When Language Learning Gets Thermodynamically Challenged

When Language Learning Gets Thermodynamically Challenged
Duolingo just casually teaching basic multiplication while simultaneously preparing you for the inevitable heat death of the universe. Coffee at 40°C multiplied by 3 equals 120°C—a temperature that would instantly vaporize your beverage and possibly your face. Nothing says "language learning" quite like thermal physics problems that could double as safety warnings for nuclear reactor operators.

If A = B And B = C, Then Physicists Need A New Numbering System

If A = B And B = C, Then Physicists Need A New Numbering System
The guy's not wrong. The Zeroth Law basically says if A = B and B = C, then A = C. It's like discovering your coffee mug is the same temperature as your desk, and your desk is the same temperature as your keyboard, so—shocking revelation—your coffee mug is the same temperature as your keyboard. Physicists really spent centuries figuring that out and then had to awkwardly insert it as the "Zeroth" law because they'd already numbered the others. Classic scientific numbering crisis. Next they'll tell us water is wet.

The Heated Semantics Of Getting Cold

The Heated Semantics Of Getting Cold
The physics nerd has entered the chat! This meme is the perfect example of why scientists make terrible roommates. When someone says "I'm getting cold," normal humans grab a blanket. Physicists? They correct your terminology. Technically, cold isn't something you "get" - heat is what transfers, flowing from higher temperature objects to lower ones. So you're not "getting cold," you're "getting less hot" as thermal energy leaves your body. The caption "A heated argument" is just *chef's kiss* - because it's literally an argument about heat transfer while they're freezing their butts off! Next time your thermodynamics professor pulls this pedantic nonsense, remind them that technically, they're not being smart... they're just being less dumb.
