It's Lit: Feline Calculus Edition

Congratulations humanity, we've invented... *checks notes*... sailing ships! The pinnacle of innovation is apparently circling back to wind power after burning through fossil fuels like there's no tomorrow (plot twist: there might not be). Nothing says "cutting-edge technology" quite like rediscovering what we were doing with canvas and wooden masts centuries ago, except now we're calling them "giant kites" and acting like we've cracked the Da Vinci code. Next breakthrough: fire! Have you heard of it? Revolutionary heat technology!

The optical illusion that breaks physics majors' brains! This table appears to be floating because the back legs are perfectly aligned with the front legs from this camera angle. Engineers don't just solve problems—they create them too. It's like they're saying "gravity is just a suggestion" while the rest of us question our understanding of reality. Next up: a chair that looks like it's phasing through dimensions.

Chemistry Reddit just got invaded by the polymer people! What we're seeing is someone casually pouring 50 LITERS of a viscous polymer solution while asking for "improvement ideas" like they're sharing a cookie recipe. The bottom panel shows the classic "Sir, a second plane has hit" meme format, but with "SIR, A SECOND CUM LUBE SYNTH HAS HIT /R/CHEMISTRY" - implying the subreddit is being hilariously overrun by these bizarre industrial-scale personal lubricant formulations. The chemistry community is simultaneously horrified and fascinated by this polymer chemist gone rogue. It's basically what happens when someone discovers they can use their lab skills for... extracurricular activities. 💦🧪

Dating your daughter? Better know your math memes! The list is pure math nerd gold—engineers using π = 3, the derivative of e x , and that sneaky 0 0 at the end. But the punchline hits harder than a calculus final on Monday morning. Math humor gatekeeping at its finest! The reference to r/unexpectedfactorial is especially brilliant—where innocent numbers like 5! suddenly become 120. The kind of joke that separates the math majors from the "I use calculators for 7×8" crowd.

Engineers live in a world of practical approximations—"close enough" gets the job done! Meanwhile, mathematicians are having an existential crisis if you dare suggest that a spherical cow in a vacuum isn't pure blasphemy. The title "Assume Silver Is An Ideal Gas" perfectly captures this divide—it's the kind of simplification that would make an engineer nod while causing a mathematician to scream like that cartoon rat. Pure math demands ABSOLUTE TRUTH, while engineering just needs something that won't collapse or explode... usually.

The disciplinary descent into madness, visualized. Engineers create meticulous blueprints with the illusion that anyone will understand them. Physicists simplify reality into neat little quark diagrams while muttering "trust me, the actual math would melt your brain." And then there's mathematicians—existing in a realm where abstract shapes represent concepts so divorced from reality that even they've forgotten what they're modeling. The progression perfectly tracks the increasing distance between practical application and pure theory. Next level would just be a philosopher pointing at empty space saying "this represents everything and nothing simultaneously."
