FFT Go Brrr: When Dating Meets Signal Processing

Ever been bamboozled by matrix operations only to discover their true purpose? That crushing moment when you realize you've been wrestling with rows and columns just so calculators can have an easier life! 🤖 The mathematical equivalent of training for a marathon only to find out you were just breaking in someone else's shoes. Matrix multiplication might twist your brain into a pretzel, but hey—your TI-84 calculator is having the time of its life!

Engineering professors: "You need precise calculations and specialized software to design an airfoil!" Engineering students after one semester: "Watch me draw this perfect NACA profile with a Sharpie while half asleep." The true mark of an aerospace engineer isn't understanding Bernoulli's principle—it's the ability to doodle a decent airfoil on command during boring meetings. That curved line is worth $80,000 in student loans right there!

The eternal physics vs. engineering rivalry strikes again! Our adventurous explorer spent 15 years searching for the ultimate truth, only to discover that physicists—those theoretical wizards with their elegant equations—actually need *gasp* engineers to design their experiments. The physicist's reaction? Running away screaming "NYEHHHH" like they've just witnessed their beautiful theory being contaminated by practical reality. It's the scientific equivalent of finding out Santa isn't real. Theoretical physicists might dream up quantum entanglement and string theory, but someone's gotta build those particle accelerators and gravitational wave detectors! The horror!

The eternal divide between theoretical and practical approaches. Physics students memorize π and e to 15 decimal places as if the universe would collapse otherwise. Meanwhile, engineering students round to the nearest integer because bridges don't care about the 14th decimal place. One is having an existential crisis; the other is getting 8 hours of sleep. Both will argue they're right while drinking coffee at 3 AM before finals.

The betrayal runs deep! Physics majors are expected to know that gravity on Earth is approximately 9.8 m/s², not the rounded 10 m/s² that engineers use for simplicity. It's like catching your own apprentice using the dark side of significant figures! The pain of watching someone who should uphold the precise standards of physics succumb to engineering approximations is just too much to bear. Next thing you know, they'll be saying π = 3 and calling it "close enough for practical applications."

The nuclear energy supporter is having NONE of that renewable energy slander! First panel: our nuclear enthusiast is defending wind and solar from lies. Second panel: some cartoon dude shows up screaming about nuclear being scary. Third panel: *SPLAT* 💥 This is basically every energy policy debate on Twitter compressed into three panels. The irony? Nuclear power has one of the lowest death rates per terawatt-hour of any energy source - even lower than solar and wind! But try explaining that at Thanksgiving dinner without someone having a meltdown. Pun absolutely intended.
