This paper looks mimeographed.

This comment sent me to wikipedia. Very interesting!

And no link for the rest of us smh my head

Edit: Mimeographed

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Mimeographs, along with spirit duplicators and hectographs, were common technologies for printing small quantities of a document, as in office work, classroom materials, and church bulletins. For even smaller quantities, up to about five, a typist would use carbon paper.

Comparatively,

we’re so spoiled!

They called them spirit duplicators because they used alcohol :o

The ink was purple and smelled weird. You could always tell when the teacher had run off the copies (we sometimes called them dittos) right before class.

Meet the HEART of Mimeograph!

Attention, Mr. Teacher, your dittos are in your faculty mailbox.

One thing that's missing is the "chad" licking a plague rat.

That is because we live in a society.

"engaging political debate on twitter"... I think the last engaging political debate on twitter was maybe 10 years ago. Now it's just a cesspool of hate and misogyny, not to mention the retarded rebrand from its equally retarded owner.

I'm so glad I went to school before internet memes were a thing.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago

Now our pre internet memes are on the internet

This appears to have originated at ifunny.co. So, not likely to be a real classroom exercise.

I need more context as to what this is for. Is this what we're teaching children?

[–] Astronauticaldb@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At the top it says "Online political debate worksheet", so I assume a high school or college level class.

[–] DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

Or, or, and this might be a stretch, it's satire.

Soyjak: Pizza toppings are gross! I just eat the materials raw!

Chad: Eat what you want, how you want.

Edit: I just realized, this isn't political enough for some people (non-Italians). Imagine Pizza is a metaphor for cannibalism. There, it's now political.
