Can Confirm, My Steel Prof Was Very Extreme

Tesla's grand vision of wireless electricity transmission got hijacked by AirPods! The genius who dreamed of powering cities wirelessly is watching us celebrate the freedom from... headphone cords. Talk about missing the forest for the trees! His Wardenclyffe Tower was supposed to beam energy across continents, but instead we're just beaming Spotify to our ears. Classic case of "you were so close" in technological evolution. Somewhere in the great beyond, Tesla is both crying and slow-clapping at our priorities.

That moment when your mechanical engineering friend's autocorrect reveals their true lab horrors! What they MEANT was "My brothers in Christ we cooked a CULTURE in an autoclave" but their phone had other ideas. Sterilizing equipment: normal science procedure. Sterilizing someone's pet: straight to lab safety jail! This is why you should never text while your hands are still covered in agar!

The classic battle between theory and practicality on full display! The architect meticulously arranges each nail in a delicate balancing act, treating it like a precise architectural challenge that requires elegant form. Meanwhile, the engineer just grabs a hammer and NAILS the solution (pun absolutely intended) by bundling them together with one nail through the middle. This perfectly captures the engineering mindset: "Why complicate things when a simple, effective solution exists?" The architect is playing 4D chess while the engineer is playing "let's get this done before lunch." Both approaches have their place, but sometimes the fastest path between two points is just smashing through the middle!

The classic bait-and-switch! Engineers proudly declaring "I support LGBT" only to reveal they're talking about defense contractors (Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Boeing, Texas Instruments). Nothing says "progressive values" quite like working for companies that manufacture high-precision guidance systems for... um... "peacekeeping operations." The duality of the modern engineer: rainbow stickers on the laptop by day, designing advanced targeting systems by night. The minion's awkward smile really sells the internal conflict.

Engineering students know the pain! Spent $1,000 on a "TV stand" that's actually just a stack of overpriced textbooks that cost more than the TV itself. The facial expression says it all - that moment when you realize your education costs more per pound than premium electronics. Those chemistry and engineering books aren't just holding up a screen; they're holding down your bank account too.

The ultimate flex in the OS wars! Linux enthusiasts love dropping this mic-drop fact: the International Space Station runs on Linux. Why? Because when your computer is orbiting Earth at 17,500 mph, you can't exactly call IT to reboot after a blue screen of death. NASA and space agencies worldwide chose Linux for its legendary stability and reliability—the same OS that your bearded friend won't stop evangelizing about at every coffee meetup. Next time Windows forces an update while you're presenting, just remember: somewhere 250 miles above Earth, Linux is keeping astronauts alive without crashing.
