Statisticians have the audacity to claim they can predict the future with numbers. I can't even predict what I'm having for dinner tonight, let alone foresee the outcome of an entire population based on a sample size. I once took a statistics class, and the professor said, "Statistics is like a bikini – what it reveals is suggestive, but what it conceals is vital." I'm sitting there thinking, "Is this a math class or a fashion show?" I just want to pass the exam; I don't need life lessons from a statistician-turned-philosopher.
And then there's correlation versus causation. Just because two things happen at the same time doesn't mean one caused the other. I ate ice cream and the stock market crashed – correlation or causation? Probably just a coincidence, but I'm not taking any chances. I'm switching to frozen yogurt.
In conclusion, statistics may be the only science where 99% confidence is still not enough to convince me to trust the results. I'll stick to predicting the future the old-fashioned way – by reading my horoscope and hoping for the best.

Let's talk about calculus. Whoever invented calculus must have had too much time on their hands. I mean, who wakes up one day and says, "You know what the world needs? A whole new way to torture students!" I remember sitting in my calculus class, and the teacher says, "The limit does not exist." And I'm thinking, "Neither does my understanding of this subject." Mean Girls warned us about the limit, but they forgot to mention the derivative drama.
And don't even get me started on integrals. It's like trying to solve a puzzle, but all the pieces are different shapes, and half of them are missing. I swear, mathematicians are just playing Sudoku on a whole other level.
I tried to use calculus in real life once. I was at a party, and someone asked me to calculate the rate at which the chips were being eaten. I told them I needed a controlled environment, a graphing calculator, and at least three reference points. Needless to say, I wasn't invited to many parties after that.

You know you're in a serious relationship when you start arguing about math. It's like, forget about discussing the future or your feelings – we're debating the proper application of the Pythagorean theorem. My partner and I had a disagreement the other day. They said, "Love is like an exponential growth curve." I said, "No, love is like a roller coaster – it has its ups and downs, and sometimes you feel like you're going to throw up."
And what's with all the math-related pickup lines? "Are you a math problem? Because you're making my head spin." Yeah, and you're giving me a headache. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I prefer a simple, "Hi, how are you?" over a complicated equation any day.
But let's be real, relationships are all about compromise. So now, instead of saying, "I love you to the moon and back," we express our love using set theory. It's romantic until someone starts talking about intersecting sets and Venn diagrams, and suddenly, love feels more like a math test.

You ever notice how math is like a secret language? I mean, seriously, it's like mathematicians are a part of some exclusive club, and the rest of us are just trying to figure out the password. I was terrible at math in school. My teacher would say, "If Johnny has three apples and gives one to Sally, how many apples does Johnny have left?" And I'd be in the back of the class like, "Wait, are we assuming Johnny doesn't eat any apples in the process? Is Sally allergic? Do apples even exist in this hypothetical universe?"
I feel like mathematicians are magicians. They pull these equations out of thin air, and suddenly, they've solved the mysteries of the universe. I'm over here struggling to calculate a 15% tip at a restaurant. I just round up and hope for the best. If the waiter gets a little extra, consider it a math tax.
And what's the deal with imaginary numbers? I can barely wrap my head around real numbers, and now you're telling me there are numbers that don't even exist? I feel like I'm in a math-themed episode of the Twilight Zone.
But hey, I've come up with my own math trick. It's called "Mathemagic." It's when you magically make your math homework disappear by convincing your dog to eat it. It's foolproof, except for that one time my dog actually ate my report card. Turns out, even dogs can't digest an F in algebra.
