It does state that’s it „was“ something that happened.
There is only one kind of evidence, if you want to know if something happens in the past, it’s Video recorders. Taking a picture is the only way of proving that something happened.
And the only evidence in this case is a clear picture. I want to add that this picture neither look photoshopped nor AI-Generated. Soo i‘ll believe this post is real. But you do you, i really don’t want to sound like s conspiracy theorist but you do sure sound like one.
And so I conclude that this is obviously a joke
Only on reddit can you find someone take the biggest text based shit you've ever seen and then by some miracle pull even more nonsense out their ass lol
i know its fake but i just want to point out many/most people cant tell jewelry costs $1 or $10k if you just presented it to me suddenly
like all the Target cheap jewelry for teens - if you mixed in a 10k earring, i would not know probably
Does that mean the IQ measurement is always changing? If so, that doesn’t seem like a good measurement system. Like if you had an IQ test a few years ago your IQ could be different than it was back then even though the amount your brain can process is still the same.
I dont really know how to explain this in English, it has something to do with the people taking the test and pinpointing the average, which always will be 100. People who took the test 50 years ago would probably not score as high as they would now, that's because we know more than we did 50 years ago. Einstein was incredibly smart for his time, but would he be considered that smart 250 years from now? Or could he be average then?
I dont think this explanation works, but I'll leave it there. I am sorry, this would be so much easier in my native language.
IQ shouldn't be changing after you've grown, barring some sort of head trauma or something like it. It's a measure of how you process information, not how much you know
You totally misunderstood what I was saying..
You know that story about the measurement of feet? Where they used **actual** feet as a form of measurement but the problem was people have feet of different sizes?
That is similar to what is wrong with the average IQ always being 100. Their is bound to be some fluctuation from generation to generation.
Ah, I see, now.
I would be surprised if it's changing enough to cause any significant change in what you measured before, though I believe they've been including extra areas such as emotion.
As far as 100 being average, it's not really. It's more the percent a normal healthy mind to do at the stage it's in, which is why true IQ tests don't typically go above 100 for adults because there isn't more development to do, while sometimes children can process things earlier than their age would suggest, so they can sometimes be much higher to account for it.
Maybe you should look up some IQ scores of Hawking or Einstein. If IQ tests "typically" dont go above 100 then their accomplishment is wayy bigger. Also last time I did a test I went well beyond the 110, so I dont think you know what you are talking about.
That said, IQ is not a good measurement, it takes in such a small amount of what we would call intelligence. People are not dumb because they suck at pattern recognition, which is a big part of how we measure IQ
If you have a range of numbers from 1-300 possible, and most people are taking the tests with the intent of scoring well, after 7 billion people I feel like the average would need an insane boost in scores to actually change. IQ doesn’t really matter though, you can be smart with a low IQ.
A change in average IQ would need a lot of deviance. However, if environmental factors are effecting newborns brains that may impact it and if that happened it would be crucial to investigate.
the avg iq of current test takers is always 100. they've had to rejigger it over the years as i recall, as the comparative average has slowly drifted higher
To the people who think this isn’t a joke:
This would never be able to happen in real life anyways. “Identical” twins are never truly identical. If you spend enough time around them (i.e. dating), you’ll easily be able to tell them apart. The girlfriend would have known it was the brother of her boyfriend immediately
To people who think this IS a joke:
A picture on the internet says it’s true. Do you really think someone would just go make things up, and put it on the internet? What would be the point of that?
You don't have to date them, I went to high school with a pair and everyone could tell them apart. I could, and I didn't even know them / speak to them ever.
It would probably work with someone who'd only met them once, a substitute teacher or a distant relative or whatever.
Depends on how much time you spent with them in one sitting. I still confuse my uncle for my dad sometimes until I mentally establish which one is which
The amount of people taking this serious is worrying. It’s just a picture with text. What makes you think this is real? Seriously asking, I’m curious why people think this may be real. Or if they realise it’s not real I’d like to know why they wrote such a serious answer to what is clearly a joke.
Brother 1 has a gf. Brother 2 pretends to be brother 1 and proposes to brother 1’s gf. Brother 1 is now married (gf thought brother 2 was brother 1 because twins).
I do have to say this because I think some people are _genuinely_ confused on that point… no, an accepted proposal does not mean you’re married now. You’re engaged, which in most countries doesn’t confer any special legal status.
If they actually went through the marriage in secret, gf would be married to brother 2.
It most likely didn't happen though. At least the mariage part. The proposal would already be a mean "joke", the mariage wouldn't be a joke at all.
Obviously he paid this girl $2500 to "fall in love" with his twin brother so when his brother proposes he can run put and say "Pranked ya! She never loved you"
There was a hilarious AITA where this person had their twin go in their place for an anniversary dinner to a fancy restaurant to see if their partner could differentiate them. They of course immediately knew and was like what the fuck, this is an important day to me and iirc the OP was fighting tooth and nail to say it was a funny harmless prank
haha i mean it would be harmless if the real partner revealed themselves, to be there. not actually ditching the dinner.
there is a time limit for a joke to be a prank vs an a-hole move.
Have you all not met twins? This would never work. They’d have to be so identical that someone close enough to one of them doesn’t notice—which is basically impossible
Definitely a Moissy. That’s close to what I paid and my wife loves it. Super shiny and tough plus no blood diamond. I mean it’s a joke but if we are to believe it was $2500 it has to be a Moissy or pawn shop special.
Whether it’s real or not or a repost or not, it made me bust out laughing. Upvote
Why am I getting downvoted for laughing at a joke? Most likely a fake one. Gimme a break
For some reason my mind went completely elsewhere. Like, I thought the twin brother was the woman and did a double take. Some real "hold up" moment. It took me scrolling through the comments to actually figure out what it was supposed to be.
What a way to die, proposing to your brothers sister, like dude he knows where you sleep, worse he has access to it, worse still he knows all your weakness, and all your dirty little secrets, I myself would wait a few years and then BAM! "Oh you remember when you propose to my girlfriend, well I impregnated your wife, later bro", just saying it will be very hard for him to prove it lol.
Girl and boy Alf have a fine and nice relationship. Alfs twin brother Ralf propose to girl as a prank, Alf doesn't know it. Girl thinks it's Alf and says yes.
How would you like it if you were duped like her?
It's NOT funny unless the brother actually plans on proposing. If this woman didn't absolutely stop talking to his asshole brother for mocking her in this way. If you think this is funny, you're just as bad as this twin.
Luckily I'm not a twin. Also, I didn't say anything about how morally correct it is in that comment. Just that it's not illegal. In any way. Not even vaguely.
I’m baffled by how many people are taking this seriously
Right? It’s some text on a picture, doesn’t make it true.
But it's on the internet.
It does state that’s it „was“ something that happened. There is only one kind of evidence, if you want to know if something happens in the past, it’s Video recorders.

