Strain Memes

Engineering students roasting each other only to discover they're all equally traumatized by statics problems! The meme brilliantly captures that moment when you realize stress and strain calculations have broken everyone's spirit. That final panel with the void-faced "no" is basically every engineering student at 3AM before the mechanics exam. The monkey's comeback is pure gold—turns out nobody can solve these problems without having an existential crisis first.

When someone asks an engineer "How are you?", they don't just say "fine" - they pinpoint their mental state on a stress-strain curve! The red dot shows they're right at the yield point (Y), where materials begin to deform permanently. Translation: they're hanging on by a thread before total structural failure. Engineers don't have bad days, they have "non-linear deformation responses to applied social stressors." This is why you don't make small talk with engineers unless you're prepared for a full materials science lecture.
