From Time To Frequency: A Fourier Misunderstanding

From Time To Frequency: A Fourier Misunderstanding

The mathematical pun is strong with this one! The Fourier transform converts signals from time domain to frequency domain, but someone misheard it as "furry transfem" which is... definitely not what it's called. It's like when your non-STEM friends try to repeat what you study and suddenly you're apparently researching "quantum entanglement of fuzzy cats" instead of quantum computing. The right side shows the actual transformation—complex waveforms broken down into their component frequencies—while the stick figures perfectly capture that moment of scientific miscommunication that happens when math nerds try to explain their work at parties.
