If Buzzfeed had a running joke that the sky is green and the question was about that the correct answer would be green even though it's blue irl.

How is the Bizzfeed part irrelevant when it's very much the functional core of the question? They didn't ask "Which place is popular for kitchens and meatballs (and Buzzfeed agrees, btw)?". They asked "What does Buzzfeed say about ...?"

No. It makes a massive difference whether something gets reported by the NYT or by BuzzFeed. You have reason to assume that a somewhat serious source like the NYT would base their reports on factual evidence.
BuzzFeed, on the other hand, is known for making up completely unfactual bullshit. How am I to know that they didn't release an article about kitchens and meatballs in Rome? It's quite credible that they would.

Not a single time did I advocate for the answer "Rome". I'm advocating that NONE of the answers seem more sensible than the others, given the thing the question asks for. Namely a Buzzfeed article.

>So if the NYT was quoted in the question, you would believe the answer?
If the NYT was quoted, the question wouldn't be worded so poorly to begin with (sounding indeed like a buzzfeed article).
But, yes, I'd argue that if a question did quote the NYT, one could trust that such a publication would try sticking to the facts and not make quite as ridiculous claims. Therefore, the idea that the article quoted might be bullshit might not come up at all, or at least could be argued against based on a general appeal to journalistic integrity.

>Question: "What did the New York Times say ..."
Thought process: >1) Well, anything other than IKEA sounds ridiculous. >2) The New York Times wouldn't want to publish ridiculous statements. >3) Therefore, the New York Times almost certainly said this about IKEA rather than the other options.
>Question: "What did BuzzFeed say ..."
Thought process: >1) Well, anything other than IKEA sounds ridiculous. >2) BuzzFeed publishes ridiculous statements all the time. >3) Shit, I don't know. It could basically be anything.
Yeah, but going by that logic, any of the answers could have been correct. In fact, "IKEA", as the least moronic of those four answers, would be the least likely correct answer.
It doesn't matter if they do, the point is to turn an otherwise debatable question into a verifiable yes/no. A lot of gameshows and trivia do it, usually with better things than buzzfeed like dictionaries or newspapers but this is also the silly first question.
>usually with better things than buzzfeed like dictionaries or newspapers
Yes. That's the point. BuzzFeed should not be used as a point of reference (or worse: source) for independently knowable facts.
That alone makes this question problematic.
What makes it even worse though is that they didn't just use BuzzFeed as a reference, they used it as an inspiration for that question. If you ask yourself how they'd have come up with it, it's pretty clear that they didn't write the question and then did research to confirm it. Instead, someone read a fricking buzzfeed article, thought "hey, that'll make a great question" and took over the exact wording. Basically making the question about a buzzfeed article, not any potential factual foundation behind it.
This deserves to be called out.
>Amerifats are so fat, they need cafeterias in their furniture stores >The furniture stores get to be know FOR their cafeteria items rather than the actual fricking furniture >They feel the need to take selfies in a furniture shop for some reason >Ikea is too expensive for them, despite the fact that Ikea is supposed to be the affordable option >D is usually the joke answer at the beginning, and this is set up like that
I'll never understand the spergy autism over this one. It was blatant. And if you wouldn't have guessed it, you don't know anything about IKEA. And if you think that's not fair, it's a quiz show. That's how it is. And for the non-Americans who b***h about it, this version of the show is for Americans, so why should a foreigner be upset when they don't get something a regular American either would know, or one with trivia knowledge would know? Suck it up. I probably wouldn't know jack shit about TESCO or whatever store your people go to, but it being on a quiz show in your own country wouldn't upset me.
It's one of those early questions where usually the answer can be logically deduced from the question so you don't actually have to know anything about the topic, and there is one ridiculous answer that is different from all the others that cancels itself out.
This one has everything flipped, where the question is an insane mess of buzzwords talking about nothing, and the correct answer is the crazy one that is unlike the rest, so you do have to know about the topic to figure it out.
>so you do have to know about the topic to figure it out.

