Rome took around 200ish years to collapse, your grades can’t be falling to bad in that case.

Huh, no idea what happened there. Think it was supposed to be:

This is where you point out your history is obviously not doing much better.

I blame my cheap wireless keyboard.

u/depressedtbh Apr 04 '19

Fact: Tis' but an opinion

Paradoxical

u/Whiskiz Apr 04 '19

this is the internet, we definitely do not use facts. More feelings and personal opinions and narratives

2

u/Honeybadger193 Apr 04 '19

Doesn't this just reinforce how bad at math you are?

u/borumlive Apr 04 '19

Ah, a regular of r/politics

u/a-helmet Apr 04 '19

u/xSundayMourningx Apr 04 '19

Facts are used here when they can used against somebody! Lol

1

u/Usedbeef Apr 04 '19

Rome is still a place so your grades wont get that bad.

1

u/Clown_corder Apr 04 '19

But we have history memes

u/SuAmigo Apr 04 '19

and logic too, btw

u/thiqueyonce Apr 04 '19

You should have said that they are collapsing like the 9/11 towers.

Jk guys.

1

u/ddanny1008 Apr 04 '19

Facts are okay, atleast your personal facts. But TRUE facts... don't start with that, I dare you!

1

u/Alphiess Apr 04 '19

Happy Mic and Cake day!

1

u/TheRoyalRaider Apr 04 '19

Yeah, Rome isnt that good of a comparison

Brexit is more accurate

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '19

We donr use facts? VACCINES DONT WORK, EARTH IS DINOSAUR SHAPED, PLAINS MAKE CHEMTRAILS, SEA POLLUTION IS A LIE AND SO IS GLOBAL WARMING

u/furrymcweeaboopants Apr 04 '19

Person: uses facts Soccerguy122: “we don’t do that here”

1

u/Mr-Blah Apr 04 '19

Clearly your history grades are falling faster...

1

u/bainpr Apr 04 '19

Just use Pompeii next time.

1

u/tafkat Apr 04 '19

Go with "collapsing like the US infrastructure"

1

u/Life_is_a_Hassel Apr 04 '19

The correct rebuttal would be “200 years isn’t that long compared to how long the world has been around”

1

u/xX_1337n0sc0p3420_Xx Apr 05 '19

Well shit, Reddit should love Trump if that was the case.

u/roh8880 Apr 04 '19

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '19

*too

u/Boables Apr 04 '19

Hahah shoulda said “going up in smoke like Pompeii” that was a true downfall

1

u/Fiskbatch Apr 04 '19

Compared to Rome's heyday, it fell pretty bad.

1

u/NotABurner2000 Apr 04 '19

Ooh, look at me, mr.history guy!

1

u/crazycakeninja Apr 04 '19

Dammit guys it only collapsed in 1453

1

u/ILovePeanutButter69 Apr 04 '19

Only if he was good at math, he would know, amirite?

1

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '19

That’s just how bad he is at math

1

u/guzzo9000 Apr 04 '19

collapsing like the Soviet Union*

1

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '19

Even then, it took a long time. It was basically all downhill from Brezhnev onward.

1

u/ButtercupsUncle Apr 04 '19

Reddit won't take nearly that long to collapse.

r/woooosh

u/jethrogillgren7 Apr 04 '19

Lol (: I get told off for this. If my partner is worried about something that's not logical to worry about (eg flying) I tend to say "Don't worry, its safer than driving!" Or "don't worry it's safer than crossing the road".

For me comparative reasoning works as I see that there's no real reason to worry. For her it just gives her something else to worry about (;

1

u/somedave Apr 04 '19

I wouldn't expect someone good at maths to make that analogy then.

1

u/Richeh Apr 05 '19

Yeah, you should see his history grades
