Ideal Transistor My Ass

Ever tried to design something in SolidWorks only to be greeted by a tsunami of error messages? That moment when your perfectly reasonable 3D model triggers EVERY SINGLE ERROR in existence! The software basically saying "Why can't you just be normal?" while you're screaming internally (and maybe externally too). Engineers don't have trust issues—they have SolidWorks issues! Fun fact: some engineers have developed entire rituals before clicking "rebuild" just to appease the SolidWorks gods. It's not CAD software, it's emotional damage with a fancy interface!

Education: "Plagiarism is unacceptable!" Software engineers: "I found this on Stack Overflow, therefore it belongs to everyone." The entire tech industry runs on a delicate balance of copied code and strategic amnesia. Remember that fancy algorithm you're so proud of? Your colleague grabbed it from GitHub while you were getting coffee. The only original code left in existence is the buggy stuff nobody wants to steal.

Poor Homer is the lone "coulomb" in a bar full of "mA·h" (milliampere-hours)! This is basically the electrical engineering version of being the only sober person at a party. While everyone else is measuring battery capacity, Homer's stuck with measuring electric charge. It's like showing up to a basketball game with hockey equipment. The electrical engineers in the room are probably cackling right now while the rest of us wonder why Homer looks so uncomfortable. Next time you feel out of place, just remember—at least you're not a fundamental unit trapped in a sea of derived measurements!

The eternal divide between theoretical precision and practical application! Mathematicians obsess over significant digits while engineers just need something that works. That wide-eyed "Yes" response perfectly captures the engineer's mindset of "whatever number makes this bridge not collapse is good enough for me." The beauty of engineering isn't in decimal places—it's in the glorious approximation that gets the job done without anyone dying. π = 3? Close enough if the rocket still flies!

Roofers are out here calculating roof angles, pitch ratios, and material needs using pure mental trigonometry like cosmic beings of mathematics... meanwhile engineers with multiple degrees double-check 36+44 on their calculators just to be absolutely certain it's 80. The duality of practical vs theoretical math skills is the ultimate cosmic joke. Engineers trust their calculations enough to build skyscrapers but not enough to add two numbers without digital verification!

That look of pure mathematical betrayal! The small angle approximation (sin x ≈ x for x near zero) is actually a legitimate mathematical shortcut used in physics and engineering. But to a math major, this is like saying "2+2≈4.1 is close enough." They've spent years proving theorems with rigorous precision only to watch someone casually commit mathematical heresy. The Taylor series expansion of sin(x) is x - x³/3! + x⁵/5! - ..., so technically the approximation has some merit, but that death stare says "I didn't suffer through Real Analysis for you to butcher calculus like this."
