Multimeter Memes

Behold! The multimeter has spoken, and it's channeling its inner Borg! This Fluke multimeter is set to measure ohms (Ω) - which measures electrical resistance - but instead of showing a number, it's declaring resistance is "FUTILE." It's basically the electrical engineering equivalent of your toaster becoming sentient and threatening world domination. Next thing you know, your oscilloscope will be demanding human sacrifices and your soldering iron will start writing manifestos! 🤖⚡

Even electrical equipment has seen Star Trek! This multimeter is clearly a Borg fan, displaying "FUTILE" when set to measure resistance (ohms). The perfect inside joke for engineers who know the famous line "resistance is futile" from the show. Your circuit components might as well surrender and be assimilated at this point. Next time your project fails, just blame it on the multimeter's existential crisis.

The perfect crossover between Star Trek and electrical engineering doesn't exi-- That Fluke multimeter is set to measure ohms (Ω), which is the unit for electrical resistance. And there it is, displaying "FUTILE" instead of a number. Just like the Borg's famous catchphrase "resistance is futile," this multimeter has given up on measuring resistance altogether. Somewhere, a frustrated engineer is wondering if they've been assimilated into a collective of broken test equipment.

The linguistic rebel of the engineering world! This meme is playing with the fact that the device shown is typically called a "multimeter" (measures multiple electrical properties like voltage and current), but the creator is making a hilarious etymological argument. Since "multi" comes from Latin and "meter" from Greek, they're insisting it should be called a "polymeter" (poly = Greek for many). It's that classic nerdy hill to die on - demanding etymological consistency in our technical jargon! Next they'll be telling us "television" should be "telerama" because mixing Latin and Greek roots is scientific blasphemy! 😂
