I don't get it. What is this referring to?
of course you don't.
it's just illustrating why math is useless beyond the basics. this is something that every 6th grader figures out on their own but is then lectured by math nerds on how wrong they are. the same sorts of people who insist that we'll leave the solar system sometime in the next 34093840348 years because of math.
the same people who design doors on a tesla that can't be opened in normal circumstances and roast passengers in raging infernos.
that's all math, and none of it it funny unless you're laughing at math.
The funny thing about this comment is that, having read the other comments, I know that you’re extrapolating ridiculous things about a field of study that helps enable modern life from a simple game. But if I hadn’t read them, I would still know that you’re extrapolating ridiculous things about a field of study that enables modern life, but I would also still be wondering what the hell these Tetris looking squares have to do with anything! You failed to even address the question you’re responding to!
