I don't get it, do you mind explaining?
It's a thing kids say to taunt each other, "girls go to college to get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter, to get more stupider".
What does that... mean? Is it a jab about college attendance demographics skewing towards women?
Kids don't know about college demographics. It's a dumb thing kids say to tease each other. Like 7 year old kids. It just means boys are stupid.
Yeah one of the ~~Moody blues~~ someone posted with the girls playing jump rope made it click
EDIT oops I meant "comic." I got distracted by the Moody Blues playing on the radio.
The thought of elementary school girls clowning on boys by pointing out college attendance demographics is precious though.
Ah, got it, thank you!
...or vice versa, usually depending on the taunter's gender.
Also, see xkcd 1202 and 2771
Now I've got a hankering for pamplemousse 😄
