The Three Types Of CFD Engineers
Engineers who use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software fall into three distinct camps on this bell curve of sanity: On the far left (0.1%), we have the "Pretty color :)" crowd who just enjoy making rainbow-colored fluid simulations without understanding the math. In the middle (34% on each side), we find normal engineers using CFD as intended - you know, to solve actual problems. And on the far right (0.1%), there's the "Pretty vectors" gang who've descended into obsession with the mathematical beauty of vector fields. But the true galaxy-brain move? Spending your entire Master's degree simulating a cow as an ideal gas with k-epsilon turbulence. Because nothing says "I've mastered fluid dynamics" like turning farm animals into mathematical abstractions!

The Ultimate Academic Force Field
The ultimate academic force field has been discovered! 🛡️ When professors start bombing your thesis defense with questions about "holes in your argument," "lack of research," and those pesky "questionable assumptions," just unleash the nuclear option: "While valid, these claims are outside the scope of this thesis." BOOM! 💥 Watch as your critiques get obliterated like those mountains in the meme! This magical sentence is basically the academic equivalent of "I acknowledge your point exists but have strategically decided it's someone else's problem." Pure genius for surviving your defense without actually fixing anything!

The Inverse Relationship Of Exam Time And Sanity
The mathematical paradox of exam difficulty! Top panel shows the standard "90 minutes for 60 questions" scenario—a comfortable 1.5 minutes per question. But then there's the PhD qualifier/advanced physics exam reality: "3 hours for 2 questions." That's 90 minutes per question of pure intellectual torture where you'll question your life choices, derive equations from first principles, and probably develop a new eye twitch. The time-to-question ratio increases exponentially with education level, much like how entropy increases in an isolated system. It's the academic equivalent of "the higher you climb, the thinner the air gets"—except the air is your sanity.
