It's Still Like That
Before sophisticated CAD software, engineers drew straight lines by holding a mouse against a ruler. The digital revolution gave us AutoCAD, yet here we are, still combining analog tools with digital ones when the software fails us. Four decades of technological advancement, and the most reliable debugging tool remains the trusty ruler. Progress is an illusion.

To Circuit Or Not To Circuit
The bard meets Boolean logic! This circuit diagram shows Shakespeare's famous phrase "2B or not 2B" translated into digital electronics. The NOT gate (inverter) transforms "2B" into "not 2B," while the OR gate combines them as "2B OR not 2B." The result? "2B + 2B̄" in Boolean algebra notation. Shakespeare would have made a surprisingly poetic electrical engineer - his existential questioning perfectly matches the binary nature of digital logic. To compute, or not to compute—that is the question!

Fractals: Infinite Until Your Graphics Card Says No
The ultimate mathematical betrayal! Fractals are supposed to maintain their intricate pattern no matter how far you zoom in - that's their whole selling point! But look what happens when you keep zooming into this Mandelbrot set... by panel 4, it's just a blurry mess! It's like ordering "infinite mathematical complexity" online vs. what actually arrives in the mail. The beautiful self-similarity breaks down when you hit the pixel limit of digital rendering. Next thing you'll tell me is that infinity has an end too!
