The eternal battle between engineers and everyone else who just wants a simple explanation. On the left, we have the engineer's soul leaving their body as they launch into a detailed dissertation about overvoltage, resistor failure, and carbonization processes. Meanwhile, on the right, Chad Normalperson just wants you to know the magic smoke got out. Engineers have this inside joke that electronics work because they contain "magic smoke" - once that smoke escapes (when components burn), the device stops working. It's their way of simplifying complex failure modes while simultaneously mocking those who don't want the 47-minute technical explanation.
