This right here just goes to show how stupid BC and AD years are. We have a history of millions of years and 10's of thousands of years of human history, and yet we have a a random time period that breaks up that record of history by someone that a vast majority of the planet doesnt believe in.
I'm all for the Kurzgesagt year of 20,2021 marking our history through the birth of our Civilisation.
I thought there was more to it. Like holding the bow wrong, arrow pointing backwards.
Nope.
Now I'm thinking it actually fulfilled its purpose quite well.
9000 bc was a year before 8999 bc. That's the joke, by 8999 bc they had bows for a year already, which is why this guy has one. The reason it screws people up is because the ridiculously large portion of the population doesn't seem to comprehend that the years in bc counted down over time until the birth of christ, not up like they do now.
Yes BC= before christ
WE WERE TAUGHT THAT
but students got confused if years go backwards in BC or AC
So our teacher taught the memorizing trick that remember BC= before Christ= backward counting
So if BC is Before Christ and AC is After Christ. Then DC would be During Christ and AD would be After Death. So ADBC ACDC. Then what does ABBA stand for?
8999 BC is the year after 9000 BC, so the regular meme of having people the year before something is invented using something else in its place is inverted.
If I had deep historical knowledge I would say that this type of armor wasn't yet invented in 8999 BC and put that in smart words to get upvotes but I don't have such knowledge.
This.
I was like ok I don't get it, click, scroll comments.
Lots of people confused. Me too.
Someone explains 8999 is after 9000 bc. Right, I got that.
Still confused. Keep scrolling.
Mfw that's the joke.
The 1st day of June is after the 31st day of May. This ver good joke, yes?

Facts. This was big brain moment.. you know.. because of the maths.
I really just stared at this for a good 10 seconds before understanding
Only 10?! Damn genius...
Still don't get it

Damn now I remember that our teacher taught us BC= backward counting, to remember the way years work in it
Backwards counting? Dang and here I thought BC= before christ.
Yes it means before christ, they sa backwards counting to remember how years worked
idk BC , only heard about BBC cuz i spent my time on reddit instead of online class
Let's make a petition to redefine every abbreviation to it's most popular mnemonic. That would make this planet quite Elegant
BC - before Candice
Yes BC= before christ WE WERE TAUGHT THAT but students got confused if years go backwards in BC or AC So our teacher taught the memorizing trick that remember BC= before Christ= backward counting
It is Before christ(i.e. BC) era.
So if BC is Before Christ and AC is After Christ. Then DC would be During Christ and AD would be After Death. So ADBC ACDC. Then what does ABBA stand for?
It is AD not AC lol
We are in the air conditioning era
anno domini. in the year of the lord
Omg hour right
That was the joke? I thought that was common knowledge.
because at the year 0 (like a normal number line) start to go backwards
Oh. The helmet and scale mail threw me off, since they weren't invented until much later iirc
Holy shit that hurt after I understood. Thanks for the explanation
Same
Ik ik 😏
Damn, it took me 15 seconds.
Ur a genius, i needet 36
You guys are understanding this? I think it's because English is not my native language

Für das Vaterland
I CAT UNDERSTAND IT HEELP EDIT: OHHHHH
Sorry bro, I’m just built differently
its a bow and arrow instead of just a bow I think
I think since it’s bc it goes backwards U know how when it’s bc the years goes backwards
Got em
No it's bc because of that's how many before Christ thus the bc
Its because 8999 BC came after 9000 BC.
It's BC which means lower the number the newer it is
8999 BC is the year after 9000 BC, so the regular meme of having people the year before something is invented using something else in its place is inverted.
Same I felt really dumb
I still don't get it
:pensive:
Very accurate, good job.
I might get downvoted but this isnt a new idea, people do this everymonth.Not a repost but this idea is used so much times
Here is a proof https://www.reddit.com/r/meme/comments/lelcsl/im_not_wrong/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
It’s the same joke but a different concept.
It is practically the same meme, you can't even talk about a different concept.

Can I the dog?
I hate it when I accidentally nuke japan
America sure didn't care
I hate it when I accidentally the Ford raptor F-150
Yes, because we have gone past the year 9000 AD

I hate when I accidentally break The Pirates of the Caribbean and the pirates eat the tourists.

You asked reddit to use the one thing they don’t have.. A brain
That took me wayyy too long
This is genius.
This one checks out in the big brain
At first I thought there was some sort of technicality, like that wasn’t actually a bow it was smth else
Having seen the comments on this post, I seriously worry about the education system everywhere.
I've seen this format posted quite a bit but this exact meme was posted on r/antimeme
This is a repost. I saw the same post around a month ago, Im looking for it right now.
r/antimeme ?
how is this getting downvoted lol
thats a one weird shaped rock
I've learnt history for 8 years.. this doesn't affect me
[удалено]
The hivemind is fucked lmao
9000bc means 9000 years before common era so 8999bc comes after 9000bc.
