The False Economy Principle
The classic corporate cost-cutting paradox in its natural habitat!

Behold! The ultimate physicist's dream and thermodynamicist's nightmare! This M.C. Escher-inspired perpetual motion machine is basically what every energy startup's pitch deck looks like. "Just build an impossible waterfall that defies gravity, harness infinite energy, and BAM—profit!" If only breaking the laws of physics was this easy! First-year engineering students and cryptocurrency investors would be billionaires by now! The only thing missing is Step 4: "Explain to the Nobel committee why they should ignore the first law of thermodynamics just this once."

The Unsung Heroes Of Tech
The tech industry hierarchy in one perfect metaphor!

The real MVP is always the person frantically typing commands at 3 AM when the production server catches fire!
