The GPA Paradox: STEM Edition

Engineering students know the pain! Those textbooks aren't just heavy on knowledge—they're heavy on the wallet too! Instead of splurging on fancy furniture, this brilliant budget-hacker repurposed his $1,000 investment in chemical engineering textbooks into a makeshift TV stand. Talk about expensive structural support! The face says it all: "I didn't realize my degree would cost more than my entertainment system." Next semester he'll probably build a coffee table out of organic chemistry journals and a lamp from lab equipment catalogs. Education: the gift that keeps on taking!

Thermodynamics police, open up! This "infinite energy" scheme is basically the physics equivalent of trying to lift yourself up by your own bootstraps. The meme shows a perpetual motion machine that violates conservation of energy by creating an endless water cycle through portals, then harvesting the falling water's energy with a wheel generator. Here's the problem: energy can't be created or destroyed (First Law of Thermodynamics), and systems always lose energy to entropy (Second Law). Even if portal technology existed, you'd need more energy to maintain the portals than you'd get from the falling water. It's like trying to charge your phone by plugging it into itself. The troll face says it all - this is precisely the kind of "genius solution" that makes physicists wake up in cold sweats.

Engineering students, unite! SpongeBob here is getting the full 3D modeling treatment—being "revolved" around an axis in SolidWorks. It's that magical moment when your 2D sketch suddenly becomes a 3D object by spinning it around like a rotisserie chicken! The pun is absolutely criminal—he's not just being "involved" but "re-VOLVED" (rotation + evolution = engineering humor at its finest). Every CAD designer has felt that maniacal power of turning flat drawings into dimensional monstrosities. The revolution will not be televised... it'll be in SolidWorks!

The eternal MATLAB cycle that every engineer and scientist knows too well! One moment you're screaming at your computer because MATLAB decided your perfectly valid syntax is garbage, the next you're praising it for solving complex equations with a single line of code. It's like dating someone who both makes your life easier AND harder simultaneously. The classic love-hate relationship where indexing starts at 1 instead of 0 and semicolons are your best friends unless you want your console flooded with numbers. The programming equivalent of an abusive relationship you can't quit because, well... those matrix operations are just *chef's kiss*.

The classic engineering bait-and-switch! High school: "I'm pretty good at math and science, engineering seems logical!" First semester of university: *drowning in differential equations while surviving on ramen and caffeine* That moment when you realize your high school physics teacher conveniently forgot to mention that "solving for x" would become "solving for your will to live." The clown makeup isn't applied—it's earned through sleepless nights of wondering why you didn't just major in business like your parents suggested.

That moment when your structural engineering professor asks you to visualize internal forces in a loaded beam and your brain short-circuits! The I-beam diagram shows shear forces (vertical arrows) and bending moments (curved arrow) that occur when the beam is under load. These invisible forces are what keep buildings from collapsing, but trying to mentally picture them in 3D space is enough to make anyone's eyes bulge like our feline friend here. Engineering students know the pain—one minute you're confidently drawing free body diagrams, the next you're staring into the void questioning your life choices.
