Generational Falloff: From Equations To Exploitation
The classic trajectory of internet "educators" - from solving quadratic equations to solving their midlife crisis. Nothing says "I've abandoned my academic principles" quite like pivoting from teaching differential calculus to differential exploitation. These content creators undergo a transformation that would make Darwin scratch his head: evolving from "here's how to ace your finals" to "here's my foreign bride acquisition strategy." The mathematical probability of this career path was apparently 1.0 all along. It's the perfect illustration of potential energy converting to kinetic disappointment. The saddest part? The thumbnails probably get better engagement than their original math tutorials ever did. The algorithm has spoken, and apparently it prefers creepy tourism over calculus.

Reasons Why AI Can't Replace Laboratory Workers
Ever notice how academia's solution to expensive robots is exploiting grad students? On the left: a million-dollar AI requiring PhD-level maintenance and regular updates. On the right: a lab doge who works for kibble wages, runs on pizza fuel, and can be emotionally manipulated with deadlines! The true innovation in science isn't the technology—it's figuring out how to get humans to work for less than machines. Universities have perfected this economic model for centuries. Who needs silicon when you have desperate students with crippling imposter syndrome? That's the real breakthrough!

Publishers Should Pay Scientists For Their Work
The scientific publishing industry's business model is truly a masterpiece of capitalism. Scientists do the research (funded by taxpayers), write the papers (for free), review other papers (for free), and then publishers charge those same scientists $39.99 to read their colleagues' work. It's like building a house, giving it away, then paying rent to live in it. The "Change My Mind" format perfectly captures what no reasonable scientist actually wants to change their mind about. The only people disagreeing are publishing executives counting their money while contributing approximately zero to scientific progress. And yet we keep submitting to Nature like academic Stockholm syndrome victims. Maybe we deserve this.

The Corporate Engineering Internship Illusion
The corporate engineering bait-and-switch exposed! The top panel shows the noble facade: "We're mentoring the next generation of brilliant minds!" Meanwhile, the bottom panel reveals the harsh reality lurking beneath that mask: "Free labor go brrr." Engineering students thinking they're getting valuable experience while companies are just thinking about their profit margins. The duality of internships hits harder than that first all-nighter before a project deadline.
