    3 to 5 on average

    I think it’s a speech thing that got written down, but then also written as the number instead of the word.

    Like they use of the word “one” like this:

    That’s one weird thing to do.

    That’s a weird thing to do.

    So I read that as:

    averages 3-5 passengers

    averages a 3-5 passengers

    averages one 3-5 passengers

    averages 1 3-5 passengers













  • If you weren’t wondering about the method of obtaining the data in the meme, you might want to reflect on why.

    Literally what started this chain of replies, me asking how one gets these numbers. I learned how Americans come to these numbers now, I just feel there’s some hostility in some of the replies simply for not knowing how something works but wanting to learn. It was simply the comment where I again saw someone mention numbers and now I really wanted to know where the numbers originated. I could have asked the same question in a top comment but I think the place where I asked is kinda irrelevant.



  • In my country voting is anonymous, how would anyone know based on their sex or color or whatever how anyone voted. Here, your vote is considered private so asking a person how they voted as they walk out the polling station is just a foreign concept to me.

    What’s even weirder is how you came to your conclusions. You really have to explain the mental gymnastics you used, because you’re really coming out of nowhere.
