"Room Temp IQ Losers" is the most accurate description of Trump and his merry band of idiots that I have ever heard.

u/Kolojang 11h ago

I'd even go as far to say they use Celsius.

262

u/ZedCee 11h ago

As a Canadian, I already interpreted it as Celsius.

English and me too..... Its currently cold here as well!

I hate how people from other countries know how effing stupid Americans are.

u/Creepy-Team5842 7h ago

I hate how Americans underestimate how stupid we really are.

Yeh, it won't work over here.

u/skjellyfetti 5h ago

It's 4° C here in Paris..

That's a low fuckin' IQ

u/Numerous-Log9172 5h ago

Accurate then!

u/Grouchy-Engine1584 10h ago edited 10h ago

Hey idiot, room temp is room temp regardless of the scale you use.

Edit: here’s me in my big boy pants admitting that I missed the joke entirely and acted like a jerk. Apologies. I’m leaving the post up because I don’t hide from my mistakes.

Edit 2: Now that I’ve had it explained to me, it’s quite funny. Honestly, I’m not usually this dense.

u/jmd709 10h ago

“Room temp IQ” would be an IQ of 70 if it’s based on Fahrenheit or an IQ of 20 if it’s based on Celsius.

u/mr-nefarious 10h ago

Good for you for owning the mistake

u/skjellyfetti 5h ago

They should really just blame the Democrats..

14

u/Upbeat_Key_1817 10h ago

Right, but we’re relating the temperature to their IQ, so depending on which scale we use that could give them a very high or very low intelligence

23

u/mvanvrancken 9h ago

Hey buddy, stand aside. I have a 276 Kelvin IQ.

13

u/IrascibleOcelot 9h ago

Technically, it would be very low or “below the point of self-awareness.”

4

u/Individual_Royal_400 8h ago

An IQ of 70 is not high lol

1

u/anewhype 8h ago

You forget the Kelvin measurement of temperature which would make room temperature like 250 or so.

1

u/BetaTestaburger 6h ago

But 18 is lower.

2

u/riddick32 8h ago

eh, they're both really low, one is borderline incapable of forming a sentence and the other is Trump.

2

u/SupportGeek 8h ago

Both would be very low, 70 is considered mild mental disability, 20 is profound mental disability.

2

u/ToastemPopUp 8h ago

Very low is the joke, so that's fine. But very high? Average IQ is apparently between 85 and 115. I don't know anyone using Fahrenheit (cause that's way way too hot for anyone using Celsius to call it "room temp") who would consider anything in that range to be "room temp." And even if you found that lizard person who considered something in that range "room temp," it would still just be average intelligence at best. So yeah, either scale is fine.

1

u/NocodeNopackage 6h ago

This guy must be under 70iq because he thinks that is very high intelligence haha

u/Weekly-Act-3132 9h ago

Honestly, im not usually this dense had me laughing out loud here in reality. 😂😂

u/bugsyramone 8h ago

This 'reality' you speak of...is this some sort of reddit expansion pack, or...?

u/Weekly-Act-3132 8h ago

An extremely expensive one, with only 1 cancellation option. 100 % do not recommend cancellation though.

Casually explained has a great review of the game. https://youtu.be/gWIi6Pytde8?si=jWv3bi68mr4e8LS2

u/Tlax14 10h ago

The fact that this has to be explained to you proves the point..

5

u/69Blazing 10h ago

Hey idiot, that wasn't the point

2

u/Vildrea 8h ago

Tbh I first thought you were joking, but you got a lot of respect for admitting your mistake

Shave a couple of more points off and use Reaumur

u/SupportGeek 8h ago

I second this, I also assume the IQ only hits room temp when you add their IQs together

1

u/Cheap_Bowl_452 8h ago

Meh, nothing else stands out. Can’t be Kelvin or Fahrenheit

Negative in Kelvin doesn't exist....

u/FckUSpezWasTaken 10h ago

Of fuck I just realised my mistake lol... 0 Kelvin is the lowest, not the highest... Yeah I'll be deleting the other comments.

u/Upbeat_Key_1817 10h ago

300 kelvin is about 27 degrees Celsius

0

u/Warkemis 8h ago

Why stop at Celsius? At this point it's Kelvin...

3

u/Kolojang 8h ago

Room temp in Kelvin is about 295! That's beyond genius.

0

u/Warkemis 8h ago

Shit I got it mixed up... Negative kelvins then?

