Nothing makes me regret my major more than having to study the portion of my major that does not relate to what I'm going to do

Kerbal Space Program was once afflicted by a bug the fans dubbed the "Deep Space Kraken", whereby if you travelled far enough from the origin of the game's coordinate system, floating point rounding errors would cause your spacecraft's components to become misaligned and/or clip into each other, resulting in the craft falling apart or exploding for no obvious reason.
The bug was later fixed by defining the active spacecraft itself as the origin of the game's coordinate system. In effect, the spacecraft no longer moves; instead, the spacecraft remains stationary and the entire universe moves around it. Owing to how relativity works, to the player this is indistinguishable from the spacecraft moving about within a fixed coordinate system, and it ensures that the body of the craft and its components will always be modelled with maximal precision.
While elegant, this solution introduced a new problem: it was now possible, by doing certain stupid tricks with relativistic velocities, to introduce floating point rounding errors to everything except the active spacecraft. In extreme cases, this could result in the destruction of the entire observable universe.
Some might call this one of those situations where the solution proves to be worse than the problem. I call it a perfect expression of what Kerbal Space Program is truly about.

Tbf she has, according to The Lore about Togruta headbands, killed a carnivorous giant predator that regularly decimates entire villages, at fourteen, as her coming of age hunt.
Granted, this is legends, but...

Problem: Maths (& Physics) have too many cases where a symbol is used, confusingly, to mean multiple different things, leading to ambiguity and headaches. Sensible solution: Use a key or just simply clarify the meaning in context, so v here is velocity, or v here is an arbitrary vector, or v here is specifically final velocity, or v here is the harmonic function for the complex part of a complex function f(z) for the purposes of the Cauchy-Riemann & Laplacian equations, or v here is the potential V(x) differentiated with respect to time (yes i have seen this once, it was disgusting). My solution: add new characters. invent new scripts. steal syllabaries, acquire abjads, and abduct alphabets until we have enough squiggly lines to give literally everything its own unique symbol. This will help nobody and ruin everything. I will not rest until I am doing theoretical physics with these bad boys:

[Image ID: The 120 base Sitelen Pona of Toki Pona. They are simple, black and white, cartoonish, almost child-like drawings that act as logographic characters for the base words of the conlang Toki Pona. Each one has its corresponding name/word in Latin script beneath. End ID] Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Math
Geologist: I do more math than you might think
Chemist: I mean, chemical equations are basically mathematical equations. If you think about it (I also do math math)
Physicist: Oh, yeah, it’s all math but we just handwave it
Mathematician: YOU DO WHAT!?
Quantum Physicist: *regularly does math that is literally beyond human comprehension* *now resides in a higher plane of existence*
Engineer: If I don’t do this math correctly PEOPLE WILL DIE
Military Scientist: If I don’t do this math correctly PEOPLE WILL SURVIVE
Topologist: If I don’t do this math correctly PEOPLE WILL BE MOSTLY UNAFFECTED
Philosopher: But what even IS math, really? No seriously, what is it?
Organic Chemist: I kinda forgot how to do math, to be honest
Biologist: I literally only chose this field so I wouldn’t have to do as much math. I love stamp collecting
Biostatistician: wtf
