Not sure whether you meant to express disbelief or just to be silly, but you did make me wonder if this meme was legit or not. It is!
Yes, but also:
So no crying historians in that story. She researched, proposed an article and the community said: "Good idea!" The whole "Oh, all those fine scientists laughed about the average joe/jane!" is just a common tale in those stories.
It's a common conservative thing to own the libs.
Also wasn't so fast:
Wow, that's some serious anthropology, that's awesome!
Thanks to you and @Ophioparma@feddit.de both for pointing those things out. I was only checking the part about the hairstyle being made through sewing, and didn't think to check for dramatization, so I may have retold or personally internalized the story that goes with the sewing fact exactly as told in the meme. Or onlookers might have.
If “acus” means that, then i wonder, how does “abacus” mean a thing you count with? Etymology is fascinating :)
It looks like abacus is of uncertain origin and likely doesn't share the same root as acus. Finding unexpected histories of words is the fun part of etymology though. Like how donkey ass and butt ass have completely different origins
Definitely just being silly. Thank you do much for the link. I just disliked how dramatized the meme version sounded and doubled down on it.
