Engineers Then Vs. Now

engineering-memes, doge-memes, math-memes, steam-memes, fourier-memes | ScienceHumor.io

Remember when engineers were basically muscle-bound steam wizards shouting "CHOO-CHOO" while harnessing the raw power of 470 kW locomotives? Now they're just sad puppers whining about Fourier series and partial differential equations.

The evolution is brutal. We went from building massive iron beasts that conquered continents to sitting in cubicles crying over mathematical transformations that convert signals between time and frequency domains. Progress?

Engineering used to be about coal, sweat, and terrifying machinery. Now it's about avoiding complex calculus at all costs. The doge knows what's up - sometimes you just want to build something without having to solve an equation that looks like alphabet soup having a seizure.

Solidworks Does Not Go Brrr

Roman engineers built aqueducts spanning continents using sticks and rocks. Modern engineers cry when SolidWorks crashes after trying to add a simple constraint. The duality of engineering evolution—we've gone from "I will conquer gravity with stone" to "please don't corrupt my file again." Progress?

Hey, If It Works, It Works!

The classic expectations vs. reality gap strikes again! Wanting professional Computer-Aided Design software but getting Microsoft Paint with hand-drawn measurements instead is the engineering equivalent of ordering a Ferrari and receiving a cardboard box with "vroom vroom" written on it. That crude technical drawing with its meticulously labeled dimensions (12.0mm, 7mm φ) showcases the beautiful desperation of making do with what you've got. Engineers everywhere are silently nodding in recognition of that moment when you realize your brilliant design will have to survive being sketched in the digital equivalent of a crayon.

Chernobyl: The Fastest Energy Production In History

Nuclear efficiency gone wild! The Chernobyl disaster wasn't exactly on anyone's production schedule. When the reactor went critical in 1986, it released more energy in seconds than it was supposed to produce over decades. That wide-eyed expression perfectly captures the moment of "Oh no, that's not supposed to happen" right before history's worst nuclear disaster. Talk about overachieving in the worst possible way! Energy production speedrun: catastrophic edition.

V Is For Very Confusing Science

That moment when your brain short-circuits because there are just TOO MANY scientific "V" variables! Physics throws Voltage and Velocity at you, chemistry hits you with Volume and Valine, engineering sneaks in Viscosity, and biology slides in Volumetric flow rate. No wonder scientists look contemplative with pens in their mouths - they're trying to remember which "V" they're supposed to be using in their equations! Next time someone asks "what does V stand for?" just respond "yes." 😂

No No, He's Got A Point

The superhero we didn't know engineering departments needed! The irony here is delicious - engineers build bridges, rockets, and microchips but might still struggle with basic arithmetic. Most engineering students have had that moment of using a calculator for 7×8 while simultaneously designing complex systems. It's the beautiful paradox of being able to apply calculus to real-world problems while occasionally forgetting how fractions work. The Spider-Man presenter just makes it perfect - with great computational software comes great responsibility to remember how to do math by hand.

Only Do What Your Heart Tells You

This is peak engineering humor where Princess Diana's inspirational quote "Only do what your heart tells you" gets a literal electrical engineering interpretation. The heart is telling someone to "Go make sum oscillators" - a play on how cardiac electrical signals are essentially biological oscillators. The zombie-like face saying "You got it boss" is every sleep-deprived engineering student following their "heart's" electrical engineering commands instead of the intended metaphorical meaning. The "Ee" in the original title stands for Electrical Engineering, making this a spectacular nerd-sniping pun that would make any circuit design professor chuckle into their coffee.
