Copenhagen Has Fallen

Graphene thinks it's hot stuff with its single-atom-thick carbon sheet and ridiculous flexibility. Meanwhile, Tom and Jerry are over here casually defying the laws of physics by squeezing through keyholes, flattening like pancakes, and surviving hammer blows that would pulverize diamonds. Scientists spend billions developing super-materials while cartoon characters have been ignoring material science since 1940. The real breakthrough would be figuring out what Tom and Jerry are actually made of. Probably some quantum-cartoon composite that CERN is still trying to discover.

Trying to make electromagnetism exclusively attractive is like asking Maxwell's equations to pick a favorite child. The devil's enthusiasm here is perfectly warranted - electromagnetism fundamentally requires both attraction and repulsion. It's like proposing we make gravity occasionally push things away because you're tired of picking up dropped pencils. Some physical laws just aren't open to peer review suggestions, no matter how politely you phrase the email.

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.

Every physics student knows the panic of forgetting which hand rule to use during an electromagnetism exam! The right-hand rule? Left-hand rule? Fleming's rule? In that moment of desperation, you're frantically making hand gestures under the table hoping nobody notices you're trying to figure out which way the magnetic field points. The struggle is REAL when your grade depends on remembering which fingers go where! 🤘⚡

The ultimate physics student nightmare: Wordle meets equations! This meme brilliantly captures the existential crisis of trying to match the letter "E" with the correct physics formula. Is it Energy (E=mc²)? Electric field? Electron charge? The game cruelly gives you five equations and expects you to know which one traditionally uses "E" as its symbol. What makes this particularly painful is that "E" is probably the most overused letter in physics notation. It's like the discipline's favorite vowel—appearing in everything from Einstein's energy equation to electric fields to Young's modulus. No wonder Fry looks confused; even professors with decades of experience still occasionally mix these up during lectures. The word "MELEE" at the bottom is perfect—because that's exactly what happens in a physicist's brain when trying to keep all these symbols straight!

Engineers watching their underdamped system overshoot like it's auditioning for a dramatic role! That curve is basically the control systems equivalent of "I'm just gonna send it" followed by "wait no I went too far" and then several increasingly half-hearted attempts to correct itself. Every engineering student knows the pain of tuning PID controllers only to watch their system oscillate wildly before finally settling down like it's exhausted from all the drama.
