Academic Priorities Clash

Engineering students living in their own dimension where casual conversation is replaced by Navier-Stokes equations. The meme brilliantly captures that moment when someone asks a fluid dynamics enthusiast "how's it going?" and their brain immediately floods with partial differential equations instead of normal human responses. The Navier-Stokes equations shown are the holy grail of fluid dynamics - describing how the velocity, pressure, density and viscosity of a moving fluid are related. They're notoriously complex (one of the Millennium Prize Problems offers $1 million for solving them!), yet to engineering students, they're just casual chitchat material. That final "yea" panel is engineering humor at its finest - as if these incomprehensible equations are just a normal way to respond to "how's it going?" The title "Who Up Stoking They Navier Rn?" perfectly parodies late-night social media posts with "who up?" but for people who stay up late solving fluid dynamics problems instead.

The terror of seeing "only 5 questions" on a thermodynamics exam hits different. It's like the professor saying "I've prepared 5 separate ways to destroy your weekend, self-esteem, and will to live." Each question is basically a multi-stage rocket launch of pain that'll age you 51 years in 3 hours. The fewer the questions, the more each one feels like you're attempting interstellar travel with a calculator and pure desperation. Physics students know: "only 5 questions" translates to "hope you brought snacks, we're gonna be here awhile."

The physics problem wants you to calculate if Jerak can reach the elevator before it closes, but the angry meme face cuts through the mathematical nonsense with brutal logic: "Because of this stupid guy." Sure, we could solve for time (t = distance/speed = 15m/2.5m·s -1 = 6s) and realize Jerak would arrive precisely when the door closes completely. But why bother with kinematics when the real problem is the inconsiderate person inside deliberately holding the "close door" button? No equation accounts for human pettiness - that's the variable they don't teach you in physics class!

Nothing screams "I have a PhD" quite like writing 1/√n instead of just n. It's the mathematical equivalent of wearing a tuxedo to buy milk. Sure, both expressions represent natural numbers when n is a perfect square, but one makes you look like you're trying to impress the tenure committee. The unnecessary complexity is the academic version of a peacock's feather display – completely impractical but absolutely essential for intellectual mating rituals.

The duality of mathematicians is hilariously accurate! Give them infinity—a concept that breaks normal arithmetic, spans countless dimensions, and defies intuition—and they're completely unfazed, smiling confidently like "just another Tuesday." But hand them a basic calculation with any number above 5? Pure existential terror! It's that perfect paradox where theoretical math feels comfortable but practical arithmetic feels like staring into the abyss. The countless grad students who can derive complex theorems but panic when splitting a restaurant bill feel personally attacked right now.

Physics students know the drill! When your teacher puts Newton's Second Law (F = ma) on the formula sheet, it's like getting the most obvious equation ever as a "gift." It's basically like being handed a spoon when you need a full kitchen to cook a five-course meal! That one equation won't save you from calculating projectile motion, conservation of momentum, or work-energy problems. The teacher thinks they're being so generous with this fundamental equation that you've had memorized since day one, while you're sitting there needing way more complex formulas to solve those nightmare exam problems!
