Doritos Memes

The origin story we never knew we needed! Contrary to actual history (where trigonometry dates back to ancient Babylonian and Egyptian mathematicians), this meme presents the hilarious "alternative facts" version. The visual pun of the Doritos-headed businessman alongside a sphere of trigonometric equations is pure genius! It's playing on the fake etymology of "trigonometry" by inventing "Trey Gonometree" as its founder, while the "touch grass" phrase mocks how math enthusiasts can get so deep into abstract concepts they disconnect from reality. Next time your calculus professor starts lecturing, just ask if they've touched grass lately!
