Would have been a better headline!
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".
Number one justification for islamophobia and sinophobia.
I legit never heard the word sinophobia and I thought it was a trigonometry joke.
I guess we need a joke that combines math and racism then.
It's the 0th cause of Indophobia?
Sorry, didn't mean to go off on a tangent.
Thy hips shall not speak falsehoods.
I, for one, enjoy Roman numerals.
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
Maybe the symmetry made people more likely to overlook the conventional way of writing things. Still no hard rule, but more leniency if it looks cool.
I came up with MMMCMXCIX, but your one seems better.

I hate that when i see memes like this all i can think is "its only a matter of time before stupid people share this with other stupid people unironically"
It probably happened before you even saw the meme.
Fox News is gonna run a piece on how we must eliminate Arabic numerals from American society. Your family will be talking about this travesty at Thanksgiving.

Roman! Cousin, let's go bowling!
literally in the middle of a fucking mission
A new Home maker class featuring falafel and hummus as side dishes is now mandatory to graduate High school.
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.

It's more than half
I don’t know man, something about his damn smile is so funny to me. It’s so smug, he’s always smiling like he just absolutely knows he’s making some very rich assholes panic and I love everything about it.
I highly doubt they're panicking. If they're even aware they're perturbed at best.
Fair, panicking was probably a bit of a stretch there. But I like how they at least burn a bunch of money on his political opponents
This post came directly from Al Jazeer which references Al Gebra.
I learned Arabic numerals in 1978 in preschool in Wyoming, and I never became a terrorist.
Never became a terrorist so far.
According to a study, almost III out of V of those polled opposed this.
Well to be fair, the republicunts would prefer kids not learn any numbers because only stupid people vote for Cons...

A photo of Zohran Mamdani standing in front of an American flag. It is captioned:
Mamdani has announced his first policy: children in New York public schools will now be required to learn Arabic numerals
I support this wholeheartedly.
