Their brain goes "haha funny number" without even thinking! 🧠🔔 It's a perfect demonstration of how we're all just walking bundles of neural pathways ready to be triggered by the silliest stimuli. The human saying "nice" to 69 is basically the equivalent of a dog drooling at a bell ring. We're not so evolved after all! *maniacal scientist cackle*

When Math Gets Too Hard

Talk about a negative discriminant! This poor math teacher discovered their ex had a Pavlovian response to the quadratic formula that would make even Schrödinger's cat blush. Instead of solving for x, they solved for ex! The relationship reached its asymptotic limit when they couldn't resist turning public spaces into impromptu math classrooms. Turns out some variables just aren't meant to be paired in the same equation! Next time try trigonometry instead—those sine waves are much less revealing.
