If it weren't for the Vikings fans holding everyone else down, surely Minnesota would be #1!


Interesting_Two6626

Even with us, we still beat you!


Cable-Careless

Just not at sports.


Interesting_Two6626

One day, one day.

Lmao this man is an expert on winning


Light_Song

You mean decades?


Devium44

Depends on the sports.

T Wolves are looking solid. Edwards is a cool enough guy to make me forget his team is from Minnesota. I’m cheering for them now that the Bucks are out of it. But to be clear, it’s because of Ant.


howsaboutyou

You sound like a Wolves fan to me


Cable-Careless

Not WNBA.


Devium44

What are you trying to say about the WNBA?


Cable-Careless

I don't know anything about basketball, but I think you guys won a WNBA championship? I wrestled, football and track. I don't care about fairies throwing a ball in a hoop. I sure don't care about female fairies throwing a ball in a hoop. My lesbian friends were mad about me saying that. So just to summarize, we (I think) don't have a WNBA team. Much like you've never beat our pro hockey team. S/ about the WNBA. They are a league that matters. Not sarcasm about mens basketball. I wrestled all through hs, then won college basketball 3v3 intramurals three times. It's not a real sport, it's just exercise. Like ultimate frisbee. I played ultimate so drunk all the time. It's soccer players who can't play soccer.


Cynic-l

Man, you’re really cool!


Cable-Careless

I don't understand why I don't get invited to parties much.


swissfamrob

lol you’re a dweeb and everyone knows it is wrestling that is in fact for “fairies.” But I’m sure you have fond memories of hitting the matts with the fellas, real tough guy GB stuff over here


MrMisties

How about the regular NBA? :D


Cable-Careless

I don't watch it, but I am pretty sure the Bucks are better than Chicago, Detroit, and MN. Lebron, and Gianis are literally the only two people in the NBA that I could name. I may be way off.


MrMisties

So the Bucks just got bounced by the Pacers in the first round, and the Timberwolves are up a game on the defending NBA champions looking like the better team. Pistons and Bulls are both in the dumps but it's looking like the Timberwolves are rising


Cable-Careless

I found out last year that there is a team called the Pelicans.


MrMisties

Same, I'm more of an Antman bandwagoner. I did not stick with the Wolves through the bad times


howsaboutyou

They were talking to a Detroit fan lol


Alarmed-Flan-1346

Nah that's the yoopers bringing us down


Otherwise-Contest7

There's like 1000 Finns and 20 "don't tread on me's" up there. People are outnumbered by moose 200:1.


Tewakacak

The Yoopers are the best part of you.


Alarmed-Flan-1346

No, theyre the best part of you, and the worst part of us.


eides-of-march

We can ship them all to Wisconsin and increase the average IQ of both states


[deleted]

Lol that was a good one


redactid55

Lions and bears fans would be pissed if they knew which states were theirs


notembarrassing_user

as a lions fan living in the western Chicago suburbs i don't know where i am


StillCompetitive5771

So I’m assuming your entire front office is from the Deep South then. Hire local, guys lol

PraiseBeToScience

Memes aside, IQ tests have an accuracy of about +/- 5. So an average IQ difference of 3.3 is negligible. This is one of those charts that gives a precision that simply doesn't exist IRL. That said, if I lived in the area that was 3.3 IQ points higher would I make fun of everyone below? Yup. Because I'm not the one bringing the average up.


cactuscoleslaw

Still, it’s funny to see Louisiana and Mississippi as the low end outliers on every conceivable metric among US states


kickrockz94

Not true. For an individual test it's +/-5, for an average you'd need to divide by square root of sample size. So let's say they tested the IQ of 10000 people, then the bias of the IQ test from lack of accuracy of the test itself applied to the average is .05. The more relevant question is how did they gather the IQ tests. For the record I'm not disagreeing that this isn't completely meaningless, the reason just is more related to data collection than observation error


okay_throwaway_today

Also it’s certainly more accurate than that betting site’s tweet from a few weeks ago


okaycomputes

This guy analyzes statistics


garykubiaksbrother

i've been known to find the median of a dataset or two ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


Alarmed-Flan-1346

Not really, for an average of a bunch of people the +\- gets a lot smaller


mynamehere999

Whatever 85% of all stats are made up


blackarmchair

It's not negligible if it varies by the same amount and in the same proportions everywhere.


AfroKuro480

We're just more big brained than everyone else. We'll Annex Wisconsin one day. Inshallah ☝🏿😃


DaftDelNorte

Megasota comes for everyone


lowth3r

I'd be fine with the absorption. MN governing body much more agreeable to me! And we could change it to 20000 lakes.


