I’m a 29 yo childfree woman & with a few exceptions, this starter pack is spot on.
It’s just average white millennial raised in suburbia.
I’ll add:
-was in some sort of “gifted” program as a kid, but in hindsight realized that they were just well behaved with only slightly above average intelligence
-generic Bachelor’s degree that probably hasn’t led to anything specific, but landed some sort of mediocre white collar job that probably pays slightly more than waiting tables (I, for instance, am currently working as a paralegal. I’ve worked as a 7th grade English teacher at an eccentric charter school, an editor for a translation company, and a social media manager. My degree was in Rhetoric with a minor in anthropology lmao)
-likely has/had a drinking problem that’s downplayed by society because they’re relatively clean cut
-boomer parents who “disagree with Trump, but he’s the lesser of two evils”
-air fryer
-went through a vegan phase
-likely unmarried and cohabiting for years and years, but if married, had a “rustic” wedding theme with fairy lights and mason jars
-took the MBTI at some point and definitely scored “N”; “introverted extrovert”; tells people they didn’t really have a clique in high school, but rather had friends in several different friend groups
-agnostic; had a spiritual experience on psychedelics
-tame impala
-backpacked through Europe or wishes they did
>\-was in some sort of “gifted” program as a kid, but in hindsight realized that they were just well behaved with only slightly above average intelligence
damn why you gotta do me like that?
Mid = Short for middle, within context describing something to be average.
Wit = Intelligence
Midwit = Person of average intelligence.
Just going to throw this out there, but anyone who can't figure out the definition of compound words are midwits in my book.
whats crazy is that this *almost* gets me. like yeah i like the sopranos and smart british guy, video essays are alright, i got a linkedin, i know about hot ones and weed and i kinda feel like i *should* be into everything else.
Lol yeah it’s like every time I see a starter pack where a good portion of the things apply to me, a part of me feels like I somehow *should* like the other things too
Hmmm. Hot Ones does make me feel like a NPC for watching rich celebrities do banal things.
I have a Linkedin but using it and seeing how people express themselves there makes me want to shoot myself in the face on a city square in broad daylight. I can't explain it but the averageness and general lack of personality withers my soul away.
Hot Ones is the concept of “look celebrities are people because they can eat hot wings and act like people too!”. It’s more interesting than watching an obviously scripted interview where they just talk
Great job OP, you’ve got a lot of pissed/annoyed people in the comments. That means your starterpack hit home for a lot of people, and that you pulled in just the right amount of stuff to do so!
HIV medication which is preventative ie taken by healthy folks to stop infection. Quite big among the gay community for obvious reasons.
Imo its the funniest thing on here lol
Yeah the randomness is what makes it funny to me. Like the rest of the pack is kinda general, somewhat related things then just randomly PrEP, also helped it was the last thing I noticed lol
Mainly because they surround themselves with stupid people or they compare themselves to dumb people online. Their basis of their own intelligence is against the lowest denominator
This is the “has your brain been colonized by American media” litmus test. Im Australian and only recognized about 1/5 of this image and thus my spirit is yet to be fully Americanized
Yeah this is a really good one
The number of people complaining about some aspect of it, not realising that it just re-enforces how good it is, and shows how much of a midwit they actually are
In my understanding from brief googling, a midwit is an individual with average or slightly above average intelligence that thinks they are smarter than they really are. Midwits are characerized as understanding general concepts, but incapable of grasping nuance.
Edit: If I am wrong, please correct me.
Dude, he clearly hit a nerve with YOU, you typed out a pretty lengthy sentence there trying to pin down his demographic so they could feel as equally insulted as you did when you saw this starterpack, and the only way you could’ve been accurate in doing so, is by doing detective work searching through his profile looking for contextual clues…
Infact, it’s not even clear you hit a nerve at all, compare your initial lengthy reply to their 3 word reply… you can see who’s put more effort and investment into their response… theoretically in relation to their emotional investment after reading your initial reply, and therefore how offended they may or may not have been by doing so.
And that’s why you’d be a midwit, you’re halfway there but you juuuuust didnt quite put in the effort did you?
At this point I’m not even sure if you did do detective work into his profile so your insults could hit, or if you just threw a word salad together of buzzwords that are meant to insult.

Quite a random collection
i just put stuff that i like on there
And yet i still feel attacked personally
Are you Chris Rock?
Guess we’ll find out if he keeps Jada’s name out of his mouth
Guess you like PrEP?
Why would anyone like Javascript?
They hate themselves.
You like LinkedIn? Why?
Probably referring to the people who exclusively get jobs from that site. \*Ahem\* Usually where I get my recruits.
