We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Babe wake up, new pronouns just dropped

Never realized that the first sentence was so long

[-] AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 days ago

Read Moby dick it has sentences as long as half a page with 5-8 commas, 3-4 semi colons, and few real colons.

A roman senator is running late to an important senate meeting. He arrives 15 minutes late and enters to see each seat filled, with the exception of his own, and Cicero standing in the middle of the room giving a speech.

He manages to stealthily make his way to his seat without causing too much of a commotion and leans over to the senator next to him, asking in a hushed tone, "Hey, what's Cicero talking about?"

The other senator simply shrugs and whispers back, "I don't know, he hasn't gotten to the verb yet"

What is the first word and which is the constitution?

Ah the USA constitution. In the german one, its an article as the first word, excluding numbers and symbols. "DIE Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar." But technically germany has no constitution but only a basic law

[-] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 days ago

Of course the German "constitution" starts off telling you to die /s

Well, it's the only thing people will reliably do. Each and every last of us.

Happy weekend, I guess.

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Yeah sorry, this meme struck me as very steeped in current American politics (not sure if this same nonsense is happening elsewhere) so I didn't think about other constitutions.

All down to bigotry of course. For fun, try earnestly writing in absence of pronouns. Perhaps a bit more challenging than expected!

[-] DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 10 points 4 days ago

If you ignore all the headings and contents pages, I think it's "whereas".... So what's your point? Whereas isn't a pronoun.

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 38 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Constitution image that very clearly starts with 'we the people'

There are no headers before this. The "we the people" is actually quite large too

[-] DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 12 points 4 days ago

Which constitution is this? It's not our one.

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The US constitution. Thought it said US in the post itself, but I suppose it technically didn't clarify

In any case, they more than 99% likely mean the US constitution given how US-centric social media is, and how the US constitution's start of "we the people" is fairly well known in the US

[-] DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 15 points 4 days ago

How many Americans know the first few words of the Australian constitution? Not many. So they can't expect me to know theirs

[-] DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 11 points 4 days ago

How am I meant to know about every other country's constitution?

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 20 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Sure, not knowing it's the US constitution is reasonable if not from the US

However, I think one could take a reasonable guess that if the first word of a constitution wasn't a pronoun, this post probably wasn't about that specific constitution

[-] DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 8 points 4 days ago

Why would someone post something like OP without stating what constitution it is? Do they expect only americans to read it? Maybe keep your american jokes in american specific communities.

[-] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 16 points 4 days ago

The constitution doesn't have a contents page. It was written in the 18th century on a parchment.

The first thing in the constitution is the preamble, and the first word of the preamble is a pronoun.

[-] DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 6 points 4 days ago

Incorrect. Learn a thing or two before you post online. https://www.aph.gov.au/constitution
