Trans-Sisters In Circuits

The innocent high schooler's dream of designing cool planes crashes into the harsh reality wall built by engineering students! That moment when you realize those "fun math problems" about trains meeting each other were just the appetizer before they serve you differential equations with a side of thermodynamics. The poor kid's still thinking engineering is just "math and planes and shit" while actual engineering students are having existential breakdowns over their fourth all-nighter this week. It's like wanting to be an astronaut because space is pretty, then discovering you need to understand orbital mechanics first! The academic equivalent of "I came looking for copper and found pain."

The crushing disappointment when you discover that your beloved SI units aren't actually based on universal constants but are just as made-up as imperial measurements! That adventurer spent 15 years searching for the ultimate measurement truth only to find out we're all just playing a cosmic game of "let's agree these numbers make sense." The meter was originally defined as 1/10,000,000 of the distance from the North Pole to the equator—which is basically saying "we picked a random fraction of an arbitrarily-sized planet." Even with modern redefinitions using light and quantum mechanics, we're still just picking convenient reference points. Metric zealots in shambles right now.

The dog has clearly been studying topology! This poor pup has been transformed into a mathematical curiosity - a non-orientable surface with only one side and one boundary component. Classic case of accidental 3D modeling gone wrong. The "Boss-Extrude" tool in the corner is the smoking gun - someone hit the wrong button and now Fido's been extruded into a living room sculpture that would make topologists weep with joy. Schrödinger had his cat, but engineers have their extruded dogs!

The classic expectations vs. reality gap strikes again! Wanting professional Computer-Aided Design software but getting Microsoft Paint with hand-drawn measurements instead is the engineering equivalent of ordering a Ferrari and receiving a cardboard box with "vroom vroom" written on it. That crude technical drawing with its meticulously labeled dimensions (12.0mm, 7mm φ) showcases the beautiful desperation of making do with what you've got. Engineers everywhere are silently nodding in recognition of that moment when you realize your brilliant design will have to survive being sketched in the digital equivalent of a crayon.

This meme brilliantly skewers the logical fallacy in engineering criticism! The grid shows identical human skulls labeled with different characteristics (man, woman, gay, straight, etc.), implying our fundamental biological equality—until the punchline. The final skull is hilariously deformed, representing "people who say engineers are bad because Rome made better roads without engineers." What makes this extra funny is the historical inaccuracy of the claim itself. Roman roads were absolutely engineered! The Romans had dedicated engineers who designed sophisticated multi-layered road systems with drainage, cambered surfaces, and foundations that have lasted millennia. The title "Who Do You Think Designed Said Roman Roads?" drives this point home perfectly. It's basically the STEM equivalent of "tell me you failed history without telling me you failed history."

Engineering students giving a thumbs up to tears having a pH of 7.4 is the most relatable science pain ever! While chemistry majors are busy memorizing the entire periodic table, engineers are just happy to recognize ONE consistent value they can actually remember from their required chem course. That magical 7.4 shows up on every exam somehow! It's like meeting an old friend in a crowd of terrifying strangers called "acid-base calculations." The best part? Those tears are probably their own from pulling all-nighters trying to balance chemical equations!
