Can Confirm, My Steel Prof Was Very Extreme

The meme brilliantly illustrates the difference between a normal resistor symbol (left) and a potentiometer/variable resistor symbol (right) in circuit diagrams. The confused expression represents every electronics student seeing these symbols for the first time, while the happy face represents the satisfaction when you finally understand the distinction. It's that magical moment when electrical engineering notation suddenly clicks—from "what are these weird zigzags?" to "of course, the diagonal arrow indicates variable resistance!" Only true circuit nerds get excited about proper component notation.

Mathematicians trying to make their field sound fancy: "This is a linear function with slope 2 and y-intercept 3." Engineers who just want to get things done: "Number goes in, gets doubled, add 3, number comes out. Next problem." The elegant simplicity of calling functions "number machines" would save us approximately 4.7 hours of pretentious terminology per semester. I'm submitting this to the International Mathematical Union immediately.

Breaking stereotypes and water surfaces simultaneously! The future of engineering doesn't care about your gender norms—it cares about propeller torque and 4G connectivity. This DIY drone boat is what happens when you combine technical prowess with fashion sense. While most engineers debate between khakis or jeans, this innovator's asking "Why not a skirt for optimal mobility during field testing?" Next-level thinking for next-level tech. The 14 views will be 14 million when people realize aerodynamics and aesthetics can coexist in perfect harmony.

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!

Electronics engineers everywhere are simultaneously cringing and nodding in approval. This is the circuit equivalent of using two straws to drink your milkshake faster! Sure, it's a hack that violates the sacred principles of proper circuit design, but sometimes engineering is just about making things work. The parallel transistor configuration doubles the current-carrying capacity, essentially turning your underpowered motor situation into a "brute force" solution. It's like hiring a second person to help push your car when it won't start instead of fixing the engine. Elegant? No. Effective? Absolutely. This is why engineers drink coffee by the gallon – we're constantly torn between "proper solutions" and "I need this working by 5 PM."

The ultimate thermodynamics galaxy brain evolution! Starting with basic "heat" (yawn, so primitive), then leveling up to "energy" where your brain starts to glow a little. But wait - once you unlock "enthalpy" your mind literally explodes with colorful understanding! Then "entropy" hits and you're basically a blue energy being contemplating the inevitable heat death of the universe. By "exergy" you've ascended to godlike status with the ability to calculate useful work from any system. And finally, "anergy" - the unusable energy in a system - where you've transcended physical form entirely and become one with the thermodynamic cosmos. This is what happens when you study for Thermo 2 at 3 AM fueled by nothing but coffee and desperation!
