The Great Percentage Switcheroo

This graph is the emotional rollercoaster we ALL experience during calculus exams! The derivative of anxiety starts climbing as the test begins, peaks when you realize you forgot everything, then briefly dips during the multiple choice (thank goodness for educated guessing). Then comes the panic spike when you notice the pattern of selecting "C" five times in a row (surely that can't be right?), followed by the despair of not finding your answer among the choices. The final anxiety explosion happens when you realize you've done several problems wrong - right as time expires! The beautiful irony? This is literally a derivative graph in a calculus exam about derivatives. Math professors are secretly evil geniuses!

The mathematical massacre happening here is just *chef's kiss*. Someone claims 1¢ per second would be better than $2.5 million, and our confident mathematician declares it's "1.3 billion every other week" without a single calculation actually working out. Let's do the real math: 1¢/second = 60¢/minute = $36/hour = $864/day = ~$6,048/week. That's roughly 0.0000046 billion every other week. Our friend was only off by a factor of 280,000! The best part? The honest admission at the end: "i just thought of the biggest number i know and commented it." Peak internet mathematics in action!

The eternal struggle between theoretical physics and practical engineering captured in one brutal roast. The physicist spends years contemplating quarks and cosmic heat death while drowning in student debt and existential dread. Meanwhile, the engineer is out there approximating π=3 because "close enough," getting rich, and actually building stuff that works. Nothing says "academia vs. industry" quite like choosing between writing anxiously in pencil or confidently counting squares under a curve because integration is for nerds with too much time on their hands. The true irony? Both think they're better than the other while secretly wondering if they made the right career choice.

The classic "make up a complicated equation and pretend it solves everything" approach! This physicist is trolling economists by creating a nonsensical formula that supposedly revolutionizes global trade economics by—wait for it—just adding "AI" to the end. The equation itself is mathematical gibberish dressed up in fancy symbols, but adding "AI" magically makes it revolutionary. It's basically the academic equivalent of saying "but what if we used blockchain?" to solve any problem. The unfinished sentence at the end is the cherry on top of this magnificent satire of how AI gets thrown into discussions where it doesn't belong.

Pure mathematicians experience physical pain when they see approximations and "good enough" solutions in applied math textbooks. The horror of reading "let's assume this infinitesimal is zero" or "this term is negligible" is equivalent to watching someone commit mathematical homicide. The textbook might as well say "proof left as an exercise" on every page while a physicist scribbles π=3 in the margin.

The driver complains about fog while literally driving through the mathematical expression f(g(x)) — the composition of functions that haunts every calculus student's nightmares. This is peak math humor for people who've survived differential equations. The expression f(g(x)) represents a function composition where g is applied first, then f is applied to the result. Just like actual fog obscures your vision, function composition obscures what's happening to your poor variable x as it gets passed through multiple operations. No wonder the driver can't see where they're going — they're lost in a calculus hellscape!
