From Time To Frequency: A Fourier Misunderstanding

From Time To Frequency: A Fourier Misunderstanding
The mathematical pun is strong with this one! The Fourier transform converts signals from time domain to frequency domain, but someone misheard it as "furry transfem" which is... definitely not what it's called. It's like when your non-STEM friends try to repeat what you study and suddenly you're apparently researching "quantum entanglement of fuzzy cats" instead of quantum computing. The right side shows the actual transformation—complex waveforms broken down into their component frequencies—while the stick figures perfectly capture that moment of scientific miscommunication that happens when math nerds try to explain their work at parties.

The First Lab In Every Single Electrical Engineering Class
Two students staring at an oscilloscope with pure existential terror while a squiggly line mocks their very existence! That magical moment when your professor says "just build a simple circuit" but your waveform looks like it's having a seizure. 104.6 microseconds of difference? Might as well be light-years away from a passing grade! The faces perfectly capture that special blend of confusion and horror when you realize electricity doesn't actually care about your feelings or your GPA. Welcome to EE101, where dreams of building robots are quickly replaced by nightmares about capacitor discharge curves!
