The Surveillance State Meets Scientific Computing

The greatest scientific heist of the 20th century! Franklin's X-ray crystallography images of DNA (Photo 51) were secretly shown to Watson and Crick without her knowledge, helping them beat her to publishing the double helix structure. The Soviet Bugs Bunny perfectly captures how Watson and Crick swooped in with their "OUR research" communist meme energy while Franklin, who did the critical experimental work, got historically sidelined. Textbook definition of academic theft wrapped in a Cold War joke. The Nobel Prize committee then twisted the knife by not awarding her posthumously because... *checks notes*... dead people can't win Nobels. Scientific karma eventually prevailed though—Franklin is now recognized as the unsung hero who actually made the discovery possible.

The most rebellious mathematical proof ever! Instead of using fancy theorems or complex equations, this mathematician just declares "This is lame" as a legitimate contradiction! 😂 It's like saying "I don't like this universe where 0 isn't a natural number, so I'm creating a new one!" Pure mathematical anarchy! The best part? Ending with "Q.E.D." (which means "thus it has been demonstrated") as if they just proved Fermat's Last Theorem instead of basically saying "math without zero is boring, therefore I win."

Calculus students everywhere just felt a disturbance in the force! Imagine showing up to your limit problem armed with L'Hôpital's rule—your trusty mathematical weapon for those pesky 0/0 indeterminate forms—only to find it's been "banned." The mathematical equivalent of finding out they've outlawed calculators during finals week! For the uninitiated, L'Hôpital's rule is that magical calculus technique that saves you when both numerator and denominator approach zero. Without it, you're stuck doing Taylor series expansions like some kind of animal. The horror! Next thing you know, they'll ban the quadratic formula and we'll all have to complete the square by hand. Dark times for mathematics indeed.

The journey of stock photo math is pure comedy gold! First panel: Excited about complex equations covering an entire blackboard. Second panel: Confident smile at the algebraic identity (a-b)(a-b)=a²-b². Third panel: Complete emotional breakdown when confronted with 3×9=37. Nothing captures the essence of math trauma better than watching someone go from "I understand quantum mechanics" to "basic multiplication has destroyed me." The stock photo industry clearly hired mathematicians with the same energy as those who put 2+2=5 in movies!

The eternal meta-struggle of the STEM spouse relationship. One partner desperately tries to explain why partial differential equations are hilarious in that new engineering meme, while their significant other maintains the blank stare of someone who'd rather watch paint dry. The calculus jokes that keep you up at night laughing are apparently not universal currency in relationships. Who knew that explaining why the integral of e^x is still e^x would be met with such indifference? Relationships: where your brilliant mathematical humor goes to die.

The mathematical rebellion we never knew we needed! Some mad genius is raging against the approximation machine, declaring war on the heresy of π ≈ 3.14 ≈ e ≈ 22/7 ≈ g. Engineers everywhere are sweating nervously as their beloved "close enough" approach gets absolutely demolished by the precision police. The "engineering identity" is exposed as mathematical blasphemy while REAL MATHEMATICIANS silently judge from their ivory towers of infinite decimal places. The conspiracy runs deeper than we thought! Big Calculator has been lying to us all along!
