The Two Greatest Things To Have Ever Been Created

The resistor that couldn't resist! Get it? Because it's LITERALLY a resistor—an electronic component whose entire job is to resist electrical current! The caption "sorry, I couldn't resist" is the perfect electrical engineering dad joke. It's like the resistor is apologizing for failing at its ONE JOB while simultaneously making a pun about its existence. Next time your circuit board acts up, just remember—some components have commitment issues!

Nuclear reactor humor with a radioactive twist! This meme spoofs the infamous Chernobyl disaster with doge characters as Soviet nuclear engineers. The "RBMK Reactors do not explode" line references the real historical denial by Soviet officials despite clear evidence to the contrary. The "anyone taste metal?" quip is the terrifying cherry on top—radiation exposure causes a metallic taste in your mouth right before things get... well, melty. It's basically the nuclear physicist's version of "this is fine" while everything's absolutely not fine.

When engineers say they put their heart into their work, they mean it literally! This meme is playing with the file extension ".dwg" which is used for AutoCAD drawings—the bread and butter of mechanical engineers everywhere. Instead of having normal human organs, this person's got technical blueprints where their stomach should be! It's like their body runs on engineering specs instead of food. Next time your engineer friend says they're "built different," maybe check if they've got schematics instead of a digestive system!

Finally, someone cracked the energy crisis! This brilliant innovator has discovered what physicists have missed for centuries—just strap a generator to your electric car's wheel and create infinite energy! It's like trying to charge your phone by plugging it into itself and expecting a miracle. This masterpiece of engineering violates only the fundamental laws of thermodynamics. That tiny detail where you can't create energy from nothing? Pfft, just an inconvenient suggestion! Next up: solving world hunger by eating pictures of food.

The engineering marvel of a detachable cabin sounds brilliant until you realize... wait, what about the pilots?! This concept showcases a spectacular oversight in emergency design thinking. While passengers float gently to safety under parachutes, the flight crew is left with the equivalent of "good luck with the flaming wreckage!" It's basically the aviation version of "I'm going to the store for milk" and never coming back. The contrast between the serene passenger cabin descent and the implied fiery doom of the pilots perfectly captures how even ingenious engineering solutions can miss catastrophically obvious problems. Safety first... for some!

Engineers looking at fancy new energy technologies like piezoelectrics (pressure-to-electricity), photovoltaics (solar), and cellular respiration (bio-energy) while steam turbines sit there powering 80% of global electricity like: "Cute science project, kid. Call me when you can match my output without needing the sun to shine or bacteria to behave." The brutal reality is that despite all our shiny new tech, we're still mostly boiling water to spin metal things around. Two centuries of innovation and we're basically using fancy kettles. Progress!
