Solder Memes

The gaming industry has finally infiltrated electronics engineering! This solder stand isn't just showing two ways to use it—it's accidentally revealing its secret gaming modes. "Side by side" is clearly co-op mode for when you and your lab partner need to solder while maintaining a healthy competitive distance. "Face to face" is obviously PvP (Player vs Player) for when you need to settle which of you can solder a perfect circuit board fastest. Nothing says "I'm the superior engineer" like making direct eye contact while you both race to finish a PCB. Next they'll be adding achievement badges for "Didn't Burn Self For 10 Minutes" and "Successfully Avoided Breathing Solder Fumes."
