Only Trying That Once

The secret to an engineer's physique? Apparently it's being a synthetic humanoid standing in turbulent ocean waters! This is a scene from the sci-fi film "Prometheus" showing the android David, who was literally engineered to physical perfection. Engineers don't build their bodies at the gym—they design and build other bodies in labs! The ultimate workout plan: skip the protein shakes and just program yourself some abs. Next time someone asks about your fitness routine, just say "I'm implementing a bio-mechanical solution to the problem of looking fantastic!"

Classic hypocrisy in STEM fields. We mock engineers for using π = 3 while simultaneously treating spherical cows as legitimate scientific models. Nothing says "I'm a serious physicist" like reducing complex biological organisms to perfect yellow spheres that say "mooooo." Next time you're simplifying a problem, remember you're just one "assume a spherical cow" away from being exactly what you ridicule.

Roman engineers built aqueducts spanning continents with sticks and rocks, while modern engineers have mental breakdowns when SolidWorks crashes for the fifth time today. Nothing humbles you quite like realizing ancient Romans could calculate precise gravitational flow across 120km without a calculator, while you're sobbing because your constraint tool is throwing errors. The duality of engineering evolution: from "I will conquer physics with my bare hands" to "please computer, just work for 5 minutes without crashing." Progress?

Theoretical physicists boldly claim to "fear no man" until air resistance enters the chat. Nothing ruins a beautiful equation faster than drag coefficients. Suddenly your elegant free-fall calculation needs seventeen new terms and three differential equations. The perfect sphere becomes "approximately spherical" and your homework takes twice as long. Real-world physics is just theoretical physics with disappointment built in.

The classic "count the cubes" puzzle gets progressively more galaxy-brain with each solution! First, we see the conventional 51-cube arrangement that any normie would calculate. Then comes the 33-cube solution from someone who understands hidden faces. But the true intellectual ascension happens with the 21-cube configuration—defying gravity itself to achieve mathematical minimalism! It's essentially spatial reasoning meets existential rebellion. The brain scans perfectly capture the neural evolution from "I can count blocks" to "I have transcended the fundamental forces of the universe to optimize this trailer load." Physics professors everywhere are quietly nodding in approval while muttering "work smarter, not harder."

The ultimate engineer's passive-aggressive mug! That diagram is a control systems feedback loop saying "If I wanted your input F(s), it would be factored into my system." The transfer function shows that input A(s) goes through controller G(s) to produce output X(s), with feedback H(s) creating signal B(s) - but there's no pathway for external input F(s) to influence the system! It's basically the mathematical way of saying "nobody asked for your opinion." Engineers will silently sip from this during meetings while their colleagues ramble on with unsolicited advice.
