Amazing: This Mind-Reader Can Instantly Guess People's Pronouns With 99.9% Accuracy
Lifestyle · Oct 21, 2019 · BabylonBee.com

What's the first thing you do when meeting someone new? Exchange pronouns, of course, to make sure you refer to each other accurately. But what if you didn't have to do that?

Meet Earl Thornton. He has this amazing ability to guess people's pronouns instantly -- just by looking at them. And he's almost never wrong.

"I don't know, it just feels like I've always been able to do this," said Thornton, who is very humble about his nearly supernatural ability. "I just look at somebody, and then before I can even think, I have their pronouns in my head."

And he is quick. In less than a second after just glancing at someone, BOOM -- he has their pronouns. It's almost freaky to witness.

Maybe scientists can study how he does that and make a pill or something so the rest of us have that ability. If we were all that quick and that accurate at knowing each other's pronouns, almost no one would have to announce their pronouns upon first meeting someone. Think of that futuristic utopia!
