The Engineering Confidence Cliff

Engineering professors dropping truth bombs that would make Isaac Newton nod in approval! Why reinvent the wheel when someone's already perfected the rolling motion? In engineering, we don't call it plagiarism—we call it "standing on the shoulders of giants while pretending we climbed up there ourselves." The entire field of engineering is basically just fancy recycling with equations. Remember kids: originality is overrated when efficiency gets you to the deadline faster!

The existential crisis when you realize π ≈ 3.14159, e ≈ 2.71828, and 3 is just... 3. Putting these irrational celebrities in order is like organizing chaos! Engineers use π ≈ 3 as a quick approximation, hence the screaming engineer who's having a mathematical breakdown seeing these sacred constants treated like ordinary numbers. The answer is C by the way (π > 3 > e), but that's beside the point when your entire numerical worldview is collapsing! 🤯

The disciplinary superiority complex strikes again! This meme perfectly captures that moment when an engineering professor dismisses every other field of study, and the entire class of future engineers collectively raises their glasses in smug agreement. It's the academic equivalent of a tribal war dance – "our differential equations are better than your Shakespeare sonnets!" The beautiful irony? These same students will eventually work on interdisciplinary teams where they'll desperately need those "useless" non-engineering majors to translate their technical jargon into human language. Nothing bonds engineering students faster than the shared delusion that calculating stress tensors somehow makes them the intellectual elite of campus. The tribal mentality runs so deep you'd think they were calculating the load-bearing capacity of their superiority complex!

The unholy approximation of π=3 is enough to summon mathematical demons. Engineers regularly commit this numerical sin for "close enough" calculations while mathematicians shriek in horror. The difference between 3.14159... and 3 might seem trivial until your bridge collapses or your rocket misses Mars by a few million miles. But hey, significant digits are just suggestions, right? Pure mathematicians are still in therapy over this.

The engineer's solution to a non-right triangle? Just scribble out that pesky non-90° angle and draw in a perfect right angle! Who needs mathematical integrity when you can just redraw reality? This is basically the engineering equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again?" but for geometry. Pure engineering pragmatism at its finest—if the math doesn't fit your needs, just modify the universe until it does!

The eternal physics vs. engineering rivalry in its natural habitat! These physicists are literally forming a circle jerk to congratulate themselves on their theoretical superiority while wearing shirts with their own faces on them. Talk about academic narcissism at its finest! Meanwhile, engineers are out there making things that actually work instead of debating whether cats in boxes are simultaneously alive and dead. The academic hierarchy is a flat circle... much like the Earth according to some YouTube "researchers" these physicists probably argue with on weekends.
