How hard can it actually even be? Nobody taught me how to read an analog clock, I just figured it out myself at age 9 by staring at my parents’ analog clock for exactly 5 minutes, while carefully watching the hands move and counting.
When I realized that the second hand ticked 60 times per revolution, and after it had went around 5 times, and the longer of the two slow hands had advanced from the 12 to the 1, then I simply thought to myself “Well I get it now, that’s not so hard!”
And yes I correctly extrapolated the correlation between the minute hand and the hour hand too.
Yeah they are. Try asking a simple question about geography. OR Remember in the movie Animal House how the Belushi character said that the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. Say that today and most people still in school will readily nod in agreement
No, it’s a meme made for older generations to feel superior to the younger generations. I’ve never met anyone who couldn’t read analog (who wasn’t very early primary school age).
Are people really this stupid now?

Just read comments of some users in this very thread. “Idiocracy” was a documentary after all.
Just the people who believe this nonsense.