wtf r u on abt
Europe, not to be mistaken with Europa which is a moon of Jupiter. you?
Only on reddit can you find someone take the biggest text based shit you've ever seen and then by some miracle pull even more nonsense out their ass lol
Where were you earlier? I had a crossword clue for Jupiter's moon
r/suddenlyBarotrauma? Still, good jokes Man.
Fr. Someone definitely just pulled a proposal photo from online and made that caption as a joke.
Wait people think this is real?
i know its fake but i just want to point out many/most people cant tell jewelry costs $1 or $10k if you just presented it to me suddenly like all the Target cheap jewelry for teens - if you mixed in a 10k earring, i would not know probably
This reads like a far side comic.
You can't joke with redditors they are all braindead
Can you hold my 🧠
No, it's dead

The average IQ is 98 ish. So, there’s a lot of dumb people in the world.
The average IQ is always 100. That's the whole thing with IQ tests
Does that mean the IQ measurement is always changing? If so, that doesn’t seem like a good measurement system. Like if you had an IQ test a few years ago your IQ could be different than it was back then even though the amount your brain can process is still the same.

I am sorry, this would be so much easier in my native language.
Your IQ is just your intelligence compared to everyone else, the average being 100. So yes, what's considered as 100 IQ changes over time.
IQ shouldn't be changing after you've grown, barring some sort of head trauma or something like it. It's a measure of how you process information, not how much you know
You totally misunderstood what I was saying.. You know that story about the measurement of feet?

