I Can't Believe It's Not Calculus

The evolution of physics students is a beautiful disaster. In intro courses, you're crying over a 0.001 decimal point error like it's the end of the world. Fast forward to grad school, and you're casually handwaving order-of-magnitude errors with "eh, close enough." The symbol "\Propto" (proportional to) becomes your new religion—because who needs exact values when you can just say everything is proportional to everything else? By year 5 of your PhD, you're drawing squiggly lines on napkins and calling them "approximate solutions." Welcome to physics, where precision is inversely proportional to your education level.

Every math teacher's nightmare right here! This "square" with its 91° and 89° angles is the geometric equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. The creator literally had to commit a mathematical crime against humanity with those angles adding up to 360° but breaking the sacred rule of perfect right angles. It's like deliberately putting pineapple on pizza just to watch mathematicians twitch uncontrollably. The caption "I HAD TO DO IT" perfectly captures that chaotic energy of someone who knows exactly what mathematical sin they're committing!

When COVID hit, physicists were like "hold my beer" while other scientists ran for cover. Classic Patrick Star energy—marching up to the pandemic fortress shouting mathematical incantations like "First-order Taylor expansion" as if differential equations could scare away a virus. The sheer audacity of physicists thinking they can model a biological catastrophe with the same tools they use for falling apples and spinning tops. Meanwhile, biologists and epidemiologists are in the corner whispering "that's not how this works... that's not how any of this works." But hey, when your only tool is a Hamiltonian, everything looks like a quantum problem—even a pandemic. Truly the academic equivalent of trying to open a biological door with a physics key!

Nothing like a cosmic villain with flawed mathematical reasoning to make scientists cringe. If snapping once eliminates half the universe, snapping twice would leave 25% remaining, not 0%. The first snap cuts the population to 50%, then the second snap takes half of that , leaving us with a quarter of the original population. Thanos clearly skipped Statistics 101 while pursuing his genocidal hobby. Even intergalactic tyrants should understand that recursive halving approaches zero but never reaches it—it's an asymptotic function, not complete annihilation. This is why we need better STEM education across the multiverse.

Starting with the elegant definition of e as a limit, we quickly devolve into mathematical chaos. When infinity gets involved, suddenly e equals (1+1/∞)^∞, which simplifies to 1^∞, which any sleep-deprived mathematician will tell you equals 1. Euler is currently spinning in his grave fast enough to power a small city. This is what happens when you do math at 3 AM after your fifth espresso. Next breakthrough: π = "approximately 3" for engineering purposes!

The Google logo masquerading as the Greek letter Sigma (Σ) is what happens when big tech tries to slide into your mathematical notation. It's the perfect symbol for summation—adding up all your data for their algorithms. Next time you use Σ in statistics, remember Google's already calculated the sum of your search history. The original "collecting data points" before it was trendy!
