One of the most stereotypical comments Arabs often encounter is revolved around the idea that the Arab world is not "as advanced" as the rest of the world.
Though the majority of Arab countries are still considered developing countries, there are times Arabs truly proved to be way ahead of their time.
Don't believe us? Here are 12 times Arabs proved they're ready to live in 3018.
1. When this guy performed a literal "maqlouba" presentation
Because in 3018 ... PowerPoint Presentations will no longer be the way to go about demonstrations.
Rather, Human Presentations will take over, and this guy has already started practicing.
2. When this truck driver proved to be "so advanced that even Nike carries petrol/water"
3. When this guy made a "lahme" bouquet because he gets what women really want
Flowers are so overrated ... and men just don't seem to understand that. Luckily, there is one man who does!
The "lahme song" is not just a tune that went viral a few years back. There's a special place in every Arab person's heart for "lahme."
Here's to hoping the rest of the male population will catch up to this guy before 3030.
4. When someone created a shebsheb/stick hybrid
This shebsheb stick will be 3018's "selfie stick" ... for Arab mothers.
5. When a university in Lebanon acknowledged the importance of sleep on its own
We sure do hope the world catches up to AUB by 3018 ... because we've been anticipating appreciation and respect for sleep for decades.
Thank you AUB.
6. When this Saudi woman proved to beat the flood ... by surfing it
No matter the weather, this Saudi woman will find a way to make the most of it.
7. When someone thoughtfully photoshopped a "shahata" into a video game
It's about time! There's no doubt this person will actually make the addition available in video games by 3018.
8. Lady Madonna can survive any century really ...
Need we say more?
9. When someone made a "chicken stuffed with wara2 3enab"
Because "foodception" is 3018's Inception.
10. When this guy proved he gives zero fu*ks when it's 0 degrees outside
So, his body is really ready to conquer extreme weather conditions ... all on its own.
11. When this Arab mom proved she fears nothing ... which means she could definitely survive a Zombie apocalypse
12. When the 3018 version of "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs" is ready
Welcoming 3018 with open arms.
