Hmm, interesting that this is going to be a worldwide event that is going to affect every Lemmy user no matter from which country they are...

... you dropped this /s right?

Edit: y'all, the article makes zero mention of this test outside the US

Not sure. I'm somewhere lost in Eastern Europe and i've been hearing about this supposed test all day.

No shit? Per the article posted, it's supposed to be a US national test, hadn't heard about it in other countries.

Maybe that's because you've been reading articles from a newspaper called "USA Today"
