It's Easy, You Can Do It

Patient describes pain as "π" and then clarifies it's "low level but never ending" - which is exactly what π is in mathematics: 3.14159... continuing infinitely without pattern. Math teachers are shown having an emotional breakdown because finally, finally , someone used mathematical concepts correctly in real life. This is the equivalent of finding a unicorn in the wild for educators who've spent decades watching students write "I don't ÷ by zero" in their yearbooks.

The engineering student's journey with CAD software is a slippery slope of self-deception. First, it's just another homework assignment. Then you convince yourself it's actually intuitive (ha!). Suddenly, you're having "fun" designing things, and before you know it—you're 12 hours deep creating the most unnecessarily detailed model of a rocket engine that nobody asked for. The final panel hits with the crushing realization that you've been so absorbed in your digital creation that you've completely forgotten the actual assignment deadline. Classic engineering hyperfocus syndrome! The progression from reluctance to obsession is painfully accurate for anyone who's ever touched AutoCAD or SolidWorks.

Behold the scientific class divide! Chemists are out here flexing with their molecular muscles, synthesizing compounds like they're collecting Infinity Stones. Meanwhile, physicists are crying into their equations, begging for funding to tweak theories they'll probably never finish in their lifetime. Chemistry gets results you can bottle and sell; physics gets... well... existential crises and decimal points. The academic equivalent of gym bros vs. philosophy majors! Guess which one gets the industry money? 💪🧪

The professor has completely abandoned mathematical accuracy for the sake of a pun! In reality, a Fourier transform is a sophisticated mathematical technique that converts signals between time and frequency domains—not whatever this numerical "four"-play is. The joke shows a tenured professor who's clearly given up on teaching actual math and instead created an elaborate, nonsensical definition based on the number 4 appearing in "Fourier." The chalkboard even "proves" his point with 4444 in base 5 being the "fouriest" number. This is what happens when mathematicians stop caring about academic rigor and start caring about dad jokes. Tenure really is mathematical freedom!

The instruction says "Write as a product" and the student literally wrote the expression multiplied by 1. Technically correct - the best kind of correct in mathematics. This is what happens when you spend 14 hours debugging code and your brain starts interpreting instructions with machine-like literalism. The professor probably wanted (x+y)(x+y), but sometimes malicious compliance is the only joy left in a STEM degree.

The most honest physics textbook introduction ever written! Centuries of brilliant minds and we're still stumped by quantum mechanics, general relativity, fluid dynamics, and time itself. Physics in a nutshell: "We've figured out the easy parts, but the rest? Total mystery." That's why physicists drink coffee by the gallon—they're trying to understand why their field is simultaneously the most precise science and also completely baffling. The best part? This textbook probably costs $300 despite admitting they don't know what's going on.
