Roman! Cousin, let’s go bowling!
He’s indoctrinating out youth with a satanic Muslim mysticism called Al-Gebra.
in case some people don’t know: algebra actually comes from the Arabic word “al-jabr”.
I This is Roman discrimination II Half of MAGA doesnt know what an Arabic numeral is. III Reeeeeeeeeee IV Roman numerals are superior
“Half” of MAGA? 😂
I support this wholeheartedly.
I, for one, enjoy Roman numerals.
Get out.
one for one? what does that mean?
Oh yeah big guy? How many letters you need to write 3999?
Isn’t it MMMIM? Only one extra character
subtraction rule only allows a smaller numeral to be placed before a larger one if it is one of the following combinations: IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, or CM. The numeral ‘i’ ((1)) can only be placed before a ‘V’ ((5)) or an ‘X’ ((10)).
That rule wasn’t always hard and fast, just as IV or XL were sometimes written as IIII or XXXX respectively. The XVIII Legion was occasionally termed XIIX, which should have been right out, but it worked well enough to inscribe in stone on a memorial and use on official calendars.
The fundamental requirement was that People would look at it and understand what it is saying. There was no “Office of Numeral Oversight” correcting people. The norms that we may learn about are descriptive of the majority, but not strictly prescriptive for all the cases.
If it follows the basic additive/subtractive pattern, it’s good enough.
If you want to be a prick, write IMMMM
I came up with MMMCMXCIX, but your one seems better.
I love doing 3999+1 in Roman numerals in my head without converting first.
IX
Many machines on IX, new machines.
That’s easy: many.
groan
According to a study, almost III out of V of those polled opposed this.
you can count on it
Would have been a better headline!
I could go for a little Shakira law.
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
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?
Are you referring to the dihydrogen monoxide scares of the ‘00s?
100% of the people that drink that die.
🤣🤣🤣
Or bombing Agrabah?
I remember the same. It was on a big name TV station, too.
Oh Facebook must be lighting up with frothing boomers right now
mostly AI content too.
A new Home maker class featuring falafel and hummus as side dishes is now mandatory to graduate High school.
I’m not a fan of hummus, but I’d be down for that class anyways. Teach kids some delicious food, particularly foreign in origin, to show them the rest of the world has nice things too!
Until they pull a Britain and invade countries for their food…
Gods forbid we teach kids useful life skills…
“Children will be thaught how to make shawarma at home.”
Fuck, I would have enjoyed that course.
Homemade falafel and hummus is so much better than store bought and so easy. I just gotta perfect a pita recipe.
these people are probably going to confuse hummus with humus.
I love falafel and hummus. I only found out a couple years ago but I’ve spent many a meal making up for lost time ♥️
Home made babaganoush is also amazing.
Slice a large eggplant in half, place face down in a glass baking pan. Add a few tablespoons oil, shake salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder lightly on top. Cover with lid and bake at 375° for an hour. Till skin is shriveled and darker. You can also uncover near the end and roast it more if you like.
Let it cool. Take each half and scrape the loose insides into a food processor, it should just all slide off the skin. Add a few cloves of garlic, some lemon juice (maybe 3 tableapoons or adjust to your tastes), then toast a layer of sesame seeds in a smaller pan 6 or 9 inch sized with a bit of oil. Stir them often because they will burn if the heat gets to them too long. Add to the food processor and blend till garlic and seeds are chopped fine. Salt and pepper to taste.
You mean Tent Makers? /s Not on my watch

Mamdani has announced his first policy: children in New York public schools will now be required to learn Arabic numerals
Aryabhata and Brahmagupta approve.
