Mine is that some people don’t consider viruses alive. These people are fucking stupid because giruses exist as do virophages. Like yes unalive things literally hunting other unalive things totally makes sense.

You remember the quadratic formula that you used in high school to solve 2nd degree polynomial equations? The reason it exists is because 2 is the only number whose factorial is prime (2! = 2).
Most people don’t learn it in high school but there is also a cubic formula for 3rd degree equations. The reason it exists is because if you have an equilateral triangle with labeled vertices and you decide to randomly shuffle the vertices, the resulting triangle will be a rotation or reflection of the original triangle, and no other polygon does that.
A 4th degree formula exists, but it’s too large to be convenient to use. The reason it exists is because the non regular polygon with the smallest sides that has more than one reflection symmetry is the rectangle, which has 4 sides.
Galois theory is full of weird coincidences like that. Also there is no formula for degrees 5 and above and there never will be because there is no coincidences like these with the numbers 5 and above, and I personally think that is really interesting.
