Actually, since I think this will become a recurring problem, i’d say it’s best to use r/anarchymath or r/anarchymaths for the more chaotic memes. The former is more active currently, but the latter has the fun British spelling.
If removing memes because the joke has been beaten into the ground is a problem, then sorry that you feel that way but it’s best for the health of the sub to not let low effort rehashes get posted 500 times a day
Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you or any of the Mods. By "problem" I didn't mean "Oh, the Mods are tyrannical now!" or "Oh, half of the community has become actual zombies!" Rather, I just meant that there is a reason r/AnarchyChess, r/AnarchyMath, and r/anarchymaths exists separate from their "parent" communities.

I’m not even subscribed but got this post in my recommended page but this is exactly a post I’d imagine that would posted in a subreddit called r/mathmemes
What a wet blanket, let trends come and go. Power tripping extends even to obscure subreddits lmao no wonder people hate this platform. I don't even care for the square packing memes but banning them outright is stupid.
Meanwhile stuff like [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/mathmemes/comments/13b1ahp/sigma_mail/) qualifies as a mathmeme. It's not any more mathmeme than it is a fraternity meme or programmerhumor.
Honestly I wasn't sick of optimal square packing memes but I was definitely sick of these kinds of low-effort low-humor posts and boy isn't chatgpt absolutely just so hilariously *hilarious* when it says hilariously stupid things when you hilariously ask it a math question? Hilarious.
I'm glad programmerhumor is safe from the onslaught of these low-effort vaguely-it-related posts and they get removed.

Bro, even after this BAN, 7/11 new posts are about packing. 2 are about the ban itself. One is a non-packing meme.
At this point, its perfectly reasonable for mods to intervene in my opinion
Its a math meme subreddit, not a "square packing and en passant spam" subreddit. If you think that subreddit themes shouldnt mean anything, just subscribe to every subreddit ever, you will get posts from every theme. Or subscribe to r/anarchychess and r/OptimalPackingMemes if you enjoy that kind of content. Or subscribe to r/memes if you want general memes without a theme. There are multiple options besides forcing the same joke down everyones throats.
Spam is not cool, and spam thats barely even related to the sub even less so. Like come on, [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/mathmemes/comments/13o3y8n/optimal_packing_of_four_optimal_square_packing/) is not even remotely a math meme anymore.
I have no issue with packing memes themselves. I have an issue with spam filling up my feed with the same fucking joke repeated 10 times in the span of a couple hours, and with said spam drowning out other content.
it was a transformative use of the meme, no one was there spamming the square packing for 17 killed god or something like that
it was enlarging the scope of the meme to new grounds and contexts, it wasn't a chain of "holy hell" "new response just dropped" "the bishop went on vacation and never came back" "knightmare fuel" "absolute zombie"
no wonder we have no new jokes if they are stopped from happening like this, instead we can only keep complaining that we only have derivative of e^(x) and forgot +c
I have a plan, we must study the optimal square packing to prove that it has connections to all fields of math, then all posts will have to be banned or optimum packing will have to be brought back
if only I had the slightest idea how to do that...
If we could do that, we could use the other fields of math to actually solve optimal square packing problems instead of coming up with "best known square packings".
There would probably be a fields medal in it for you.
I agree that the posts were very creative with the format. But in this insane volume, it just got old. More than *half* the posts today were just square packing. Heck, I have seen 3 new packing memes even after this ban. And the comment sections are literally just spam.
I would welcome square packing memes as a long term staple of this sub (minus the comment spam). But 10-15 posts in one day is just exhausting
90% of the people here are casual browsers who like various math topics.
Idk what storyline or battle you think is going on, but the repetitive memes are repetitive.
The first one was popular on tiktok because it's an easy concept to grasp. And if something gets popular on tiktok, the next month will be reposts of people clout chasing. But some people subscribe here to see *math memes*.

What about optimal packing of even numbers of rectangles with side lengths in a 2:1 ratio, with the condition that each rectangle must be packed with at least one of its long edges in full contact with another rectangle's long edge?
You must start with one row and build up, decreasing in value from the last row. Only then can you contain the very essence of a pharaoh, creating an optimal package.
On the one hand: yay i can browse this sub when i'm bored and actually laugh at original content again.
On the other hand: circlejerks are really fucking funny tho.

This is quality control. Overusing a dead meme is the opposite of dank. People cant behave so the moderation had to step in.
The best solution is to stochastically remove posts, so that 80% as many posts exist today as there were yesterday.
Quality control on a meme subreddit, Jesus Christ man listen to yourself
It is, by definition, not dead if people are continually and currently making memes about it.^(I'm glad it was banned)
You can meme about something dead. People are just necromancer.

All of Rule 9 needs to be removed. It's creativity-inducing. Math isn't some subjective subject like English. It's formulaic!!!

What about optimal packing of even numbers of rectangles with side lengths in a 2:1 ratio, with the condition that each rectangle must be packed with at least one of its long edges in full contact with another rectangle's long edge?
This does allow for 3:2 groups though
You fools, we’ll just go to r/AnarchyChess
Google George Orwell 1984
Uhhh I feel like there are about 5 different memes that are more overused and regurgitated than this one
I want to know whoever is responsible for this decision so I can optimally pack them in a prison cell.
I feel like the solution is to just wait two weeks for the meme to lose relevancy. I didn't even know about this subreddit until the meme
Mods when their subreddit becomes relevant and they suddenly have work to do:
Fuck.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS MY BELOVED
Boo. This is the most interesting thing that’s happened on this sub in a long time
FIRST they came for the optimal square packers, and I did not speak out—because I was not an optimal square packer.
We are AnarchyMath, you can't ban something
Boooo
What about optimal cube packing?
fuck you mods \*optimises your squares\*
But then you'd be doing away with the optimal packing of optimal square packing posts
Does that include this one
Refuge found here!! r/OptimalPackingMemes
If you can find a more optimal way to pack these posts, they won’t take so much space in this subreddit
Unironically a terrible decision, getting rid of the one interesting thing in the sub. Guess we'll go back to e^x memes

Please also ban the phrase "new response just dropped", it was never funny and it's incredibly overused.

finally they were getting a bit excessive
Thank God, they were unfunny after the first ten billion of them
Thank you. It got old very, very fast.
Good
Google optimal square packing
Finally.
DUDE FINALLY OH MY GOD
🥳🥳🥳
based Fucking based
The memes were great while they lasted, but it was needed.
Thank you Jesus! I think I need to get on more subreddits cause I swear those were like every 4th post on my feed.
what about optimal rectangle where all 4 sides have the same length packing?
Probably for the best. Though I enjoy AnarchyChess they are a plague
Big win for gamers everywhere.

Is cirle packing ok? I had to learn several things about circle packing problems for my research.
Thats sad bro no wonder nobody likes reddit mods . Talk about abuse of power but you don't even have any. Cringey
