If-statements Memes

So you thought programming was just a bunch of if-statements strung together? Sweet summer child. Mathematicians just watched your soul leave your body in real-time. Turns out, those "if" statements in programming are baby talk compared to the rigorous logical gymnastics required for mathematical proofs. While coders are happily writing "if x > 5 then do this," mathematicians are out here proving that 1+1=2 takes 379 pages (looking at you, Principia Mathematica). The side-eye is strong with this one—it's the look of someone who's about to introduce you to proof by induction, proof by contradiction, and proof by "I'm crying in the library at midnight."
