Shit Just Got Real

The purple Teletubby showing off the number 2 among all those prime numbers (3, 5, 7, 11, 13) is mathematical treason of the highest order! It's like bringing a spoon to a fork fight. Every mathematician just felt a disturbance in the force—the only even prime number crashing the exclusive club meeting. The number 2 is that weird exception that proves the rule: "All prime numbers are odd... except when they're not." Mathematicians have to add that asterisk to every prime number definition, and you can just tell they're bitter about it.

This flowchart is what happens when career counselors have a mental breakdown. Engineering? Only if you're "good with things." Chemistry? Congratulations on your future as a "fussy pedant." And let's not forget Computer Science, perfect for those who prefer "slow, indirect evil" over the more efficient varieties. The beautiful part is how it nails the existential crisis of every STEM student. "Why do you want to major in a STEM field?" Options include "curiosity" (adorable), "to save the planet" (delusional), or my personal favorite, the dawning realization that STEM was supposed to involve actual plants for Biology majors. After 30 years of teaching, I can confirm this is approximately 87% accurate. The missing 13% is the path where you choose your major based on which department has the least uncomfortable chairs in the lecture hall.

The mathematical revelation that's blowing Einstein's wild hair back! First he's contemplating Planck's constant divided by 2π (ℏ), but then—EUREKA!—he realizes that π/2π = 1/2. That moment when you simplify an equation and discover you've been overthinking it the entire time! Mathematicians call this "reducing fractions," but Einstein calls it "why didn't I think of this sooner?!" Next up: discovering that E=mc² can be simplified to E/m=c². MIND. BLOWN.

The quadratic formula has claimed another victim! Poor Velma is having a mathematical meltdown as she tries to reconcile completely contradictory equations floating around her. The formula is supposed to be x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac))/2a, but someone's written it all wrong! And then there's the logical impossibility of "if x = y then how does x ≠ y???" Plus random area formulas thrown in for extra confusion. This is basically what happens to your brain at 2AM before a math exam - pure mathematical chaos. Even with those signature smart glasses, some equations are just too cursed to compute!

European decimal notation meets American decimal notation, and chaos ensues. The equation "1-0,9=0,01" looks mathematically sound to Europeans using commas as decimal separators, but utterly baffling to Americans reading it as "1 minus 0 comma 9 equals 0 comma 01." Meanwhile, mathematicians are silently screaming because 0.9 repeating actually equals 1, making this whole "theory" as solid as a chocolate beaker in a hot lab. Just another day in the international mathematics communication breakdown.

The ultimate mathematical flex! When challenged to "name every number," most would panic at the impossibility. But this mathematical genius simply responds with "(-∞, ∞)" – interval notation representing literally ALL real numbers from negative infinity to positive infinity. It's the mathematical equivalent of answering "what's your favorite movie?" with "all of them, alphabetically." Technically correct – the best kind of correct!
