It's a thing that I've always thought that people over-complicate. It's just there, the small side with the small number the big side with the big number...

For a while, I've seen "<" and ">" as a slanted "=", which is to say, these numbers are not equal, and the larger side is the larger number and the smaller side is the smaller number.

Works for me, IDK.

But shouldn't it be 8 < 1 because the eight is heavier and squeezes the bars of the = together?

But shouldn't it be 8 < 1

That would be a pair of scissors, on its way to cut the number 1.
