When Engineering Nerds Play Video Games

cyberpunk-memes, gaming-memes, engineering-memes, infrastructure-memes, standards-memes | ScienceHumor.io

Behold! The intersection of gaming and civil engineering that nobody asked for! Some eagle-eyed player spotted that Cyberpunk 2077's virtual streets contain a critical infrastructure error - they've used a DIN B125 manhole cover (rated for pedestrian areas) on a roadway that clearly needs the beefier Begu D400 model! The sheer AUDACITY of virtual civil engineering malpractice! This is what happens when game developers skip Municipal Infrastructure 101. Next thing you know, the virtual city's sewers will back up and we'll need a downloadable content pack just to fix the digital plumbing. Standards exist even in dystopian futures, people!

Engineers Reading This Like: 'Why Call Me Out Like That?'

Engineers everywhere just felt that burn! 🔥 The perfect example of the technical brain vs. communication skills paradox. Brilliant minds who can design bridges and rockets but somehow struggle to explain what they had for lunch. It's like having a supercomputer running on dial-up internet! The most relatable part? Those 1.4k upvotes are probably all from engineers nodding silently while failing to articulate why they agree.

The Ultimate Mathematical Betrayal

Engineering mathematics textbooks are the stuff of nightmares even for math majors. The sheer terror of finding one in your room that isn't even yours is enough to make anyone break down in tears. It's like discovering someone planted evidence at a crime scene—except the crime is differential equations that would make Einstein reach for the aspirin. Pure mathematicians secretly fear applied math more than they'll ever admit!

The Mass Spectrometer's Career Change

When your mass spectrometer is having an existential crisis and decides to become a rocket engine instead. Those black nozzles are clearly planning their escape from lab life! Three fans in the room and not one of them volunteered to cool down this rebellious equipment's ambitions. The instrument's probably thinking, "I was built to analyze molecules, but I identify as a spacecraft propulsion system." Next week on Lab Equipment Gone Wild: The centrifuge that dreamed of being a DJ turntable.

Thermodynamics And Heat Transfer Got Me Calculating Semi Infinite Apple Slices

Food engineering students experiencing the brutal reality check. The top panel shows the dream: "This looks cool!" The bottom panel reveals the nightmare: calculating heat flux through marshmallows like they're solving rocket science. Those semi-infinite approximations hit different when you're staring at food instead of textbooks! Engineering professors really be turning snack time into differential equations. Next time you bite into a perfectly toasted marshmallow, pour one out for the poor souls who had to model its thermal conductivity.

Taking "Ground Wire" Too Literally

Whoever set up this electrical system took the ground symbol WAY too literally! Instead of properly connecting the ground wire to a grounding rod, they've taped a bag of ACTUAL DIRT to the wall with the ground symbol on it. 😂 This is what happens when you follow the instructions but completely miss the point of electrical safety! The electrons are like "Um, guys, I don't think this is what they meant by 'return to earth'..." Shocking example of why you should probably hire a professional instead of watching a 5-minute YouTube tutorial!

He's Just A Friend (With Better Welding Skills)

When your welding job looks like it was done by a toddler with a hot glue gun versus the precision of a master craftsman. This is the engineering equivalent of "don't worry, my ex is totally ugly" and then finding out they look like a supermodel. That top weld isn't just bad—it's the kind of catastrophic failure that keeps structural engineers up at night. Meanwhile, the bottom weld is so perfect it belongs in a metallurgy textbook. Nothing says "trust issues" quite like comparing your janky repair work to someone who clearly knows what they're doing with a TIG welder.
