Sawtooth Memes

The mathematical equation y = x x x x... produces this perfect sawtooth wave graph, and honestly, it's the most satisfying thing I've seen since discovering that coffee and deadlines have a linear relationship. Math nerds everywhere are quietly nodding with that special mix of "I understand this complexity" and "I should probably go outside more." The beauty of functions that create such clean patterns makes me want to frame this and hang it in my office... right next to my collection of unfinished research papers.
