  While I don’t necessarily understand the finer points of the meme, I couldn’t help but read the “Poynting vector” equation as “SEX B OVER MU” and I couldn’t figure out why sex is happening over a cow…

  I am a little stoned rn, so that may have something to do with that.

    I’m pretty sure it’s pronounced mü, not mew

      Which is pronounced…? English doesn’t have that character. Our closest analogue would be “mew.”

    None of those things are named after the properties the meme points out.

      Waow, it’s almost like you’re taking a stoned comment written in 10 seconds way too seriously.

    Poynting vector points towards the direction energy is going, if I recall correctly.

  I had ideas for math themed places:

  • Heaviside step function, a club
  • $\overline{the}$, a bar

    My alma mater had a café named Foo Bar in a computer science building

  Petition to rename the common words: boyling water, poynting towards things, and heavi weights.
