Ideal Transistor My Ass

Meanwhile, I can barely remember to charge my phone. Leonardo da Vinci was that insufferable overachiever from college who made the rest of us look bad. The original "I'll sleep when I'm dead" guy who casually sketched revolutionary war machines between painting masterpieces and dissecting corpses. His resume makes modern "multidisciplinary experts" look like they're playing in a sandbox. Renaissance man? More like Renaissance show-off. And here we are, five centuries later, still talking about him while most of us struggle to master a single TikTok dance.

Engineering humor at its finest! When stress hits the yielding point, ductile materials (like our relaxed Tom) just go with the flow and deform without breaking. Meanwhile, brittle materials (poor Jerry) are one stress away from catastrophic failure! This is basically every material scientist during finals week - some bend, others shatter. The yielding point is that critical threshold where a material stops bouncing back and starts permanently deforming. Metals like copper? Super chill, just stretching out. Ceramics and glass? Total panic mode! Next time your friend handles stress well, call them "impressively ductile" and watch their confusion!

The electronic components fairy strikes again! Just when you think your circuit design is complete, the datasheet gods demand their tribute of extra capacitors and EEs (Electrical Engineers) sprinkle them everywhere like electronic confetti. It's the universal law of electronics: no matter how perfect your design looks, you'll always need "just one more capacitor" for decoupling, filtering, or appeasing the dark magic that makes electronics work. The circuit board never truly reaches its final form!

The hierarchy of mathematical respect is too real! Mathematics struts around like some cosmic overlord declaring "I am inevitable" while physicists reluctantly bow down to mathematical reality. Meanwhile, engineers are just cackling in the corner like "π = 3? Close enough!" This is basically the scientific food chain in action. Mathematicians create the rules, physicists try to apply them precisely, and engineers... well, they're too busy making things work to care if they've rounded a few decimals. "Good enough for government work" is practically their battle cry!

The ultimate engineering hierarchy captured in one image! Mechanical engineers create a meme only they understand, and suddenly everyone else feels like medieval peasants trying to comprehend calculus. The "EE/CpE" in the title refers to Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering majors who are left scratching their heads at mechanical jokes about stress tensors, fluid dynamics, or that one bolt that somehow holds the entire machine together. Engineering disciplines are basically academic kingdoms with their own languages, and mechanical engineers just love reminding everyone they invented the wheel.

You know you've reached peak engineering student when you can't cross a bridge without mentally calculating the load distribution and stress factors. That smug "Meme Man" face is every engineering student who now sees the world as one giant problem set. "Stakits" (a play on "statics," the engineering course) has ruined peaceful walks forever. Now you're visualizing 25 kN point loads and 3 kN/m distributed loads on every structure like some kind of force-obsessed superhero nobody asked for. Normal people see a bridge. Engineering students see a free-body diagram waiting to be solved. The transformation is complete—you now speak fluent truss.
