I love mathematicians so much. No one else is doing it like them. Group of people genuinely only in it for love of the game. Everyone else hates their subject and thinks its boring and useless and these guys are out here talking about how beautiful and incredible and poetic it is with a twinkle in their eyes. No other subject has such a crazy disconnect between public perception and reality. I love it.

you've heard of optimal square packing, but packing cubes in cubes also exists.

is the optimal for 12 cubes. (image from https://erich-friedman.github.io/packing/cubincub/ )

ok this is even more cursed than squares. i love it and hate it at the same time. my eyes bleed out with hearts to this.

average first sentence of a math wikipedia page:

A snorkle basis is a particular sort of set that has some properties and is generally "nice" (in a rigorous sense) and can do many things and is very practical.
