Historical Memes

Newton judging your Instagram scrolling from the 17th century is peak time-travel guilt trip. Of course, the man who invented calculus during a plague quarantine would say this. Funny how he's concerned about differential equations when he died a virgin. Pretty sure if Newton had TikTok, he'd be too busy watching apple-dropping compilation videos to revolutionize physics.

Behold the hierarchy of historical flexes! Simón Bolívar got a country (Bolivia), Queen Victoria scored an entire era (Victorian), but Euler? That mathematical madlad got the most fundamental constant in mathematics (e) AND a gazillion equations AND a whole method of solving differential equations! While others were conquering land, Euler was conquering REALITY ITSELF with his big brain energy. The ultimate flex isn't ruling people—it's when your name becomes immortalized in every physics and engineering textbook for eternity! *adjusts safety goggles while cackling maniacally*

Newton judging your Instagram habits from beyond the grave is peak historical fiction. The man who invented calculus while social distancing during a plague would absolutely have spent 18 hours a day on TikTok if he'd had the chance. Let's not forget this is the same guy who stuck a needle in his own eye socket "for science" and spent years trying to turn lead into gold. Sure, Isaac, I'll solve differential equations right after I finish watching this cat video.

The mathematical equivalent of finding Waldo! Leonhard Euler, the Swiss mathematician extraordinaire, somehow managed to contribute to virtually every mathematical field that exists. Calculus? Euler was there. Number theory? Yep, Euler again. Graph theory? You guessed it—Euler crashed that party too. The meme brilliantly portrays Euler as that unexpected guest who shows up in every mathematical domain like he owns the place. His contributions were so vast that mathematicians still stumble across his work centuries later thinking "seriously, this guy AGAIN?" Next time you're studying any mathematical concept, just assume Euler had his fingers in it—you'll probably be right.

Politicians get countries named after them. Monarchs get entire historical eras. But mathematicians? Leonhard Euler is sitting there with his cool shades because he has over 70 mathematical concepts bearing his name. Countries come and go, but E=mc² is forever. The man has theorems, numbers, formulas, and even letters (that mysterious e in calculus) immortalizing him. Talk about mathematical flexing! While kings and queens ruled lands, Euler ruled the very language of the universe. That's not just fame—that's intellectual immortality.

When mathematicians see someone write "e = 8" on an MIT entrance exam from 1869, they collectively lose their minds! The meme shows historical figures (including what appears to be Euler himself) trying to restrain someone who's witnessing this mathematical blasphemy. It's like catching someone claiming the Earth is flat at a NASA conference! The joke references how mathematicians get irrationally upset (pun intended) about approximations. While engineers might round π to 3 for practical calculations, seeing the mathematical constant e (approximately 2.71828) defined as 8 would make any mathematician need therapy. The title "π=3 Is So 21st Century" suggests we've moved beyond that old mathematical sin to commit even more outrageous ones!
