The Engineering Pecking Order

The eternal battle between creative types and code monkeys! While artists scream "BLASPHEMY!" at AI taking over their sacred artistic duties, engineers are practically weeping tears of joy at being liberated from tedious tasks. Finally, no more staying up until 3 AM debugging that one function that keeps returning NaN for absolutely no logical reason! The sweet, sweet automation revolution has engineers experiencing rapture while artists experience... well... rapture of a different kind. The great AI takeover: career-ending catastrophe or divine intervention? Depends entirely on which side of the STEM divide you've planted your flag!

Oh, the eternal quest for the physics-defying dream machine! This poor soul is waiting for a perpetual motion device in 2025, completely unaware that thermodynamics is laughing maniacally in the corner. It's like waiting for pigs to fly or for your experimental data to match your hypothesis on the first try! The laws of physics are basically that one friend who always says "I told you so" - energy can neither be created nor destroyed, just transformed into disappointment. The 532,193 likes suggest there's a support group for the thermodynamically challenged!

The step function doesn't gradually ease into change—it just wakes up one day and chooses violence. Zero to one in no time flat. No warning, no transition period, just boom —instant transformation. This is basically how my coffee kicks in every morning. The emoji's exploding brain perfectly captures that moment when a previously stable system suddenly jumps to a completely different state. Engineers trying to model real-world systems with these mathematical discontinuities are probably nodding knowingly while silently cursing under their breath.

Engineer with a degree: "I want to design revolutionary infrastructure and solve complex problems." Railroad industry: "Here's a divine calling to maintain 200-year-old technology that hasn't fundamentally changed since the steam era." The career trajectory of engineering graduates is the greatest thermodynamic example of potential energy never converting to kinetic energy. Thirteen years of education just to apply the same solutions from 1950. The only innovation happening is finding new ways to pretend you're busy during mandatory safety meetings.

Nothing quite captures the chaos of electronics like an op-amp that decides to break the laws of circuit physics. You feed it nice, steady DC inputs, and what does it do? Spits out AC like some rebellious teenager. It's the electrical engineering equivalent of planting tomatoes and harvesting pineapples. The "Ta-da" really sells it—like your circuit is proudly showing off its complete disregard for your sanity. This is why I keep a bottle of scotch in my lab drawer. Twenty years of teaching circuit design, and I still get students bringing me these "magic tricks" that would make Maxwell roll in his grave.

Engineering students have officially reached peak nerdiness by creating technical drawings of... Among Us characters? The "Sus Amogus" blueprint from "Imposter University - School of Engineering" features precise measurements of our favorite little space bean, complete with proper orthographic projections and a 3D model view. Notice how they've meticulously labeled every curve radius and dimension—because apparently ejecting crewmates into space requires engineering-grade precision! This is what happens when CAD nerds have too much free time between thermodynamics problem sets.
