It's Cooler 'Cause It's Harder To Calculate
Mathematicians showing off their superiority complex in one image! Regular integrals? Boring . But replace that summation symbol with a product symbol and suddenly you're the coolest mathematician at the department party. The "prodegral" isn't even a standard mathematical operation—it's basically the calculus equivalent of putting flames on your Honda Civic. Sure, you could calculate the area under a curve with a regular integral, but why do that when you can make it unnecessarily complicated and pretend you're a mathematical genius? This is pure math hipster energy. "Oh, you use regular integrals? I use this obscure notation that makes everything harder to solve but looks way more impressive on my office whiteboard."

My Favorite Frequency Is Beyond Your Human Comprehension
The ultimate hipster dog has entered the chat! This canine genius is flexing its love for 50,000 Hz - a frequency well beyond human hearing range (which tops out around 20,000 Hz). Basically, this sophisticated pup is bragging about enjoying sounds that humans physically cannot perceive. It's like someone saying their favorite color is ultraviolet or their favorite restaurant is on Mars. The glasses and scarf really complete the "I'm into things too obscure for your primitive human ears" vibe. Next thing you know, this dog will be telling us about an underground band that only performs in dog whistles.

Been Recombinatin' For 1.5 Billion Years
Bacteriophages: the original genetic engineers with 1.5 billion years of experience. While grad students struggle with CRISPR in sterile labs, these microscopic hipsters have been swapping DNA between bacteria since before multicellular life was even a concept. The "deal with it" shades are perfectly warranted - they've been doing horizontal gene transfer since before we figured out how to walk upright. Next time some biotech startup brags about their "revolutionary" gene editing technique, remember this viral OG is sitting there thinking, "Amateur hour."

Before It Was Cool...
Nikola Tesla casually plugged into a wall outlet before rock bands were even a concept. The electrical pioneer was probably just enjoying some alternating current/direct current through those primitive earbuds while the rest of humanity was still arguing about which electrical standard would win. When you've invented wireless transmission, you get to listen to music that won't exist for another century. That's just how temporal electrical engineering works.
