It’s an older trolling sir, but it checks out
I hate that when i see memes like this all i can think is “its only a matter of time before stupid people share this with other stupid people unironically”
It probably happened before you even saw the meme.
Fox News is gonna run a piece on how we must eliminate Arabic numerals from American society. Your family will be talking about this travesty at Thanksgiving.
Haha let’s count like Rome people CCEXIVII - ??? = !!!
I shared it ironically with a group of people that won’t understand it. I proceed to watch silently as they raise their cortisol levels.
Roman! Cousin, let’s go bowling!
literally in the middle of a fucking mission
I don’t know man, something about his damn smile is so funny to me. It’s so smug, he’s always smiling like he just absolutely knows he’s making some very rich assholes panic and I love everything about it.
I highly doubt they’re panicking. If they’re even aware they’re perturbed at best.
Fair, panicking was probably a bit of a stretch there. But I like how they at least burn a bunch of money on his political opponents
I learned Arabic numerals in 1978 in preschool in Wyoming, and I never became a terrorist.
Never became a terrorist so far.
This post came directly from Al Jazeer which references Al Gebra.
Well to be fair, the republicunts would prefer kids not learn any numbers because only stupid people vote for Cons…
Funny that in Chinese, I literally have always known it as 阿拉伯數字 (Arabic Numerals).
I’m starting to realize more and more how much the Chinese Language is just simply better at teaching concepts.
Disclaimer, I am ethnic Chinese, but I’m totally not biased at all :D
Edit:
Also, while we’re on the topic of Numerals, teach Chinese Numbers as well, its literally one syllable per character, much easier to pronounce and remember.
English has become my primary language, but I still often find myself counting in Chinese (Cantonese).
They’re definitely known as Arabic numerals elsewhere too. It’s mentioned in Math class fairly early on when Roman numerals are also introduced. I’m sure that even in American schools, it’s mentioned that they’re called Arabic numerals.
Unless you mean that in Chinese there’s just no word for “numbers” and you have to use the name of the specific system?
I mean, I’ve personally never heard of the term “Arabic Numeral” being uttered in a classroom from 2nd grade all the way through Highschool in the US Schools I’ve went to. It’s just “write the numbers in words” or in “numbers/digits”.
Which is a sad indictment of the school system you attended.
Damn, maybe the US system is worse than I thought.
There are so many general knowledge things that aren’t necessary for survival or to do your job that the general populace seems to lack. This is one of them
We call them Arabic numerals too but the street name is numbers. Very powerful concept
I once said “Arabic Numerals” in class (US), and my classmates thought I was trying to be racist… like… bruh… that’s literally what these nunbers are called…
So yeah… I never used that term once again.
Chinese/Japanese characters have kindof always led to good student outcomes in wrote memorization because of the necessity of pattern recognition. With an alphabet there’s simply less to learn, and you don’t have much context since etymology in alphabet based languages is so much more esoteric.
Also, Americans aren’t really taught much about technology from outside of the American sphere of influence. American schooling has a lot of dead zones.
ITS AN OUTRAGE I TELL YOU! MATH IS AMERICAN! INVENTED IN AMERICA!
Ahh yes. The good ol’ 1 2 3s!

Would have been a better headline!
He’s indoctrinating out youth with a satanic Muslim mysticism called Al-Gebra.
Number one justification for islamophobia and sinophobia.
I legit never heard the word sinophobia and I thought it was a trigonometry joke.
I guess we need a joke that combines math and racism then.
It’s the 0th cause of Indophobia?
Sorry, didn’t mean to go off on a tangent.
in case some people don’t know: algebra actually comes from the Arabic word “al-jabr”.
We joke about it, but I remember stupid yanks falling for something similar immediately after the World Trade centre attack
As a country, their ignorance is matched only by their arrogance
Like the flight where the ‘Karen’ notified the stewardess that a passenger was writing notes in a foreign language and was concerned he was a possible threat. Turned out he was doing math equations
Guilty of being brown
Are you referring to the dihydrogen monoxide scares of the ‘00s?
A mate of mine had a sister who did her PhD in genetics in the early 2000s.
She went to a rally of stupid hippies, just to see if they had anything to actually say with their protests about whatever they were upset about at the time (Facebook and stuff didn’t exist then)
After they ranted and raved about how genetic modification was terrible, and jerked each other off, she put her hand up and asked if any of the unwashed crowd could tell her what the letters in DNA stood for
Silence. Not one of them had a fucking clue what they were actually arguing about
Kinda a stupid gotcha to gatekeep with. Ask about a basic function such as “what are the 4 bases” and turn it into a teaching moment.
They weren’t there to learn
They were there to slap each other on the back for being part of a group that feels a sense of superiority
That, and unwashed hippies are fucking stupid, so good luck teaching them anything
DNA stand for Delightful Nuclear-happy gAndhi, duh.
100% of the people that drink that die.
🤣🤣🤣
There are still people alive who drink dhmo. But it’s close to 100% indeed.
Or bombing Agrabah?
Yeah, our stupid people really broke the mold over here. They are painfully dumb, and trying to reason with them will actually damage your health.
Maybe start punching them in the teeth?
I remember the same. It was on a big name TV station, too.
Thy hips shall not speak falsehoods.
I could go for a little Shakira law.
I can hear her Kermit voice looking at this
