Engineers Only Have One Joke 😄

This T-Rex is killing it with mathematical pickup lines! First, he claims his girlfriend is √-100, which in math terms is 10i (where i is the imaginary unit). Then he delivers the punchline: "She's a perfect 10 but imaginary" – because imaginary numbers aren't "real" in the mathematical sense. The final panel wraps it up beautifully with "Our Relationship is Complex" – a triple entendre since complex numbers contain both real and imaginary parts, relationships can be complicated, and clearly this dinosaur's dating life exists purely in his head. Even the dinosaur audience looks thoroughly unimpressed with his mathematical dad jokes. Poor T-Rex, crushing calculus but not crushing the dating scene!

That moment when you realize the numerical system we call "base 10" is completely arbitrary! In any number system, the base is always written as "10" in its own system. Base 2? In binary that's "10". Base 16? In hexadecimal that's "10". Base 12? You guessed it—"10"! It's like discovering your whole mathematical life has been a lie. The number after 9 isn't special—it's just where we decided to start a new column! This is the kind of mathematical mind-explosion that makes you question reality while your non-math friends slowly back away from the conversation.

The mathematical community: civilized and orderly when discussing addition (one universally accepted symbol), but complete chaos when it comes to multiplication notation. Nothing triggers mathematicians quite like notation wars! The top image shows a formal, dignified meeting with everyone in perfect agreement on A+B. Meanwhile, the bottom is pure anarchy with five different multiplication symbols (A·B, A*B, A×B, AB, A(B)) and everyone fighting like they're defending their PhD thesis. The real irony? Mathematicians who spend careers seeking elegant proofs can't agree on something as basic as how to write "times." And they wonder why students get confused...

Physics education in a nutshell! First day: "Here's Newton's Second Law, F=ma, simple right?" Next week: "So those partial derivatives of velocity with respect to cylindrical coordinates are just the same thing, but for fluids moving in 3D space with pressure gradients and viscosity terms!" The Navier-Stokes equations are basically Newton's Second Law after it went through puberty, got a PhD, and developed an identity crisis. They're mathematically terrifying but fundamentally just describing how force affects motion in fluids. Classic engineering move - take something elegant and make it look like you're summoning a mathematical demon.

The perfect satire of science denial in mathematical form! Someone's claiming that multiplication is a liberal conspiracy and 3×2 can only equal 5 or 1 (addition or subtraction). It's basically the mathematical equivalent of saying "I reject your reality and substitute my own." The parallel to biology deniers who only accept the parts of science that fit their worldview is *chef's kiss* perfect. Next up: gravity is just a theory, so I'm not falling—I'm choosing to accelerate toward Earth at 9.8 m/s²!

Classical physicists: "We need exact solutions!" Meanwhile, Richard Feynman's just sitting there like "What if we just... draw some squiggly lines?" The beauty of Feynman diagrams is that they turned horrifyingly complex quantum field theory integrals into cute little pictures that even undergrads can understand (sort of). While traditional mathematicians were having existential crises over unsolvable equations, Feynman was like "hold my bongo drums" and revolutionized physics with doodles. The Nobel committee basically gave him a prize for being the ultimate physics hack artist. And that angry guy in the third panel? That's every mathematician who spent years deriving exact solutions only to be upstaged by some feather diagrams and perturbation theory.
