It's Still Like That

The engineering pipeline in three stages of enlightenment! First we have the rookie engineer sobbing because "CAD says they fit" but reality demands tolerances. Then there's the bell curve showing the statistical distribution of IQ scores with most people clustered in the middle (68% between 85-115). Finally, the veterans at both extremes of the curve who just shrug and say "that looks good enough" – because they've learned the beautiful truth about engineering: sometimes precision matters, and sometimes you just need the damn thing to work. The middle part of the curve is still calculating while the extremes are already shipping products!

The classic logical fallacy explosion! Someone makes a misleading claim about Germany replacing nuclear with coal, then tries to use that faulty premise to attack renewable energy entirely. Our stick figure hero wasn't having ANY of that nonsense and went full nuclear (pun absolutely intended) on the red-hatted logical fallacy peddler! Fun energy fact: Germany has actually been rapidly expanding renewables while phasing out both nuclear AND coal. The country hit a record 59% renewable electricity in 2023! Turns out you can criticize energy policy without making stuff up - what a concept! *adjusts wild scientist hair while cackling maniacally*

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.

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..."

Someone asked for a height guess and unleashed a mathematical detective! Using the known dimensions of an iPhone 12 (14.6cm), this forensic mathematician created a makeshift measuring stick, calculated the ratio, and deduced her height with terrifying precision. 4.31 feet! This is what happens when you give engineers nothing better to do on social media. Next time just lie about your height like a normal person!

Engineering evolution in a nutshell! On the left, we've got the absolute unit of a Roman engineer—buff Doge with a purple cape who's never heard of calculus but somehow built massive aqueducts that STILL WORK 2,000 years later. Meanwhile, modern engineers are just sad little doges waiting for AutoCAD to stop throwing tantrums. The Romans were out there moving mountains with pure vibes and geometry while we can't even keep our software running! Honestly, sometimes I wonder if we've actually progressed or just traded practical skills for fancy tools that crash right when the deadline approaches. Ancient engineering: less math, more results! 💪
