The Blind Leading The Slightly More Blind

The scientific community patiently waiting for Lamine Yamal to publish his groundbreaking paper on "Defying Newtonian Mechanics Through Soccer Trivelas." Meanwhile, physicists worldwide are scrambling to update textbooks as this teenager casually violates conservation of angular momentum with his foot. Peer reviewers are reportedly still trying to replicate his methodology using standard lab equipment and failing miserably. Grant funding has already been redirected.

Elementary school: *furiously scribbles complex equations with pencil and paper* High school: "5×2? Better whip out my scientific calculator with 97 functions to make sure it's not 11!" The great mathematical devolution! Our brains apparently peak at age 10 and then we develop a crippling dependency on battery-powered math machines. Next up: college students using supercomputers to calculate the tip at restaurants!

The eternal math debate unfolds! Victor claims x=|√49| requires absolute value because the answer is ±7, while wiesdit2 insists it's unnecessary. Plot twist: √49 equals exactly 7 (not ±7) since the square root function returns the principal (positive) value. The absolute value symbols are indeed redundant here! This is the mathematical equivalent of bringing a flamethrower to light a birthday candle. Mathematicians everywhere are either nodding vigorously or throwing chalk at their screens.

Dating your daughter? Better know your math memes! The list is pure math nerd gold—engineers using π = 3, the derivative of e x , and that sneaky 0 0 at the end. But the punchline hits harder than a calculus final on Monday morning. Math humor gatekeeping at its finest! The reference to r/unexpectedfactorial is especially brilliant—where innocent numbers like 5! suddenly become 120. The kind of joke that separates the math majors from the "I use calculators for 7×8" crowd.

Poor Greeks! They invented this beautiful alphabet only to get the tiniest sliver of the pie chart for actually using it! Meanwhile, mathematicians are over here like "Ooh, look at me, I need π, θ, and Σ for my fancy equations" and physicists are hoarding α, β, γ, and Ω like they're collecting infinity stones! The irony is DELICIOUS—actual Greek people barely get credit for their own alphabet while science nerds have basically turned it into their secret code. Next thing you know, we'll discover the ancient Greeks were actually solving differential equations just to order souvlaki! 🤓

Chemistry textbooks are sneaky! The equation shows sodium ethanoate + magnesium hydroxide, but someone underlined "Ma" in MaOH instead of the actual element Mg. So technically, they've "discovered" element 119 - "Maium" - by pure typographical error! The periodic table stops at 118 (Oganesson), making this accidental "Ma" element the frontier of fictional chemistry. Next Nobel Prize: spotting typos in textbooks!
