The classic mathematician move: casually proposing a theoretical problem that would be absolutely catastrophic in real life! This meme shows the horrifying reality of what happens when a mathematician suggests "Let's traverse a minefield with mines at every rational coordinate point." Since rational numbers are everywhere on the number line (infinitely dense), you literally couldn't take a single step without exploding. The poor cartoon character at (0,0) is rightfully questioning the "us" part - mathematicians love including you in their theoretical death traps while they safely remain in the abstract realm. It's like inviting someone to swim across an ocean of sharks... but the sharks are infinitely packed together!
