Some people use cucumbers and pickles as dildos. It could be a dildo farm.

I’ve known that for as long as I can remember. I’m not terribly surprised that someone doesn’t know that. That’s ignorance on a small level vs stupidity.

Meh, for people not really into pickles or vegetable gardens its not that they are stupid. It’s just that they gone their entire lives without ever giving half a fuck to even think about it.

We have a member that didn't know that hamburgers are made from ground beef.
Other examples - "Digital antennae" Nitrogen fill for tires Firearm cartridges that won't fire in outer space The sources of electricity on the other side of the wall Bullets climb after they leave a horizontal barrel "Where are you going?" Flying home. "You can't go" ? "The air is dark, everyone knows airplanes can't fly in dark air " A southern state legislator that shares my surname introduced a bill to codify the value of pi = 3. He was fairly stupid in addition to ignorant. |

Honestly, I don't see that as particularly dumb. When I think of pickles, I think of the tiny miniature-looking cucumbers in jars - it's not that much of a stretch for someone to think that the small miniature ones might be a different species/variety than the big regular cucumber that you buy at the grocery store. Also, I personally don't like pickles, so I don't spend time thinking about them.
 By the same token, are those little miniature "corn" things you sometimes see in salads the same as regular corn, or are they a different species? I have no idea because I never thought about it and I don't care. Someone who DOES know might think I am "dumb" to not know the answer, but I really don't think it's that unreasonable for someone to not know.

I argued with a former HR woman who was trying to convince me a 3% bonus was better than a 2% raise. I told her I'd take a 1% raise over a the bonus. Her ending argument was that I could sign something to opt out of the bonus if I didn't like it.

A friend's wife bought a bag of cranberries and began eating them.
When she said that they were bitter, her husband asked her: "What did you expect?". "I thought they'd be sweet like what's in the can". He has neck problems from shaking his head so much.

They probably think they magically appear on the shelves from a pickle factory and never heard of a farm or a garden. |

There's a disturbing amount of folks, I have discovered in my time on this Earth, that don't know that. They come from all walks of life. These folks don't read ingredients, or directions, and probably don't cook for themselves either. |
