We know that math has a bad reputation for being the most hated school subject by the average kid, but the truth is, a lot of big-brained geeks out there are obsessed with numbers and equations—and there's plenty of reason to be! Without math, we never could have sent rockets into space. We would never know how much to tip a bartender, let alone split a check between a group of ten. Without math, we'd probably be cold, confused, and sitting around eating dirt all day. Don't ask me why, I just have a feeling that's what a math-less society would look like. We're celebrating math with this dank collection of hilarious math memes. Unless you're a math enthusiast, you probably won't understand half of these, but at least you can laugh at them in front of your friends to look smart.

High school math teachers are always talking about how wonderful and useful algebraic equations are, but I bet if teachers told their students they could use math for epic punchlines or to totally own people online, the kids would pay closer attention in class. Whether you're a huge math nerd or you love to see people drop witty comments they obviously spent way too long crafting, you'll surely be into these internet moments of smartassery. r/theydidthemath is a goldmine of mathematical zingers, so be sure to check out the sub.
According to our timelines, pretty much everyone is a medical expert or scientist these days. These "experts" throw around knowledge that is factually untrue and sometimes even downright dangerous. And it's extremely satisfying when these wannabe Einsteins get schooled by actual professionals on social media. This gallery is full of that delicious dunking. We hope these numbskulls learned their lessons and maybe even starting cracking some actual books.
Doesn't it suck when you're in desperate need of a distraction but there's nothing jumping out to save you from that evil chore demanding your attention? No need to panic, because we've got the perfect excuse for you: mmmeeemmmeeesss! And if this list of dankness isn't enough, we've got even more memes here, here, and here.
Ever see someone drop some complicated stats in a post that make you wonder if the math checks out? Well some nerds out there will literally do the math to prove a point, calculate the internal physics of a meme, or just for the hell of it. Let's be real, most of us plebs hate math, but it sure is entertaining to catch someone else dropping some mathematical knowledge on the rest of us. We've got some amusing examples of brainiacs in the wild that did the math.
In this video, Cracked's Movie Math series explores the 1994 Christmas comedy The Santa Clause, in which Tim Allen plays a man who murders Santa Clause…and then becomes the jolly bearded giver of holiday gifts. The mathmeticians look into the math behind Santa's intense responsibilities, leaving everyone to wonder if Allen's character actually killed Santa or if he faked his own death to escape the actual torture of his benevolent duties.
Not a soul knows when schools will operate in-person again, so we thought we'd deliver you the next best thing to real education: educational memes. Okay, so admittedly they won't come anywhere close to the school experience, but at least they're more entertaining than school? Sure, we'll go with that.
Before you scroll down, we have to give the disclaimer that these memes are for people who actually understand math. So if you're 35 years old and haven't taken a math class since algebra II during your senior year of high school, then these might not be the memes for you.
If you're more of a science-y person, click here for that!
Listen, we can't claim to be mathmeticians. And we haven't been able to use the Pythagorean theorem since closing our math textbooks. But we know what odd and even numbers are. Unfortunately, according to this terrifying Tumblr thread, there are many people who can't say the same. Brace yourselves for some mind-boggling stupidity. And pray that schools are getting better. If the children are our future, we might be in trouble.
Any science enthusiast will likely find some amusement out of these memes. Whether you're a field researcher, a college student, or just a layperson who likes to nerd out over this stuff, there's something in here for you. Now go check out some physics-specific memes if you want more nerdy material!
We wish we had come up with these, but alas, we are certainly not clever enough. It''s alright though, we'll just leave it to these clever Tumblr-dwellers to come up with material that consistently makes us chuckle. If you want even more Tumblr posts to make you chuckle, you won't be left hanging.
We have to be honest with you all here: we don't really understand science. Like, at all. Regardless, we think all you science-inclined people deserve some humor tailored just for you. We hope you appreciate these nerdy memes, and click here for more geeky content!
