The Self-Citation Medal Ceremony

The laziest mathematical proof in history! 😂 Instead of doing all the hard work to prove π is irrational, this mathematician just says "well, someone already proved it in 1761, so... we're done here!" It's like citing your smart friend's homework as your entire solution! Every math student's dream proof technique - "Because someone smart said so." If only my calculus professor would accept "Lambert proved it, case closed" as a valid answer on exams!

That moment when you derive a completely valid solution using an alternative approach and your professor's soul leaves their body. The duality of math education: "show your work" but also "not like that." I've seen PhD candidates cry after being told their elegant proof was "technically correct but not what I was looking for." Mathematical heresy is apparently punishable by death glares.

The original meme plays on the tired "boys vs girls" trope, but someone brilliantly "fixed it" by calling out its inherent misogyny. The bottom panel transforms the format into a meta-commentary on gendered memes themselves, suggesting that what some call "analytic continuation" is really just "domain expansion" of stereotypes. It's essentially scientific terminology being used to critique lazy humor! The historical figure (likely a mathematician or physicist) adds that perfect touch of academic authority saying "Sure thing, but why?" - basically peer-reviewing the meme's premise and finding it severely lacking. Scientific rigor applied to internet culture at its finest!

That middle schooler who dismissed color theory is now crying through graduate physics! Turns out those RGB color wheels weren't just "useless crap" but the foundation for understanding optical physics, wave properties, and spectral analysis. Now they're drowning in Maxwell's equations and realizing that dismissing fundamentals means suffering through quantum optics with twice the pain. The universe's perfect revenge served cold with a side of tears.

The eternal struggle of engineering students vs. dimensionless numbers! That Heat Transfer professor has introduced the Reynolds, Nusselt, Prandtl, Grashof, and now—BAM—here comes another one! These pesky ratios with no units are the bane of thermal analysis. Students frantically scribbling Pi groups while the professor casually drops another Biot number like it's nothing. The mental breakdown is imminent! Next person who says "just use the Buckingham Pi theorem" might find themselves in a strongly exothermic reaction with my patience!

The mathematical descent into madness! It starts with a simple derivative (9x²) that even has the blue emoji grinning with confidence. Then you're asked to prove that answer, and the smile gets a bit nervous. By the third level, you're facing mathematical purgatory with a demonic emoji ready to devour your GPA. And finally—that skeleton waiting at the bottom? That's just what remains of the last student who attempted to "prove the proof of the proof." The smiley face at the end of the last instruction is the professor's sadistic way of saying "good luck, you'll need it!" This is basically calculus professors turning "find the derivative" into "explain why existence itself is differentiable."
