    Nothing says your smart like claiming to be smarter. Lol

    I just picked your first lame post, and I didn’t have to look far 🤡

      Never said I’m smart, just that I’m more clever than you are. I’m also faster than a garden snail and better at high jump than an elephant, doesn’t mean I’m training for the Olympics.

      Also, if you had been paying attention, you’d have noticed that it was posted in the Dad Jokes community for intentionally lame jokes and as such not a measure of me trying to be clever 🙄

              Dunno, haven’t measured it since I found out a couple decades ago that it’s not so much a useful tool for assessing intelligence as something invented by and for insecure people with very specialised knowledge to use as a combination status symbol and weapon 🤷

                So what was it when you did lol?

                I got tested as a child, so no idea, but I’d guess the teachers were insecure and used specialised knowledge as a status symbol and weapon, LOL

                Why are you continuing to insult me by saying I’m stupider than you? Sounds pretty weak and insecure to me!

                  In many cases, yeah. I’m generally very pro-teacher, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any bad teachers out there stubbornly clinging to debunked systems 🤷

                  Why are you continuing to insult me by saying I’m stupider than you?

                  Because you keep asking for clarification as if I wasn’t being crystal clear the first time. I’m just having fun humouring you while also mocking you 🤷

                  Sounds pretty weak and insecure to me!

                  Your constant hounding me about whatever I could possibly mean by calling you neither smart nor clever? Yep, sure does.

                    Mate, your first comment to me was an insult.

                    So I’ll end it with the same.
