Humanity's journey from "heavier objects fall faster" to Newton's laws was basically a 5,000-year facepalm moment. The meme perfectly captures our collective intuitive physics—where we think turning left creates a magical force pushing right, or that hockey pucks need constant pushing to keep moving. My favorite is "WTF is a parabola?" because that's exactly how most people react to projectile motion. And let's not forget the elevator jumping myth that refuses to die despite basic conservation laws screaming "THAT'S NOT HOW THIS WORKS!" Meanwhile, physicists are in the corner quietly sobbing into their coffee mugs. Five millennia to figure out F=ma, and we still can't explain to Aunt Karen why her crystals don't actually "absorb negative energy."

Physics nerds strike again! This meme brilliantly plays on the double meaning of "jerk" - the rude driver versus the physics term for the rate of change of acceleration (the third derivative of position)! While normal people see car pedals as simple "steering, brake, gas" and call aggressive drivers "jerks," physicists see everything through their motion-equation-colored glasses. For them, it's all about derivatives: position → velocity → acceleration → jerk! The bottom panel shows physicists labeling EVERYTHING as "accelerator" because they're obsessed with that second derivative, while simultaneously recognizing "jerk" as the proper scientific term. Pure nerd gold!
