Everything Is Relative

The eternal struggle between Tesla and Edison perfectly captured in classroom form. Tesla, the brilliant introvert who mumbled groundbreaking ideas about alternating current, while Edison, the business-savvy extrovert, simply shouted Tesla's ideas louder and got the credit. Some scientific rivalries never die, they just get recycled into meme format. The historical equivalent of writing your name on someone else's lab report.

Business students think they've got it rough with their spreadsheets and presentations? *maniacal laugh* Engineering students were born in the differential equations, molded by the all-nighters! They don't see sunlight until they're already graduated, and by then it's nothing but BLINDING ! The suffering isn't just a part of engineering education—it's practically the curriculum! Those 3AM thermodynamics problem sets and soul-crushing design projects aren't just assignments—they're initiation rituals into the cult of caffeinated masochism! *twirls imaginary mustache*

Look at that file size difference! Imperial measurements getting the job done in just 16 MB while metric needs a whopping 1325 MB. The irony is delicious considering metric is universally praised for its efficiency and logical structure, while imperial gets mocked for its seemingly random conversions (12 inches in a foot? 5280 feet in a mile? Who came up with this?). Yet here we are, with imperial data somehow taking up 83 times less space. Someone in the engineering department has some explaining to do!

When Noah built the ark, he never anticipated the modern engineering disciplines would evolve into such distinct species. The bewildered biblical figure staring at "engineering," "industrial engineering," and "business" perfectly captures the bizarre evolutionary tree of technical fields. Engineering spawned industrial engineering, which then somehow birthed that strange creature known as "business." Each generation getting progressively further from actual technical work and closer to making PowerPoint presentations about other people's technical work. Nature finds a way... to avoid doing calculations!

The eternal dichotomy between application and theory! Engineers smugly smirk when their inventions go unused—"hahaha nobody applies your invention"—while mathematicians sob uncontrollably at the same fate. But flip the script with pure mathematicians, and you'll find they're playing 4D chess. One says "Nobody will apply your theorem ever" while the other responds "I hope so" with galaxy-brain energy. Pure mathematicians secretly want their work to remain theoretical forever—the moment someone finds a practical application, some government agency will classify it and they'll never see their beautiful equations again. Nothing ruins a mathematician's day like learning their abstract number theory just became the foundation of modern cryptography!

The ultimate career showdown! Environmental engineers sitting there with their reusable water bottles and composting bins thinking they're saving the world one recycled can at a time, while petroleum engineers are cackling all the way to the bank after designing yet another pipeline. It's like watching Captain Planet and the villain from Captain Planet both getting paychecks from different departments of the same company. Corporate Earth playing both sides so they always come out on top! The greatest irony of modern engineering – one group frantically building sandcastles while the other brings the tsunami.
