Sorry, It's A Pretty Derivative Joke

Oh my gourd! This is what happens when computer scientists go trick-or-treating! 🎃 The meme brilliantly visualizes Boolean logic operations using Halloween pumpkins! Each panel shows a different logical operator (OR, AND, XOR, NOR, NAND, XNOR) with the pumpkin features appearing only where the logic dictates. For example, in "Trick OR Treat," both pumpkins have features except where they overlap. In "Trick AND Treat," features appear ONLY in the overlap. XOR is like "you can have trick OR treat but not both" - so the middle stays empty! This is basically what powers your entire computer, just with fewer seeds and less festive charm. Next Halloween party conversation starter? You're welcome!

The scientific hierarchy in its full glory! Physicists strutting around like they're the purest science ("It's nice to be on top!"), while mathematicians are so abstract they don't even notice anyone else exists. 🤓 But flip the script to complexity and suddenly everyone's defensive about their turf! Sociologists dealing with unpredictable humans, psychologists ignoring consciousness because it's TOO HARD, and physicists perking up at the mention of "small-scale interactions" like quantum gossip they can't resist. Meanwhile, mathematicians are off in their own dimension, manipulating numbers without units like some kind of reality-free wizards. The ultimate scientific family feud where everyone thinks their problems are the hardest!

Mathematicians really do be flexing on us with multiple definitions for the same concept. The top panel shows the standard textbook definition we all learned: "a prime number is greater than 1 and can't be written as a product of two smaller positive integers." Simple enough. But then comes fancy tuxedo Pooh with the big brain definition: "p is prime if whenever p divides a product ab, either p divides a or p divides b." This is actually Euclid's Lemma dressed up in formal mathematical language, and it's what mathematicians use when they want to sound smarter at dinner parties. Both definitions are equivalent, but one makes you sound like you shop at Walmart and the other like you have a Fields Medal hidden in your sock drawer. Next time someone asks you about prime numbers, hit 'em with the bottom definition and watch their eyes glaze over!

Geometry throwing shade! The triangle's insult backfires spectacularly when the circle drops the mathematical mic. "Pointless" is both a personal attack AND the circle's literal definition—a set of points equidistant from a center. Meanwhile, the triangle, with its three very obvious points, failed to consider its own pointy nature before starting this geometric beef. Classic case of shape-on-shape crime where the apparent insult is actually the victim's superpower.

The mathematical paradox that breaks brains! In biology, cells multiply by physically splitting in two (mitosis) – which sounds completely backwards to any mathematician who knows multiplication and division are opposite operations. That confused lion is every math major who just heard this biological blasphemy. "Wait, so they're getting MORE cells by DIVIDING? That's... that's illegal!" Biology and mathematics having a fundamental communication breakdown is peak interdisciplinary awkwardness.

That moment when your data looks like it's having a seizure! What we expected: a nice clean trend line. What we got: this chaotic masterpiece that would make Jackson Pollock proud. Scientists spend years designing experiments only to get graphs that look like someone recorded their heart rate while watching horror movies. The real horror? Trying to explain this in your thesis without saying "I have no idea what's happening here." Bonus points if you've already written the conclusion before seeing this plot!
