Math meme turns quadratic, cubic, and quartic formulas into a version-control joke
miniapeur · x · 2026-07-23
A math meme turns the quadratic, cubic, and quartic formulas into a joke about software version control.
- The meme shows the quadratic formula as “Upgrade,” the cubic formula as “Go back,” and the quartic formula as “I said go back.”
- The humor comes from the increasing complexity of the formulas versus the human impulse to escape them.
- It is a classic geek joke with clear share value.
