I came across this gem of a headline earlier (wtf added by me).

Seriously, is the populace so dim that we need these lowest common denominator headlines?

"It's wet when it's raining, experts say"

"You should wear a jacket when it's cold, experts say"

"Summer will be warm, experts predict"

"Toddlers not as tall as grown-ups, studies suggest"

Maybe it's a clickbait title, maybe the almighty algorithm thinks I'm an idiot, I don't know. But this type of "news" articles sound like they were written for 6-year-olds and it makes me a little depressed.

"If you shake it more than once after you pee, your playing with it, experts say"

FML, and I thought being in the hospital was sunshine and rainbows