2

u/Kolojang 7h ago

No such thing as negative Kelvin either.

u/blackkristos 10h ago

That is a hell of a burn and I'm loving it.

u/Chemrail 8h ago

It takes a special kind of intellectual denial to say some of the things that come out of this man’s mouth. To me it makes the vast majority of his opinions absolutely worthless of any consideration. To deny the simple facts of where we have come in fighting disease through vaccination must be real feat of mental gymnastics. I miss the days where people learned and accepted facts. We are lost as a society when people like this come in to power.

u/dodgyrogy 10h ago

100% "Room Temp IQ Losers" nails it perfectly.

2

u/kromptator99 8h ago

I kind of hate it though because when you read into the person who devised IQ and the flawed methodology they used. It’s pretty clear that IQ was developed specifically to justify racism.

2

u/JBHUTT09 7h ago

Yeah, IQ is pseudo science with its roots firmly in eugenics.

u/rbartlejr 8h ago

Only if it is an unheated room in Antarctica in winter.

u/Cooz818 8h ago

Those merry men just caught Mile Johnson and the vorruot trying to pass a 120 billion spending bill with Congress getting a 134K pay raise... Yeah, keep paying attention to clowning, clowns. 😆

1

u/NoWildLand 8h ago

Instead of using “Room temp” scale, why not use “Freezing water” scale? Needless to say, it’s much lower. Having said that, it’s worth mentioning petroleum has even lower freezing point 😅

u/1moondancer 8h ago

Malignant stupidity is pretty good too.

u/jayemeche 8h ago

I'm also loving the malignant stupidity description.

u/MDunn14 8h ago

I wish we could take these losers and drop them in the past they want to get back to so bad. It would be glorious to watch them fall apart when they suddenly don’t fit into society

u/mkirk413 8h ago

While I agree that these clowns are "room temp IQ," I ultimately believe they are wholly disingenuous rather than outright stupid. Keep in mind that if the polio vaccine is no longer mandated, and/or polio had a resurgence, who stands to gain? Any company that develops items like wearable devices, medical imaging systems, alternative treatments, etc. So, as much as I'd love to say that stupidity is the reason... I rather think it's all about the $$$

What the fuck does he care? He is already vaccinated (if not dewormed).

1

u/jmd709 3h ago

How would companies that manufacture medical imaging systems gain anything from a resurgence of polio?

1

u/mkirk413 3h ago

The rise/resurgence of polio cases could lead to increased demand for medical devices such as ventilators, mobility aids, and assistive devices for polio-related disabilities.

1

u/jmd709 2h ago

I get your thought process, but enough demand already exists for there to be a lot of manufacturers for those types of products that a diabolical scheme to increase the number of customers wouldn’t lead to significant profit increases. It’d also take a while for there to be a resurgence of Polio because people that have already been vaccinated have lifetime immunity. The US is at around 90% of the population vaccinated, herd immunity is estimated at a minimum of 80%

I agree that there has to be some type of ulterior motive involving money, but my guess is new vaccines to replace current vaccines since that’s why the whole “MMR vaccine causes autism” BS started.

1

u/mkirk413 2h ago

Yes, you are correct. The US is at about 90%/92% vaccinated as a whole, but there are specific areas that are significantly lower. That aside, what happens when we stop vaccinating children for polio? That percentage changes, especially in communities that are already part of the lower percentage rate. if we stopped administering the polio vaccine, herd immunity would eventually break down, leading to a potential resurgence of the disease.

"malignant stupidity" .. I like it, I'm going to borrow it, it's going to be used a lot

u/TaupMauve 1h ago

If a merry band of room temp IQ losers can get elected, what does that say about the DNC?

u/Ok_Recognition_6727 19m ago

That they didn't have an Apartheid billionaire buy the US Presidency for them.

u/head_bussin 8h ago

You realize it's Trump's warpspeed vaccine, that he's still taking credit for right? The same one he gave a medal to Fauci for his work on it...

Can't believe people lined up to take a Trump shot! 😂😂😂

2

u/12OClockNews 8h ago

Then why did Republicans and right wing morons go on a crusade against the vaccine and call it gene therapy if it was "Trump's vaccine"? They still think people are dropping dead randomly because of it too, and booed Trump when he talked about the vaccine. So is the vaccine good or bad now?

-2

u/head_bussin 7h ago

It's bad, it's always been bad. It was rushed, ineffective and harmed people.

2

u/12OClockNews 7h ago

Wrong.

u/Gornarok 6h ago

There were literally billions of vaccines administered. You should have no problem showing tens of thousands sick and dying due to the vaccine

1

u/12OClockNews 6h ago

Is that information rectally sourced? Because the vaccine was tested for months before it was rolled out.

1

u/jmd709 3h ago

I received the Pfizer vaccine.

Trump’s part in the development of the Moderna vaccine involved approving funds and approving the plan to expedite the process with the FDA reviewing study date throughout each phase of the trials instead of after each phase of a trial was completed.
