Oxford University is older than the Aztec empire.
Oxford University founded in 1326, Aztec empire ~1428-1521
Don’t mean to pick, but Oxford was founded in 1096 and Cambridge in 1209.
I worked for cambridge in 2009 and got a nice little 800 year badge
That edit is the saddest part about this
I felt like I was transported back to mid-2000s internet when I read that. Le epic troll.
Why are you so rude?
2009-1209=800 Big oof there
You really need to be nicer to people here or you will probably get banned by someone sooner or later. People are trying to get away from the reddit atmosphere here. Don't act all superior because you spotted a mistake. That's really childish.
Dude, delete it and try to forget, nobody is buying your excuse. You called someone dumb for making a mistake, despite it being you who made the error while OP was bang right.
It's very embarrassing mate, you can try to style it out all you want and a couple 10 yr olds might buy it but not much more than that.
Personally I think you'd do best deleting the comment and trying to forget that you were just that stupid once upon a time :) x
Doesn’t that strike you as a sort of self-gaslighting?
Yeah but self gaslighting isn't so bad. Learn from your mistakes sure, but try to forget the things that make you cringe as you fall asleep.
You got epic trolled my dude!
Much delirium, such humourz.
I'm guessing that about fits with your level :) x
u mad?
Apoplectic mate.
That, or just amused at your steadfast position that you actually intended the primary school level mistake :) x
Y u mad though?
I probably shouldn't have given you 2 options and expected you to understand the sarcasm in the first. I blame myself...
Good luck though mate, I have a sneaking suspicion you'll need some :) x
But y u mad?
You're really embodying the saying "Never play chess with a pigeon."
Fucking idiot. Can't do math but quick to jump on the chance to try to correct someone.
Who's dumbass now?
You
I got it man. Some people just don’t get how the making of a super obvious mistake is a satire of the kind of confidence you’re putting forward.
It’s weird because it’s like they can’t recognize when an error is so egregious it couldn’t be a genuine error.
unfunny sthu
