Screw Heads: The Personality Test Engineers Never Asked For

Screw Heads: The Personality Test Engineers Never Asked For
The only screw head shown is the Torx—and it's labeled "the fan favorite." Meanwhile, all the other boxes are empty with personality types like "Made to be hated" and "The gremlin." This is basically the engineering equivalent of zodiac signs. Every engineer has a visceral reaction to different fastener types that borders on religious fervor. Phillips heads strip at the slightest provocation, flat heads were clearly designed by someone who hates humanity, and don't get me started on those proprietary Apple screws. The Torx truly is the chosen one—providing actual grip without shredding your screwdriver or your sanity. Engineers will fight to the death over this stuff while normal people back slowly out of the room.

When You Accidentally Prove 1=1

When You Accidentally Prove 1=1
The mathematical journey from "Doing Algebra" to "x = x" perfectly captures that special moment when you spend 45 minutes on a complex equation, cancel out multiple variables, and arrive at the mathematical equivalent of "water is wet." That face in the final panel is every mathematician silently contemplating their life choices after deriving the most useless tautology in existence. The real breakthrough isn't proving 1=1, it's realizing you've just wasted half your chalkboard to confirm what was already painfully obvious.

The Asymptotic Approach To Cleanliness

The Asymptotic Approach To Cleanliness
The eternal struggle between vacuum cleaners and dustpans perfectly captures the mathematical concept of limits! No matter how powerful your vacuum or how precise your sweeping technique, there's always that infuriating line of dust that refuses to be collected. Just like the limit of x as x approaches 0 - you can get infinitely close, but never quite reach perfection. Calculus professors didn't invent that annoying dust line, but they sure found the perfect way to torture students with its mathematical equivalent.
