Was He Stupid Or Just Morally Flexible?

Engineers looking at π and e: "Three. Take it or leave it." 🤣 The eternal battle between mathematical precision and practical application! While mathematicians are busy calculating digits to the trillionth place, engineers are over here like "yeah, we're just gonna round that bad boy down to 3." Who needs those extra 0.14159... digits anyway? Not someone trying to build a bridge before lunch!

Mechanical engineers watching electrical engineers claim springs and capacitors function identically is like Skeletor running away in horror! The audacity! Both store energy (springs mechanically, capacitors electrically) and can be arranged in series or parallel with similar mathematical models (Hooke's Law vs. capacitance equations), but telling a mechanical engineer they're "just the same" is engineering blasphemy worthy of fleeing the conversation. Next they'll claim gears are just physical transistors!

Three engineers standing there contemplating the laws of thermodynamics while the sales guy is already promising customers that entropy can be reversed. Classic corporate dynamics where the people who understand the technical constraints are silently judging while the sales department promises the impossible. And somehow the sales guy still gets the bonus.

That moment when your mathematical intuition kicks in before you even know what a cross product is! The "righty-tighty, lefty loosy" rule is a classic example of trying to describe 3D rotational physics with a 2D instruction—mathematically impossible and infuriating to the budding physicist. What the mom doesn't realize is she's accidentally stumbled into the realm of pseudovectors and the right-hand rule. Trust a precocious 12-year-old to spot the dimensional inconsistency before they've even hit high school algebra. This is why some kids end up with physics PhDs and others just accept that screws turn in mysterious ways.

The expanding brain meme reaches its logical conclusion for engineers! Starting with the normie approach of Photoshop (basic brain), evolving to MS Paint (glowing galaxy brain), and finally ascending to the true intellectual's choice: AutoCAD, where your memes are literally technical drawings with precision lines and coordinates. Nothing says "I have an engineering degree and I'm not afraid to use it" like creating humor with software designed for industrial applications. The progression perfectly captures how engineers view creativity—if it doesn't have measurement lines and a proper scale, is it even worth sharing?

The eternal battle between clean code purists and pragmatic developers captured in cinematic glory! The British naval officer (representing senior developers or code reviewers) looks down his powdered nose at the pirate's spaghetti code monstrosity. Meanwhile, Captain Jack Sparrow embodies every developer who's ever cobbled together a hacky solution that somehow works in production. This is basically the software development equivalent of duct-taping equipment together in a lab. Sure, it violates every best practice in the book, but if your janky Python script successfully processes those terabytes of research data... who's really winning? The elegant solution that doesn't exist yet, or the ugly one keeping your servers running?
