One day mathematicians will discover that mathematics is not made of rules. It is made of machines

Hey, check my calculations. I could be wrong, but is this approximation method 0.O000001% less effective than it

Was 150 years ago?

They are robust machines, but like all machines the more they are used, the more likely they are break.

Each discrete mathematical concept has a service life of roughly 1014 uses. As far as we can tell, only a few people can get modus poinens to work now, and several algorithms, such as "estimate cost of

Vacation" are entirely broken.

This led to rationing

Hey! Stop using the axiom of choice! You'll wear it out!

We decided to calculate the probability that logic would be repaired before it collapsed, taking the universe with it

Is it possible to do a monte carlo simulation to decide if monte carlo simulations work?

00

This broke probability

I flipped coin.

What was the result?

Portugal

We may have to cancel

D&d night.

Without predictable odds, the pattern of the universe unwove itself.

An unpredictable amount of time later, reality randomly returned to its earlier state.

Whoa. Okay. Never again.

New rule. All logic will simply be done with common sense.

Sadly common sense was a machine too and now you understand why other

People work the way they do.

And this car has front and rear

I'd be a fool

Not to pay double!

Spoilers,

It's an8 panel math joke.

I'm gonna go get a second job.
