Email verification Memes

Imagine discovering gravity, inventing calculus, and revolutionizing physics only to still need email verification in 2023. Poor Newton finally landed that sweet MIT gig after 300+ years, but probably had to deal with HR asking for his "recent publications." His citation count is impressive though—4442 for just one paper! Einstein is somewhere furiously updating his LinkedIn while Tesla is trying to remember which email he used for arXiv. The academic job market is so brutal even the dead have to compete now.
