when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

Polymarket tweets: "BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals."

Laura Loomer replies: "You know things are bad when you can't tell if this is real or a joke.

Dear God. It's real. Isn't it?"

6. Well, high time they updated

from the Roman numbering system.

I never got my mind around multiplying XVII by XIV!

But that is 17 times 14, and seeing my Roman calculator has a flat battery, I'm going to need to use my new fangled Arabic calculator.
(That's more of that there sarcy-asm!)

Great joke though. MAGA will spit chips!

What next?
Napoleonic Km and cms, L?

8. People often forget to carry the X

XVII*XIV=CCXXXVIII

7. Yes, Laura. It is both real and a joke. What you are missing is that . . .

. . . the joke is on you.

9. My friend is warning people that because Mamdani won New York, Sharia Law will be used.

10. By God..my daughter, from now on, will use Roman Numerals.

None of that Mulsum Abaham crap.

12. Doesn't everyone think in binary now? It is the 21st century for goodness sake!

If you'd like a headache, watch the following:

13. In accommodation to Laura Loomer's concerns, I ask her this:

What's MCMDLII x DCCLVVIII

There! No Muslim influence on Math!
