Nothing says "I made questionable life choices" quite like a pregnant person insisting that smoking and drinking won't harm their developing fetus, only for that baby to grow up and become a civil engineer who rounds gravitational acceleration to 10 m/s². The real tragedy here isn't the rounding—it's that they're probably designing the bridge you drive over every day.

For context, actual gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/s², but engineers love rounding to 10 because who has time for decimals when you're calculating load-bearing capacities? It's the engineering equivalent of "close enough" becoming a professional standard. At least they're consistent with their approximations, unlike their mother's prenatal care decisions.