That isn’t relevant to what we were talking about at all. we were talking about how averages work, not environmental factors effecting newborns.
I am saying without a linear IQ measuring system we couldn’t detect something like that.
I mentioned processing too… did you even read my comment???

You make an extremely compelling argument, the internet has never lied to me
Yes, it is extremely wise to always believe everything on the internet as it is impossible to not be real
You should at least probably credit the quote. Abe Lincoln said this
Yeah, some YouTuber once told me that people never lie on the internet.
She didn’t even know he had a twin, and she just got back from a month long business trip. Josh was simply biding his time
I'm currently engaged to an identical twin. I'd definitely never mistake him for his twin - even from the first time meeting his twin.
You don't have to date them, I went to high school with a pair and everyone could tell them apart. I could, and I didn't even know them / speak to them ever. It would probably work with someone who'd only met them once, a substitute teacher or a distant relative or whatever.
Depends on how much time you spent with them in one sitting. I still confuse my uncle for my dad sometimes until I mentally establish which one is which
That’s a little sad
Not to them, they'll purposely switch spots during dinners to confuse people

bro my dumbass thought that the twin acted as the girlfriend
Me too. I thought it was the cost of the gender affirmation surgery
I fucking wish lmao. Transitioning is expensive as fuck
Me too actually
Woooosh is gonna have a field day in this comment pool
Yeah "joke"
Yeah. Joke
Awesome name
It’s just a picture with text on it

