"If it's called common sense, why is it so rare"

This video asks you a mere four questions. To pass the test, you must answer with simplicity and prevent yourself from overthinking the questions. Remember the consequences of your actions and that each question may live on in the next.This video is for entertainment purposes only.

1. You can't put a giraffe in a fridge
2. You can't put an elephant in a fridge
3. Pretty sure fridges didn't exist when Noah was alive
4. If the crocodiles are on the ark. Than its not filled with crocodiles. Meaning that it'd just be a river to begin with.

This isn't a test... this is literally a joke my Dad once told me.

Question: how do you put a giraffe into a fridge?

Me: YOU DONT?

That’s common sense

[mileso]

Question 1: ok, a little weird but fine.
Question 2: you can put the elephant in a different fridge... never said the same one
Question 3: if Noah collects EVERY single animal, why would he not just take the elephant out of the fridge
Question 4: the river isn’t occupied by crocodiles if it doesn’t have any crocodiles in it

Whoever made this test seriously needs help.

1. You don't
2. It won't fit
3. The ones we haven't discovered yet
4. You go through a bridge or you fucking don't cross the river

You could have told me all the questions were connected and also how is this common sense

[EXRazeBurn]

These questions do NOT judge common sense.

 "Overthinking" is one thing, but it's ALSO "common sense" to know the typical size of a giraffe or an elephant and the typical size of a refrigerator and know these answers don't work.

The CORRECT "common sense" answers for the first one would be "You don't" or "You would need more information: lie does the animal have to be alive to count?  How large IS the giraffe, and how large is the fridge?".  The second question, in addtion to the other concerns would have the question, "Are we talking about the same fridge as in the 1st question or a completely different fridge?"

The fact that a four year old doesn't possess the knowledge of the world (and in some cases even basics like concept of relative size) to account for a cognitive problem does NOT mean they have superior reasoning skills.  It merely means they don't dismiss answers as being fundamentally incorrect out of hand.

Now if you wanted to pursue questions about CREATIVITY, ala the capacity for LATERAL THINKING, that's an entirely different argument and yes I'd say older people and especially professional tradesmen are often terrible at that sort of logic because they've been trained to repress it.  But it DOES NOT mean they're any less proficient at common sense reasoning.

This should be called “The test that turns you into a psychopath” because when I got to the crocodiles, my brain immediately went to “feed them the giraffe”

[nuggystan]

"Common sense"
*opens refrigerator takes out giraffe puts in elephant close refrigerator*
oh ya sure ok

[jaydonnolan]

If we have common sense, we know that an giraffe will not fit in a refrigerator. So when we realise that it is a huge fridge (or tiny animals) when the answer is given, why should we assume that the fridge is not large enough to fit both a giraffe and an elephant? Why would we need to take the giraffe out of the fridge just to put the elephant in? That's the only thing I don't understand. 

[jlcrayton]

Anyone else think chop up the giraffe for the first one? Do I need help?

Q: How do you put a giraffe into a fridge?
A: YOU DON'T.

[georgeh]

The ACTUAL answers for this "common sense test"
1. How do you put a giraffe in a refrigerator?
- you can't
2. How do you put an elephant in a fridge
- you can't
3. I can't even be bothered to type it but
- such a task would be impossible
4. There is a river, you must cross, however the river is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you cross the river without being killed?
- you wouldn't cross the river, and the crocodiles wouldn't be on an ark because that task is impossible.

This is not common sense, this is simplistic thinking that's why children succeed in this test. Because their brain are literally underdeveloped.

1. Is wrong. A regular refrigerator is too small for a giraffe.
Also wtf is the point?
Trying to squeeze a giraffe in there is one of the few false answers you could imagine there.

2. Is wrong as well.
The question clearly states "A" fridge.
Even if it would be the same, there is no reason for the elephant not to fit in, if the giraffe can.
You just ruined abstract thinking and internal consistency.

3. Makes no sense whatsoever.

4. Answer contradicts question.

Wow that was really a waste of time.

[elecapp]

This is an anti common sense video. What a waste of 2 minutes.

[OokileyGMR]

"This question tests your memory"
"This question tests your repercussion acknowledgment"

I thought it was a *common sense* test

[TheBigGirty]

for the giraffe one I just thought "How the hell am I going to put a giraffe in my Damn fridge?"

[pizzapoosta]

common sense: you can't fit a giraffe in a refrigerator

[DrALisin]

What this really tests is your ability to ignore practical reality.

Let me guess!!!: IT'S FROM "THE BRIGHT SIDE!"
