I Hate This Parabola

Text on the meme

I hate the graph of y=-x^2+630 Uuhhh... She's right behind me, isn't she

What it means

A young man in a patterned shirt complains about the graph of a downward-opening parabola while standing outdoors near the Gateway Arch. After an awkward pause, he realizes the enormous arch behind him resembles the graph and nervously asks, “She’s right behind me, isn’t she?” The joke comes from treating the monument as a personified mathematical enemy, with the dramatic music making the realization feel ominous and absurd.
