Structural mechanics Memes

That moment when thousands of humans decide to test the tensile strength limits of the Golden Gate Bridge. Those suspension cables are sweating harder than a freshman during their first physics exam! The vertical cables making that strained face is just *chef's kiss* - they're carrying tons of weight while the main cables are desperately trying to maintain composure. Engineering students take note: this is what we call "real-world stress testing" without the consent of the original engineers. The bridge designers probably never imagined their safety factor calculations would include "what if half of San Francisco stands on it at once?"
