    What makes people who didn’t learn to read analog clocks idiots? If you have a thing about analog clocks, just keep it to yourself.

    it may be because you fit the category

    Or maybe because it’s just stupid af to judge people’s intelligence based on an unrelated life skill.

      Wrong question. The correct would be: what make people who are too lazy or too stupid to learn the clock idiots - but that would be a rhetorical one.

      it’s just stupid af to judge people’s intelligence based on an unrelated life skill.

      Intelligence is an ability to obtain knowledge and skills. If someone lacks both, it is a strong indication of them not having enough intelligence to obtain them.

        who are too lazy or too stupid

        They do know how to read the clock (digital ones :) ) Again, it doesn’t make them idiots or lazy for not learning something they don’t really need to learn

        Intelligence is an ability to obtain knowledge and skills. If someone lacks both, it is a strong indication of them not having enough intelligence to obtain them.

        What makes you think they don’t have the ability to learn how to read analog clocks just because they don’t? You might not know how ride a horse, but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn how to. Are you an idiot for not learning how to?

          They do know how to read the clock

          They also know how to use calculator, they just don’t knot 2 times 2 is four without it. Neither have place during an exam.

          What makes you think they don’t have the ability to learn how to read analog clocks

          Because if they did, they would have done during lessons to learn it, sweetie 🙄

            Thanks for calling me a sweetie. Love u too. Forgetting is a thing. Unlike previous generations they are not as much exposed to analog ones. Therefore they don’t need to. Digital clocks are used in electronic devices etc.

            They also know how to use calculator, they just don’t knot 2 times 2 is four without it. Neither have place during an exam

            Except basic math is necessary since the brain is faster with smaller calculations and analog clock really isn’t that much necessary anymore. They can be replaced.
