The Diabolical Taxonomy Of Screw Heads

engineering-memes, mechanics-memes, tools-memes, screws-memes, hardware-memes | ScienceHumor.io

Every engineer's nightmare captured in one perfect taxonomy! The meme brilliantly categorizes screw heads based on their personality traits rather than technical specs. The Torx ("fan favorite") is actually reliable, while that slotted monstrosity was clearly "made to be hated" by someone who enjoys watching people suffer. Phillips gets the "what's your name again?" treatment because it strips faster than a magician's quick-change act.

That last empty square though? Pure chaotic energy. It's the screw that exists only in theoretical engineering hell—the one that appears when you've dropped your last good fastener into the void beneath your workbench. The ultimate villain in the fastener cinematic universe.

Boeing's State-Of-The-Art Quality Control

The irony is absolutely delicious here! Boeing's recruitment slide proudly declares "Never compromising on safety or quality" while showing an engineer inspecting what appears to be a structural component... with a flashlight. Because nothing says "rigorous aerospace engineering standards" like squinting at critical aircraft parts with a pocket light! This is basically the aviation equivalent of a surgeon saying "I'll just eyeball it" before an operation. Next-level quality assurance process: if you can't see the cracks with a flashlight, they probably don't exist, right? Safety first... or whenever the proper inspection equipment arrives!

The STEM Family Feud

The most scientifically accurate Venn diagram doesn't exi— Oh wait, here it is! Nothing unites the STEM fields quite like their mutual disdain for each other. Physicists mock engineers who can't win Nobel Prizes, mathematicians scoff at both while being utterly incomprehensible to normal humans, and everyone agrees chemists are inferior (except chemists, who are too busy making things explode to notice). The beautiful irony? They all desperately need each other to make actual scientific progress. It's like a dysfunctional academic family where everyone thinks they're the smart one.

Aerodynamics Of Saddam Hussein

This is peak computational fluid dynamics humor right here! Someone actually ran a CFD simulation on the silhouette of Saddam Hussein and visualized the airflow patterns. The color gradient shows different pressure zones and turbulence as air flows around the figure. The blue region indicates low pressure, while the trailing green-yellow wake shows the turbulent flow separation. Engineers spend thousands of hours optimizing airplane wings for perfect aerodynamics, and then someone uses the same sophisticated software to analyze... this. Pure scientific shitposting at its finest. The drag coefficient must be terrible, but the meme coefficient is off the charts!

When You Open A Drawing Modeled In Mm

Every engineer's nightmare: opening a CAD file modeled in millimeters when your software defaults to inches. Suddenly your precision-crafted component is now the size of a small building! That 5mm screw? Congratulations, it's now a 5-inch monster bolt that could secure the Golden Gate Bridge. The horror on that face is the universal expression of "I just wanted to check one dimension and now my computer is rendering the Death Star." Engineers in the wild can be identified by their muttering about "unit conversion disasters" and reflexively checking the measurement system before opening any file.

The Dark Side Of Engineering

Engineering students start with such optimism! They enter as bright-eyed Luke Skywalkers, ready to harness the mystical powers of calculus and physics. Fast forward to senior year—they've fully embraced the dark side, looking like Kylo Ren begging for sweet release from differential equations and senior design projects. The transformation from "I want to learn the ways of the Force" to "I want to be free of this pain" is basically what happens when you realize those 8 AM thermodynamics classes were actually the easy part. The engineering curriculum doesn't just teach you mechanics; it teaches you suffering.

Thermodynamics Explained By Mike

Mike's face says it all—thermodynamics isn't just a subject, it's an existential crisis . That equation (dQ = dU + p·dV) is the First Law of Thermodynamics, essentially saying energy can't be created or destroyed, just transferred while making everyone's life complicated. The smoke around him perfectly symbolizes the mental fog that descends when trying to balance energy equations at 2AM before finals. Energy is conserved, but your sanity? Absolutely not. The face of someone who just realized the universe is just one giant heat transfer problem that ends in maximum entropy.