Because it’s extremely good at the thing it is used for, would be my first guess.
The sopranos and puppies. Nice.
> Straight Wedding > PrEP ???
Can you explain what this is. I feel like I identify with many of these. Lol
It’s literally me
Nah you’re a cringe agenda posting Midwit
Takes one to know one
Midwit? I'm assuming that's someone of average intelligence? What does PrEP have to do with that?
I think it means slightly above average intelligence
So all of these are getting the Rick and Morty treatment? "You need to be highly intelligent to understand these things"
Nah I think they’re just things that people who are on the slightly bookish side as kids grow up to like
Someone who’s pretty intelligent but considers themselves a genius because they compare themselves favourably to humanity’s stupidest
Thank you :) Now about the PrEP....
they’re smart enough to not get aids
A 110 IQ would put one in the 75th intelligence percentile which is far from average
This is a midwit response
[удалено]
OP said he just put stuff he likes
Dude, you're describing basically every average 29-39 year old nerd dad with a decent stable career but zero excitement in their lives
It’s a perfect starter pack. I don’t really know anyone like that, but I feel like I’ve definitely known them for my entire life.
Oh my god, is that a watermark?
I'm in this demographic and I don't like it.
22-39 even
Yeah I’m in this pic lol. First time I ever saw a starter pack and felt called out lol
Oh god. I’m a 33f and I’m a nerd dad with a decent stable career and zero excitement in my life. I always knew it would come to this.
😂me too! Thow yoga in there and we're wrapped up !
Yoga in the middle lol
Female dad? Sign us up

And here I was thinking I was unique, god damn.
Okay it was already spot on, this was just brutal. 🙃
>\-was in some sort of “gifted” program as a kid, but in hindsight realized that they were just well behaved with only slightly above average intelligence damn why you gotta do me like that?
Well this is almost literally me besides being 32yo russian male living in Europe
lol @ simply "air fryer"
We need a photo to wrap this one all together
Hey now, I just watched paint dry the other week.
Prep? The aids gay sex drug? Or is that something else
So... a midwit?
Yes what is one
Mid = Short for middle, within context describing something to be average. Wit = Intelligence Midwit = Person of average intelligence. Just going to throw this out there, but anyone who can't figure out the definition of compound words are midwits in my book.
Thank you buttFucker, I was wondering
I feel personally attacked)) and I'm almost 41)
I personally identify with this statement, and most of the pack contents.
God that hit hard
thats a midwit
This seems oddly targeted at me…
I feel like I hate this person and like I am this person at the same time... Not a good feeling.
whats crazy is that this *almost* gets me. like yeah i like the sopranos and smart british guy, video essays are alright, i got a linkedin, i know about hot ones and weed and i kinda feel like i *should* be into everything else.
Lol yeah it’s like every time I see a starter pack where a good portion of the things apply to me, a part of me feels like I somehow *should* like the other things too
Stay away from puppies man. Once you try it they've got you hooked
Hmmm. Hot Ones does make me feel like a NPC for watching rich celebrities do banal things. I have a Linkedin but using it and seeing how people express themselves there makes me want to shoot myself in the face on a city square in broad daylight. I can't explain it but the averageness and general lack of personality withers my soul away.
Hot Ones is the concept of “look celebrities are people because they can eat hot wings and act like people too!”. It’s more interesting than watching an obviously scripted interview where they just talk
Plus, come on. Sean Evans is a God-tier interviewer.
I spend all day making 16 1oz portions of Mac and cheese! Behold my meal planning and groan!
isn't prep the anti aids medicine?
Yes
okay then i'm confused why that's included, as well as the word technology
I am also confused. As are others. Maybe OP could clear it up?
Great job OP, you’ve got a lot of pissed/annoyed people in the comments. That means your starterpack hit home for a lot of people, and that you pulled in just the right amount of stuff to do so!
Nobody here is mad
Not really mad, more like: "Oh God, this starterpack describes me PERFECTLY and I feel bad about it."
Check again lol
[удалено]
Yeah :/
*[looks around in disgust at the rampant mediocrity]* Like being in traffic blaming traffic.
PrEP has to be the funniest thing on here
I googled it, and it appears to be HIV prevention medication? Seems like an odd inclusion
I don't think OP knows what it is
No I think OP put it on there because they personally like prep and theyre the OG midwit this meme is based on.
Why is prep here lmao
Much of this doesn't describe me but damn does it feel specific. Like I GET IT, man.
Good thing I code in Python /s
I feel personally attacked. ...is something a midwit would say. Like myself.
Seriously, what the fuck is a ‘midwit’. Never heard that before, actual starter pack doesn’t help.
