Roman Memes

Roman engineers built aqueducts spanning continents with sticks and rocks, while modern engineers have mental breakdowns when SolidWorks crashes for the fifth time today. Nothing humbles you quite like realizing ancient Romans could calculate precise gravitational flow across 120km without a calculator, while you're sobbing because your constraint tool is throwing errors. The duality of engineering evolution: from "I will conquer physics with my bare hands" to "please computer, just work for 5 minutes without crashing." Progress?

The Romans built architectural marvels with nothing but basic trig and muscle, while modern engineers can't get through the day without their software crashing. Nothing says engineering evolution like going from "I'll eyeball this aqueduct with some rope and a plumb bob" to "Please don't update Windows during my rendering." The most sophisticated Roman calculation was probably "this angle looks about right" and yet their structures are still standing 2000 years later. Meanwhile, I just lost 3 hours of work because AutoCAD decided to have an existential crisis.
