Time Machine Priorities

Time Machine Priorities
The eternal struggle of mathematicians! While regular folks would use a time machine for sentimental family reunions, mathematicians are out here solving the REAL problems—handing ancient Greek geometry proofs to Euclid and presumably cursing in Greek at each other. That portal in the corner? Just casual time-space manipulation to grab another mathematician for peer review. The reference to "20 Min Adventure" makes it even better—as if popping back thousands of years to revolutionize mathematics would be a quick errand. Because nothing says "efficient use of groundbreaking technology" like settling centuries-old mathematical debates instead of, you know, witnessing dinosaurs or something practical.

Not Even Hodling Hands?

Not Even Hodling Hands?
The true romance of a mathematician. Nothing says "I love you" like suggesting differential equations as foreplay. The relationship might be integrating toward a solution, but her expression suggests there's a discontinuity in their expectations. Classic case of mistaking mathematical coupling for the physical kind. Some passions simply can't be contained by boundary conditions.

The Scientific Ladder Of Importance

The Scientific Ladder Of Importance
The scientific hierarchy in one staircase! Our red-capped hero is sprinting past botany (who needs plants?), zoology (animals are just a stepping stone), and ecology (merely a pit stop) to reach the "prestigious" human physiology and biochemistry at the top. It's the perfect visualization of how some biology students prioritize their studies—skipping the foundational sciences like they're avoiding vegetables at dinner. The irony? Those bottom steps support everything above them! Nature's pyramid scheme where everyone thinks the human-focused fields deserve the penthouse.

Fundamental Physics: Theory Over Practice

Fundamental Physics: Theory Over Practice
The eternal divide between theoretical and applied physics, captured in chalk dust and despair. That professor isn't wrong though - most physics departments are filled with people who derive equations for 12 hours straight but couldn't change a light bulb if their tenure depended on it. The irony being that physics literally explains how everything works, yet physicists pride themselves on ignoring those practical applications. It's like owning the instruction manual to the universe but only reading the footnotes.
