🚨BREAKING NEWS: Ancient Incas Were the Original Spreadsheets📊😱 So, like, you thought Excel was a big deal? Nah fam, the ancient Incas were out here flexin’ with their *knotted cords* called khipu. 💪💥 Think of it as an abacus but with more rustic vibes and fewer “please don’t eat the paperclips” incidents. 🤡 These khipu were basically Inca Google Sheets. They tracked EVERYTHING: taxes, people, livestock, and even… wait for it… beer! 🍺🍻 Who needs a finance degree when you’ve got a bunch of knots telling you where your llama’s at? I’m not saying we should ditch Zoom for knot-tying classes, but I’m also not NOT saying that! 🤓💁‍♂️ "Bro, I just lifted a spreadsheet above my head and called it KHIPU," said totally made-up Inca developer Carlos Knotsovich. "Excel is so 2021, this is the real stonks! 📈🔥" But colonial writers? They saw these nifty tools and were like, "Nah, only the elite can understand this ancient knot magic." 🧙‍♂️ Classic cringe. 🙄 🔥🔥HOT TAKE: I'm predicting that by 2040 we'll all be using ancient Incan knot technology to run our dating apps. Who wouldn’t swipe right on a six-knot llama tax evasion scheme? 🤯🚀💥 #KnotYourAverageTech