The argument was why another question with a different wording ('what colour buzzfeed claimed the sky was?') would be bullshit and this one wasn't.
1. This is the toss-up easy $100 question
2. Ikea is clearly the odd man out answer
3. I know Ikea is known for their meatballs and none of the other answers make much sense when you think about it for more than a second
4. I correctly identify that this is just meant to be a breezy pop culture question
That’s how a normal brain should process it and identify the correct answer. Stuff like this
is just a weird thing to think.
>kitchens
>MEATBALLS
No, it just requires having heard about ikea.
Recognizing the football gag from Charlie Brown does not require you to have read all of those comic strips.
See this is exactly the type of autistic line of thinking I’m talking about.
>The Buzzfeed part is irrelevant.
How is the Bizzfeed part irrelevant when it's very much the functional core of the question? They didn't ask "Which place is popular for kitchens and meatballs (and Buzzfeed agrees, btw)?". They asked "What does Buzzfeed say about ...?"
Replace Buzzfeed with the New York Times or literally anything else. It’s completely irrelevant to getting the answer right. See
. You’re autistically zeroing in on the wrong thing.
>Replace Buzzfeed with the New York Times or literally anything else.
No. It makes a massive difference whether something gets reported by the NYT or by BuzzFeed. You have reason to assume that a somewhat serious source like the NYT would base their reports on factual evidence.
BuzzFeed, on the other hand, is known for making up completely unfactual bullshit. How am I to know that they didn't release an article about kitchens and meatballs in Rome? It's quite credible that they would.
You are over-thinking like a literal minded autist. Refer back to
>You are over-thinking
Sorry, but no, it's not over-thinking. It's taking the question at face value. They do quite literally ask about BuzzFeed, first and foremost.
You're just an idiot
You absolutely are over-thinking it which is why you would’ve failed on the first question and answered Rome.
>you would’ve failed on the first question and answered Rome.
No, I would not have. You're apparently both too stupid to understand what the question asked for (as in, actually asked for rather than what might have been implied by the context) and what I'm arguing here. Not a single time did I advocate for the answer "Rome". I'm advocating that NONE of the answers seem more sensible than the others, given the thing the question asks for. Namely a Buzzfeed article.
Nope, autistic, literal minded over-thinking is your problem. I’m going to once again refer you back to
Okay, genius, tell me: What exactly DID the question ask for, in your opinion? Let's see what your basic literacy level is.
See
>Travel to a place that serve meatballs and has a large selection of kitchens in the wild
>Uuuhhh... Rome?
So if the NYT was quoted in the question, you would believe the answer?
But since the question quoted BuzzFeed, instead of a reputable source, you think the answer is wrong.
That’s amazing.
>So if the NYT was quoted in the question, you would believe the answer?
If the NYT was quoted, the question wouldn't be worded so poorly to begin with (sounding indeed like a buzzfeed article).
But, yes, I'd argue that if a question did quote the NYT, one could trust that such a publication would try sticking to the facts and not make quite as ridiculous claims. Therefore, the idea that the article quoted might be bullshit might not come up at all, or at least could be argued against based on a general appeal to journalistic integrity.
>Question: "What did the New York Times say ..."
Thought process:
>1) Well, anything other than IKEA sounds ridiculous.
>2) The New York Times wouldn't want to publish ridiculous statements.
>3) Therefore, the New York Times almost certainly said this about IKEA rather than the other options.
>Question: "What did BuzzFeed say ..."
Thought process:
>1) Well, anything other than IKEA sounds ridiculous.
>2) BuzzFeed publishes ridiculous statements all the time.
>3) Shit, I don't know. It could basically be anything.
Autistic mental gymnastics and overthinking it.
What the hell is a meatball break then? Can you buy hot meatballs at Ikea?
famously. even he knew that
people literally go to ikea JUST for the meatballs, it's like its most famous thing
They sell them at a loss to get people to come in. Like Costco with its food court and rotisserie chickens.
yea
they're pretty decent too
Was anyone even watching Millionaire by this point? It wasn’t even the same show by that point. How did it stay on the air for so long?
habit watching is a hell of a thing
His evil clone in the background was feeding him the wrong answers
It's a bullshit question but he was such a ponce that I don't feel bad for him.
>things BuzzFeed says
How the hell is anyone supposed to know what kind of moronic shit BuzzFeed says?
>moronic shit
you just answered your own question
Yeah, but going by that logic, any of the answers could have been correct. In fact, "IKEA", as the least moronic of those four answers, would be the least likely correct answer.
no, IKEA is the least interesting (most moronic) thing to write about, therefore it's probably what BuzzFeed wrote about.
It doesn't matter if they do, the point is to turn an otherwise debatable question into a verifiable yes/no. A lot of gameshows and trivia do it, usually with better things than buzzfeed like dictionaries or newspapers but this is also the silly first question.
>usually with better things than buzzfeed like dictionaries or newspapers
Yes. That's the point. BuzzFeed should not be used as a point of reference (or worse: source) for independently knowable facts.
That alone makes this question problematic.
What makes it even worse though is that they didn't just use BuzzFeed as a reference, they used it as an inspiration for that question. If you ask yourself how they'd have come up with it, it's pretty clear that they didn't write the question and then did research to confirm it. Instead, someone read a fricking buzzfeed article, thought "hey, that'll make a great question" and took over the exact wording. Basically making the question about a buzzfeed article, not any potential factual foundation behind it.
This deserves to be called out.
dude. take your mother fricking autism pills
Keep reading BuzzFeed then, imbecile.
I have never read a buzzfeed article but the answer is obvious
>I have never read a buzzfeed article
It shows. You have no idea how unhinged they can be.
Doesn't matter
This was absolute fricking bullshit
>Amerifats are so fat, they need cafeterias in their furniture stores
>The furniture stores get to be know FOR their cafeteria items rather than the actual fricking furniture
>They feel the need to take selfies in a furniture shop for some reason
>Ikea is too expensive for them, despite the fact that Ikea is supposed to be the affordable option
>D is usually the joke answer at the beginning, and this is set up like that
Looks like we’ve got another $100 failure autismo.
>Amerifats
it's a swedish store with swedish meatballs and swedish product names
IKEA in general is impenetrable to actual Swedes.

