Cognitive bias Memes

The brutal collision of statistics and human psychology in one graph! This meme perfectly captures how people respond when asked to pick a "random" number. Normal people (with average IQs around 100) tend to choose "37" - a number that feels random because it's prime and not commonly used. Meanwhile, those at either end of the IQ bell curve simply pick "1" - the most mathematically elegant choice that's simultaneously the most obvious and least random possible option. The real irony? Truly random selection would follow the bell curve distribution itself, not cluster around specific numbers. Your brain can't actually generate randomness - it's too busy trying to look smart or being accidentally brilliant!

The mathematical paradox of our brains! For most humans, subtracting the current year from their birth year requires a full system reboot and three backup calculators. But if you were born in 2000? You strut through life like mathematical royalty, instantly knowing your age matches the last two digits of the current year. The cognitive privilege is simply unfair. Meanwhile, the rest of us are over here performing mental gymnastics just to figure out if we're 34 or 35. The elegant vampires in the image perfectly capture that smug "I don't need to count on my fingers" energy that 2000-babies exude when asked their age.
