A Venn diagram with two overlapping circles. The left circle (blue) is labeled "RAP MUSIC" and the right circle (yellow) is labeled "DISCRETE MATHEMATICS." An arrow points to the green overlapping region in the middle, labeled "FREQUENT USE OF THE PHRASE 'FOR REALS.'" The joke is the double meaning: rappers say "for reals" (meaning seriously), while mathematicians say "for the reals" (referring to real numbers). Votey: a single panel showing a bearded man wearing glasses, gesturing, with a speech bubble reading "x² + 1 IS ALWAYS POSITIVE FOR REALS." A caption below reads "* RAPPERS ALL WEAR SUNGLASSES, RIGHT?" implying the math statement (true for real numbers) doubles as rap-style slang.
