The Infinite Password Loop

Oh, sweet mathematical optimism! The top equation represents 2020 as a simple integral of 1/x⁵, which is already pretty terrible since it approaches infinity as x approaches zero. But 2021? That's the same nightmare with "+1" in the denominator—a pathetic attempt to make the function marginally less catastrophic. It's like thinking a life preserver will help when you're being sucked into a black hole. Spoiler alert: when your disaster is measured in powers of x⁵, adding 1 is just mathematical thoughts and prayers.

The guy's not wrong. The Zeroth Law basically says if A = B and B = C, then A = C. It's like discovering your coffee mug is the same temperature as your desk, and your desk is the same temperature as your keyboard, so—shocking revelation—your coffee mug is the same temperature as your keyboard. Physicists really spent centuries figuring that out and then had to awkwardly insert it as the "Zeroth" law because they'd already numbered the others. Classic scientific numbering crisis. Next they'll tell us water is wet.

The mathematical crime scene here is truly spectacular. Someone has boldly claimed that x² equals x added to itself x times (which is actually x·x, not x²). Then they take derivatives of both sides, somehow getting 2x on the left (correct) and x on the right (incorrect), concluding that 2=1. This is the mathematical equivalent of claiming you can fit 10 pounds of equations into a 5-pound proof. Mathematicians worldwide just felt a collective shudder. The only derivative that works here is the derivative of my patience.

Engineers and physicists have been approximating π as 3 for generations, but this madlad just one-upped them with π = 4! The meme shows the classic "mathematician's nightmare" where repeatedly chopping corners off a square somehow preserves the perimeter while approaching a circle. Eventually reaching the punchline that π = 4. What's happening here is a beautiful example of why calculus professors drink heavily. The perimeter of a circle with diameter 1 is π, while a square with side length 1 has perimeter 4. This "proof" suggests they're equivalent, which would make Archimedes roll in his ancient grave. The trick? Each corner-cutting creates a jagged path that maintains the same length as the original square. No matter how many corners you remove, you're still tracing a path of length 4, not π. It's like claiming you can drive from New York to Boston in a straight line because you've smoothed out all the highway curves on your map.

Fermat: "All my numbers are prime!" Euler: "Actually, your F 5 = 4,294,967,297 factors as 641 × 6,700,417." The rest of us: *mind explosion* Euler was out here factoring 10-digit numbers BY HAND in the 1700s while I need a calculator to figure out the tip at restaurants. The man wasn't just a mathematician—he was basically the Chuck Norris of number theory. No computers, no calculators, just pure brain power and probably a quill pen that was equally terrified of him. And we think we're clever for solving Wordle.

What you're witnessing here is the rare subconscious manifestation of the Schrödinger wave equation (Ψ) drawn by someone who fell asleep during quantum mechanics lecture. The triangle represents the potential well, while that sad little "e" is just hanging out there like an electron wondering where its probability density went. Truly the stuff of nightmares for physics undergrads. Next time you dream of mathematical functions, maybe try something easier like y=mx+b.
