When your passion for traditional construction materials goes WAY beyond hobby status! This person's brother has turned brick vs. concrete into the ultimate architectural hill to die on. The progression from German construction fascination to concrete-block-smashing vigilante is the most intense materials science journey ever documented. That breakdown in London over brutalist architecture? Pure engineering emotions in their rawest form!

The family dinner table has transformed from political debates to heated discussions about building materials—which honestly might be more productive than politics anyway! Next Thanksgiving, just bring some vintage clay bricks as a peace offering.

Spherical Reaccs Only

Behold the mathematical tragedy of vehicle design! The sleek, curvy Tesla Model S is represented in spherical coordinates (ρ,θ,φ) with all those beautiful rounded surfaces. Meanwhile, the Cybertruck below—looking like it was designed by a 5-year-old with a ruler and exactly zero curves—is stuck in boring Cartesian coordinates (x,y,z). This is what happens when engineers skip their differential geometry classes to play Minecraft! Some shapes just can't be tamed by elegant equations... they need those harsh, straight-line functions that scream "I REJECT YOUR SMOOTH REALITY!"

3 Is Still A Good Approximation For π

Engineers and their eternal love affair with π ≈ 3! This meme perfectly captures the classic engineering approach of "close enough for government work." When asked to name three numbers, our engineer friend goes straight for the most notorious approximation in STEM fields. In reality, π = 3.14159... (and continues infinitely), but when you're building a bridge and need quick calculations, sometimes π = 3 is all you need. The woman's reaction is priceless - she instantly recognizes she's dealing with someone who prioritizes pragmatic solutions over mathematical purity. No wonder engineering professors collectively shudder whenever a student rounds π to 3!

Mom Was Not A Fan Of His Degree

The ultimate betrayal in South Asian households: four years of electrical engineering and you can't fix the ceiling fan? The gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application has never been so hilariously exposed! Universities teach Maxwell's equations but forget the crucial "How to Fix Mom's Appliances 101" course. That electrical engineering degree might impress future employers, but in the maternal court of judgment, if you can't repair household electronics, you might as well have studied interpretive dance. The Gru meme perfectly captures that moment when you realize your fancy degree holds no power in the domestic realm.

Some Things Are Just Too Much To Bear... Or Resist

The punchline here is purely electrical. That's a resistor lying on what appears to be a beach, saying "Sorry, I couldn't resist..." It's basically a component that had one job—to resist electrical current—and it failed spectacularly at its sole purpose. Classic component identity crisis. Engineers everywhere are silently nodding while adjusting their glasses.

Conservation Of Energy Is Not Real, Boys

Physics professors: "Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed." Meanwhile, ChatGPT's servers vaporizing 1000 liters of cooling water into the void dimension every time you ask it to explain why your crush isn't texting back. The First Law of AI Thermodynamics: Conservation of Energy applies to everything except data centers, which convert electricity directly into existential dread and slightly warmer oceans.

The Engineering Student's Desktop Of Doom

The desktop of every engineering student who claims they're "just running a simple simulation." Meanwhile, their poor laptop is on the verge of nuclear meltdown with ten different CAD programs open simultaneously. The blank, dead-eyed stare perfectly captures that moment when you've accepted your computer's imminent demise but need to finish that FEA analysis before the deadline. Engineers don't fear death—they fear SOLIDWORKS crashing before they've saved their work.