I'll never understand the spergy autism over this one. It was blatant. And if you wouldn't have guessed it, you don't know anything about IKEA. And if you think that's not fair, it's a quiz show. That's how it is. And for the non-Americans who b***h about it, this version of the show is for Americans, so why should a foreigner be upset when they don't get something a regular American either would know, or one with trivia knowledge would know? Suck it up. I probably wouldn't know jack shit about TESCO or whatever store your people go to, but it being on a quiz show in your own country wouldn't upset me.
It's one of those early questions where usually the answer can be logically deduced from the question so you don't actually have to know anything about the topic, and there is one ridiculous answer that is different from all the others that cancels itself out.
This one has everything flipped, where the question is an insane mess of buzzwords talking about nothing, and the correct answer is the crazy one that is unlike the rest, so you do have to know about the topic to figure it out.
>so you do have to know about the topic to figure it out.
Nope. See
Nope.
>3. I know Ikea is known for their meatballs
That's knowing about the topic.
If you don't know that then the Ikea answer remains insane. Why would anyone take a "trip" to a furniture store to eat meatballs? That makes no sense.
Probably because you’re not from the United States and therefore the U.S. version of the show isn’t directed at you. Any other questions?
>Any other questions?
Just one.
Mmhmm. Frick off, foreigner.
Frick off back to Ikea for another meatball you fat Buzzfeed reading gay.
You definitely pretend to be American on Cinemaphile. Eat shit.

That would require pretending to be American in real life

My life's biggest regret was missing the auditions for this show in Bongland by a couple of weeks. My one goal in life is to be on Wheel of Fortune.
You wouldn't have made it, if it's any consolation. My cousins tried out for it once and it's kind of indescribable, the kind of person that they pick. Like they don't feel like real people.

I made the mistake of googling her. I have no idea how they made her look so attractive on the show.
Every single time we have this thread without fail, you have so many "hurrr durrr, how should I know what buzzfeed said?" posts. That is NOT the part that matters. Get it through your thick fricking skulls.

This is the kind of brown girl that will look like a goblin with her hair up. The stylist did all the heavy lifting framing her face and hiding her skull shape to make her presentable.
There was an episode of Jeopardy! once when a contestant was a technical manual writer for NASA.
She won several games in a row.
In one of her games one of the categories was "Aerospace Slang".
She did not get to ring in a single time on the category. Prick next to her kept beating her to it.
