Covid-💩

When the number of toilet visits by millions of people on quarantine or lockdown surged exponentially, as many consumed more than what they needed, thus generating tonnes of extra shit.

Guesstimate how many tonnes of poo were produced during the April–June lockdowns due to Covid-💩 in most developed countries.

St Paul’s Church, Mauritius

A Spirit-led Anglican church on the paradise island of the dodos that has punched above its spiritual weight—a multicultural community whose impact has touched many lives through its caring, healing, and deliverance ministries, and social outreach works like hospital and prison visitations and free tuition.

St Paul’s Church, Mauritius is like salt and light to many locals, who are often disillusioned and demoralized by decades-long corruption, communalism, and compromises plaguing the nation—it offers them hope, while reminding them that God is their Vindicator, who sees all the wrongs and injustices they face, and who can’t wait to shower them with His love and peace that the world cannot give nor understand.

Mathematic’s books

The best (mis)use of an apostrophe spotted outside a city bookstore in mainland China.

An English tourist (who is a linguist professor back home) was reported to have experienced a seconds-long stroke on seeing the “Mathematic’s books” classification, and the cashier on seeing her customer’s dizziness immediately jumped to her rescue.

Pi Politics

The use of different values for the irrational number π to poke fun at the differing polarized views parroted by mostly hypothetical or morally bankrupt politicians in the land of senseless deaths, which occur practically every day due to zero public ban on guns.

An example of pi politics among ultra-MAGA voters is:

Trump: π = 22/7 (because it is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle).

Pence: π = 3 (because the Bible tells me so).

DeSantis: π = x, where x is awaiting final approval by “woke” censors.

Piccinated

When someone has accidentally been jabbed with a dosage that is almost π times the recommended value.

An 80-year-old immunocompromised patient—who has been in ICU for over a week—was found to have been piccinated by a pro-Trump anti-vax nurse, who apparently misread the figures on the label.

Rainbow Math Publishing

When math publishers pretend to be inclusive, by supporting LBGT students, teachers, and parents, when their motive is getting them to buy more of their oft-half-edited pricier titles.

Guesstimate how many gay and trans mathematicians and math educators are being taken for a ride by rainbow math publishing nationwide.

Empithy

When you put yourself in the shoes of the irrational number π, by understanding and sharing her feelings, who has constantly been badmouthed or backstabbed by fellow numerical constants, who can’t stand her fame in both math and pop culture.

Out of envy or jealousy, irrationals like e, 𝜙, and √2 are notoriously known for their zero empithy.
