Why did the decimal break up with the percent?
It couldn't deal with the pressure of always being compared!
Why This Joke Works
Percentages exist specifically to compare values (scores, statistics, discounts), so being perpetually compared is the percent's whole identity. The decimal escaping a comparison-obsessed partner is a very relatable relationship dynamic dressed up in math vocabulary.
