People on the internet have been freaking out over a cover of an algebra textbook.
It's not because they seem to be smiling, despite studying algebra. Nope. It's far more sinister and inexplicable even than that.
Kill it with fire!!
You spot it? Yep, the textbook appears to show a picture of the students holding the textbook showing a picture of the students holding a textbook showing... you get the idea.
And it's scaring the sh*t out of people.
how the fuck are they already on the textbook if theyre posing for it pic.twitter.com/fkpP9HTWnk

And confusing the hell out of other people. People who haven't heard of photoshop.
@riarklerise SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME DID THEY LIKE USE GREENSCREEN FOR THE BOOKS OR SOMETHING

It can't be green screen, Andy Serkis would have been involved.
@doctorsIoan IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE

Others asked the guy who initially tweeted it to explain the whole thing, so that people won't stay up all night soiling themselves in fear.
@riarklerise they're holding on to a different edition of the textbook with a slightly different picture. RT so people can sleep at night

Others realised how it was done, but didn't realise that maths students learned about time travel so early.
@riarklerise @andrewpfister I don't think they cover the time travelers paradox until Algebra II

And there are rumours that sometimes, when you least suspect it, the pictures begin to move....
@riarklerise @KitRants They read the book and then divided by zero. They'll never escape the book now. Sometimes you can see them scream.

Mainly people just dismissed the whole thing as a "maths thing I'll have no part of".
@riarklerise @sivanbabie reason 91272837382 why math makes no sense

We may never know how this actually happened. All we know is that somewhere out there there are five demons from another dimension studying maths who need to be killed with fire.
Loved this? You’ll love these freebies even more.
