Need Help With My Multi-Monitor Setup. Is This Layout Optimal?

Math nerds, get ready to snort-laugh! This meme brilliantly illustrates different vector norms using SpongeBob's shape. On the left, we have the infinity norm (||x||∞ = 1) represented by regular square SpongeBob. On the right, the L2 norm (||x||2 = 1) gives us a perfectly rounded SpongeBob! It's literally turning our favorite sponge into a visual math lesson about how different norms measure distance in vector spaces. Next time your professor mentions L-norms, just picture SpongeBob slowly morphing between shapes!

Someone clearly skipped their high school geometry classes. Flying higher doesn't mean traveling in a triangle! The Earth is curved, so the shortest path between two points is actually a great circle route (geodesic), not whatever this bizarre triangular flight path suggests. If pilots actually flew like this diagram, we'd all have enough time to watch the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy—extended editions—before landing. The real kicker? Even if this were true, the Pythagorean theorem is sobbing in the corner right now because those distances don't remotely add up. Next they'll tell us planes need to dodge the firmament.

Wait, you're telling me the Pythagorean theorem works both ways ?! 🤯 The top panel shows the theorem we all memorized in school: "In a right triangle with sides a, b, c: a² + b² = c²" But the bottom panel reveals the mind-blowing reverse definition: "A triangle with sides a, b, c which hold a² + b² = c² IS a right triangle" It's like finding out your calculator has been secretly capable of playing games this whole time! The theorem doesn't just tell you how to calculate the hypotenuse—it's actually a definition of what makes a triangle right-angled in the first place! Math teachers everywhere are cackling because they knew this all along and never bothered to mention it. The ultimate "well, actually..." moment in geometry!

The mathematical sleight of hand here is absolutely diabolical! The meme shows the square root of 262,144 equals 262,144, which would break mathematics if true. But the trick is that √(2^6^2^1^4^4) is actually √(2^18) = 2^9 = 512, nowhere near 262,144! It's like watching someone confidently declare 2+2=22 and giving it a thumbs up. Math nerds everywhere are either having a stroke or cackling maniacally at this mathematical crime scene.

That moment when you've spent three hours deriving an elegant solution only to realize the problem statement had all the variables defined in the first paragraph. Classic academic hubris! It's like building a rocket to cross the street when there was a perfectly good bridge the whole time. The number of papers I've reviewed where brilliant minds reinvented calculus instead of just using the given formula... If I had a nickel for every time a grad student ignored provided data, I'd have enough to fund that particle accelerator the department keeps begging for.

Running 80,000 complex simulations only to conclude "it could go either way" is the statistical equivalent of shrugging your shoulders while wearing a supercomputer as a backpack. Election forecasters build these elaborate Monte Carlo models with fancy algorithms, then deliver insights that your local fortune teller could've provided for $5. The irony is delicious—all that computational firepower just to admit they have absolutely no idea what's going to happen. Next time, maybe just flip a coin and save the electricity?
