Nah Totally The Contractor's Fault

Physics students thinking they've outsmarted the universe with their "brilliant" perpetual motion machine, only to get smacked by the laws of thermodynamics. The meme shows the classic "portal perpetual motion" thought experiment where water flows through one portal, falls through another, powers a turbine, and supposedly creates infinite energy. Spoiler alert: The Second Law of Thermodynamics is sitting in the corner, laughing hysterically at your "genius" plan. Energy can't be created or destroyed, but dreams of free electricity certainly can be!

The ultimate engineering turf war! What we're seeing is two different fields battling over who owns "Euler's equation" - but they're talking about completely different equations! The top shows the beam deflection equation (beloved by structural engineers), while the bottom shows the continuity equation from fluid dynamics (aerodynamicist territory). It's like watching two people argue about "Taylor" and one means Taylor Swift while the other means Taylor series. The specialized jargon that makes each field feel superior is the same thing making communication impossible. Engineering departments everywhere are feeling personally attacked right now.

The existential crisis of every engineering student who just spent 14 hours trying to make a simple cylinder in SolidWorks only for the program to crash. The name "SolidWorks" becomes an ironic plea when your project deadline is approaching and the software decides to have an identity crisis. That nervous "I sure hope it does" captures the fragile relationship between engineers and their CAD software - a relationship built on crashed sessions, lost work, and prayers to the autosave gods.

Engineering students giving a thumbs up to tears having a pH of 7.4 is the most relatable science pain ever! While chemistry majors are busy memorizing the entire periodic table, engineers are just happy to recognize ONE consistent value they can actually remember from their required chem course. That magical 7.4 shows up on every exam somehow! It's like meeting an old friend in a crowd of terrifying strangers called "acid-base calculations." The best part? Those tears are probably their own from pulling all-nighters trying to balance chemical equations!

Ever had that moment when you realize your electrical calculations were... slightly off? This poor soul is casually pumping several hundred amps through a wire rated for just 10A. That's like trying to force Niagara Falls through a drinking straw! The melted pile of wire on the right is what's left of their ambitious experiment. Physics doesn't negotiate with electrical engineers who ignore Ohm's law. That wire didn't just give up—it straight up vaporized in protest.

The eternal struggle between Hollywood fantasy and engineering reality! While pop culture has convinced us that transformers are giant alien robots ready to save Earth (or destroy it, depending on which side they're on), electrical engineers are sitting there like "Actually, it's just a device that transfers electrical energy between circuits using electromagnetic induction." The diagram shows the decidedly less cinematic but infinitely more practical reality: a core with primary and secondary windings that manipulate voltage through magnetic flux. No explosions, no dramatic transformations, just elegant physics doing its thing. Michael Bay would be so disappointed.
