FFT Go Brrr: When Dating Meets Signal Processing

Engineers and physicists have been approximating π as 3 for generations, but this madlad just one-upped them with π = 4! The meme shows the classic "mathematician's nightmare" where repeatedly chopping corners off a square somehow preserves the perimeter while approaching a circle. Eventually reaching the punchline that π = 4. What's happening here is a beautiful example of why calculus professors drink heavily. The perimeter of a circle with diameter 1 is π, while a square with side length 1 has perimeter 4. This "proof" suggests they're equivalent, which would make Archimedes roll in his ancient grave. The trick? Each corner-cutting creates a jagged path that maintains the same length as the original square. No matter how many corners you remove, you're still tracing a path of length 4, not π. It's like claiming you can drive from New York to Boston in a straight line because you've smoothed out all the highway curves on your map.

The ultimate cooling system for someone who can't risk a meltdown! When you work at a nuclear power plant, your computer needs more fans than a celebrity at Comic-Con. Those massive cooling fans aren't just for show—they're keeping temperatures down so your PC doesn't go all Chernobyl on your desk! Nuclear photographers know that capturing those perfect reactor shots requires serious hardware that won't overheat when you're editing 5000 radiation-filtered images. Talk about blowing your budget on fans instead of graphics cards!

This fence gate is the ultimate nerd trap! The decorative metal cutouts at the top aren't just pretty—they're actual logic gate symbols from computer science and electronics! AND, OR, NOT gates... it's like someone decided their home security needed to double as a computer engineering exam. Only a true tech geek would design their entrance to literally say "you shall pass... but only if you satisfy the Boolean expression." Next-level geekery that makes normal people go "nice fence" while computer scientists stand there debugging the entry requirements!

Signed up for Advanced Thermodynamics, got recursion instead. That moment when you realize your engineering professor has the logical structure of a cat discovering object permanence. First rule of bladeless fans: the blades are always inside another layer of abstraction. Just like how my understanding of this course is inside my professor's imagination.

The ultimate betrayal in physics academia! Physics purists insist on using the precise gravitational acceleration constant g=9.81 m/s², while engineers pragmatically round to g=10 m/s² for easier calculations. Finding a physics major using the engineer's approximation is like discovering your chosen one has gone to the dark side! The TA's anguish perfectly captures that moment when precision-obsessed physicists compromise their standards for computational convenience. The eternal struggle between theoretical purity and practical simplicity continues to tear the STEM world apart!

The eternal standoff between programmer and machine. On the left, the human element: screaming into the void because your perfectly crafted code refuses to cooperate. On the right, the smug white cat (the code itself) sitting at dinner with that insufferable expression that says, "I'm literally doing exactly what you told me to do, not what you meant for me to do." This is programming in its purest form—the computer follows instructions with malicious compliance while the developer slowly loses their remaining sanity. The null pointer exception is just the cherry on top, the computer's way of saying "You told me to look for something at this address, but there's nothing here. What did you expect?"
