Sonic Memes

Found the physics major. Nothing says "instant friendship" like bonding over Maxwell's equations and the collective trauma of Griffiths' Electrodynamics textbook. That blue hedgehog knows what's up—skip the small talk and go straight for the divergence of the electric field. The rest of us are still trying to figure out why our phone chargers sometimes work and sometimes don't.

The eternal struggle of scientific research! Someone innocently searches for "sonic choking" (a legitimate fluid dynamics concept where flow reaches the speed of sound), only to be bombarded with... um... cartoon hedgehog content of questionable nature. 😂 This is the perfect illustration of why scientists need specific terminology in search queries. "Sonic choking fluid dynamics" saves the day! Pro tip: Always add your field name to avoid the weird corners of the internet during research. The internet never fails to remind us it's a wild place, even when you're just trying to study supersonic flow!

Behold the evolution of a physics student's sanity! On the left, we have baby's first physics equation - Newton's simple F=ma. Look at that innocent face! But then... WHAM! The momentum derivative hits and suddenly you're staring into the abyss of higher mechanics! That horrified expression is every student who thought they understood physics until calculus crashed the party. It's the academic equivalent of thinking you're going for a pleasant swim and suddenly finding yourself in the Mariana Trench with only a pool noodle! The transformation from "I love physics!" to "WHAT HAVE I DONE?!" happens faster than light in a vacuum (which is theoretically impossible, much like understanding physics homework on the first try).
