Hot Memes

The engineering hierarchy in its natural habitat. Mechanical and aerospace engineers pretending civil engineers don't exist, while simultaneously terrorizing them with Newton's Second Law. F=ma≠0 is apparently the engineering equivalent of showing a horror movie to a toddler. Meanwhile, civil engineers are just trying to build bridges without getting bullied about their fear of moving objects. Classic STEM food chain dynamics.

Engineering students living in their own dimension where casual conversation is replaced by Navier-Stokes equations. The meme brilliantly captures that moment when someone asks a fluid dynamics enthusiast "how's it going?" and their brain immediately floods with partial differential equations instead of normal human responses. The Navier-Stokes equations shown are the holy grail of fluid dynamics - describing how the velocity, pressure, density and viscosity of a moving fluid are related. They're notoriously complex (one of the Millennium Prize Problems offers $1 million for solving them!), yet to engineering students, they're just casual chitchat material. That final "yea" panel is engineering humor at its finest - as if these incomprehensible equations are just a normal way to respond to "how's it going?" The title "Who Up Stoking They Navier Rn?" perfectly parodies late-night social media posts with "who up?" but for people who stay up late solving fluid dynamics problems instead.