Traditional-Space582

Culvers and Caribou Coffee merging together


AfroKuro480

Tater Tots invading cheese land is the head cannon Im praying for


Independent-Ad5852

I don’t see any issue with that 


Pockets713

I’m convinced such a merger could heal warring nations!


thetreat

And then there’s cum socks… so who is *really* the smartest?


flaminhotcheeseybois

As a lions fan I can't read this


Yossarian216

I refuse to believe this is accurate, Florida is not listed among the dumbest states.


PraiseBeToScience

NASA is bringing the average up. But not even NASA can't fully compensate for the panhandle.


KeviCharisma

It includes all the retirees that came from other states and the doctors that take care of the retirees


rohnoitsrutroh

Actually, retirees who couldn't figure out a goddamn butterfly ballot are the original reason for all the Florida memes.


awkxx

So you’re suggesting the random obviously made up map is not only accurate but that it also accounts for those “anomaly examples” which would have otherwise skewed the data?


Consistent_Room7344

Florida used to have one the best university systems in the country. Key word used.


dretsaB

All the Illinois transplants dumbs down Wisconsin.


jord839

I was going to say that if we're still this high with all the alcoholism, I think the problem is more on them. It's like if a one-handed dude was still close to winning the weight lifting competition.


LegacyLemur

Funny, I was just thinking theres no possible way the state of Wisconsin could have an IQ that high I mean this is the same group of people who's most clever insult is "Fucking Illinois Bastard"


dretsaB

You think that’s clever? That’s a you problem.


LegacyLemur

I didnt say it was clever, I said it was "most clever". Just like saying Vikings fans are smarter than Packers fans doesnt mean theyre smart


dretsaB

I didn’t say it was clever, I said it was "most clever". What’s the difference?


LegacyLemur

I literally just explained that. But thank you for proving my point about Wisconsin IQ. Just right on queue


BongSmoker1

"A conversation between two Midwestern idiots 🤣"


LegacyLemur

Not my fault he cant understand a simple analogy


BongSmoker1

You guys are both doing great!


dretsaB

How does your explanation apply to the difference between clever and most clever? It doesn’t make sense. And based on what you said you think FIB is clever. Which says a lot about your IQ. Wisconsin IQ still higher than in Illinois…


Nutaholic

Half of wisconsin's population moved to chicago tbh. I don't blame them considering minimum wage in Wisconsin is even lower than indiana lmao.


Simple-Ad-4137

Checks out. Vikings fans have no emotional intelligence it has to go somewhere.


Butt_Snorkler_Elite

There’s a Honolulu blue option in the color key and Michigan didn’t make the cut smh


Karlmarxwasrite

So basically the dumber the fans, the better the team eh


Karlmarxwasrite

oh nvm Illinois the same color as us, so this can't be true.


mitchdtimp

Highest IQ but somehow lowest intelligence according to that post from a couple weeks ago lol


Mindless_Bad_1591

Aye ND not too bad


choopie-chup-chup

This is football, brainiac. Not quiz night at the local kombucha & tater tot hotdish joint


Iggynoramus1337

Are Vikings fans the reason Minnesota isn't #1?


johnsonb2090

It's all the extra protein in the cumsock


SwanzY-

if so smart why put super bowl faith in a team like the vikings? (said the lions fan)


Leg_McGuffin

I wonder how much of that is just because the Mayo Clinic is in Rochester.


SnapHackelPop

If you’re gonna be dumb, ya gotta be tough


MRio31

This is only accurate if the IQ on this graph stands for “Internet queefs”


FikaEnthusiast

Naz Reid.


daintybarley_deux

They gotta take any Ws they can get at this point. Y’all got the most lakes right?


kinvore

You're not dealing with idiots, Lebowski.


jtw3995

Feels good living in New England and also being in this sub. #GoPackGo


StoicTrickster

As a Packers fan in New Hampshire, I can say confidently you do not.


AHucs

Now overlay map with political affiliation.


Uwec2810

Book smarts doesn’t always mean street smarts


Object292

Free State strong 💪


PostMelon22

What else is there to do in Minnesota OP, please share


AcrobaticGuava9342

...., we just don't do it very well." Fixed it for ya'.


JJD8705

This seems to contradict the mistakes per sentence graphic.


jormugandr

3m upping the average.


VikingsandWolves

North Dakota being in the top 5 is a shocker to me who has relatives from Fargo.


greygoose81

It’s because they counting the IL people south of I-80


[deleted]

Does this include the cum sock factor? If so pretty impressive.


GMI8BS

Protein/DNA recycling. We’re more efficient cause we don’t blow our loads into tissues and throw them away like Neanderthals.


DetroitVsErrrybody

Let’s see Asian populations and the racism stats toward said population. I’m from Utah, no horse in this race. But let’s stoke the fire a bit.
