Me at 3 AM Proving 1 Equals 2

*Should be already asleep* Me at 3 am: Proof: let a = b a² = ab a² - b² = ab - b² (a+b)(a-b) = b(a-b) a+b = b b+b = b 2b = b Proof that 1 = 2.

A man writes a deliberately flawed algebra proof on a classroom chalkboard late at night, concluding that 1 equals 2. The joke captures staying awake obsessively over pointless or impossible thoughts when one should be sleeping, and is used as a reaction to late-night overthinking.
