Incidentally, when I saw the “LSUSR WAS HERE”, I said “I’m not sure I believe it, because lsusr seems like the sort of person who would encourage other people to write that.”
I didn’t understand anything I read, but I sure enjoyed reading it, to the point of laughing out loud after the fact. I’m not quite sure if that was the intended experience here (though if I can take the “supposed to be a puzzle” line at face value, I guess it is). But if so, well done :).
This was really interesting. Mapping the bits I understood (which was minimal) to the bits I didn’t was fun, but also the style of writing for even the bits I didn’t understand was entertaining
the number which had been excised is called θ. Θ is...
...
Θ∉{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}
-> From what I can tell these are three different depictions of the “theta” character. It may not be feasible to get down to just one, as the second line is in LaTeX, but it should be possible to get down to two.

Are… are you doing okay?

did you… click on publish instead of save draft?

Yeah, my reaction to this was “you could have done a much better job of explaining the context” but:
That was me, so I guess my opinion hasn’t changed.
If this is accurate, then you’re weirder in person (relative to in-person baseline) than you are on the internet (relative to internet baseline).
Can confirm that this is all accurate. Some of it is much less weird in context. Some of it is much, much weirder in context.
Ok but what’s the takeaway for us who do not know the context?
I used to believe the world made sense. April finally broke my credulity.

This was hillarious, very fun to read.
Strong-upvoted for reminding me how much I miss teaching/tutoring.
Typo:

I assumed it was intentionally capitalized where it begins a sentence.
Oh, good point.
