I wouldn't be surprised if some people think algebra is a terrorist organization

@DeluxedEdition That's such an unpatriotic opinion, especially on the day we celebrate our independence.

In America, we don't grow up. We just grow fatter and angrier

@TinyViolins and some of us grow more ignorant 🌚

@DeluxedEdition That's the American Spirit!
Draw the line?? What's wrong with learning more and more??

There is no line when it comes to knowledge....
@ozgirl512

@Soossie everyone contributes everywhere .... Hugs
@Soossie I didn’t know the first, but I was told the second by a friend who originally lived in Iran.

I’m going to assume this is satire. If it isn’t, why did your handler leave you unsupervised?

I mean, the population of reference is this...


ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@Elessar brilliant!
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
@Elessar I’ll take things that didn’t happen for 500
Elessar · 26-30, M
@DeluxedEdition I don't know about the former but I've seen nuts on here sharing the latter 😅 (or hearting it when I posted it as bait)
Yeah, let’s go back to Roman numerals!

@Phoenix The irony of "decimal" being a latin derived word is not wastest on me...😷
Phoenix · 36-40, M
@whowasthatmaskedman yup, to decimate was to divide (the enemy) by 10.

@WhateverWorks I promised @666Maggotz she could have the popcorn concession.

What is enjoy about this joke is the notion and lesson that Arabs aren't some "other" and our cultures have been overlapping for Millenia.
And what about those calculus cults, too???
It's nice to know. It took 30 mins to learn lol
Conservatives win. No nummers.
They say we ain't using no Arab nummers. I think they're ready for kindergarten.

Better than Roman numerals. I won’t have a clock or watch with Roman numerals on them.

Wish they learned English in class, all the little f#ckers know how to do is text.
Tracos · 51-55, M
what numerals would you propose?

match sticks?
Phoenix · 36-40, M
@Tracos that's option III.
One of the many.

I know, right? First it's Arabic numerals, then they'll be learning about mastication!
