Which One Is Your Bulb

The eternal struggle of every electronics student! The top diagram cheerfully explains battery flow with dancing electrons and a cute memory aid (OIL RIG = Oxidation Is Losing electrons, Reduction Is Gaining electrons). But then our young friend has an existential crisis! "Wait a minute, isn't it supposed to be positive to negative?" Here's the zappy truth: conventional current (what we teach first) flows from positive to negative, but electron flow (what ACTUALLY happens) goes negative to positive! It's the greatest bamboozle in electrical education! Scientists just picked the wrong direction before they knew what electrons were, and now we're stuck with it forever. *maniacal laughter*

Engineers discovering increasingly better approximations of π is like watching someone have a mathematical orgasm. First, they're mildly impressed with π itself. Then they discover 22/7 (≈3.14286) and get more excited. But when they find out about 21/7 (=3), their minds absolutely explode because suddenly math becomes suspiciously convenient. Nothing gets an engineer more hot and bothered than when a complex number simplifies to something ridiculously easy. It's basically mathematical foreplay.

The ultimate scientific rivalry captured in Minecraft font! Tesla's "CRAFT" versus Edison's "MINE" perfectly symbolizes their relationship. While Tesla crafted revolutionary ideas about alternating current and wireless energy transmission, Edison was busy mining (or stealing) other people's work and claiming it as his own. The historical burn is so electric it could power a city—without Edison's inefficient direct current, of course. History's greatest scientific theft, now available in blocky pixel form!

The eternal divide between programmers and mathematicians captured in one perfect equation! Programmers just casually glance at X = X + 1 like "yeah, that's just incrementing a variable, what's the big deal?" Meanwhile, mathematicians are having a complete existential crisis because this equation breaks the fundamental laws of algebra. In math, a value can't equal itself plus one unless you're diving into some seriously weird number theory. It's like telling a mathematician that 2+2=5 and watching their soul leave their body.

Engineering departments bursting at the seams while pure mathematics sits empty? Yep, that's modern education in a nutshell! Everyone's scrambling for those "practical" degrees that promise employment, while abstract mathematical theory collects dust. The irony? Those engineering formulas they're studying were developed by the mathematicians they're avoiding. It's like everyone wants to drive the car but nobody wants to know how the engine works!

The mathematical walk of shame! This meme shows what happens when you're too lazy to write out the full Taylor series for sine. With each panel, Homer disappears further into the bushes as more terms get dropped from the expansion. For small angles, sin(x) ≈ x is actually a decent approximation, which is why engineers can get away with it. But mathematicians? They'd rather die than commit such blasphemy. The more terms you drop, the more your professor's respect for you vanishes—just like Homer into those bushes.
