We do the 'gets to the moon' type.

How many times have you been to the moon, OP?

I see you fell for the space exists meme

How many steam engines, telephones and televisions have you both invented?

You know, useful stuff. Not artificially creating a finish line like the moon when the Ruskies had beaten you at everything else without the use of German scientists.

Explain the moon then faggot

Math is useless unless it helps you make money at work.
I cant do algebra but it doesnt matter because math is useless for 99% of people. I cheated in every math class I have ever taken.

>steam engine

lol wut

>Ignoring flight
>Ignoring mobile phones
>Ignoring GPS
>Ignoring the internet

Metric and imperial. Canadians also do maths so that Americans can do their one math which is retarded and wrong but they're the rich kid who buys all our crap so we have to cater to their special needs.

Also
>claiming television as a British invention

Last time I checked none of those lead to the industrial revolution which changed the very foundation of Western civilisation.

Anyway, the Brazilians invented flight and we commercialised the internet.

Are you black?

Looks pretty cut and dry to me.

The 1st Steam Engine was made by Edward Somerset and Thomas Savery in 1698 in England
(It didnt have a piston though)

That's because you're a simpleton

And I care about steam engines why?

>Now you listen here Faggot

> Can't read a simple article.

I think you're the only simpleton... or do you mean you're changing the goal posts again like always and using mental gymnastics to make it look like you invented it?

I mean, I guess you were the cunts that ruined it with honey boo boo goes to college or whatever you bamboozle your brains with over there.

Idk you posted
>lol wut
So i took it you thought someone else did

> Why should I care about the steam engine?

Holy fuck...

You know, trains... industrialisation, urbanisation and capitalisation.

Nope, just hate math. Seriously unless you use math for your job who needs it? I read somewhere that after people hit their 30's less than 10% of Americans can do algebra anymore because no one needs it

>Canadians also do maths
no

>Last time I checked none of those lead to the industrial revolution which changed the very foundation of Western civilisation.
"This one change that exists on a giant chain of uncountable changes is the only one that matters"
alright. also, British didn't invent the steam engine, Hero of Alexandria did
> Brazilians invented flight
so buttblasted you make up bullshit so blatant there's not even a response beside "didn't happen"?

>burger education

Because doing it once the first time gets you to the moon. Doing it over and over again gets London Bridge attacks.

Keep me posted on when you land on the moon yo....

Shut up Achmed. The UK hasn't invented ANYTHING since 1812. Enjoy your bridges.

Wrong, the aeolipile had no practical use. It was a toy. You may as well say the first person to make a paper aeroplane invented flight.

I'll also add that we invented the first computer.

In Australia we say "math" not "maths" the latter sounds uneducated

> (It didnt have a piston though)

So the first "Steam Engine" used on trains and boats came from the US. Got it.

> First demonstrated in 1927.

So a year after Logie's in 1926?

Mate that's a glorified projector... we're talking electric television, we've had lamp projectors since the 1800's.

>doesn't even know what a steam engine is
American intellectual

Wrong... invented in 1712 by Thomas Newcomen with a piston before the USA was even a nation.

>aeolipile had no practical use
it was still invented. Stop saying random shit in place of an argument
> first person to make a paper aeroplane invented flight
no, a paper airplane glides. it does not fly.
>I'll also add that we invented the first computer.
completely arbitrary distinction, Germans made the first programmable computer and Americans the first digital computer. Colossus was just one step

also, Americans invented pic related

no we fucking dont

Please shut up. Your making us look stupid.

This is now a name your countries most important inventions/discoveries thread
1. Electricity
2. The internet
3. Nuclear bomb

No we don't crypto seppo. Mathematics is the full word, to preserve the correct grammatical structure of a plural within a sentence the shortening is also a plural. Maths.

not gonna mention the airplane?

> Electricity...

Sorry burger but that was Michael Faraday who invented the electric motor.

Franklin only discovered a connection between lightning and electricity.

>also, Americans invented pic related
Well, Americans and a bunch of mostly Jewish refugees.

And us... you took operation tube alloy in exchange for lend lease.

WE WUZ

post more of that book

>important inventions/discoveries thread
>discoveries

> These fucking mental gymnastics.

M8 you've contradicted yourself twice in one post.

Both played an important role but I think we can agree that harnessing the power is more important than discovering a natural phenomenon.

The electricity we have in our homes comes from Faraday.

So long as we don't credit a Serb.

The Germans and Jews do the gets to the moon type.

the actual number is zero, perhaps you would know that if a single math were taught in Bongistan

Would this be accurate for the U.K.?
1. Steam engine
2. Electric motor
3. Computer
4. HTML

Why do british do Maths but not Englishs

Math and maths are both short for mathematics. English doesn't get shortened

The most important invention from the UK was the loom It freed millions from mundane labor and provided the impetus for the Industiral revolution.

its a shortening of "The English Languages" (Native English, Scottish English, American, Australian, etc)

Because "maths" is short for "mathematics"

You don't call it "mathematic"

why would you still keep the last letter?

Because it's still pluralized

Yeah good as anything.

I would stick the theory of evolution in there as well.

Charles Babbage invented the first programmable computer.

funny way to spell Conrad Zuse

I agree that math is overrated, but you should really at least know algebra.

I would also like to note that I always did quite well in math, though my arithmetic is out of practice.

Pic unrelated

Fucking hell, Charles Babbage invented it in 1820, 80 years before Zuse was even born.
