High Voltage Home Delivery

infrastructure-memes, electricity-memes, power-memes, broadband-memes, engineering-memes | ScienceHumor.io

Ever looked at power lines and thought "hmm, free electricity delivery service?" That's the energy in this meme! Someone's hilariously misinterpreting the "Broadband Internet" infrastructure plan as offering direct 400 kilovolt electrical service to homes. Spoiler alert: connecting your house directly to transmission lines would turn your living room into a spectacular light show... followed by a pile of ashes! High-voltage transmission lines carry electricity at 100,000+ volts specifically to AVOID sending that much power to your toaster. Your home gets a much safer 120/240 volts after multiple transformers step it down. But hey, who doesn't want to power their gaming PC with enough electricity to light up a small city? 😂

The Thermodynamic Hierarchy Of Language Models

Someone finally found a practical use for thermodynamics diagrams! The meme compares ChatGPT (left) to DeepSeek (right) using engine cycle diagrams. ChatGPT gets the complex Otto cycle with all its labeled strokes and processes, while DeepSeek gets the simplified, cleaner Carnot cycle. Basically saying ChatGPT is overcomplicated while DeepSeek is elegant and efficient. The perfect metaphor for anyone who's ever spent 20 minutes getting ChatGPT to understand a simple prompt. Maximum work output with minimum explanatory heat loss—just like a good Carnot engine.

Nuclear Is The Future

The cognitive dissonance is radioactive! This meme highlights how humans happily inhale fossil fuel emissions dispersed throughout our atmosphere, yet freak out about nuclear waste that's literally sealed in Fort Knox-level containment systems buried deep underground. Fun fact: you'd get more radiation exposure from eating a banana than standing next to a properly stored nuclear waste container. The irrational fear of nuclear energy might just be the greatest scientific PR failure of the modern era – all while we're collectively fine with turning our atmosphere into a carbon dioxide storage unit. Talk about misplaced priorities!

Select All Squares With Execution Units

Ever tried proving you're not a robot while looking at actual computer hardware? That's some next-level inception right there! This meme brilliantly flips the CAPTCHA concept by asking humans to identify execution units on a CPU die photo. Even computer engineers would be scratching their heads trying to figure out which microscopic rectangles actually process instructions. Imagine the computer asking you to prove you're human by understanding its innards better than it does. Talk about technological gatekeeping! Next time your login fails because you couldn't identify all the traffic lights, just remember - somewhere there's a CPU wondering if you can spot its arithmetic logic units.

I Hope You Get The Joke

The engineering joke that separates the nerds from the normies! While most people know RPM as "revolutions per minute," the French have a delightful linguistic quirk where they call it "tours par minute" (TPM). Non-English speakers get it immediately, but everyone else is left staring blankly like Toothless the dragon. It's basically the STEM version of an inside joke that makes engineers snicker while the rest of us pretend to understand. Next time someone mentions RPM, just nod knowingly and mutter "ah, oui, les tours..."

Screw Heads: The Dysfunctional Family Of Engineering

Every engineer's existential crisis captured in one image. The Phillips head gets all the glory, the flathead was clearly designed by someone who hates humanity, and that square drive thinks it's special because it doesn't strip easily. Meanwhile, the hex key is the only one with its life together. But that fifth screw? We've all been there—staring at some bizarre proprietary fastener at 2 AM, wondering if we're having a stroke. And don't get me started on those last three... they're why repair manuals come with a "mental health warning." Nothing says "engineering hubris" quite like creating 37 different ways to connect two pieces of metal.

Crystalline Companionship: When Atoms Are Your Only Friends

Engineering students know the drill - Callister's textbook isn't just reading material, it's emotional support . That crystalline structure on the cover isn't just showing atomic bonding - it's bonding with your soul during those 3AM study sessions. Nothing says "I've hit rock bottom" like finding companionship in a book that explains why actual rocks have their bottom... properties. The crystal lattice won't ghost you, unlike your social life during finals week!
