IT GETS WORSE WITH EVERY ADDITION
how does this get even worse
I think about once in a while...
We have another one...
This is the internet now tho 😭💀
Omg so many additions since I last saw this post! 😂😂😂
It's funny but incredibly telling how entitled/ignorant/insensitive some of these people are... idk if it's an education gap or purposeful ignorance.
The really bewildering thing to me is that I remember when you needed to get up and pull a dictionary off the shelf, or visit a library to look up the facts you needed. Now people have all kinds of information literally at their fingertips and they can’t be bothered to use it.
Oh dear gods, it's gotten worse
When you know politics but no facts
don’t take people too seriously on the internet
This hits different when combined with that "Americans don't learn other countries exist till they're in 5th Grade" post from the other day.
Demily recently got another one lads
Also, I love that, in the sign language one, it seems like the last image might've been a gif of "fuck you," screenshot at the perfect time to let you know they were about to sign "fuck you"
As a romanian person I gotta add this one too
This is my favourite post on this website
On the Romanian one, I had a friend who taught Latin to schoolkids back in like 2016, and one time when we met up he had this… really confused look on his face. I asked him what has happened and he was like “I gave my kids a homework to write 300 words in Latin as if you were selling a villa in Pompeii and one of them wrote this” and hands me a print-out.
Now I’m no expert in Latin, but I don’t think the Latin for central heating is ‘central heeting’
“You would be correct.”
So I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this isn’t in Latin.
“You would again be correct.”
So what is this
“Romanian.”
Oh, they- they saw Romanian on Google translate and-
“-and assumed it was the same thing as Latin.” He has his head in his hands. “They thought it was the same as Latin.”
(it turns out neither is the Romanian for central heating 'central heeting’ but this was back when Google translate really sucked, especially for languages like Romanian. But teachers, feel free to use this as a scare story to make your kids not use Google translate)
