Still Si[Ng]Le: Engineering Solutions To Dating Problems

Ever noticed how engines are basically energy wasting machines? 😂 This brilliant diagram shows the sad truth of thermodynamics in action! In diesel engines, only about 30-40% of the fuel's energy actually makes it to the wheels as "useful work." The rest? It's just throwing a party elsewhere as heat, noise, friction, and other parasitic losses! It's like ordering a large pizza but only getting to eat 3 slices while your roommates (who didn't pay) steal the rest. The Second Law of Thermodynamics strikes again - no system is 100% efficient, and entropy always increases. Engineers spend their entire careers fighting this uphill battle against physics, trying to squeeze every last drop of efficiency from these mechanical beasts. And yet, thermodynamics just laughs and goes "brrrrrrr" with your wasted energy!

The ultimate scientific flex! This Venn diagram perfectly captures the academic food chain where physicists reign supreme. According to this diagram, physicists can mock engineers, get paid well, AND be better than chemists—the STEM field trifecta! Meanwhile, mathematicians are stuck just mocking engineers, engineers can't win Nobel Prizes, and chemists... well, they're apparently everyone's punching bag. The center suggests that the ultimate achievement in science is being better than chemists. Whoever made this was definitely a physicist with an axe to grind and a superiority complex the size of a supermassive black hole. The interdepartmental shade is strong with this one!

This is a brilliant electrical engineering dad joke that works on multiple levels! The concerned parent posts about their son eating electrical cords, and Geoff responds with "Ground him until he conducts himself properly." It's a perfect triple pun playing on: 1. "Grounding" as punishment for kids 2. "Grounding" in electrical systems (connecting to earth to prevent shock) 3. "Conducting" as behavior vs. electrical conductivity The shocking truth is that proper electrical safety is no laughing matter, but this response has 100% resistance to being unfunny!

First panel: Screaming at your computer like it personally insulted your research methodology. Second panel: The quiet realization that you're the one who forgot a semicolon. MATLAB doesn't care about your deadlines or your dignity. Six hours of debugging only to discover you're the architect of your own suffering. Just another Tuesday in computational science.

Transportation engineers watching millions of crashes like: "Have you tried turning your driving off and on again?" 🔥 The classic IT support response applied to road safety! Engineers design the systems, but then blame the "wetware" (that's YOU, human drivers) when statistics go boom. It's like blaming the keyboard for typos! The dark humor here is how engineers distance themselves from design flaws by labeling catastrophic statistics as simple "user error" - as if 14 million crashes are just people not reading the road manual properly. Next they'll suggest roads would be perfectly safe if humans didn't exist!

The eternal battle between perfectionism and practicality! Electrical engineers sobbing uncontrollably at the mere suggestion of using pre-made solutions while the rest of the engineering world casually drops in an Arduino and calls it a day. The electrical engineer's soul is physically wounded by the thought of not designing custom PCB boards from scratch—it's like suggesting a gourmet chef use instant ramen. Meanwhile, other engineers are living their best lives in plug-and-play paradise. This is why project timelines mysteriously triple whenever an EE joins the team!
