Existential crisis Memes

The eternal struggle of every math student captured in one perfect bell curve! On the left, we've got the sweet summer child with basic algebra wondering "When am I gonna use this?" In the middle, the poor soul drowning in Maxwell's equations and portfolio optimization, screaming "NOOO!!! trust, math is errywhere" while having an existential crisis. And on the right, we've got the PhD candidate pondering cosmology and manifolds, who has circled back to "When am I gonna use this?" It's the mathematical circle of life! First you question why you need to learn y=mx+b, then you realize math is everywhere, and finally you're contemplating curved spacetime while questioning your life choices. The bell curve doesn't lie - we all end up in the same place eventually!

The mathematical paradox that breaks cat brains. In set theory, an empty set (∅) contains absolutely nothing—zero elements. Yet somehow, mathematicians still feel compelled to "look inside" it, as if staring into the void might reveal some hidden secret. The cat's existential crisis perfectly captures what happens when you try to comprehend nothingness while simultaneously being something. It's the feline equivalent of dividing by zero—your brain just short-circuits.
