Math students everywhere having existential crises when they discover "line integrals" aren't actually about lines at all. The absolute betrayal! First calculus traumatizes us with limits, then hits us with this naming scandal. That cat's face perfectly captures the moment of realization that mathematical terminology is just mathematicians gaslighting the rest of us. "Integrating over a curve" is what it actually is, but nooo, that would be too straightforward. Next they'll tell us a "ring" in algebra doesn't fit on your finger and "fields" don't grow crops.
