Dua Lipa's New Rules: Elementary Particles Edition

The meme perfectly captures that chemical engineering student who learned the ideal gas law (PV=nRT) and now thinks it's the universal solution to every thermodynamic problem. Spoiler alert: using ideal gas equations near critical pressure is like trying to predict weather with a Magic 8-Ball. The ideal gas law assumes gases behave... well, ideally—which they absolutely don't at extreme conditions where molecules start getting clingy with each other. The dog's disappointed expression in the final panel is basically every professor watching students apply oversimplified models to complex systems. It's the thermodynamic equivalent of bringing a plastic spoon to dig the Suez Canal.

The bell curve of understanding electricity is too real! At both ends of the IQ spectrum, people are like "electricity is magic" but for completely different reasons. The low IQ folks haven't figured it out, while the high IQ geniuses have gone so deep they've circled back to mysticism. Meanwhile, the average person in the middle is just parroting "it's flowing electrons" without truly grasping the quantum weirdness happening. The deeper you go into electrical theory, the more it starts feeling like sorcery again. Those 34% on either side of the peak know what's up!

The infrastructure here is what happens when engineers decide to round π from 3.14159... to just 3, and the gravitational constant from 9.8 m/s² to a neat 10. Those train tracks are about to experience some seriously questionable physics! The trains appear to be traveling on parallel tracks that should never meet, yet somehow they're crossing paths like they're in different dimensions. This is the engineering equivalent of saying "close enough" and hoping nobody notices. Spoiler alert: we noticed. Next up: square wheels because circles are "too complicated."

The physics professor just dropped the ultimate cosmic punchline! While antimatter and dark matter are busy being all mysterious and important, "doesn't matter" joins the party as the slacker particle of the universe with zero contribution. It's basically the physics equivalent of that friend who shows up to the group project and does absolutely nothing. The universe's way of saying "meh" in equation form! 😂 Next up in quantum discoveries: "Whatever Matter" - the particle that could solve everything but just can't be bothered.

The red circle around "Shopping" while searching for black holes is cosmic capitalism at its finest! Apparently someone thinks you can just add a supermassive space-time anomaly to your cart alongside your weekly groceries. "Yes, I'd like to order one black hole please - do you offer free shipping? No? Well, I guess that makes sense since not even light can escape it." Next thing you know, they'll be selling event horizons as premium add-ons and singularities as doorstops. The ultimate impulse buy that literally consumes all other impulse buys!

The eternal struggle of late-night engineering! When the clock strikes 3 AM and your brain is running on fumes, suddenly those pesky constants (π = 3.141592, e = 2.71828, g = 9.80665) transform into a beautiful, simple "3" thanks to the divine intervention of Engineering Angel! Why waste precious brain cells on decimal places when approximation is salvation? This is the sacred "close enough" principle that's built half the world's infrastructure. The next time your professor demands precision, just whisper "it's 3... because an angel told me so."
