One day it'll come up

If you use nothing from school then you’re going about life wrong. Reach higher.

Im basically a mathematician and never use trigonometry, but I use a lot of probability and statistics every day at work.

It's also a day without using anything he learned in art, or geography, or chemistry, or English literature, or history, or pretty much anything he studied in school after age 10. Why does math get singled out?

I literally, 30 seconds ago, used sin^-1() to calculate the angle for a roof I need to make for my indoor greenhouse, so the asshole cats don't fall through the cheap plastic

You're literally using a device powered by electricity that extensively relies on an understanding, implementation and exploitation of sinusoidal maths.
- Ah, the irony of operating a video compression algorithm while claiming you never use trigonometry.

I make games. I use this shit daily.
- You're also technically using them if you merely play games. Edit: You also use cos when making or viewing a jpg, so the author of the meme did in-fact use at least cos on that day.
- I don't remember where, but I actually had to use some sin func for calculating something to play more efficient.

I had a maths teacher who upon being asked, whats the point in maths? Or whenever he heard I'm not going to use this in the rest of my life! Would break into a ten minute speech. You have to study maths because what it is at it's core is just doing the same thing over and over again with slight variations. -more waffle I can't remember- and after school you will go off to some job where you do the same thing over and over again where you will spend the next 60 years of your life. And then you die.
It got quite depressing.
