Because Hebrew is read from right to left.

On the other hand, the Little-Endians have their view, which is different but also self-consistent.
They believe that one should start with the narrow end of every word, and that low addresses are of lower order than high addresses. Therefore they put their words on paper as if they were written in Hebrew, like this:
...|---word2---|---word1---|---word0---|

Why are AMD CPUs also little endian? OH I DON'T KNOW

Fuck off.

Also, ARM use big endian and their jews too.

Optionally, but no-one runs them that way. Motorola/Freescale and IBM are the true red-blooded shit-kicking big endianers.

SPARC is big-endian too, but Larry Ellison is a goddamn mega-Jew.

The new Safari browser cookie format contains both little and big endian. Does this mean the software is a confused jew?

Lol, dude, are you aware that it's you who writes numbers right-to-left because they were invented by semites?

Intel on the other hand uses Aryan left-to-right notation. Also, see >>4.

This is the only instance of the "JEWS" meme that has ever made me Laugh Out Loud.

To the rest of you, with your mindless repetition of meaningless utterances in an attempt to "fit in": For shame.

Intel on the other hand uses Aryan
Because we say our numbers like "ten three hundred and one million" and the Romans wrote their numbers like "IXXLMCM", amirite?

Little Endian is superior.

Big Endian is backwards.

Four little five little six little endians
Seven little eight little nine little endians
Ten little endians JEWS

Endianness is a pointless relic anyway.

Yeah, proper architectures access the memory by word-size quantities.

No, proper architectures store numbers in ASCII.
Which is big-endian.

Physicists however require that the end result be physically meaningful. In quantum field theory infinities arise which need to be interpreted in such a way as to lead to a physically meaningful result, a process called renormalization.
