Mimeographs, along with spirit duplicators and hectographs, were common technologies for printing small quantities of a document, as in office work, classroom materials, and church bulletins. For even smaller quantities, up to about five, a typist would use carbon paper.
Comparatively,
we’re so spoiled!
They called them spirit duplicators because they used alcohol :o
The ink was purple and smelled weird. You could always tell when the teacher had run off the copies (we sometimes called them dittos) right before class.
"engaging political debate on twitter"...
I think the last engaging political debate on twitter was maybe 10 years ago. Now it's just a cesspool of hate and misogyny, not to mention the retarded rebrand from its equally retarded owner.
Soyjak: Pizza toppings are gross! I just eat the materials raw!
Chad: Eat what you want, how you want.
Edit: I just realized, this isn't political enough for some people (non-Italians). Imagine Pizza is a metaphor for cannibalism. There, it's now political.

This appears to have originated at ifunny.co. So, not likely to be a real classroom exercise.

I need more context as to what this is for. Is this what we're teaching children?

At the top it says "Online political debate worksheet", so I assume a high school or college level class.

Or, or, and this might be a stretch, it's satire.
