Hi, I’m Leon. I’ve more than 30 years of experience reading and that says salsa.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 65 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Back in the day we would call this a humblebrag, which was the style at the time.

RIP Harris Wittels

I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was.

Yeah and there are 4 lights.

Who creates a test with 59 points?

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

it's probably just the number of questions that fitted on the page or similar

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

I'd give that test a perfect 5/7.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

That most definitely says Salsa. It was only after reading the text above that my brain could even recognize the 59/59.

Bro's not dumb. His teacher has shit handwriting.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 14 points 3 days ago

To be fair to the kid, their teacher's handwriting has clearly gone to shit after grading papers for 25 years while barely paying their rent.

[–] FedX@quokk.au 18 points 3 days ago

Nah, I saw salsa at first too.

Once got a test back with 42 written at the top, spent a while freaking out about how I possibly could have failed so badly. Turned out I'd forgotten to write my name on it, and my teacher had written it in for me... My name is Liz. Served me well during my H2G2 phase.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - 2 Hs, 2 Gs. The best acronyms are the ones that take several extra steps to explain.

[–] CombatWombat@feddit.online 8 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Shouldn't it be H3G2? Hitchhiker has 3 Hs, not 2.

If your ":/" is an actual unhappiness, I'm sorry; I meant this to be bone dry humor and not criticism.

[–] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

More likely sadness that Douglas Adams is dead. That causes me actual unhappiness.

[–] alanjaow@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I learned a few good lessons from him. Most apropo one nowadays is "The man who least wants to lead is the only one fit to do so."

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

(Hitch) + (Hiker) + (Guide) + (Galaxy) = H2G2

What kind of sociopath would include the "h" at the end of Hitch in that acronym? That's some real honest-to-god serial killer prediction behaviour right there, sir.

Ater is not beating the AI allegations

[–] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Why take a shortcut when you can go the long way around?

I got a paper back one time in middle school where I briefly thought my french teacher had called me a retard but apparently I'd submitted something late.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 2 days ago

Grade: Salsa. Because your paper was spicy.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 11 points 3 days ago

Part of the reason my handwriting is so bad is because I couldn't accept criticism from teachers when they all wrote like this.

Look at the smart fucker with his salsa.

Ive struggled for years and never got a salsa on my tests.

[–] oats@piefed.zip 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Teacher needs to either take a handwriting course or become a doctor

Or go COMPLETELY berserk and earn a doctorate in handwriting, somehow.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

My fourth grade teacher would openly announce grades when handing out test and he liked to scary the students. He would loudly announce someone failed if they got a high grade before they could see the test itself.

[–] zedgeist@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Your fourth-grade teacher sounds like a dick.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I remember everyone liking him.

[–] alanjaow@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah, that sounds all in good fun. I bet he'd say it with a sly smile.

[–] Pieisawesome@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That’s illegal nowadays. Teachers have to protect wtudents privacy. FERPA is the relevant law

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Only in the US
