEING carfree, it's about realizing that you're FORCED to have a car, to pay $10,000 per year to own that car, to breathe in the pollution from the roads, to risk your life on the road, and how bad that sucks.
