< and >

The inequality or “woke math” signs for “greater than” (>) and “less than” (<), which often confuse an obscene number of young schoolchildren worldwide, because they mistake one sign for another.

Two metamathematics questions on “< and >” are:
True or False: (a) 3 > ⁵ and (b) ₅ < 4.

Pi’s Irrationality

When the number π uses its celebrity status in popular culture to push other mathematical constants or beloved numbers around so that they remain out of sight to the lay public, who might otherwise discover their hidden beautiful numerical or geometric properties.

Some numerical rebels like 0, √2, e, i, and 𝛷 have ganged together to protest against pi’s irrationality—they wanted π to be censored for its bullying behaviors and condescending attitudes vis-à-vis fellow mathematical constants and geometric figures.

Friendships

The secret to one’s longevity rather than just exercise or healthy diet, with God holding them tightly together.

In an age when more and more people are getting lonelier, friendships and relationships with others are vital for our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, not to say, graceful aging.

Piapple

An apple with π markings all over it, which is used as a cure for people who desire to overcome the fear of appearing foolish, as they conspicuously carry the defaced fruit around in public squares.

Guesstimate how many fearful folks worldwide would be bold enough to walk around with a piapple to train themselves to be thick-skinned.

F***ing Pi

When no mathematical constant other than π has attracted so much envy or jealousy among fellow members in the Number Kingdom—when π continues to steal the show wherever she goes, because her sexy numerical and geometric properties have led legions of math geeks on their knees to worship her.

Love her or loathe her, even mathophohics can’t ignore the mesmerizing or magical beauty of f***ing pi, with some of them even able to experience an aha! when they let go of their off-irrational inhibitions, real or imaginary.

Pilessness

A state of temporary psychological relief among math-anxious folks when they are not exposed to the sound or sight of the number π, which could inhibit or numb their interactions with others at birthday parties or public meetings.

Guesstimate how many millions of working adults worldwide wished that Pi Day didn’t exist, when pilessness is at its lowest than on any other day of the year.
