What You Can't See Can't Hurt You

Little dino dreams of stargazing but gets thrown into the deep end of theoretical physics! Poor guy thought astronomy was just pretty stars and planets, but now he's drowning in quantum mechanics and differential equations. The sudden realization that modern astronomy requires mastering six different branches of advanced physics is the scientific equivalent of ordering a vanilla ice cream and getting a calculus exam instead. The dinosaur's wide-eyed shock in that final panel is every freshman who switched majors after their first astrophysics lecture!

Engineers in their natural habitat: give them an impossible technical challenge and watch their eyes light up with manic glee. But ask them to write a few sentences about why their creations might affect society? Suddenly they're staring into the void contemplating their existence. This is the classic engineering paradox - brilliant minds who can calculate the tensile strength of a bridge down to the nanometer but freeze when asked "should we build this bridge?" The technical is comfort food; the ethical is a five-star restaurant with no prices on the menu.

The scientific method demands creativity, but not that much creativity. Every physicist explaining quantum entanglement or cryptography inevitably summons the legendary duo "Alice and Bob" - because apparently scientists collectively decided that inventing new names would break the universe. Next time you're reading a paper about quantum teleportation, take a shot every time Alice sends a qubit to Bob. Actually don't - you'd violate the laws of physics by achieving quantum intoxication faster than light can travel.

That tiny sliver of blue represents actual mathematical errors, while the overwhelming orange portion represents misinterpreting what the problem was asking in the first place. The irony is palpable—we spend years mastering calculus and algebra only to be defeated by the phrase "find the value of x such that ..." Nothing crushes the soul quite like realizing you perfectly solved the wrong problem.

Electrical Engineering students know the true horror of circuit analysis. When your professor casually asks you to "just apply Kirchhoff's Law" and then presents you with what appears to be a summoning circle for the ancient god of tangled wires and burnt resistors. Nothing says "I've made a terrible career choice" quite like staring at mystical runes when you expected a simple RLC circuit. At this point, you're not solving for voltage—you're solving for which demon to sacrifice your GPA to.

The moment you learn Ohm's Law and suddenly your family thinks you can resurrect their decade-old washing machine from the dead! Electrical Engineering students know the pain—one minute you're calculating circuit impedance, the next you're expected to be some appliance necromancer with a multimeter wand. Parents don't realize that fixing their washing machine is like asking a first-year med student to perform brain surgery... with a spoon! *frantically flips through textbook* "Chapter 1: How to avoid electrocution" isn't quite enough preparation for this family tech support role!
