hi

The Little Dark Age was once again taken down, nothing I can do. It is how it is.

Also, this video was inspired by "Sooprkz" on YouTube!

Average ZF fan: “NOO, YOU CAN'T JUST PICK AN ITEM OUT OF AN ARBITRARY NON-EMPTY SET”

I was expecting the topologist to pull a donut out of the microwave.

*Explanation*
If you see this meme in recommended, you probably understand this video already, but just in case:
Number theory - although not entirely, number theory focuses mostly on integers (Fermat's last theorem and his little theorem, both important, are in terms of integers, modulo calculus is done over integers, analysis of prime numbers and their properties is also analysis of integers, even though Riemann's hypothesis, studied in number theory and defined over complex numbers, could be used to discover their properties). The joke is that they act as if other numbers don't even exist.
Algebra-one of the biggest aspects of algebra is organizing sets and operations in families of different algebraic structures, one of which is a field (also important for vector spaces, if you studied linear algebra, but not "pure" algebra). The joke is is just play on the "you need to touch grass" meme.
Combinatorics - an area of maths that literally focuses on counting, but in a broad sense (how many combinations of sets/multisets there are, how many permutations there are etc)
Logic - this one could also be approached from the set theory side, but since modern set theory is basically pure mathematical logic, it makes sense. Ever since the Russell paradox was found and the definition of sets became more robust, set theory refuses to take any claim for granted, however trivial it may be (besides a couple of axioms, called ZF axioms). The axiom of choice, which stated that, if you have infinitely many non-empty set, you can choose one element out of all of them and create a new set, was and still is a debated idea in set theory. Most of the work is done on ZF + axiom of choice (ZFC for short) set of axioms, but some set theorists are not happy about that.
Topology-this is a well known "meme" in topology: since both a donut and a mug have only one hole in them, they are topologically the same (don't ask me to define a hole in topology, just watch a gif of mug becoming a donut)
Statistics - one of the backbones of statistical analysis is the p-value of certain statistical tests, used for showcasing how good your conclusions are. The p-value needs to be as small as possible, usually kept less than 5%, even though that is often not good enough and can cause false interpretations and conclusion. "Not significant" is also a phrase used in statistics, usually when the statistical analysis shows that something is (not) similar to a certain degree, often also measured in p-values (if you have two groups of 30 people, and the one has the average height of 180cm, while the other one has the average height of 181cm, if the standard deviation is big enough, this difference in not statistically significant). The joke is just a play on words peepee.
Analysis (real and complex, not statistical) - Jacobian is a special "tool" used, among other things, in determining the slope of a graph of a function across multiple dimensions. So, you can use them to find the slope/direction of decline (decrease) of mental health. This is also playing on the idea that analysis is pretty hard, and that people hate their lives when studying it.
Geometry- Euclidian geometry has this idea that a proof needs to be done only using a unmarked ruler, a compass and a handful of axioms to actually make sense - abstract ideas are not welcome, even the simple, but extremely powerful ones like derivatives and, depending on some, even trigonometry. The joke is that they act all high and mighty, using constructive proofs based on pure human insight and understanding, while missing on tools also built on human insight, but a bit more abstract, that would make their lives much easier (i remember that even introducing coordinate system would make stuff 90% easier, but you are not allowed to do so).

0:25 that isnt even hard. My stress and anxiety levels are like e^x. You can take the derivative of it as many times as you want, the determinant of the matrix will always be r×(stress^2+anxiety^2).

Wait, topologists making breakfast is wrong! After microwaving a mug, the guy should have pulled out a donut.

that pp-value is too relatable. At times you want it to be high and you get something like 17 percent and then you want really low but you get 13 percent and then you just lose all hope in life
