The Engineering Degree To Shelf Stocking Pipeline

The eternal paradox of higher education! Student expresses concern about university exploiting them financially, and the counselor's response? "That's completely ridiculous... now let's enroll you in Ancient Aztec Cave Art that's somehow required for your Computer Engineering degree." Universities operating with the logic of a subscription service that keeps adding random content nobody asked for. "Want to code? Great! First master these hieroglyphics from 1200 BCE. It's essential for debugging Java, trust me."

The entire foundation of electrical engineering rests on a historical blunder. Conventional current flows from positive to negative, but electrons actually flow in the opposite direction. This meme shows the utopian society we'd have if the early electricians hadn't gotten it backwards. No more confusing circuit diagrams, no more "wait, which way is it actually flowing?" moments during exams. Just pure, logical electrical systems where the math and physical reality align perfectly. Instead, we're all stuck converting in our heads like barbarians.

The evolution of problem-solving in its natural habitat! Citizens take the straightforward approach with a neat square and diagonal. Scientists, being the contrarians they are, just have to complicate things by adding an extra line because... peer review demands originality! But engineers? Those magnificent lunatics extend lines to infinity because "technically correct" is their middle name. Why use 5 lines when you can solve it with 3 lines and the crushing weight of existential efficiency?

The ultimate renewable energy plan that Big Oil doesn't want you to know about! This meme brilliantly shows how we could solve the energy crisis with just one grave robbery and some basic physics violations. First, dig up Newton, who's probably already spinning in his grave at how we've butchered his laws. Then, watch as the father of classical mechanics goes into full rotational mode when he sees what we've done with "troll physics." Finally, slap a generator on him and—boom—infinite energy! It's basically the scientific equivalent of putting buttered toast on a cat's back. Sure, it might violate conservation of energy, but think of the electricity bills you'll save! Newton's third law states that for every physicist rolling in their grave, there's an equal and opposite opportunity for a terrible meme.

Engineering textbooks exist in their own reality where penguins are perfect cylinders and friction doesn't exist unless it's making your homework harder. Nothing says "practical application" quite like calculating the aerodynamics of a spherical chicken in a vacuum. Next problem: determine the tensile strength of your remaining sanity after solving this.

Behold, the pinnacle of engineering problem-solving! On the left: a propane torch, labeled "More Fire" - perfect for when your experiment needs that extra combustion boost. On the right: a fire extinguisher, labeled "Less Fire" - for when your scientific ambitions exceed your lab insurance coverage. This is basically the entire field of thermodynamics reduced to its most practical form. Graduate students, take note: sometimes the most elegant solution is also the most obvious. Just remember, every great scientific advancement exists somewhere on this spectrum between "adding fire" and "oh god, too much fire."
