Someone Should've Warned Him

When your thermodynamics professor said "real-world applications," this probably wasn't what they meant. Someone actually calculated the carbon footprint of a 15-minute shower encounter with frightening precision. From water consumption to energy expenditure to CO₂ emissions—proof that engineers can turn literally anything into a homework problem. Climate scientists take note: we've identified a previously undocumented source of greenhouse gases. Next time someone asks "was it hot?" they can respond with "approximately 5.25 kWh worth."

The engineering-to-business pipeline is REAL, folks! 🤣 First integral looks scary? *SMASH* that business major button! The meme captures that magical moment when calculus transforms dreams of building rockets into suddenly discovering a passion for marketing spreadsheets. Engineering departments should just install these buttons in every classroom to save time. "Is this going to be on the exam?" *button glows enticingly*

The classic case of "I followed the specs exactly!" gone terribly wrong. This metal slide is basically a solar-powered child roaster because someone ignored the engineer's warning about direct sunlight. Metal conducts heat exceptionally well—it's why we make frying pans out of it, not playground equipment exposed to the elements! This is why engineers drink. We design something perfectly reasonable with clear instructions, then watch in horror as people implement it in the worst possible way. The slide works flawlessly... at reaching temperatures that could fry an egg. Task failed successfully!

First semester vs. final semester of engineering school - a transformation more dramatic than any chemical reaction! The top ID shows a bright-eyed, hopeful soul ready to conquer differential equations. The bottom ID reveals the truth: sleep has become theoretical, coffee has replaced blood, and that thousand-yard stare comes from calculating beam deflection at 4 AM for the fifth time. Engineering doesn't break you—it just converts your optimism into practical cynicism with nearly 100% efficiency!

The brutal hierarchy of physics revealed! Mechanics gets the sympathy card while mechanical engineers don't even register on the radar. It's like watching the academic food chain in action—pure physics looking down on its applied cousins with that perfect mix of pity and indifference. The theoretical vs. applied science rivalry continues, with theoretical physicists sitting at the cool kids' table while engineers are busy actually making things work. Mechanics is that middle child getting a condescending pat on the head while mechanical engineers are off building the real world, completely ignored by the ivory tower crowd.
