Biomimicry: When Engineers Get Shellfish About Speed

Fleming's Right Hand Rule explained by a cartoon teenager making a gun shape with his hand. The rule determines how current, magnetic field, and motion interact in electromagnetism. Physics students spend years mastering this, but apparently all we needed was a nervous kid gesturing dramatically. Next semester I'll just show Rick and Morty instead of writing 40 equations on the board. Would probably improve my teaching evaluations.

When your CFD simulation goes from solving partial differential equations to international politics in one boundary condition. Nothing says "I've given up on convergence" like adding a dictator to your flow field. The poor grad student who made this was probably on their 47th hour without sleep, surviving on cold coffee and mathematical despair. This is what happens when you tell engineers to "think outside the box" but the box is a domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions.

Engineers don't need an invitation to start approximating EVERYTHING! That calculator, those scribbled equations, and the iconic hard hat are basically an engineer's natural habitat. The beauty of engineering is making complex problems solvable by saying "close enough" to the math gods! Next time your engineer friend says "approximately," just know they've probably replaced π with 3 and ignored air resistance to make their life easier. It's not laziness—it's efficiency!

Engineers everywhere just felt a disturbance in the Force. Using π = 5? That's like saying water isn't wet or gravity is just a suggestion. Some poor mathematician is hyperventilating into a paper bag right now. The real comedy here is that someone actually typed this with a straight face, probably the same person who rounds 9.8 m/s² to "about 10" and thinks significant figures are just a suggestion. If you ever want to torture a physics professor, just show them this problem and watch their soul leave their body.

Engineers emerging from slumber like mythical beasts, surrounded by technical blueprints and the sweet scent of superiority! 🛠️ The eternal academic rivalry on full display - engineers flexing both their muscles AND their degrees simultaneously! Meanwhile, liberal arts majors are still trying to figure out which end of the ruler has the numbers. BEHOLD THE ENGINEER IN THEIR NATURAL HABITAT - half technical drawing, half protein shake, 100% convinced they're the backbone of civilization!

The eternal physics unit system showdown! On the left, we have the absolute CHAD of theoretical physics - the CGS system (centimeter-gram-second) with its muscular simplicity. No pesky constants cluttering your Maxwell equations! All electromagnetic fields with matching dimensions! Pure elegance! Meanwhile, the wimpy SI system (right) is just trying to survive practical calculations while constantly converting units and wondering what the heck a statcoulomb is. The struggle is REAL for engineering students everywhere who just want resistance measured in good ol' Ohms without needing a conversion table tattooed on their forearm. Physicists secretly fighting about unit systems is the nerdiest flex ever - and I'm totally here for it! 🤓⚡
