He Is My Precious Little Idiot

The quintessential Engineering Management major – skateboard in hand, music band t-shirt, and absolutely zero technical skills, but somehow convinced they're "one of the engineers." These are the folks who failed Calculus II but will someday earn twice your salary to ask why your project isn't done yet. They're the corporate equivalent of wearing a lab coat to a Halloween party and suddenly thinking they understand molecular biology. The beautiful irony is that while actual engineers are debugging code at 2 AM, these red-capped imposters are practicing how to say "synergy" in their business communications class.

The eternal rivalry between Electrical Engineers and Computer Engineers captured in SpongeBob format! Poor Squidward (the Computer Engineer) can't handle being near Patrick (the Electrical Engineer) because—gasp—he's terrified of actual circuits! And when SpongeBob drops "Kirchhoff's Laws" into the conversation? Total meltdown! It's like watching someone who only codes in Python suddenly confronted with having to build an actual physical device. The horror! 🔌⚡ Spoiler alert: most CompE degrees still require circuit analysis, but that doesn't stop the interdepartmental trash talk!

Behold, the morning ritual of the mechanical engineer – waking up with the smug superiority that only comes from believing your discipline is the only "real" engineering. While electrical engineers are playing with invisible electrons and civil engineers are just stacking bricks, mechanical engineers are designing the machines that make the world turn... or so they tell themselves. The tribal warfare between engineering disciplines is practically a required course. Chemical engineers think they're chemists who can do math, software engineers think they're not just glorified typists, and aerospace engineers are just mechanical engineers who couldn't handle being on the ground. Meanwhile, physicists watch from a distance, wondering why anyone would choose to apply their equations to something as mundane as reality.

Japanese scientists: "Let's shock the ground to grow more mushrooms." Nature: "Wait, that's illegal." Scientists: *does it anyway* Mushrooms: *double in quantity* When folk wisdom meets electrical engineering, you get scientists dragging lightning machines through forests. It's not magic—it's just science with a dramatic flair. Next up: rain dances replaced by irrigation robots.

When your differential equation is giving you grief, just do what Laplace did—slap another boundary condition on it and hope for the best! It's like trying to fix a leaky pipe with more tape instead of replacing it. Mathematicians and physicists everywhere are nodding knowingly while silently screaming inside. The mathematical equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again?" except with partial derivatives and existential dread!

The ultimate sonic irony! When fighter jets break the sound barrier, they create that epic sonic boom that rattles windows for miles—but the pilots themselves? They're literally outrunning their own sound waves! 🤯 It's like throwing an amazing party but being too fast to attend it yourself. The physics here is mind-bending: once you exceed Mach 1 (about 767 mph), you're moving faster than the pressure waves you create can propagate through air. Everyone behind you gets the thunderous boom, while you zoom forward in blissful ignorance of your acoustic masterpiece! The pilot's dilemma: create the coolest sound in aviation and never get to hear it. Talk about a supersonic FOMO!
