Monkey Memes

The hierarchy of scientific existential dread on full display. Social scientists fretting about replication issues while physicists casually mention they can't explain 95% of the universe (dark matter and dark energy, no big deal). Meanwhile, mathematicians are just sweating nervously, hoping nobody discovers that most mathematical concepts exist purely in abstract realms humans can't even visualize. The monkey meme perfectly captures that "just keep looking away and maybe no one will notice our field is built on abstractions that make dark matter look straightforward." Pure mathematical anxiety in primate form.

Looking for patterns in prime numbers is like trying to find logic in a toddler's bedtime routine. Those mathematical primates have been confounding even the brightest minds for centuries! Prime numbers follow no sequence, no neat formula—they're just sitting there, divisible only by 1 and themselves, smirking at our futile attempts to predict where they'll show up next. Mathematicians have spent entire careers searching for patterns, and here we are, still scratching our heads like confused orangutans at a quantum physics lecture. The best mathematical minds: "There must be a pattern!" Prime numbers: "Hold my banana."
