Has anyone else noticed a sudden lack of reading comprehension skills? - eviltoast

Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.

They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.

    I’ve been a cashier for ages and a question that often pops up for customers on the payment terminal is “would you like to donate to X charity”. How often people ask me what they should press, yes or no… I look at them ask them if they would like to donate to X charity and it’s like a light goes on for them and they suddenly understand.
