Just wait until they find out public schools are giving their children dihydrogen monoxide without asking for parental approval.

Found in acid rain and cancer cells.
It's found everywhere. They've detected DHMO even in the deepest parts of the ocean, and it's been estimated that every single human being alive has at least some of it in their bloodstream. We're fucked.

The most dangerous substance in our modern world
Literally everyone who consumed it ends up dying.
It turns out it is toxic to humans in large doses, but despite that it is still widely used by industry because it is such a cheap, abundant and potent solvent.

I hear that every single person who drowned with the Titanic was later found to have elevated concentrations of dihydrogen monoxide in their bodies. Coincidence? I think not.
Just wait until they find out public schools are giving their children dihydrogen monoxide without asking for parental approval.
You can't give dihydrogen monoxide to children. Fish fuck in it when there are large quantities of it.

LVII percent of people are morons.
And XXIX percent at least understood the assignment
XIV% of people just wanted to see the results.

I mean we really should be using Mayan numerals. Switching to a base 12 numerical system would simplify using the Imperial measurement system. /s
but why? you'll still measure things in football fields, elephants or "large boulders" so it won't affect you much
Rest of the world: meters, cm, mm
The US: gerbil teeth, lark tongues in aspic, toenail clippings on fire

I especially love it when they use the weight of an airplane as a comparison. “It’s as heavy as a Boeing 747”. Even if someone had an intuition about the weight of something that large, they would probably be wrong because aircraft are relatively light for their size, it helps when you need to fly. Everything in a plane is made to be as light as possible, so nothing on board of it would weigh as much as the non-aircraft equivalent you’d be familiar with.

A base-12 metric system would be absolutely gorgeous. Geometry and trigonometry would be greatly simplified with a duodecimal unit circle. Our 360-degree circle is a truly ugly hack to make geometry play nice with a decimal number system.
Our base-10 number system would be as ugly to a duodecimal society as a base-7 system would be to us.

Well you heard them. American numbers only from now on.
Get learning, kids.
Those are Mayan numerals for those curious
Now I ain't sayin that's a good system but I ain't sayin it's a bad system.
Straightforward enough. Dots and tics in fives. And a weird croissant for some reason.

It's America, we count shit in stars and stripes.
Gotcha questions like this (eg "should we ban dihydromonoxide") are supposed to show us not to jump to conclusions, but I'm guessing the people voting no on this one aren't taking much away from it

Do you want to tell them, or should i?
Idk, I have no idea how to read the results I’m American.
You're joking, but give it a few months to a year.
This will be a republican talking point for doing away with public schools.
To be fair the system is hindu arabic.
Closer to hindu १२३ than arabic ١٢٣

In fairness the question is open to interpretation. They don't specify if they mean western or eastern Arabic numerals.
As schools in the west already teach western, the people responding could justifiably deduce that the question is referring to eastern.
But the Eastern Arabic numbers are the same as the western ones except that the Arabs call them Indian numbers

Fucking idiots...
Apparently they call it "Hindu-Arabic" numbers now. Not sure if that makes it more or less frightening
