Are You Dom Or Sub With Your Control Systems?

The mathematical hierarchy of suffering! Someone circled all the advanced math functions on a scientific calculator and labeled them "the most useless buttons." Engineers and math majors everywhere just felt a disturbance in the force. Those buttons—logarithms, trigonometric functions, square roots—are literally what separates "I can add numbers" from "I can calculate orbital trajectories." It's like calling a surgeon's scalpel useless because you only need scissors to cut paper. The irony is that these "useless" functions built modern civilization, from bridges to smartphones. But sure, let's stick to addition and subtraction!

The resistor that couldn't resist! Get it? Because it's LITERALLY a resistor—an electronic component whose entire job is to resist electrical current! The caption "sorry, I couldn't resist" is the perfect electrical engineering dad joke. It's like the resistor is apologizing for failing at its ONE JOB while simultaneously making a pun about its existence. Next time your circuit board acts up, just remember—some components have commitment issues!

Someone just discovered the geological equivalent of putting a cork in a champagne bottle! The suggestion to plug a volcano with cement is hilariously missing the whole "magma under immense pressure" part of the equation. Volcanoes aren't just fancy lava dispensers—they're pressure release valves for the Earth's molten interior operating at temperatures exceeding 2000°F. That cement would either vaporize instantly or create the world's largest pressure cooker explosion. It's basically proposing to solve a bomb by putting your thumb over the fuse. Nature always finds a way... usually an explosive one!

The Space Race really brought out chemistry's wild side! 1960s rocket scientists were basically like kids in a candy store, except the candy might melt your face off. They'd discover some unholy chemical compound that could dissolve your bones, cause seventeen types of cancer, and potentially level a small town—and their reaction? "Perfect for our next rocket test!" Safety protocols were basically "try not to die" and lab coats were considered optional fashion statements. The meme perfectly captures that chaotic "consequences are for future generations" energy that gave us both moon landings and superfund sites.

The imperial system finally makes perfect sense! On the left, we have America's "logical" measurements where everything is precisely 100 - because nothing says scientific consistency like basing temperature on a random guy named Fahrenheit and measuring distance in feet (because human appendages are clearly universal measuring tools). Meanwhile, the rest of the world uses those crazy, chaotic numbers like 304.8 mm in a foot - how dare they use a decimal-based system with conversion factors that don't require a Ph.D. to understand! Next time someone asks why Americans cling to their imperial system, just show them this chart. It clearly proves that writing dates as month/day/year is completely normal and not at all like writing your address as "apartment/street/city." The evidence is overwhelming!

The father-son conversation takes a hilariously dark turn when Dad explains his daughter was named after Venice where Mom "stayed for a long time." The son says thanks, and Dad responds with "No problem, ENGINEERING" – revealing he named his son after what he was doing when the kid was conceived. Classic engineer humor – solving the naming problem with brutal efficiency while completely missing social boundaries. At least he didn't name him "Conference Room Table" or "Back Seat of Toyota Corolla."
