How To Make Spacetime In Home

From Direct Current to Alternating Current—a perfect metaphor for our political system. Top row shows the stable, unchanging DC power of Washington, while the bottom reveals what happens when you flip to AC. That inverted Capitol building isn't just upside down; it's showing us what happens when polarity reverses every election cycle. Just like AC power, our politics oscillate between extremes with impressive regularity. At least electrical engineers have the decency to document their frequency changes.

Physics textbooks: simultaneously crushing students' spirits and tofu since 1949. The beautiful irony here is watching one of the authors, Roger Freedman, engage with peak academic humor by citing specific chapters when someone uses his 1000-page doorstop as a kitchen tool. Notice how he doesn't deny the book's primary function as an emotional torture device—just smoothly transitions into "teaching mode" even on Twitter. That's dedication to the craft of making students question their life choices while precisely measuring the force applied to soybean curds.

The meme features a physics exam question asking "In an atom, the number of electrons is equal to:" with three options. Someone selected "the number of electrons" (a tautology) instead of "the number of protons" (the correct answer). Below is Emperor Kuzco from "The Emperor's New Groove" saying "No, no. He's got a point." It's technically true in the most useless way possible! The number of electrons is equal to the number of electrons—just like saying water is wet. The teacher gave it 1 point because, well, you can't argue with that flawless circular logic. Chemistry teachers everywhere are simultaneously facepalming and reaching for their red pens.

Nuclear engineers have two faces when they hear "critical state." For the initiated, it's just Tuesday—the reactor's doing exactly what it should, reaching the perfect chain reaction equilibrium where each fission triggers exactly one more. For everyone else? Pure existential terror because they think Chernobyl 2.0 is imminent. It's like telling a non-pilot the plane is experiencing "controlled flight into terrain." Technically accurate, absolutely terrifying if you don't know it's just landing.

Studying Newtonian physics: "F=ma, cool, I got this!" 😄 Then Einstein shows up like "TIME IS RELATIVE, SPACE BENDS, E=mc², AND EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG!" 😱 Your brain after learning about quantum mechanics and relativity feels like you've been through all rounds of Squid Game simultaneously. No wonder physics students look like they've seen the mathematical void and it stared back!

The infamous toilet-hairdryer setup: fluid dynamics at its most desperate. Bernoulli's principle states that as fluid velocity increases, pressure decreases. Here, someone's attempting to use a hairdryer to create a high-velocity airflow beneath the toilet, theoretically reducing pressure and unclogging it. The same principle keeps airplanes aloft, but I doubt it'll keep your security deposit intact. Physics homework rarely prepares you for this level of improvised plumbing.
