![On April 17th, 2020, meme creator Welcome To My Meme Page posted a parody infographic to Facebook,[1] Instagram,[2] and Twitter,[3] titled, "STOP DOING MATH" (shown below). The infographic describes various ridiculous reasons why people should stop doing math, including that "numbers were not supposed to be given names," and ends with the phrase, "they have played us for absolute fools." The post gained over 9,800 reactions on Facebook, 77,000 likes and 23,000 retweets, and 18,500 likes on Instagram in 10 months.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vsyj5jtayxcq5dw5mtja4xtb/bafkreier7r5uluprz24b47wich5lrs5tc4kxdkbc5kbu34cxlvf5ukzgbq@jpeg)

crazy how much this bugs me now that someone pointed it out. if i worked at the white house, i would find this ugly, but not as annoying as i do now. ignorance is really bliss bc they more you learn, the more you just walk around thinking "collar gap" and "kerning is off."

I find that the only cure for the "summer is dying" sadness is to embrace autumnal cuisine! At long last it's not too hot to make soups, creams, or spend forty minutes over a pot stirring rice. 🤤

Hi Iris, thank you for the selection of quotes! Would it be alright if I showed parts of your thread in class? I have to speak to my students about AI in the context of an upcoming coursework.
