Circuit Memes

The punchline here is purely electrical. That's a resistor lying on what appears to be a beach, saying "Sorry, I couldn't resist..." It's basically a component that had one job—to resist electrical current—and it failed spectacularly at its sole purpose. Classic component identity crisis. Engineers everywhere are silently nodding while adjusting their glasses.

Electronics engineers everywhere are simultaneously cringing and nodding in approval. This is the circuit equivalent of using two straws to drink your milkshake faster! Sure, it's a hack that violates the sacred principles of proper circuit design, but sometimes engineering is just about making things work. The parallel transistor configuration doubles the current-carrying capacity, essentially turning your underpowered motor situation into a "brute force" solution. It's like hiring a second person to help push your car when it won't start instead of fixing the engine. Elegant? No. Effective? Absolutely. This is why engineers drink coffee by the gallon – we're constantly torn between "proper solutions" and "I need this working by 5 PM."
