This popular internet meme utilizes the "Never ask X about Y" format, typically listing common social taboos or sensitive topics. The humor comes from the third panel, which introduces a less conventional, often niche, or absurd "forbidden" question.
In this version, the first two panels reference not asking a man his salary or a woman her age, illustrated with anime characters (identified by some as potentially from Shenmue). The punchline features an image of a man and the text "a mathematician the product of two large, random numbers."
This pokes fun at the computational difficulty or perhaps the sheer tediousness involved in such a task for a mathematician, equating it humorously to the social awkwardness of discussing salary or age.
It's a relatable joke for anyone who understands the complexities of large-number arithmetic or perhaps cryptography concepts where factoring large numbers is key, presented in a universally recognized meme structure.
