They Always Take The Credit

The eternal struggle of scientists and engineers captured in one perfect word cloud! While we'd love to say we're all about "humanitarian impact" and "meaningful work," the giant "MONEY" dominating the center speaks the uncomfortable truth. 💸 This classroom poll reveals what STEM students actually prioritize when job hunting. Between "fat stacks," "six figure salary," and the hilariously desperate "I'll take anything," it's the perfect snapshot of idealism colliding with reality! The random "ham sandwich" and "AI girlfriend" entries are the cherry on top of this brutally honest academic moment. Nothing says "future scientist" like dreaming of both Nobel Prizes AND being able to afford avocado toast!

That's not a rant. That's a TED talk. The sender prepared a comprehensive 1 hour, 52 minute, and 33 second voice message detailing their grievances against civil engineers. Probably started with ancient Roman aqueducts and worked their way up to that one pothole they hit every morning. Civil engineers design our infrastructure but can't seem to design a way to escape being everyone's favorite scapegoat when the traffic light takes too long.

Looking at a Mollier diagram is the engineering equivalent of trying to read a subway map while riding a rollercoaster. That tangle of pressure, enthalpy, and entropy lines isn't just a graph—it's a visual assault weapon. Engineering students squint at these monstrosities trying to figure out if water is vapor, liquid, or possibly transforming into a fifth state of matter nobody's discovered yet. The second law of thermodynamics should've included "thou shalt not create incomprehensible spaghetti diagrams that make students question their career choices." Prescription glasses companies must make a fortune during thermodynamics semester!

The Springfield Department of Engineering has cracked the code! The equation "5/π × 3 = 5" perfectly captures that beautiful moment when engineers decide math should be whatever they need it to be. Who needs mathematical accuracy when you can round π to exactly what makes your bridge stay up? Engineers have a special relationship with constants—they're more like suggestions, really. The next time your calculator gives you a messy number, just remember the engineering motto: "Close enough won't kill anyone... probably."

The bell curve of writing implement superiority! Nothing captures the eternal academic struggle quite like your choice of pen vs. pencil. The intellectual middle-grounders (those perfectly average 100 IQ folks) are perpetually trapped in a limbo of indecision—too old for pencils, too young for pens. Meanwhile, the true intellectual outliers have transcended this petty debate entirely. The engineering genius in the hard hat knows that pencils are the only rational choice when your calculations might kill someone, while the toddler-brained among us just want something to chew on. The statistical distribution of writing implement wisdom proves once again that both the very smart and very dumb occasionally arrive at the same conclusion, just for wildly different reasons.

Engineers having a collective meltdown when Newton's First Law gets violated! The equation "ΣF≠0" (sum of forces not equal to zero) is basically physics blasphemy. While mechanical engineers calculate every tiny force with smug precision, civil engineers panic because unbalanced forces mean bridges go BOOM! It's like telling a chef their soufflé defies gravity. Next thing you know, buildings start floating and cars drive sideways. *twirls calculator maniacally* WHO NEEDS EQUILIBRIUM ANYWAY?! *throws physics textbook out window*
