If you can't type an umlaut it's spelt fuenf

I was flabbergasted when I found out you can spell German B (can't type it without installing additional keyboard) as just "SS". My teacher didn't like that. I wonder why 🤔

In Switzerland (where German is used as language), the ß is not used, so everything is "ss".

Last time we used ss people didn't like it.

It's SS, please don't disregard capital letters just because you use English.

Fun fact: 'ß'.toUpperCase() is 'SS'

it's an outdated implementation then. As of the 29th of june 2017, the correct output should be ‘ẞ’

I'm guessing the original post was prime numbers and this was just slapped together.

it's interaction bait and I fell for it 😁

I'm worried about the 1265 people who liked that comment more than the one person who made it.

You only need something in common for the 6 first odd numbers and "teen" for it to be true for all odd numbers.

I don't get it... why did they say"two"?

The joke is that they thought they found an exception to this observation, and while they're right that two does not have an e in it, they're wrong in thinking it's an odd number

Perhaps this will enlighten you:

And in case you don't feel like watching that: It's a meme harkening back to the stupidity displayed on a well known tumblr post, one of the many displays of which was somebody insisting 2 was odd.

Also see this Ace Attorney version, which is hilarious and the first place I'd heard of it:

Because replies correcting your obvious mistake drive engagement.

It's not correct in Swedish because of Sju (7) and Nio (9)

It applies even less in Turkish thanks to bir (1), üç (3) and dokuz (9)

Does π count as a number? I mean there's no e in pi.

It's also not odd, so that doesn't work. But to answer your question, it is a number yes.

tree point one four one five

I don't see your point

The forty-first number doesn't, nor does the fourtythird, or the thirtyfifth. I'm sure there are a ton more
