If Entropy Is Real, How Do Refrigerators Exist?

Capacitors are the electrical equivalent of bouncers at an exclusive DC club. "Direct current? Come right in. But you? Nope." They block DC while allowing AC to pass through, creating this perfect electrical discrimination. Engineers spend years mastering circuit design only to be thwarted by components with the selective permeability of a high school clique. Next time your device fails, remember it might just be a capacitor enforcing its arbitrary social hierarchy.

Playing with states of matter and temperature puns in the lab is apparently a capital offense. First saying boiled water is "solid" (it's liquid, obviously), then claiming it's "cool" (when it's literally hot). This is the kind of wordplay that makes scientists contemplate a career change. The look of pure disappointment on that researcher's face is the universal "I didn't spend 8 years in grad school for this" expression.

The meme shows what happens when you take math and typography way too literally! The image displays "What 90° F looks like:" followed by the letter F rotated 90 degrees. But the commenter points out it's actually -90° since the F is rotated counterclockwise. It's a brilliant visual pun playing on the dual meaning of degrees—temperature vs. rotation. Next-level nerdy humor that would make your geometry teacher both proud and disappointed simultaneously.

Even the devil meets his match when challenging a physics student! The kid's request to "EXPLAIN SPIN TO ME" is pure genius—quantum spin is so mind-bendingly complex that Satan himself can't explain it! 😈 For the uninitiated, quantum spin is this bizarre property of subatomic particles that doesn't actually involve spinning (despite the name). It's more like an intrinsic angular momentum with no classical equivalent. The title "0.5 ħ" refers to the spin value of electrons—exactly half of Planck's reduced constant—which is what makes this meme extra brilliant for physics nerds. Turns out the ultimate way to defeat evil isn't holy water or prayers—it's asking for explanations of quantum mechanics! Who knew the path to ruling hell was through graduate-level physics?

The classic engineering student evolution! First year you're scoffing at simple projectile motion problems thinking "I'm too good for computers." Fast forward to final year and you're on your knees begging Simulink to cooperate while staring at control system diagrams that look like someone sneezed circuit symbols onto paper. Nothing humbles an engineering student faster than differential equations and transfer functions. The confidence-to-complexity curve is basically free fall with no parachute!

The subtle difference between lowercase 'v' (velocity) and uppercase 'V' (volume) becomes painfully irrelevant when you're three hours into a thermodynamics lecture running on nothing but cold coffee and desperation. The professor might as well be explaining quantum mechanics in hieroglyphics. "They're the same picture" is the universal response of every student whose brain has officially left the building.
