Circuit + C = Integrated Circuit

Behold! The mighty transistor family reunion! These little semiconductor siblings are the unsung heroes of your electronic devices, having undergone their own transformation from simple switches to powerful amplifiers. Just like our trans friends, these components have changed how they express themselves while maintaining their core identity - controlling electrical current! The smaller ones at the top are like "I'm just starting my journey" while the chunky power transistors at the bottom are all "FINAL FORM ACHIEVED!" The electrical engineering equivalent of "living your truth" is letting the right amount of current flow through! *adjusts lab goggles frantically*

The scientist's dream has come true - Washington DC has been converted to alternating current! That waveform showing the DC skyline as an AC signal is peak electrical engineering humor. Instead of Direct Current (DC), the capital is now oscillating between positive and negative potentials like a properly functioning democracy should. Tesla would be so proud, while Edison would be absolutely fuming in his grave. Electrical engineers everywhere are quietly snickering at this perfect fusion of electrical principles and architectural silhouettes.

Remember when basic algebra felt like stepping on a rake? Fast forward to engineering school, where you're parkour-ing through a mathematical obstacle course with differential equations tripping you on the stairs, Laplace transforms knocking you off ledges, and calculus waiting to clothesline you around every corner. Meanwhile, that same basic algebra is just chilling at the bottom like "remember when you thought I was hard?" Engineering students don't need a gym membership—dodging mathematical concepts while crying inside provides all the cardio they need.

The eternal academic hierarchy in one perfect facial expression! Physicists and mathematicians giving that judgmental side-eye to engineers who *gasp* actually build things instead of just theorizing about them. It's like the pure science folks are silently thinking "Oh, you're approximating our perfect equations? How... practical of you." The theoretical vs applied science rivalry is basically the scientific community's version of high school cliques. Meanwhile engineers are off building rockets while physicists argue about the 17th decimal place in their calculations!

Physics and engineering students looking at someone calling scientific calculator functions "useless"? *nervous laughter intensifies* 🧪 Those circled buttons (sin, cos, tan, log) are the bread and butter of anyone who's ever had to calculate the trajectory of a projectile at 2AM while questioning their life choices! Without them, we'd still be drawing triangles in the sand like cavemen with protractors! The real useless button is the one that turns the calculator on. Once you enter STEM, that thing never gets turned off. It becomes a permanent extension of your trembling, caffeine-fueled hand!

The beautiful paradox of engineering students! Instead of calculating stress tensors or designing circuits, they're scrolling through memes about how difficult their major is. It's the perfect procrastination loop - reading about the very work they're avoiding while feeling oddly validated. The coffee cup isn't just a beverage holder - it's structural support for their rapidly deteriorating study schedule. Truly a masterclass in applied avoidance mechanics!
