You can go read the Wikipedia article if you want to understand "that" part... I guess, idk, go fuck yourself!!!

Some YouTube math video about lambda calculus, the asshole casually said "you can check the Wikipedia article" on an aspect that didn't fit inside his 10-minute video. As if Wikipedia didn't frustrate even professional mathematicians themselves, with the obtuse exposition and a thousand notations and citations.

Fortunately, there are other math educators on YouTube.
On the topic of lambda calculus, search for this title:
PLUS times PLUS

It's wild stuff! It's as if like math is like a shirt, and lambda calculus pulls one arm inside out, there are some weird logical seams in math when you use different tools with the same numbers.

Ooh ooh look at me! I can break statistical mechanics and CPT symmetries inside my mind!

Well... since most of the big ones are taken, I'll throw in:
"Tu madre era una hamster, y tu padre olía a saúco."

EDIT: Actually, now that I remember, the Spanish from Spain have some breathtaking insults, such as:
"Me cago en la leche de tu madre" - "I shit in your mother's milk".

The way those letters flowed or stumbled into that particular combination... entropy in action.

Then there's also in a sibling desert religion how "40 figs" became "40 virgins" and nobody remembers when or how it happened... or even that the switch happened, at all.
