Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

that's what i'm saying, it's an obscure "fun fact" kind of thing that's not going to be on the test even if it comes up in class. i'd bet my last dollar most people in this comment section literally only know they're "arabic" numerals because it became a convienient political gotcha during the post-9/11 uptick in islamophobia.
I don't know if that's a good bet to make, I think Lemmy trends more towards the educated types who would learn it as a piece of general trivia.
Me from south germany also learning roman numerals did do a test on roman numerals :) It is or atleast was part of the teaching plan for 2nd-3rd grade
