Just wait until they find out public schools are giving their children dihydrogen monoxide without asking for parental approval.
Found in acid rain and cancer cells.
It’s found everywhere. They’ve detected DHMO even in the deepest parts of the ocean, and it’s been estimated that every single human being alive has at least some of it in their bloodstream. We’re fucked.
The most dangerous substance in our modern world
Literally everyone who consumed it ends up dying.
It turns out it is toxic to humans in large doses, but despite that it is still widely used by industry because it is such a cheap, abundant and potent solvent.
You think dihydrogen monoxide is bad HOH is right there beside it. On average globally around 1000 people a day die as a direct result of HOH exposure. It’s estimated to be a contributing factor in around 7% of all deaths. HOH is also impossible to get away from, it’s used to make tires, soap, explosives, I couldn’t possibly name everything it’s in. It’s even worse for kids, HOH kills more children than adults per capita. Regulators aren’t even talking about it, because it’s so ubiquitous it would crush our economy removing it entirely. So we just accept that it kills 320,000 people a year.
I hear that every single person who drowned with the Titanic was later found to have elevated concentrations of dihydrogen monoxide in their bodies. Coincidence? I think not.
Just wait until they find out public schools are giving their children dihydrogen monoxide without asking for parental approval.
You can’t give dihydrogen monoxide to children. Fish fuck in it when there are large quantities of it.
Everyone should be aware of the dangers of DHMO! Millions of people die every year from it!
Educate yourself at http://www.DHMO.org
Finally some serious information about this widespread danger! Thank You!
That’s a chemical!
I heard that same chemical is in the COVID vaccine. And it just so happens to be in the school lunches? Not in my back yard!
LVII percent of people are morons.
And XXIX percent at least understood the assignment
XIV% of people just wanted to see the results.
Or fiftyseven percent
I mean we really should be using Mayan numerals. Switching to a base 12 numerical system would simplify using the Imperial measurement system. /s
but why? you’ll still measure things in football fields, elephants or “large boulders” so it won’t affect you much
Rest of the world: meters, cm, mm
The US: gerbil teeth, lark tongues in aspic, toenail clippings on fire
Pretty sure king crimson are English, still pretty accurate tho
Hm see, we don’t have aspic, and I don’t know what a lark is. But I definitely use bananas for scale
Metres*
Meter is a measuring device (like a rain meter)
Metre is a unit of measurement
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre
Meter is seemingly the american spelling, it’s also spelled meter in many european countries e.g. germany, netherlands
But well he translated the rest of his post into English
Why would we use the American spelling if they don’t like the unit
I especially love it when they use the weight of an airplane as a comparison. “It’s as heavy as a Boeing 747”. Even if someone had an intuition about the weight of something that large, they would probably be wrong because aircraft are relatively light for their size, it helps when you need to fly. Everything in a plane is made to be as light as possible, so nothing on board of it would weigh as much as the non-aircraft equivalent you’d be familiar with.
Excuse me but the correct SI units for length and area are double-decker buses and Waleses respectively ☺️
Well you heard them. American numbers only from now on.
Get learning, kids.
Those are Mayan numerals for those curious
Now I ain’t sayin that’s a good system but I ain’t sayin it’s a bad system.
Straightforward enough. Dots and tics in fives. And a weird croissant for some reason.
That’s clearly a doughnought
What’s 20? 100? 1000?
How dare you! Circles!? They must be stars!!
It’s America, we count shit in stars and stripes.
What about other things besides shit?
Eagles per gun
If it’s big, I’ve seen them use refrigerators, washing machines and football fields as units of measure.
Anything to avoid the metric system.
“Wait, it’s all shit?”
“Always has been”
Time is measured in eagle caws (eagle shrieks?).
The sound many attach to eagles because of Hollywood is by the way not from an eagle, but from a red-tailed hawk. Video here.
Can’t speak for americans but in the UK it is customary to measure things in number of bananas and count things in tins of baked beans. Dont get me started on fractions.
Silly Brits. Bananas are only for scale!
Dont get me started on fractions.
13/16" is the dumbest fraction I have to use on a regular basis. I’d love to hear a good fraction rant!
…ucked.
🤣🤣
Gotcha questions like this (eg “should we ban dihydromonoxide”) are supposed to show us not to jump to conclusions, but I’m guessing the people voting no on this one aren’t taking much away from it
I think the point is less the conclusions of the poll itself, but moreso the ignorance of the average person about what the Arabic numerals are.
Do you want to tell them, or should i?
Idk, I have no idea how to read the results I’m American.
You’re joking, but give it a few months to a year.
This will be a republican talking point for doing away with public schools.
Back to Greek then. 😅
Is that like Roman numerals?
It is similar in that they use characters from their alphabet as numerals but not exactly the same way as the Romans. Greek numerals are decimal, based on powers of 10, just like Roman and Arabic. The units from 1 to 9 are assigned to the first nine letters of the old Ionic alphabet from alpha to theta. Instead of reusing these numbers to form multiples of the higher powers of ten, however, each multiple of ten from 10 to 90 was assigned its own separate letter from the next nine letters of the Ionic alphabet from iota to koppa. Each multiple of one hundred from 100 to 900 was then assigned its own separate letter as well, from rho to sampi.
Not really, they’re based on gematria like Hebrew numerals. α = 1, β = 2, γ = 3 and so on
my hebrew is a little rusty
Roman got it from the Greek too before adapting it, iirc.
Romans got like 80% of everything they stood for from the Greeks.
A joke goes: The Greek invented sex. The Romans later improved upon the idea by introducing women to it.
Hehe, yeah, even their God’s were recycled Greek ones.
We, a Christian nation, should instead teach Church Numerals like GOD INTENDED! (/s)
…ucking stupid
In fairness the question is open to interpretation. They don’t specify if they mean western or eastern Arabic numerals.
As schools in the west already teach western, the people responding could justifiably deduce that the question is referring to eastern.
But the Eastern Arabic numbers are the same as the western ones except that the Arabs call them Indian numbers
“What kind of swallow, African or European?”
Imperial mesure and Roman numerals fits good in this dystopic redneck country
My thought exactly. Arabic numerals imply the decimal system and then people can’t use their grandma’s recipes anymore.
I like the Batman unit
Someone should tell them…
I got a feeling they wouldn’t even listen.
