Chomsky hierarchy Memes

Computer science theory professors be like: "It's so obvious, just follow along!" Then they hit you with formal language proofs that make calculus look like kindergarten arithmetic. The meme shows the classic "Gru's Plan" format but with formal language theory notation. Gru confidently sets up variables and constraints, then has that moment of confusion when he realizes he's just proven the language isn't regular - which is probably the opposite of what he was trying to prove. For the uninitiated: formal language theory is where computer scientists torture themselves by proving properties of languages using mathematical notation that looks like someone face-planted on a keyboard. Regular languages are the simplest type in the Chomsky hierarchy, and proving a language is not regular is a rite of passage that makes students question their life choices.
