      I’m not sure about the top one. He could be saying everyone is living a life of sin (like 402 said).

      The bottom one is definitely saying he lives an odd life because that’s literally an odd function. i.e.

      f(-x) = -f(x) for all x

      First function is a sine wave, commonly written sin().

      Second function is a cubic (“square”?) polynomial.

      Joke:

      Everyone else’s life: Sin.

      My life: Square.

      Edit: as pointed out, it’s not really square

        I got “everyone else’s life has ups and downs, mine is just up, up, UP!” from the graphs 🤷‍♂️

        It’s not square, though, but cubed. x^2 looks very different. And 2 isn’t an odd number (see title.)

        But if the lower diagram was x^2 (and the axis were labelled correctly) I’d say that’s a proper joke 😃

            I like your joke better 😆 However… If the x-axis was time, you’d have to explain the negative part to me. Or stop at least at -9 months…

      The axis aren’t labeled properly. That’s likely why we can’t make sense of the diagrams.

      Everyone elses life oscillates over time between positive and negative… OP’s life’s Y is X cubed. And it somehow contains big blue dots on the whole numbers… They consider that odd. And I’d agree.
