Terrance Howard's Mathematical Universe

The cosmic shade of it all! Someone's making a tier list of mathematical constants and put the speed of light (c) in the C tier. That's 299,792,458 meters per second of pure disrespect! 😂 Nothing travels faster in our universe, yet it's stuck in the middle of the rankings. The ultimate cosmic speed limit getting a mediocre grade is like giving Einstein a participation trophy. The universe is literally expanding at this speed, and we're out here giving it a C? The audacity! Next thing you know they'll put π in the D tier because "it's irrational." #JusticeForC

The classic academic bait-and-switch! First panel: innocent student thinks they'll major in math until they step on that rake of reality. Second panel: the realization that math is actually HARD sends them running for cover. But wait—it gets better! The bottom panel reveals the full academic hierarchy trap: Biology majors discover they need chemistry, chemistry students learn it's just applied physics, and physics majors realize it's all applied mathematics anyway. It's the circle of academic life! Basically, no matter which science door you choose to enter, mathematics is waiting at the end with a sinister grin saying "you thought you could escape me?" The universe's cruelest joke is that we're all math majors in the end—we just took different routes to the inevitable.

The mathematical nightmare that haunts calculus students everywhere! You start peeling away at what seems like a straightforward integral, only to reveal... ANOTHER integral hiding inside. Just like this orange-within-an-orange situation. Integration by parts? More like integration by tears. The mathematical equivalent of Russian nesting dolls, except instead of cute wooden figures, you get increasingly complex equations that make you question your life choices. Next time your professor says "this is a simple integration exercise," know they're probably cackling internally.

The academic job market in a single slide! This multiple choice question hits way too close to home for anyone with an advanced degree. The punchline? While PhDs in Mathematical Biology and Statistics can apparently feed families (alongside pepperoni pizza), Theoretical Mathematics is deemed the odd one out because it can't put food on the table! The brutal reality of academic salaries has never been more deliciously roasted. And that professor's gesture? That's the universal "I'm laughing but I'm also crying inside" academic hand signal that every grad student learns by osmosis.

The ultimate mathematical flex isn't money or status—it's casually dropping "proof left as an exercise to the reader" and walking away like you didn't just commit emotional damage. Mathematicians have been traumatizing students with this power move for centuries. Nothing says "I'm intellectually superior" quite like implying a proof is so trivial it's not worth your precious chalk. Meanwhile, students everywhere are frantically scribbling at 2 AM, questioning their life choices and wondering if "obvious" means something entirely different in math-speak.

The mathematical brain rot is real! In math notation, vertical bars around a value (like |o|) represent the absolute value - meaning the distance from zero regardless of sign. So "lol" suddenly transforms from internet slang to "|o|" or "absolute value of o." Once your brain makes this connection, you can never unsee it. Every "lol" becomes a mathematical expression. The account name "the-real-numbers" makes it even better since absolute values always give you real numbers. Your casual texting vocabulary is forever contaminated with calculus flashbacks!
