adding two-digit numbers

snape
(noun) The ancient art of combining two numerical beasts to create a mathematical monster. Often accompanied by confused looks, sweaty brows, and mild panic attacks. The process involves strategically placing numbers side by side and hoping for the best.

Lets say 47 + 69

Adding two-digit numbers is like having a race between a tortoise and a hare. The tortoise represents the tens place (4 in 47), and the hare represents the ones place (7 in 47).

First, the hare quickly hops over to the hare from the other number, which is 6. Now the hare is at 13, but it gets tired and goes back to the starting line. Meanwhile, the tortoise steadily crawls over to the other tortoise, which is 6. Now the tortoise is at 10.

At this point, the tortoise looks over and sees the hare at 13. The tortoise realizes it needs to catch up. So, it takes one more step, reaching 11, and then another step, reaching 12, and finally one more step, reaching 13.

Now, both the tortoise and the hare are at 13! They crossed the finish line together, and that's the answer to 47 + 69. The total is 116.

Just like the tortoise and the hare, each digit takes its own path to meet up, and when they finally do, you get the sum of the two numbers!

ancient egypt

trustycoffeemug
where to begin? egyptian history spans over 5000 years. egypt was ancient long before the single day on which rome was built.

to be as brief as is feasible, the upper and lower portions of egypt first became unified sometime between 3200 and 3000 BC, possibly by somebody named Narmer or Menes, who thus became the founder of the first dynasty of pharaohs. narmer's dynasty dicks around for a bit, leave behind a few prototype tombs in the village of saqqara, and is replaced by a second dynasty. that dynasty does more dicking around and is replaced again. this more or less sets the tone for the rest of egyptian history.

old kingdom egypt (3rd-6th dynasties); the big pointy pyramids you're thinking of come from the fourth dynasty
* an intermediate period (7th-11th dynasties)
middle kingdom egypt (11th-13th dynasties); the book of the dead, that famous egyptian book you've heard of, only shows up in rough draft form around this period
* another intermediate period (13th-17th dynasties)
new kingdom egypt (18th-20th dynasties); tutankhamun, the one pharaoh everyone has heard of, was the second-to-last pharaoh of the 18th dynasty
* sure, why not another intermediate period (21st-25th dynasties), followed by some twilight years (the late period extending to the 31st dynasty), during which egypt got conquered by persians


By this point it's already the 330s BC, and greece (led by alexander the great) took over egypt and left it in control of some doofus named ptolemy. not too long after that, it was conquered again by the romans, by which time we've only just arrived at caesar boinking cleopatra.

the first day in teaching

mama gump
(noun phrase) A whirlwind of nerves, anticipation, and boundless enthusiasm as a teacher steps into the classroom for the very first time. It's a symphony of introductions, establishing authority, and setting the stage for a year of growth. Excitement mingles with jitters as the teacher navigates a delicate balance of creating a welcoming environment, building connections with students, and conveying a passion for learning. It's a pivotal moment, a blank canvas waiting to be filled with knowledge, inspiration, and the joy of discovery.

the devils dictionary
n. A famous piece of antique sculpture representing a priest of that name and his two sons in the folds of two enormous serpents.

coofl

nonamecoofl
Once upon a time, in the vast and interconnected world of Discord, there lived a deranged user named Coofl. Coofl was known to possess an erratic and troublesome nature, causing chaos and confusion wherever they went.
Coofl's presence in various Discord servers would often ignite heated debates and stir up controversy. They seemed to derive pleasure from provoking others and exploiting vulnerabilities within online communities. The username "Coofl" became synonymous with trouble and unpredictability.
One fateful day, Coofl stumbled upon a peaceful server dedicated to gardening and tranquility. The server was a safe haven for nature enthusiasts and gardeners to share tips, beautiful pictures, and connect with like-minded individuals.
As soon as Coofl joined the server, chaos ensued. They began flooding the channels with disruptive messages, spamming memes and inappropriate content. Coofl had no regard for the peaceful atmosphere that the server cherished. The members were taken aback by the sudden disruption, their once harmonious space now tainted by Coofl's reckless behavior.
The moderators and administrators swiftly took action, attempting to contain Coofl's disruptive antics. They warned, muted, and even banned Coofl from the server. But Coofl seemed relentless, finding new ways to bypass the restrictions and continue their disruptive behavior.
The server members, frustrated and exhausted, decided to unite against Coofl. They brainstormed strategies, developed stronger moderation systems, and established stricter guidelines. Together, they created a safe and resilient community, immune to Coofl's destructive actions.
Coofl, underestimated the resilience of the server's members, was astonished by their unity and determination. In their quest for chaos, they inadvertently sparked a stronger community driven by the shared love for gardening and tranquility.
Realizing their futile attempts to disrupt the server, Coofl finally decided to change their ways. They sought guidance from the server's moderators, sincerely expressing remorse for their past actions. The community, cautious yet open-minded, decided to give Coofl a second chance.
Coofl gradually transformed from a deranged user to a valued member of the gardening community. They embraced the server's principles, actively engaging in discussions, and sharing their own gardening experiences. Coofl even took the initiative to assist others, providing helpful advice and support to fellow members.
Over time, Coofl's erratic behavior faded, replaced by a newfound sincerity and respect for others. Their journey from being a disruptor to an integral part of the community inspired others to choose empathy and understanding over condemnation.
The story of Coofl stands as a reminder of the transformative power of communities, their ability to heal, and their capacity to empower individuals to change their ways. Discord, once shaken by chaos, became a platform where people connected, learned, and grew together, with Coofl as a shining example of redemption and personal growth.
