The Stepper Motor She Told You Not To Worry About

The hierarchy of mathematical rigor in a nutshell. Mathematics struts around like some cosmic overlord. Physicists reluctantly bow to mathematical reality while muttering about "reasonable assumptions." Meanwhile, engineers are in the corner cackling as they round π to 3 and declare "close enough for government work." The difference? Mathematicians prove it works, physicists explain why it works, and engineers just need it to not explode. Preferably.

This electrifying dad joke delivers a triple shock of electrical puns! "Grounding" in electrical safety means connecting equipment to earth to prevent shock hazards, but it's also what parents do when kids misbehave. The punchline continues the circuit with "doing better currently" (electricity flows as current) and "conducting himself properly" (conductors allow electricity to flow). It's the perfect storm of parental discipline and electrical engineering terminology wired together into one shockingly good pun!

The ultimate electrical engineering cult. Buddhist monks chanting "Ohm" to a giant resistor while the banner reads "JOIN THE RESISTANCE." It's the perfect circuit for enlightenment - low current, high spiritual impedance. Somewhere, Georg Ohm is either laughing or filing a copyright claim from the afterlife.

Dating your daughter? Better know your math memes! The list is pure math nerd gold—engineers using π = 3, the derivative of e x , and that sneaky 0 0 at the end. But the punchline hits harder than a calculus final on Monday morning. Math humor gatekeeping at its finest! The reference to r/unexpectedfactorial is especially brilliant—where innocent numbers like 5! suddenly become 120. The kind of joke that separates the math majors from the "I use calculators for 7×8" crowd.

Engineers are a different breed entirely. While fantasy heroes dream of slaying dragons, engineers who suddenly gain magical powers immediately think, "How can I violate the fundamental laws of physics with this?" The square-cube law is that pesky little principle limiting how big structures can get before collapsing under their own weight. But with levitation? Those constraints go right out the window. Suddenly that 300-foot-tall mecha with impossibly thin legs doesn't seem so impractical anymore. Give an engineer a superpower and they won't save the world—they'll redesign it with "weird shit" that would make Newton roll in his grave.

Nothing says "cool nuclear physicist" like getting excited about that eerie blue glow in reactor pools. Cherenkov radiation happens when particles move faster than light can through water, creating that distinctive blue shine that's basically nature's way of saying "probably don't drink this." It's like having a fancy gaming PC with blue LED lighting, except instead of impressing your friends, it'll give you radiation poisoning. Nuclear engineers be like: "Regular steam? Boring. Steam with a side of ionizing radiation? Now we're talking!" That cat's face is the perfect reaction to discovering your local power plant uses the forbidden blue Kool-Aid to generate electricity.
