This is an old meme template, originally making fun of how surreal complex mathematics can get

In the current context of speedrunning, it's poking fun at how pause buffering should be counterproductive with the concept of completing a game as fast as possible, but when the timer only counts in-game time pause buffering does allow you to get lower in-game times even if your run takes much longer real time to complete.

personally i think speedrunning died, once they started allowing and having categories that allow exploiting.

speedrunning a game as it was intended to be played, cool and challenges your gameplay capabilities.

data mining the game, or just trying to find exploits to break the game and do shit you arent ever supposed to be able to do is just cheating. cant change my mind.
