Stop Doing Math

Text on the meme

STOP DOING MATH • NUMBERS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN NAMES • YEARS OF COUNTING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for going higher than your FINGERS • Wanted to go higher anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that. It was called “GUESSING” • “Yes please give me ZERO of something. Please give me INFINITY of it” - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged LOOK at what Mathematicians have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the calculators & abacus we built for them (This is REAL Math, done by REAL Mathematicians): ????? ??????? ???????????????? ”Hello I would like apples please” They have played us for absolute fools

What it means

A satirical anti-math poster mocks mathematicians for assigning names to numbers and using elaborate calculators and abacuses. It presents colorful mathematical graphs and shapes as if they were absurd inventions, then contrasts them with a simple request for apples. The punchline is that complicated mathematics is portrayed as an elaborate scam played on everyone else.
