Numerical literacy Memes

Our brains are hilariously bad at grasping large numbers. Spider-Man's contemplative pose perfectly captures that moment when your mind is utterly blown by numerical reality. Think about it—a thousand seconds is just 16.7 minutes, but a million seconds is 11 days, and a billion seconds is 31.5 YEARS! That's why billionaires should make us way more uncomfortable than they do. Next time someone says "I'll be back in a billion seconds," you should probably find new friends who'll be alive when you're 90.

The irony is just *chef's kiss* perfect! The headline claims "4 in 10" Americans hate math, which is literally 40% - not even a majority! Then the subtitle calls it "a majority of Americans" which is mathematically incorrect since a majority needs to be over 50%. The meme character standing smugly by the chalkboard full of equations is basically all of us who caught this mathematical self-own. It's the perfect representation of why we need more math education! Numbers don't lie, but apparently headlines do!
