The ultimate dream of every physicist who's failed thermodynamics! This M.C. Escher-inspired "perpetual motion machine" is basically what happens when you skip physics class to play Minecraft. Sure, just build an impossible waterfall that violates the laws of physics, hook it up to a turbine, and boom—infinite energy! The first law of thermodynamics is crying in the corner right now. Energy companies hate this one weird trick! Next up: using unicorn farts to power your car and harvesting electricity from your cat's eternal judgment of your life choices.

This is the ultimate nerd joke compilation where each field gets absolutely roasted by its own terminology! The philosophy joke questions its own existence (classic overthinking), while civil engineering is "under construction" (literally their job). Economics isn't "in demand" (supply-demand curves, anyone?), statistics isn't "significant" (p-value < 0.05 or it didn't happen), geography can't find itself (spatial disorientation at its finest), and programming has an "error in the code" (debug your life choices). Meanwhile, chemistry spontaneously combusted because some compounds are just that unstable. It's basically every academic discipline making fun of itself using insider terminology that makes scientists snort coffee through their noses during department meetings.

The ultimate engineering solution to the 2021 Suez Canal crisis! Two giant cans of WD-40 could've saved global shipping billions! This brilliant edit references the infamous Ever Given container ship that got stuck and blocked one of the world's busiest waterways for six days. As any engineer knows, WD-40 is the miracle spray that unsticks literally ANYTHING. Your car door squeaks? WD-40. Rusty bolt won't budge? WD-40. Massive 1,300-foot ship blocking 12% of global trade? You better believe that's a job for WD-40! The perfect representation of the engineer's problem-solving flowchart: "Does it move? No. Should it move? Yes. Apply WD-40!"

The engineering species in their natural habitat! While mechanical engineers are having existential meltdowns over Ferrari vs Lamborghini specs (complete with tears and technical jargon!), civil engineers are living their best bearded lives just appreciating cool bridges together. No drama, no specs, just "look at this cool bridge" → "wow that is cool." Civil engineers have discovered the secret to engineering happiness - it's bridges, not supercars! They're the zen masters of the engineering world, finding joy in infrastructure while the mech boys are having automotive therapy sessions.

Engineers approximating π as 3 is the mathematical equivalent of saying "eh, close enough." The calculator literally has a dedicated π button right there! But why press one button when you can be gloriously wrong instead? This is the same species that built the pyramids and landed on the moon, folks. The π button exists for a reason—and that reason is that π ≠ 3. Not even on Fridays. Not even when you're tired. Not even when your professor isn't looking.

The mathematical blasphemy is UNBEARABLE! Engineers gleefully declaring π = e = 3 is like watching someone microwave a fine steak. Pure mathematical terrorism! 🤓 For the uninitiated, π is approximately 3.14159..., e is about 2.71828..., and neither will EVER equal 3 except in the fever dreams of engineers seeking "close enough" approximations to make their calculations easier. Meanwhile, mathematicians everywhere are having tiny heart attacks. The teacher's exasperation is the collective sigh of academia. "The n-th time" is particularly brilliant—even the complaint is expressed as a mathematical variable!
