Academic flex Memes

That diabolical grin when you're writing a 17-page mathematical proof and you KNOW it's airtight. The quill scratches paper as your brain screams "I've conquered this theorem and I'm about to flex so hard on this exam." It's that perfect blend of academic superiority and mild psychopathy that every STEM student understands. The longer the proof, the more powerful you feel—like some mathematical dark lord unleashing elegant chaos upon your professor's desk.

Math nerds flexing their calculus muscles! Why write a simple subtraction when you can show off with a definite integral? The bottom panel shows ∫ b a dx which equals a-b, but with 500% more intellectual swagger! It's like choosing to parallel park when there's a pull-through spot available. Calculus students everywhere are nodding smugly right now.

The ultimate mathematical flex isn't money or status—it's casually dropping "proof left as an exercise to the reader" and walking away like you didn't just commit emotional damage. Mathematicians have been traumatizing students with this power move for centuries. Nothing says "I'm intellectually superior" quite like implying a proof is so trivial it's not worth your precious chalk. Meanwhile, students everywhere are frantically scribbling at 2 AM, questioning their life choices and wondering if "obvious" means something entirely different in math-speak.
