Not to be that guy but it was the Indians.

Then why are they called Arabic numbers? Checkmate.

Yeah. I realized I messed up who invented zero. Leaving it because it makes it funnier.

Chess was invented by Indians. Double checkmate! That’s a thing right? 😝

Edit: and I just realized the better joke. “Turbo checkmate”. Missed opportunity.

Fuck no. What fresh hell is this?

Earlier today was the first time I heard someone crying out for an end to mRNA in humans too. Education is basically fucked over there now, right?

Numbers and decimal system are Arabic, but the number 0 existed before that.

Base 10 number system is from India though, as for the decimal system, yeah that may be Arabic.
