Timeshitting

Timesheeting at a public toilet. When a public toilet cleaner ticks off their daily assigned tasks at regular intervals, while reporting any defect or breakdown, on a washroom inspection card.
The poor sanitary conditions at most public toilets worldwide shows that most janitors pay lip service to timeshitting, who are often pissed off by the inconsiderate behaviors of some members of the public, such as squatting with their dirty shoes on the toilet bowl, failing to flush the toilet after use, and stealing toilet rolls.

Coffining

Punishing someone who refuses to wear a mask by making them lie in an open coffin, or forcing them to dig graves for Covid-19 victims, if they refuse to pay a fine or to do community service, such as cleaning public toilets and acting as a scarecrow under the hot sun for hours.
Some couples, who aren’t scared of coffining, are deliberately not wearing a face mask, so that they’d have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get intimate inside a fake coffin.

Pi Dance

When the three parts that make up the number π decide to perform a Michael Jackson’s moonwalk in front of a geeky audience.
With three permissible orientations of the legs (/, |, \), show that there are at most six possible movements of the pi dance.

The Wokenization of Singapore Math

When white Christian nationalists or ultra-MAGA patriots subscribe to the radical pedagogy that adopting (or adapting part of) the Singapore math curriculum would only adulterate theirs, because exposing local students to alien problem-solving strategies and heuristics under the guise of multicultural math or ethnomathematics would only give undue credit to foreign curriculum math specialists and publishers.
A number of white or “woke” curriculum censors are covertly working hand in hand with American textbook publishers to push for the wokenization of Singapore math, with both parties having a vested interest to ensure that dear inch-deep-mile-wide K–12 math textbooks rather than value-for-money foreign math titles inundate as many states and local schools as possible.

What’s Pi Thinking?

When the irrational number π is paranoid or petrified that some radical elements of the mathematical brethren might conspire together to promote other mathematical constants like e and 𝛷 in gracing the pages of reputable math journals on a regular basis.
A few notable constants have discreetly approached some Fields medalists (the equivalent of Nobel Prize winners in mathematics) in their dreams by revealing to them some of their sexy numerical and geometric secrets after hearing leaked news of “what’s pi thinking?”

Numerical Vanity

When superstitious (or arguably vain) people would dearly bid for items like car plates, phone numbers, and house units that display “auspicious” or “lucky” numbers, or a string of “patternful” digits.
Guesstimate how many million bucks the digital or numerical vanity business is worth every year in Asia and the Middle East.

Cryptomath

When creatives help generate revenue from the sales of math NFTs for nonprofits to fight world hunger, poverty, and innumeracy around the world.
Ian wants his success in cryptomath to inspire more artists and educators to creatively use math to help raise the mathematical proficiency or quantitative literacy of their fellow citizens.
