The eternal battle between engineers and DIY enthusiasts everywhere! The meme hilariously divides screwhead types into "Mental disorders" (Phillips, slotted, and Phillips/slot) versus "Sane screw choices" (everything else).
Engineers have strong opinions about fasteners for good reason—strip a Phillips head once during a critical assembly and you'll understand the trauma. The six-lobe (Torx) and hex designs distribute torque more evenly, reducing cam-out and stripping. Meanwhile, those standard Phillips heads are just waiting to ruin your Sunday afternoon project and your will to live.
Next time you're building something and hear distant screaming—that's just someone discovering why "mental disorders" is the perfect label for those traditional screwheads.
