Every Day Is Leg-Day In A Factory

Engineers spending years mastering thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and structural analysis only to be asked "Hey, can you update this Excel sheet?" is the ultimate career plot twist! That face is every engineer who dreamed of building rockets or bridges but is now formatting cells and making pivot tables. The engineering degree on the wall silently judges as you become the world's most overqualified data entry specialist. Engineers didn't sign up for this spreadsheet purgatory—they signed up to change the world with ACTUAL engineering!

The spatial pun is strong with this one! When engineers graduate, they don't just get smaller—they get proportionally smaller according to the inverse square law of dad jokes. "Engifar" is what happens when your degree suddenly puts you at a distance from normal human humor. The tiny hard hat remains regulation size though, because safety standards don't scale down with wordplay.

Physics students rejecting CBD (cannabidiol) but swooning over FBD (free body diagrams). The natural state of a physics student is to ignore recreational substances and instead experience euphoria when calculating forces on a rigid body. Nothing quite like the high of decomposing vectors and solving for equilibrium conditions. Some of us still have nightmares about forgetting to include friction in our calculations.

The eternal struggle between theoretical physics and practical engineering! While physicists obsess over electron flow direction (negative to positive, contrary to conventional current that flows positive to negative), electrical engineers are just like "does the circuit work? cool." The convention was established before we knew electrons were negative, and now we're stuck with this delightful contradiction. Kirchhoff probably rolls in his grave every time an engineer shrugs off the discrepancy while successfully building something that works anyway. Physics purists in shambles!

That moment when someone tries to impress you with their "advanced" lighting knowledge. Incandescent bulbs are literally just resistors that got so frustrated with electrical current that they started glowing out of spite. Edison didn't invent the light bulb; he discovered angry electrons. Next they'll tell me about this revolutionary new technology called "fire."

Ever noticed how rulers start at 0.5cm instead of 0? This isn't a manufacturing error—it's because the edge of the ruler itself is the zero point! The first marking is actually 0.5cm from the edge. This drives math purists absolutely bonkers because technically zero IS a natural number (depending on which mathematician you ask)! The debate about whether zero belongs in the natural numbers set has been raging since ancient times. Some textbooks include it, others don't. It's basically the mathematical equivalent of the "is a hot dog a sandwich?" debate, but with more PhDs involved!
