The Great Unit Rebellion
The eternal war between measurement units personified! Left character stands stoically with an umbrella labeled "radian," refusing to engage with the chaotic world of arbitrary units falling from the sky. Meanwhile, the villain on the right gleefully hoards "mol" units like some deranged unit collector. What's the difference? Radians are elegant, natural units derived from pure mathematics—the ratio of arc length to radius. No arbitrary constants needed! But moles? A contrived number (6.022×10²³) based on how many atoms fit in 12 grams of carbon-12. Pure madness! Next time your chemistry professor demands answers in moles, just whisper "I prefer natural units" and watch their eye twitch begin.

The Speed Of Light Is Just 1, Dumbass
Ever notice how physicists love to complicate things? The meme brilliantly captures the elegant simplicity of relativity. In natural units where c=1, the speed of light is indeed just... 1. No need for those pesky 299,792,458 meters per second. Einstein himself would've appreciated this cosmic burn—he designed relativity equations to work beautifully when c=1, and then we humans had to go and make it complicated with our arbitrary measurement systems. Next time someone flexes with the full numerical value, just whisper "natural units" and walk away.

From Apples To Natural Units: The Physics Education Journey
From "apple, banana, airplane" to setting fundamental constants equal to 1? That escalated quickly! The bottom equation shows physicists' favorite trick: setting Planck's constant (ℏ), speed of light (c), and gravitational constant (G) to 1 to simplify equations. It's like saying "these numbers are too annoying to keep writing, so they're all 1 now, deal with it." This is how theoretical physicists cheat on their math homework. The real flex isn't solving equations—it's making them disappear entirely. And yes, this is exactly how Han Solo made the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs—by conveniently redefining his units of measurement!

Unit S? You Mean Unit S
Regular physicists: *using standard units like a normal person* Astrophysicists: "Why measure things in different units when we can just use SECONDS FOR EVERYTHING?!" 🤣 In astrophysics, they actually convert everything to seconds using constants like the speed of light (c). So distance becomes light-seconds, and mass becomes... you guessed it, seconds! It's like they're time-obsessed space wizards who decided the universe should run on a single unit. Next thing you know, they'll measure your height in seconds too!

The Ultimate Unit Flex: Planck Or Go Home
The measurement unit hierarchy has been exposed! While metric and imperial users scream at each other like Harry and Ron in a flying car, theoretical physicists are cackling like Tom the cat because they've transcended mundane measurements altogether. They've set all fundamental constants (speed of light c, reduced Planck constant ℏ, gravitational constant G, and Boltzmann constant k) equal to 1, eliminating units entirely! This is the ultimate power move in physics—why mess with kilometers or miles when you can just warp spacetime itself? Next time someone asks "how far?" just answer "0.0000000000000000000000000163 Planck lengths" and watch their brain melt.
