Now there's a clickbait touting "The test that will tell you if someone is a psychopathy".
My confident is not exactly brimming.

I've taken one of those 'Are you a psycopath?" tests on several occasions. Sometimes they tell me I am a psycopath, and sometimes they tell me I'm at the opposite end of that particular spectrum. I haven't worked out why that is ... maybe it's just that different tests test for different things ...

Re: Can't read it wrong
I've never taken one because I'm afraid it'll tell me I'm not.
This is where we call in the statistician. Or a psychologist. Or both.
Is debunkery medical advice?

Here's another clickbait headline: "[Photos] *****'s Famous Wife That Few Know About." (name obscured because I'm a gentleman; make what you will of the full stop).

Re: Can't read it wrong
I've just Googled the phrase "Famous Wife That Few Know About" (without the full stop). I get page after page after page of different articles, most with a different man's name. It must be some kind of obsession about such things.Nanohedron wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 12:38 pm Here's another clickbait headline: "[Photos] *****'s Famous Wife That Few Know About."

I'm not getting what your "obvious question" is.

The definition of "famous" is "known about by many people." I suppose the obvious question is how the headline can possibly be true?
