Celebrity-obsessed people are less intelligent, new study boldly claims https://t.co/pdgknGbp2T pic.twitter.com/U8vnC8h89m

a study published late last year states that "there is a direct association between celebrity worship and poorer performance on cognitive tests" measuring both literacy and numeracy

ok but it seems a little biased to only include a vocabulary test and a math test and not a test on how many b-list celebrities the people in the study can recognize.

my best friend is a doctor making mid six figures a year, but i can name the main cast of riverdale and she can't. so who's the real winner here?

I haven’t watched a teen drama since the early 00s and I’m the only one in my middle aged friend group who knows who Sabrina Carpenter is, what she looks like and that she is Gen Z’s Becky with the blonde hair.

You'd probably be better at bar trivia

Of course. We couldn't pay our student loans beyond one semester.

But we don't WORSHIP celebrities. They're disposable, it's right there at the top of the page.

Yesss this. I'm here for the drama of it, not the celebrities

ONTD doesn't read

[inwazyja]

It’s why we failed that vocabulary test.

…why Hungary?

[masktaster]

Maybe it's a misprint and they asked 1,763 Hungry adults

which makes sense bc ik I'd perform poorly on those tests too if I hadn't eaten beforehand

[shittysoup]

Why not? Who else should Hungarian scientists study?

[loveumbrella]

strong american vibes in this comment lol

[littlelistmaker]

this seems to be about people who actually like celebrities tho. i'm not a stan. i'm just here to talk shit.

[stf_ugh]

Mte and I can’t decided if that’s better or worse lmao. It is pretty impressive how good our memories are tho tbh “oh you don’t mind a certain person? WELL 7 years ago they did x y z soooo”

[bluestoplights]

lmao my fiance comments on this all the time, he's like "how do you KNOW this" when I recognize b characters in movies

When I started working in the screen industry it was very important one day that I knew that Keira Knightley and Jamie Dornan dated (and it may not be have been amicable).

We have useful information!!
