There's Always That One Impostor Among The Primes
Tom the cat is hunting prime numbers like they're his prey, but wait—57 is strutting around in the prime number club! That's like showing up to a mathematician's conference with a calculator that only does addition. 57 = 3 × 19, making it the numerical equivalent of wearing a fake mustache to a secret society meeting. Even Tom's face in the second panel screams "I've caught you, you composite fraud!" This is number theory gatekeeping at its finest!

When The Impostor Number Crashes Your Prime Party
Tom the cat is perfectly happy with his parade of prime numbers (31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53)... until Jerry shows up with the number 57! The horror on Tom's face is priceless because 57 is NOT a prime number (it's 3×19)! That tiny equation "5+7=12" is the cherry on top, showing how 57 is trying to sneak into the prime number club with fake credentials. Math nerds everywhere are cackling at this mathematical impostor syndrome!

I'm No Engineer But The Algorithm Thinks I Am
The digital algorithm gods have spoken! They've decided you're secretly a mechanical engineering genius despite your browser history showing nothing but cat videos and pizza recipes. That feeling when recommendation engines think you're qualified to discuss tensile strength and fluid dynamics just because you once watched a 10-second clip of someone building a bridge out of popsicle sticks. The modern academic experience in a nutshell - fake it till you make it, or at least until someone asks a question specific enough to expose your complete lack of expertise!

There Is A Non-Metal Among Us
Chemistry betrayal at its finest! The meme shows Tom the cat eyeing a row of yellow chicks labeled as alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) but then getting shocked when Hydrogen (H) appears - the non-metal impostor! While H sits in Group 1 of the periodic table with the alkali metals, it's actually a gas that just pretends to be part of the metal family. Classic periodic table identity crisis! Hydrogen's just vibing in the wrong neighborhood with its single electron while the real metals are sweating bullets. The chemistry equivalent of wearing a fake mustache to sneak into an exclusive club!

When Your Hamiltonian Phase Space Is Sus
Oh god, the Hamiltonian space plot looks suspiciously like... that meme . Once you see the resemblance to the Among Us character, you can't unsee it. Some poor physics grad student probably spent weeks coding this phase space trajectory only to realize they've accidentally created a scientific shitpost. The universe is truly a cruel jokester—making our serious mathematical representations of physical systems look like cartoon space beans. Next time you're solving Hamilton's equations, remember: in phase space, no one can hear you scream.

91 Seems More Prime Than 57

91 Seems More Prime Than 57
Ever notice how some numbers just feel more prime than others? This meme perfectly captures that weird math intuition we all secretly have! The prime numbers between 80-100 are actually 83, 89, and 97 (with 91 being an impostor since it's 7×13). But that cat sitting there labeled "91" just looks so confident about belonging in the prime club! It's like when you're absolutely certain about an answer on a math test until the results come back and you realize you've been bamboozled by your own brain. Mathematics doesn't care about your feelings, unfortunately! 😂

The Physics Impostor: Quantum Sus Edition
The ultimate scientific whodunit! This genius-level Among Us game features the greatest minds in physics history. But which brilliant physicist is secretly plotting to sabotage the laws of the universe? My money's on Oppenheimer - that intense stare screams "I am become death, destroyer of worlds" energy. Or maybe it's Feynman with his mischievous grin? He's definitely venting through quantum tunnels! Meanwhile, Einstein's just trolling everyone with that tongue-out selfie. The real twist? Schrödinger is simultaneously the impostor AND not the impostor until someone calls an emergency meeting!