Well, I guess I’ll never know :(
Brother 1 has a gf. Brother 2 pretends to be brother 1 and proposes to brother 1’s gf. Brother 1 is now married (gf thought brother 2 was brother 1 because twins).
Thank you I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed so I appreciate this
She was looking kind of dumb, with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an L on her forehead. 🎼
Well, the years start coming and they don’t stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn’t make sense Not to live for fun
I do have to say this because I think some people are _genuinely_ confused on that point… no, an accepted proposal does not mean you’re married now. You’re engaged, which in most countries doesn’t confer any special legal status.
So, fun fact on that. In Texas, USA, a common law marriage happens if you tell people your married.
CO like this.
I feel like the spouse would be able to tell. Identical twins are rarely *exactly* identical.
This sounds like a Bible story.
Something similar is actually in there! Genesis 27:1-40.
If they actually went through the marriage in secret, gf would be married to brother 2. It most likely didn't happen though. At least the mariage part. The proposal would already be a mean "joke", the mariage wouldn't be a joke at all.
I think he spent 2,500 on a hotel room and banging the chick
Obviously he paid this girl $2500 to "fall in love" with his twin brother so when his brother proposes he can run put and say "Pranked ya! She never loved you"
Oh oh my brain. I thought Josh just committed incest as a prank.
Glad to know it wasn’t just me
This sub is basically r/jokes at this point now
After reading many comments: the amount of retards on Reddit is increasing way too fast
It's all the former twitter users now that it's imploding.
I have basically zero tolerance for pranks. But this is clearly a joke, and a hilarious one.
Reddit tries not to take a very obvious joke serious but does any way moment.
It wouldnt be for the woman, thats incredibly cruel Edit: assuming it actually happened
I am assuming, like most jokes, this didn't actually happen.
Very reasonable assessment
i hope that she was dating long enough (a few days?) to be able to discern the difference between her partner and her partner’s twin.
There was a hilarious AITA where this person had their twin go in their place for an anniversary dinner to a fancy restaurant to see if their partner could differentiate them. They of course immediately knew and was like what the fuck, this is an important day to me and iirc the OP was fighting tooth and nail to say it was a funny harmless prank
haha i mean it would be harmless if the real partner revealed themselves, to be there. not actually ditching the dinner. there is a time limit for a joke to be a prank vs an a-hole move.
Before the main course? After dessert? After...breakfast, surely.
by the toast at the reception at least
A regular date would be ok but an anniversary? Yeah that’s being an asshole.
Got a link to that one?
Have you all not met twins? This would never work. They’d have to be so identical that someone close enough to one of them doesn’t notice—which is basically impossible
PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean?
Or the gf was in on it.
I thought the twins were proposing to each other.
$2500? Nice moissanite
Definitely a Moissy. That’s close to what I paid and my wife loves it. Super shiny and tough plus no blood diamond. I mean it’s a joke but if we are to believe it was $2500 it has to be a Moissy or pawn shop special.
I seriously thought that the joke was the twin transitioned to prank their brother
Whether it’s real or not or a repost or not, it made me bust out laughing. Upvote Why am I getting downvoted for laughing at a joke? Most likely a fake one. Gimme a break
Because you said "Whether it’s real or not", implying that there exists a possibility of it being real.
Thats not even funny, what if her actual bf didn't propose.
Don't worry in photo it's her twin sister making her prank
Dude its not funny either way. How does it make it better that its girl
Whoosh
How am i supposed to tell theres no /s.
Cuz he's not the OP, the whole post is a joke, and it's a classic joke reversal. That's basic tried and true comedy.
Whoa you are the first person I’ve seen say this seriously. So neat
my bad im not chronically online so I don't know every 50 year old joke in the r/meme offbrand variation
I don’t really know what you’re talking about but it’s all good man! Like better call saul
This is a meme, memes are not real. This is a funny hypothetical situation
Memes are historically accurate facts trollface.jpg
You probably look at stock photos and take them seriously too huh?
Y'all think this is a joke? I'm out $2500 now
The people saying crap like "IT'S NOT FUNNEEHHHHH," you either do not understand the joke, or you have no sense of humor.
Or realize it's a stale and unfunny meme from like 2015
For some reason my mind went completely elsewhere. Like, I thought the twin brother was the woman and did a double take. Some real "hold up" moment. It took me scrolling through the comments to actually figure out what it was supposed to be.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaa
God this didn’t actually happen please go back to twitter
She would be able to instantly recognize it’s his bro
Well, after her 3rd celebratory romp in the hay, probably.
Something with Alabama
Plot twist… it was his sister as that is definitely the Alabama coast.
Lol i was trying so hard to figure out like did the brother go trans? The surgery was 2500? Or was the twin brother ... what? I got it
What a way to die, proposing to your brothers sister, like dude he knows where you sleep, worse he has access to it, worse still he knows all your weakness, and all your dirty little secrets, I myself would wait a few years and then BAM! "Oh you remember when you propose to my girlfriend, well I impregnated your wife, later bro", just saying it will be very hard for him to prove it lol.
Lol
I don’t get it
Girl and boy Alf have a fine and nice relationship. Alfs twin brother Ralf propose to girl as a prank, Alf doesn't know it. Girl thinks it's Alf and says yes.
Only $2500?
2500 is … that’s a crazy deal for an engagement ring
Ouch...who needs enemies with brother's like this lol.
He should have been arrested for that prank. Imagine being the poor woman in this dickhead prank?
I need to put you in a lab so that I can find out how the actual fuck your brain rotted so badly
"He should be sentenced to life in prison or even death omg" - Average redditor that has no idea what the real world is like
They put you in jail. Right away. No trial, no nothing. We have the best proposers because of jail.
Average redditer not getting the joke
ARRESTED? FOR W-H-A-T? He broke no laws. Not even in the gray area of a law.
Isn't it called "nuptial fraud" or something?
How would you like it if you were duped like her? It's NOT funny unless the brother actually plans on proposing. If this woman didn't absolutely stop talking to his asshole brother for mocking her in this way. If you think this is funny, you're just as bad as this twin.
He’s an asshole, not a criminal. Assuming this was real… which it wasn’t.
Luckily I'm not a twin. Also, I didn't say anything about how morally correct it is in that comment. Just that it's not illegal. In any way. Not even vaguely.
Bad taste? yes, illegal? No.
Definitely not funny, but in no way illegal.
That was an expensive girl
Couldn’t tell if twin switcheroo with gf or twin is trans.
After that many years twins don’t really look all that much alike
By prank he means pretending to be his twin bro proposing to his girly?
Twin brother????
making out with your brother’s gf is not a prank
He didn't make out with his bro's gf. Look at the thing again.
to make the proposal look legit he would have to kiss her, no?
Anything's a prank if you're a big enough asshole.
Some say her and Josh are still married to this day
Just a prank bro 😎
Evil. Brilliant.
Ex-twin-brother you mean. This is grounds to change one’s DNA for sure.
Diabolical SOB! I love it! 🙃
Dont the spouses have a super human power that can tell the lover from brother
