A new birthday card:

Then: “How about the infiniti of the primes?”
And this proof:
Theorem.
Infinitely many prime numbers exist.
Proof.
Suppose p1=2 < p2 = 3 < … < pr were all the primes that exist || Then imagine a number P = [(p1 * p2.. .pr – 1 * pr) + 1]. If it is a prime, we’ve proved our theorem. So for now, we’ll assume it isn’t. || Then let pa be a prime that evenly divides (ie: divides without a remainder) P. [All non-primes can be broken down into primes; so if P is not a prime, it has to be evenly divisible by prime numbers.] || Now pa can’t be any of the primes p1, p2, …, pr. [To see why: Suppose, for example, pa = p2 Then—remembering that P = [(p1 * p2.. .pr – 1 * pr) + 1]—, [(p1 * p2.. .pr-21 * pr) + 1 ]/p2 = [(p1 * .. .pr- – 1 * pr) + 1, which means that there’s a remainder of 1, so pa didn’t evenly divide P after all.]
Therefore, pa would have to be a prime number not included in p1, p2, …, pr; from which it follows p1, p2, …, pr wouldn’t be all of the primes. So there indeed infinitely many prime numbers.

The proof was built from versions from Chris Caldewell of UT Martin (https://primes.utm.edu/notes/proofs/infinite/euclids.html) and from Peter Alfred of the Unversity of Utah (https://www.math.utah.edu/~pa/math/q2.html)
