More (not so) fun facts:

54% of American adults read below a 6th grade level.

21% read below a 5th grade level, which is considered functionally illiterate.

High immigration numbers don't fully explain it either, as first gen immigrants only make up about 1/3 of those with low literacy.

Most people (compared to the average dork that ends up on lemmy) are in fact dumb stupid idiot assholes, who act 1000% sure of things they are completely mis or disinformed about.
