Laundry Day [OC]

Einstein just dropped the most dad joke in physics history. Someone's doing laundry while he's lamenting about spacetime, and they hit him with "I'm sure it's just a matter of time, Alloi" – combining his famous equation E=mc² (matter-energy equivalence) with general relativity (the whole matter-warps-spacetime thing) into one absolutely devastating pun.

The punchline works on multiple levels: "matter of time" is already an idiom meaning something inevitable, but here it's literally referencing how matter and time are fundamentally interconnected in Einstein's theories. Plus "Alloi" (probably short for Albert) makes it sound so casual, like they're roasting one of the greatest minds in history with wordplay while hanging up socks.

Einstein's progression from confused to that smug grin is perfection – you can practically hear the internal "I hate that I love this" happening in his brain. Even theoretical physicists can't resist a good pun about their own work.
