      It is, and the only facepalm is the fact it’s posted here

        I’m pretty sure it’s a bot…

        There’s a lot of posts here where they’re completely missing a joke and saying it’s a facepalm.

        It probably just pulls whatever is posted to reddit (likely by a bot too) and posts it here. I struggle to believe a real life human would think this is a mistake and not a funny headline for engagement.

    OP musst be one of the 2/3 and clearly not of the 1/4.

    Makes sense, there’s overlap between what they can do, and what they struggle with…

    So there’s 2/3rds they just can’t do… All of which they struggle with… But there’s some stuff they CAN DO, and they struggle with… And then there’s 1/4 they can do without struggle.

      The problem is “the other” in the headline which makes it clear that your guess is not the case.

    I wonder if it was tongue-in-cheek? Like they did it deliberately?

    I made a similar joke in a post recently. I was using the number 33⅓, which I’d temporarily forgotten the significance of (it’s the RPMs for a standard LP vinyl record to play) so I made it 33¾ and hope that the incongruance itches someone’s brain when they read it.