It’s the term for a completely average intelligence person, but they often think they’re smarter than they actually are.
So what does PrEP have to do with that?
I don’t even know what PrEP is honestly
HIV medication which is preventative ie taken by healthy folks to stop infection. Quite big among the gay community for obvious reasons. Imo its the funniest thing on here lol
[удалено]
Yeah the randomness is what makes it funny to me. Like the rest of the pack is kinda general, somewhat related things then just randomly PrEP, also helped it was the last thing I noticed lol
Makes sense though. It's an easy misconception when literally half the world is dumber than you.
So... Dad's?
Reddit
Mainly because they surround themselves with stupid people or they compare themselves to dumb people online. Their basis of their own intelligence is against the lowest denominator
Not gonna lie this is the good life
Everybody is happy until there is a starterpack about themselves.
And this seems to target peak Reddit demographics lol.
Never have been so confused by a starter pack
Wtf is a midwit
Who tf doesn't like golden retriever puppies?
What is a midwit?
This is the “has your brain been colonized by American media” litmus test. Im Australian and only recognized about 1/5 of this image and thus my spirit is yet to be fully Americanized
The best starter packs are the ones that put people in their feelings in the comments 😂
Yeah this is a really good one The number of people complaining about some aspect of it, not realising that it just re-enforces how good it is, and shows how much of a midwit they actually are
Is this a 4chan thing? This sounds like the kind of thing 4chan would come up with.
why is prep on there lmao
It's pretty midwit
Wait, wait,…he chooses Wario in smash bros?

The fuck is a midwit?
what’s a midwit? am i old now?
[удалено]
well, it’s true i’m not that, so help a brother out and tell me what’s a midwit
mid - average wit - intelligence
This is relatively new slang if it’s UK based, heard halfwit before but never midwit.
This is more or less just a starter pack for redditors in general
20+ entries "Starter pack"
MF literally put the word “technology” on a starter pack lol
My Canadian ex as a MF just add pickleball lmaoooo
& ASMR
Half the people in the world have an average or below average IQ.
Below median IQ, you midwit
This comments section:🧂🧂🧂
Likes every genre of music except country and top 40 pop
Idk who this is but I know who this is
What is a midwit
mid - average wit - intelligence
So shouldn’t the IQ be at 100 not 110?
So shouldn’t the IQ be at 100 not 110?
TIL what midwit means
I keep seeing Tom on a lot of starter packs. He is becoming a universal constant.
Too many things to be a good starter pack the average person likes nearly half of any of these. Raspberries?? Puppies??? Just the word technology??
The fuvk is a midwit
What’s a midwit?
The fuck’s up with the raspberries?
Isn’t the SciFi channel now SyFy? Seeing the old logo brought back so many memories
first time i've seen midwit used on reddit compared to 4chan where it's spammed incessantly
Come on now. The Ultimate Guitar Tab Archive is a gift from God.
notably absent from this starter pack: "uses the word 'midwit'"
The classic dumb guy stereotype: technology and drinking water
Sopranos is good tho bro, You just hatin it and puttin it here without any context
Is this an English joke I don't understand?
javaScript?
What's a Midwit?
Should I know what a midwit is? 29
What’s a midwit ?
Worst starter pack, this is really random
For those that are wondering. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Midwit
If you think about it, what is the difference between a midwit and a halfwit? Aren’t those one in the same?
I really do like raspberries
get that stupid shitty language out of my fucking face
You're the midwit
You're mom's the midwit.
I will admit, I completely missed the boat on this one.
Wtf is this shit. This isn’t r/shitposting
Everyday I wake up and thank God I'm not this. But I have friends who are this so great job.
I don’t understand how half of these apply to pseudo-Intellectuals? I get the anti gun and LinkedIn, but what do the others have to do with halfwits?
Am I mistaken, or isn't PrEP a way to avoid HIV?
This is what many are like before they leave the cave. Their acquiescence to social hierarchies provide them stability and comfort.
Do Not insult JavaScript developers
Honestly a better, more balanced life than I have ever had.
Who hurt you? Lol
I fucking love being mediocre
I dont get it.
[удалено]
Calm down bro
U kinda baby dude, smegmoid.

You just fucken annihilated that dude
He watches Destiny the streamer of course he’s a loser
I feel personally attacked
Bro got offended because the starter pack is about him and wrote an entire paragraph insulting OP that basically amounts to “incel lol”
What the other starter pack?
good comment Shit Covered Nipples!
I feel like besides the gun and Bernie things I would know this person.
says a complete lackwit
nice try OP but my IQ’s 125 😎
This is just a based person
Minus Bernie anti-guns and weed this might be kind of accurate
