Internet: "Is this dress blue/black or white/gold?"

Mathematicians: "Hold my chalk."

Bertrand's Paradox shows how different sampling methods for the same problem yield different probabilities—much like how different lighting conditions make that infamous dress appear as different colors. While normal people argue over dress colors, mathematicians quietly obsess over the probability of random chords being longer than the side of an inscribed triangle. Both groups are equally insufferable at parties.
