The Metric System Claims Another Victim

The ultimate physics dad joke has arrived! This meme brilliantly plays on two fundamental forces of nature - parental frustration and gravity. Mom's complaining about pregnancy while baby is making the scientific observation that they resemble their father... who happens to be Newton's gravitational law and Coulomb's law. Both equations have the same basic structure (F = constant × quantities / r²) because attraction runs in the family! The baby isn't just saying dad is a force to be reckoned with - they're literally made of the same mathematical DNA. Scientists spend years trying to unify forces while this family's been doing it since conception. Talk about relationship goals - they're inversely proportional to the square of the distance!

Mathematically speaking, this grandma is ancient . If she used to be a prime number (divisible only by 1 and itself), she's now clearly a composite number with multiple factors. The largest known prime number has over 24 million digits, so we're talking about someone who's been around since before the universe had proper coffee shops. No wonder she needs help getting to bed - she's probably exhausted from watching the Big Bang firsthand.

The mathematical blasphemy is UNBEARABLE! Engineers gleefully declaring π = e = 3 is like watching someone microwave a fine steak. Pure mathematical terrorism! 🤓 For the uninitiated, π is approximately 3.14159..., e is about 2.71828..., and neither will EVER equal 3 except in the fever dreams of engineers seeking "close enough" approximations to make their calculations easier. Meanwhile, mathematicians everywhere are having tiny heart attacks. The teacher's exasperation is the collective sigh of academia. "The n-th time" is particularly brilliant—even the complaint is expressed as a mathematical variable!

The mathematician's ultimate revenge fantasy! Rejecting astrology only to embrace something even more mystifying - divergent series. While horoscopes claim to predict your future based on star positions, mathematicians like Berkeley and Kronecker assign actual numerical values to infinite sums that have no business converging. Those infinite series shown are the mathematical equivalent of astrology to most normal humans - completely nonsensical results that somehow equal fractions. The alternating series 1-1+1-1+... somehow equals 1/2? The natural numbers summing to -1/12? Pure mathematical witchcraft that makes zodiac signs look downright scientific. Next time someone asks for your sign, just tell them you're a divergent series and watch their soul leave their body.

The horror story in two integrals! The top one (∫1/x⁵ dx) is actually quite friendly—it's a basic power rule integration that gives you -1/(4x⁴) + C. But add that innocent little "+1" to the denominator, and suddenly you're staring into the mathematical abyss. That bottom integral (∫1/(x⁵+1) dx) has no elementary antiderivative. It requires special functions or numerical methods to solve. The face of pure dread in the second panel perfectly captures the moment when you realize your homework just went from "I'll finish this before coffee" to "I need to reconsider my life choices."
