The Forbidden Knowledge Of Engineers

The eternal battle between engineers and everyone else who just wants a simple explanation. On the left, we have the engineer's soul leaving their body as they launch into a detailed dissertation about overvoltage, resistor failure, and carbonization processes. Meanwhile, on the right, Chad Normalperson just wants you to know the magic smoke got out. Engineers have this inside joke that electronics work because they contain "magic smoke" - once that smoke escapes (when components burn), the device stops working. It's their way of simplifying complex failure modes while simultaneously mocking those who don't want the 47-minute technical explanation.

Physics students seeing this free body diagram be like: *internal screaming intensifies* 😱 This monstrosity is what happens when your physics professor has had way too much caffeine . That tiny 0.0005 N force is just there to mock your sanity while the negative gravity (-5g) is basically saying "Newton's laws? We don't know her!" 🙃 The random 107.66g force coming from nowhere is the cherry on top of this physics nightmare sundae. It's like someone took a perfectly normal mechanics problem and let a chaotic evil dungeon master redesign it!

Programmers evolving through the C language family like they're unlocking cosmic superpowers! Starting with plain ol' C (yawn), then leveling up to C++ with object-oriented goodness, before ascending to C# with its Microsoft-flavored magic. But wait—there's more! The bottom two aren't even real languages but some interdimensional programming joke where your brain transcends reality and you start coding in 4D and 5D. The facial expressions perfectly capture that moment when your code finally compiles versus when you've become one with the machine and can see matrix code falling around you. The final form? You're basically Doctor Manhattan but with better debugging skills.

The academic hierarchy strikes again! Non-STEM majors see engineers as sophisticated microscope-wielding intellectuals, while math and physics majors see them as Patrick Star with a hammer. 😂 It's the perfect illustration of perspective in academia - everyone's an expert until you meet someone who thinks your complex calculations are just glorified hammering! The relativity isn't just in Einstein's equations, it's in how we judge each other's disciplines!

Dating in engineering school be like: "She was sending mixed signals" isn't just about confusing emotions—it's LITERALLY about waveforms! 📊 Our hero here took "analyze the situation" to a whole new level by running her communication through a Fourier transform. For the uninitiated, FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) breaks down complex signals into simple sine waves—perfect for figuring out if that "maybe" text contains hidden frequencies of interest! Next time someone's giving you confusing vibes, just hook them up to an oscilloscope. Science solves everything... except maybe actual human relationships. 🤓⚡

The hierarchy of mathematical respect is too real! Mathematics struts around like some cosmic overlord declaring "I am inevitable" while physicists reluctantly bow down to mathematical reality. Meanwhile, engineers are just cackling in the corner like "π = 3? Close enough!" This is basically the scientific food chain in action. Mathematicians create the rules, physicists try to apply them precisely, and engineers... well, they're too busy making things work to care if they've rounded a few decimals. "Good enough for government work" is practically their battle cry!
