Well, it is a headline designed to catch the total idiots. Those who, if they had learned Arabic numerals in school, would actually be able to hold a job.

I can come up with XVII reasons why that’s not a good idea.

True Americans use native numerals

I saw a meme about this on Lemmy and figured it was satirical. Good to know USAmericans are as stupid as ever.

Wait. This isn’t the Onion?

Lol! Wut?

Someone posted this on Twitter and the responses, like every single one I saw, were fucking depressing.

Although it is Twitter, which is now mostly a haven for bots, nazis, propagandists, and Nazi bot propagandists so I shouldn’t be surprised.

I can’t help but feel like this is also just a large portion of Americans and how they feel though.

Imagine having to explain it to Americans.

“BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani is expected to require ALL New York Elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals,” one post on X from member of the West Virginia House of Delegates Derrick Evans read. Evans was also as part of the January 6 attack on the Capitol. The post has over 300,000 views as of Thursday morning.

D’oh!

This is hilarious.

I’m kinda glad that certain people are completely flipping out over this.

I sure hope so. This is a much needed improvement.

If I worked at Newsweek and this was published by the organization I worked for I might kill myself. I mean I’d seriously have to consider it.

A new Home maker class featuring falafel and hummus as side dishes is now mandatory to graduate High school.

This fucking article is way too long. It should start with, “he isn’t.” state the facts, then end. Fuck this idiotic shit.
