Toilet App

An app for those who need a sense of peace or tranquillity while they are doing their business, by listening to some soothing or classical music, wise biblical verses or warnings, or worldly advice from successful businesspersons or celebrities.

The subscription-based version of the toilet app not only feeds you with daily spiritual and worldly nuggets from the best brains around the globe, but also tells you which clean or dirty public toilets in your vicinity still have advertisement space to promote your products or services.

The Number of the Feast

When environmentalists are debating what percents of someone’s income must be spent on food to avoid food wastage, while alleviating global poverty—they argue that food is too cheap to provide sufficient income for small farmers, who are the world’s poorest or hungriest people.

The Pinocchio-in-Chief wanted to boast about his skin-deep knowledge about the number of the beast to his MAGA evangelical donors, but they ended up talking about the number of the feast instead.

Pitrepreneur

A math educator or geek who plans to turn their passion or obsession for the number π into cash.

Be it via newly coined pi-related definitions, factoids, and jokes on mugs and T-shirts; pop math books on or about pi for dummies, idiots, and morons; or pi NFTs and PiCoins, Prof. Ian, a self-professed pitrepreneur, wants to turn his geeky passion into obscene profits.

≤ and ≥

Two inequality or “woke math” symbols, formed by the portmanteau symbols for the equals (=) symbol and the less than (<) and greater than (>) signs—they are read as “less than or equal to” and “greater than or equal to.”

When ≤ and ≥ are brought together, they look like ≤≥.

Algebra

The branch of mathematics that turns simple-minded people into symbol-minded citizens, who work out the values of unknowns x’s, y’s, z’s with the help of constants a’s, b’s, c’s.

Algebra helps students to move from the particular to the general, by enabling them to speak the language of science so that they’d make sense of the workings of the universe.

Pi Awakening

When an oft-semi-innumerate lay public realize that the number π has so much more to offer in terms of mathematical beauty or metamathematics (or mathematical philosophy), which allows them to experience sporadic aha moments, other than what they had boringly learned about the constant in school.

Going by the increasing number of pop math titles on pi published by math educators of different nationalities in different places, it can be arguably posited that there is presently a post-pandemic pi awakening sweeping the planet, much to the delight of both recreational and amateur mathematicians.

1 + 1 ≠ 2

The mathematical equivalent of an answered prayer, such as being healed of an incurable disease or chronic sickness; seeing a business, financial, or relationship breakthrough; and helping others deliver from demonic oppression or sexual addiction in the name of Jesus Christ.

In the spiritual realm, mathematical equations in the natural world no longer hold true thanks to supernatural forces: 1 + 1 ≠ 2, 1 + 1 + 1 = 1, …, 2 + 5 = 5000, π = 3.
