Post Truth Math

Also known as “Fake Math,” “Trump Math,” “Bigly Math,” and “BS Math.” Half-lies and conspiracies about or on math and math education, which look superficially or uncritically fun, but they are conceptually dangerous to most semi-innumerates and non-symbol-minded folks.

Millions of MAGA patriots have been brainwashed or radicalized to believe post truth math without questions, which has indirectly led to the banning of some math titles or classics in some puritan circles.

math lesson

the worst kind of torture, created by satan himself. You can go for your whole life never needing to find "x" nor calculating the square root of 16.

Satan: I have run out of ideas, what can we do?
demon #1: we create this thing called math lessons were we force the youngsters to count for no apparent reason
demon #2: AND WE'LL MAKE THEM THINK THAT ITS USEFUL
satan: GENIOUSLY! LETS MAKE IT!

Wasabi Math

Math problems titles filled with oft-minimalist information that tend to put off or confuse math-anxious people, who may find them mentally nauseating or brain-unfriendly.

Like wasabi peas and sushis, wallet-friendly wasabi math titles from Asian and Communist countries would petrify the majority of K–12 American students and their teachers, who’re spoon-fed with drill-and-kill questions.
