Crocodile Wants the Bigger Number

I'm writing my PhD thesis in theoretical physics and every time I have to decide between using > and < I think to myself "the crocodile wants to eat the bigger number"

A screenshot of a tweet jokes about choosing between the greater-than and less-than symbols in a theoretical physics PhD thesis. The punchline uses the childish mnemonic that the crocodile's open mouth points toward the bigger number, contrasting it with the seriousness of advanced academic work.
