Another Day Not Using the Quadratic Formula

another day of not using x = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac)) / 2a

A tense video montage shows a bloodied, increasingly emotional man in dim interiors while the caption claims it is “another day of not using” the quadratic formula. The joke contrasts dramatic, tearful cinematic suffering with the trivial fact that he has avoided using a school-math formula; Radiohead’s melancholic “No Surprises” makes the reaction feel even more mournful and absurd.
