Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

On the internet, nobody knows you're the 43rd president, just trying to put food on your family.

*numeracy is the word you're looking for.

you're not wrong though, literacy is also not their strong suit :)

In Louisiana, they think numeracy is what gets you run outta town or burned alive, and they're not entirely wrong there either, historically speaking.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No, numeracy is when you draw cards to see the future.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

No, numeracy is when you goin' around in public and ain't got no clothes on.

That comma could have been anything else and it would been a valid sentence.
