And the Latin alphabet (plus a couple letters) too. Damn furriners. Bring back the Futhark!
Lmao, I love this kind of stuff. It makes dumb people so angry
I love that too, but I feel like we have to make them smart and not angry :(
You can't fix stupid
But you can teach the ignorant.
Only if they’re willing to learn. 😢
We are fucked, aren't we 🤔
LOL... as opposed to using Roman numerals? WTAF. I can't even comprehend the stupid.
In Germany, we have a right-wing party en par with the US Republicans: The AfD. Just as Nazi, just as nuts.
Some time ago, someone riled them up with the "Did you know they teach Arabic numerals in school now?", and quite a few of them blew a lid...
Well, the dihydrogen monoxide that is in your Zuchini is literally an industrial solvent!
Have you seen what dihydrogen monoxide does to pure, strong iron?!? It corrodes iron unbelievably fast! And people just.....consume it in most of their "healthy" foods!
Wake up, sheeple! Stop drinking dihydrogen monoxide!
~/s - this message brought to you by Brawndo, the thirst mutilator~
FWIW this is by far less dangerous and aggressive than oxygen, which caused the first global mass extinction when it started to amass in earth's atmosphere (and plays a major role in the corrosion of iron you mentioned).
And yet people tell you to breathe in and out...
You know what's funny, the dihydrogen-monoxide bit works in part because when you tell someone "ha ha, you're anti water" they should get embarrassed. Like, it's impossible for them to continue arguing, you know?
But if anyone is going to take hidden-agenda numerals at face value and still insist that we use a new, much stupider number system to get away from centuries of Arabic influence, it would definitely be nazis, lol.
Highly educated USian here.
I would cry tears of joy if I woke up and found that President Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho was having his inauguration parade exactly as shown in the image.
To make it interesting, ignore the figurehead and any global elite child sex slave trafficking ring they may or may not have been a part of. Consider the background characters instead.
In this image you have Luke Wilson playing a character who is known to be the smartest person on the planet, and who saves lives with their knowledge by teaching the people how to do things like water their crops, AND who got dragged into the position rather than being a cutthroat ambitious asdhole.
In a similar image of the real world you might have somebody like Stephen fucking Miller.
Next he'll be forcing us all to drink dihydrogen monoxide, a chemical that's known to be fatal to humans under certain conditions!
They literally use that shit to power steam engines! Now imagine what it does to your insides. Nasty, nasty stuff.
Dont forget it is a key component in both hydrochloric acid and making nuclear power plants operate.
A friend of mine ingested a ton of it and died. They found him at the bottom of a lake
Sources claim an up to 100% mortality rate!
i heard he'll teach kids the "latin" alphabet instead of Amerian one😡
I just checked with my local school, and they're not just making them learn these arabic numbers, they're forcing them to learn AL GEBRA!!! Sounds like foreign nonsense to me, so I'm starting a petition to have the head fired, and possibly flogged.
You should check with your local schools too. Keep this policically correct woke DEI rubbish away from our kids!
In universities for computer science they must learn the teachings of the muslim https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Khwarizmi, that's disgusting.
The monster! My kids will learn Roman numerals and Greek math that stops at 10000! Like nature intended!
Next thing you know, they'll be teaching our kids algebra and algorithms.
“Zero”? The fuck kind of sorcery is this? If a number can’t be counted, it has no place in my concept of math!
People making jokes about dihydrogen monoxide, and imma be honest, I feel like it should have been the gold standard internet stupidity filter that disqualifies your credentials in any form of discussion because of the insane amount of people that fell for it back when the internet was still new.
If you couldn't handle H2O, you can't be trusted to use the internet seriously lol.
And Al-Gebra too! The horror!
Every sixty seconds in Communist New York, a minute passes.
Next they are going to find out they are learning other Arabic topics like al-Gebra.
So, there WAS an onion (or similar) article stating exactly this like the day after he won. So it looks like some of these idiots just ate the onion
Arabic Numerals have taken over the world! When will this madness stop? /s
Especially that diabolic number "zero". It is a pure Arab invention. The Romans did fine without it. Then the Arabs introduced zero and we know what happened with the Roman Empire. Now, zeros can be found everywhere - they can even hide in computers. America should really exzerminate these zeros befote it is too late!!
Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Where do they think numbers in English came from
The Onion really is competing with reality to come up with good headlines.
Fun fact, what we call Arabic numerals are not the numerals used in Arabic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Arabic_numerals
Again? They do this whenever a nonwhite person is voted into office.
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
