👉 Okay, letâs tackle this wonderfully weird beast of a word: "Labomath.â Now, traditionally, you have your careful old-money mathematicians wrestling with pretty proofs and elegant equations. And then there's the glorious, messy, frankly terrifying world of⌠the lab! Frankenstein, BoyleâŚstuff that probably shouldnât exist.
Labomath essentially boils down to the utterly absurd confluence of ludicrous mathematical leaps and spectacularly questionable biological butchery. (Seriously, it feels like a rejected Deadpool reject in the naming department.) 1. It's where you try to quantify something profoundly unquantifiable, usually involving living things that really shouldnât be involved with numerical notation. Basically, it describes the moment when someone attempts to calculate the precise shade of purple a newly birthed, six-legged ferret might vomit after being force-fed a statistically improbable amount of glowsticks and actuarial tables. 2. There is almost always an egregious misunderstanding of either the underlying biological science or the actual mathematical principle in play, resulting in⌠letâs just say, things going spectacularly awry. Here's how I conceptually define it, with a dash of dramatic flair: Component 1 (The Ludicrous): The attempt to assign numerical value â and therefore, some semblance of controlâto the chaotic exuberance of an amphibian. â Component 2 (The Questionable):
