Lonely LaTeX Account Sublimates Heartbreak Into Suggestive TikZ Surface Plots

Description

A screenshot captioned 'LaTeX account is thirsty af' showing a tweet from the verified LaTeX.org account (@TeXgallery). The tweet reads: 'It's Friday late at night. I walked with her online 30 years ago in a multi-user dungeon role-play game. Met her in a café in Hamburg 20 years ago. I had too much wine tonight. Should I call her? Text her? I'm plotting functions in TikZ to distract myself.' Below is a browser window at latexguide.org/why/ showing TikZ/pgfplots source code (an \addplot3 surf command with faceted interp shading and parametric exponential/trigonometric expressions like 0.1*exp(-1*(y-0.8)^2/0.6) and ra(y,x)*cos(2*pi*x)), an orange 'TYPESET / COMPILE' button, and the rendered output: two pink-gradient 3D mesh surface plots whose curvature unmistakably resembles a feminine lower body. The humor combines the melancholy oversharing of a niche tooling account with the realization that the mathematically defined surfaces are deliberately suggestive - peak sublimation of loneliness into parametric equations

    Thirty years of emotional latency, and the render still completes before he sends the text.
