Coping mechanisms Memes

The duality of academic suffering on full display! Physics students are contemplating getting absolutely hammered before their electromagnetic finals (a completely reasonable coping mechanism), while math students are casually pondering abstract field axioms and the philosophical underpinnings of arithmetic operations. Physics majors: "Will alcohol help me forget Maxwell's equations?" Math majors: "But what really is multiplication when you think about it?" And yet both posts got nearly identical engagement numbers. Misery loves company, regardless of whether you're drowning in vector calculus or abstract algebra. The universal language of academia isn't math—it's suffering.
