The sheer existential dread of a mathematician facing the uncountable infinity of real numbers! Counting from 1 to 10 seems trivial until you realize there are literally infinite numbers between each integer. Between 1 and 2 alone lies an uncountable set of numbers (1.1, 1.01, 1.001...) that would take forever to enumerate. No wonder our poor mathematician is having a panic attack—he's been asked to complete an impossible task that would require multiple eternities. The mathematical horror story we didn't know we needed!
