When you treasure your time in the toilet to let your wandering mind act as a catalyst to increase your chances of experiencing an aha about or on the number π.
Carlos looks forward to doing his daily business because on a few occasions he’s struck with some toilet pi epiphanies.

Get the Toilet Pimug. Math stuff we commented about, downloaded, posted, sold, or even stole online that linger in cyberspace long after our last heartbeat—the e-books, tweets, blog posts, articles, jokes, memes, NFTs, and the like.
How much mathematical remains or remnants would you have left behind after you’d journeyed to the other side of eternity?

Get the Mathematical Remainsmug. When you compare a big Tic Tac with a little Tic Tac, which obviously sell at different prices due to their sizes, to define inflation, rather than comparing the prices of two boxes of Tic Tacs of the same size at different times.

Get the Trumplationmug. A humanist manifesto that brings together mathematicians and math educators around the globe to promote the message that math, in particular pi, must be humanized and inclusive rather than indifferent and elitist.
In an age of AI, where machines could spread π misinformation and disinformation, it’s of paramount importance that movements like “Pi Needs You!” reside in the mathematical consciousness of an oft-semi-innumerate lay public.

Get the Pi Needs You!mug. When a white supremacist or/and chauvinist suspects that an ill-posed or poorly worded math question, or for that matter any mathematical faux pas, big or small, most likely comes from a woman/person of color/immigrant/LBGTQ.
While a team of math educators-turned-inspectors are still investigating the source of the “confusing” test question that led thousands of students into frustration or panic, the Blamer-in-Chief attributes it to a DEI math problem.

Get the DEI Mathmug. Some silly, reckless, or deadly act underperforming or poorly motivated students perform on their oft-mean teacher on Pi Day, be it for fun, malice, or revenge—when these rowdies or troublemakers want to get even with adults on this most popular date in the math calendar.
Playing pi pranks like throwing a whole pizza at a teacher’s face and ordering a cicadas pizza for the math HOD is often a paying-back time for rogue students to humiliate the teaching staff.

Get the Pi Prankmug. The math constant’s equivalent of writer’s block. When the number π frustratingly finds herself facing a blank page with zero output on her part, often spewing out a string of four-letter words.
Unlike her constant counterparts like e and 𝜙, rain or shine, π doesn’t give the excuse of pi’s block to rationalize why she’s semi-productive or unproductive on certain days.
