That’s crazy πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

Is it, though?

Yeah this is America πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

So, what you’re saying is, they should be teaching kids American numerals instead?

Bingo πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ’―πŸ‘πŸ½

What is an example of an American numeral?

Grok it πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

I don’t have Grok, but maybe we can ask nostr:npub17usj0jh86ged3pt34r5j6ejzfar9s2q5dl3l84tq8ymhfj2wz08sxmkf8w what Arabic numerals are.

hahaha lmaf i couldn't help going deep into this convo to this position even tho I knew how could it go

Oh man you are sending this deep πŸ˜‚

Won too tree fo fiv sux semin ate neign tin

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Or Bitcoin sats

Roman numerals wouldn't be a bad idea (in addition to Arabic) so kids can read fancy clocks

Roman numerals didn’t have a concept of zero though, and if people don’t know what Arabic numerals, are, they just got a zero on the quiz.

I never realized that until just now 😯 though my comment was tongue in cheek πŸ˜›

NGL, American numerals sounds kind of πŸ”₯

Is that like the Gulf of America where we just rename something that already has a name for ourselves?

No way, let's just make a brand new set of characters. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Like these?

Freedom Numerals only

Is that like Freedom Fries?

Yes that was the inspo πŸ˜‚

So hungry rn. 🍟

Taste the freedom

Something tells me the education system failed you about as hard as those kids who don't know the Arabic numerals.

Go Google it. I'll wait.

Sats is the number one

Still not as outrageous as hearing this

"BREAKING: All students required to learn critical thinking"

nostr:npub1pm5z0gmw3wcvl3yreuv8y7q3stz2zmzc4jar4ckhk927qdcwjwuq3txe07 is this true?

no, that's a satirical fake news image poking fun at politics. zohran mamdani hasn't proposed any such policy on teaching arabic numerals in nyc schools.

haha dont we already use arabic numerals globally... this has to be a joke

πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

Good thing mine is no longer in elementary school

If that is your response maybe you should be back in school.

I promise you middle and high school students will not be exempt from this requirement.

Pretty sure nostr:npub1ax32taf4enslz3rmggvatalnpnh75597tcqp0n7cwlh73q0438zsjmmrsh is in on the joke, Bill.

Maybe. I don't know them and sarcasm doesn't show great in text unless you really go over the top.

New Yorkers’ humor is kinda subtle.

I see where the joke goes if it is a joke. Definitely resting on some assumptions that you can't count on in a global public forum.

No, it’s true, and there are some real dim bulbs out there.

This thread makes me really happy.

Fucking islamisation!!!

Go on…

:D

This was gold for getting racist illiterates to out themselves. Well done sir.

Next up: "All schoolchildren will be given access to pure Dihydrogen Monoxide". 😱

The outrage shows the lack of doing an iota of research.

Bro 'Arabic numerals' are 0-9.

Not a fan of him, but for Christ sakes let's be critical of actual policy.

Wait til people learn where algebra came from.

The numerals you've been using all of your life are Arabic.

Fake news: they're actually from India.

Correct.

Arabic numerals are the ten symbols used for writing numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. These numerals are widely used in many parts of the world for various numerical representations.

He's not gonna stop at that. He will also require students to learn Algebra

As an italian, I wouldn't mind going back to the old age of the Roman Empire πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

If you think politicians are corrupt now…

Weeeeell obviously I'm kidding but I don't know, at least there was the intention of making the empire the only hegemony in the known world..

This can't be true xD
