Power move Memes

The ultimate mathematical flex isn't money or status—it's casually dropping "proof left as an exercise to the reader" and walking away like you didn't just commit emotional damage. Mathematicians have been traumatizing students with this power move for centuries. Nothing says "I'm intellectually superior" quite like implying a proof is so trivial it's not worth your precious chalk. Meanwhile, students everywhere are frantically scribbling at 2 AM, questioning their life choices and wondering if "obvious" means something entirely different in math-speak.
