Cries In Hilbert Space

Engineering students living in their own dimension where casual conversation is replaced by Navier-Stokes equations. The meme brilliantly captures that moment when someone asks a fluid dynamics enthusiast "how's it going?" and their brain immediately floods with partial differential equations instead of normal human responses. The Navier-Stokes equations shown are the holy grail of fluid dynamics - describing how the velocity, pressure, density and viscosity of a moving fluid are related. They're notoriously complex (one of the Millennium Prize Problems offers $1 million for solving them!), yet to engineering students, they're just casual chitchat material. That final "yea" panel is engineering humor at its finest - as if these incomprehensible equations are just a normal way to respond to "how's it going?" The title "Who Up Stoking They Navier Rn?" perfectly parodies late-night social media posts with "who up?" but for people who stay up late solving fluid dynamics problems instead.

Parents naming their kids after fictional characters get eye-rolls and hatred. Meanwhile, physicists' kids walk around with full legal names that double as dissertation titles. Imagine the roll call on the first day of school: "Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger?" Kid's simultaneously present and absent until the teacher observes him.

Physics education in a nutshell! First day: "Here's Newton's Second Law, F=ma, simple right?" Next week: "So those partial derivatives of velocity with respect to cylindrical coordinates are just the same thing, but for fluids moving in 3D space with pressure gradients and viscosity terms!" The Navier-Stokes equations are basically Newton's Second Law after it went through puberty, got a PhD, and developed an identity crisis. They're mathematically terrifying but fundamentally just describing how force affects motion in fluids. Classic engineering move - take something elegant and make it look like you're summoning a mathematical demon.

The eternal academic caste system on full display! Physicists looking down on engineers with that unmistakable "I derive the equations, you just use them" expression. Pure theoretical superiority in human form. The hierarchy is real - physicists discover the laws of nature, engineers merely apply them, and Juan... well, Juan's just trying to pass Intro to Mechanics. Next time your engineer friend says "close enough," just flash this look and watch them dissolve into practical insignificance.

This electrifying dad joke delivers a triple shock of electrical puns! "Grounding" in electrical safety means connecting equipment to earth to prevent shock hazards, but it's also what parents do when kids misbehave. The punchline continues the circuit with "doing better currently" (electricity flows as current) and "conducting himself properly" (conductors allow electricity to flow). It's the perfect storm of parental discipline and electrical engineering terminology wired together into one shockingly good pun!

The mathematical apocalypse is upon us! A teacher's list of banned classroom words includes "Sigma, Beta, Alpha" - essentially outlawing the Greek alphabet that's fundamental to mathematics and physics. Might as well ban numbers next! Calculus students everywhere are frantically wondering if they'll have to refer to Σ as "that squiggly sum thingy" on their next exam. Meanwhile, physicists are silently weeping in the corner as they contemplate describing quantum states without Greek symbols. The classroom revolution we never saw coming: death by whiteboard!
