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 🤔
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
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.

Two is the only even prime number, which makes it the oddest prime of them all.

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

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.
Jumi@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y
It's SS, please don't disregard capital letters just because you use English.

it's an outdated implementation then.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

Hold down on s to bring up ß (on mobile, at least)

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

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