Graphics Memes

Expectation vs. reality of ray tracing in its purest form! The top shows a gorgeous cyberpunk scene with RTX technology making light bounce realistically off every surface (costing you merely your entire graphics card budget). The bottom? Just some sad little arrows from Physics 101 showing how light actually travels through a lens. Graphics card companies selling RTX: "It's basically quantum computing!" Reality: Drawing straight lines with a ruler. My physics professor would be cackling while my wallet weeps in 3D-rendered tears.

Two nerds flirting in their natural habitat—a bookstore! They both claim to love vectors, but they're talking about COMPLETELY different things! He's all about those physics arrows with magnitude and direction, while she's thinking of the digital design kind with curves and nodes. It's like a mathematical rom-com where they're attracted to each other but their definitions are perpendicular! The ultimate "we're both right but totally wrong" moment in nerd courtship. Somewhere, a calculus professor is giggling uncontrollably.
