ManCalledTrue: I’d like to know the source of that poll. I question whether it actually exists at all, and if so, how much wrangling the data went through.

YourBlogSucksToo: Or some of them were fucking with the data

inoffensive1: … It does. Also, other cows.

grimskull1: Does strawberry milk come from pink cows?

FluSolverson: I worked on a dairy farm for five years and would still answer that chocolate milk comes from brown cows cause its hilarious.

ProfessorRiffs: Given that I’ve been an American adult for a long time, and I’ve never heard one single person claim to think this, I’m gonna call BS.

Detective_IRL: How now?

jgroda: Is that wrong? Are they black cows?

I_AM_Gilgamesh: That percentage is still more intelligent than the percentage of purple who voted for Trump.

Zyn-: We all know that Americans are dumb…but this cannot be true..

That is why we have a minor homestead and homeschool. American schools are more concerned with “feelings and outrage” than education.

farbo74: 100% of those people also voted for Trump.

zejokeer: Just goes to show 93% of Americans adults are idiots.
