I ignore most of the link bait attempts whilst visiting Facebook.
But every once in awhile I will click on one if the bait hooks me.
Like today, I clicked on one that said that most people could not answer 20 questions about subjects they learned in elementary school.
Well, most of those 20 questions were a bit more advanced subject matter than what I remember learning in elementary school.
I got all 20 questions right, though. And an A+ grade. It's been decades since I got an A+ for anything.
The test result also said "You're basically a genius." If I had a dime for every time I've been told that, I'd have at least a dollar. The genius blurb is in that faded text under the kid with two thumbs up.
Recently I got hooked by another Facebook link baiter. This one hooked me by saying something like "On average only Chefs can answer more than four of these cooking questions correctly."
Well, the questions were so dumb and easy I don't see how anyone could get one wrong. Like there'd be a photo of a cracked egg, with the question asking what the yellow part of the egg is known as. The choices, other than yolk, were totally absurd. All the questions were like that.
I think some of these Facebook link bait quizzes are designed to make stupid people feel smart. I know they have that effect on me.....
