Neither Holy Nor Roman Nor Empirical

The eternal struggle of engineering students everywhere! When the textbook says "k = 1.4 W/mK" your brain immediately goes "Watts per milliKelvin" instead of the correct "Watts per meter-Kelvin." That grimacing Winnie the Pooh face is the universal expression of realizing you've been calculating thermal conductivity wrong for the past hour. Nothing says "I'm about to fail this thermodynamics exam" quite like mixing up your units and getting answers that are 1000x off. The pain is thermal and very, very real.

Particle physics meets generational trauma! Someone's reimagined the Standard Model as a taxonomy of existential dread where quarks are generational stereotypes (complete with duck-bill aesthetics), and force carriers are literally "mental illnesses." The "up" quark is a Boomer worth $1B, while the "top" quark is Gen Z at a cool $800M. Meanwhile, the gluon is just a bottle of glue, and "Hugs" replaces the Higgs boson at a whopping $7.15B. My favorite touch? The "mewon" particle that's clearly a cat-physics pun with its little whiskers. Honestly, this explains why my research funding keeps disappearing into the quantum foam—it's all going to particle therapy sessions.

Poor Homer is the lone "coulomb" in a bar full of "mA·h" (milliampere-hours)! This is basically the electrical engineering version of being the only sober person at a party. While everyone else is measuring battery capacity, Homer's stuck with measuring electric charge. It's like showing up to a basketball game with hockey equipment. The electrical engineers in the room are probably cackling right now while the rest of us wonder why Homer looks so uncomfortable. Next time you feel out of place, just remember—at least you're not a fundamental unit trapped in a sea of derived measurements!

A perfect demonstration of disciplinary humor in the wild. Each field exposes its fundamental principles through self-deprecating punchlines. Physics jokes exist in quantum superposition, chemistry jokes follow exothermic reactions, engineering jokes require structural planning, economics jokes obey market forces, statistics jokes need p-values below 0.05, and geography jokes are spatially challenged. Scientists really do have one joke format and we've collectively beaten it to death with field-specific variables. The results are... significant enough for Reddit.

The secret weapon of desperate physics students everywhere! When all else fails, dimensional analysis swoops in like a superhero to save your grade. Just match those units and pray! The title "Works 9.8/10 Times" is a brilliant nod to Earth's gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s²) - because gravity always pulls you down, just like your physics grade without this trick! Dimensional analysis is that magical "I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm doing something" approach that professors secretly respect. It's basically the physics equivalent of looking like you know what you're talking about in a meeting!

The mathematical trauma is real! The meme shows the normal distribution curve (bell curve) of reactions to seeing vector notation in math. Most people fall in the middle with mild anxiety (34%), while the extreme ends show two distinct responses: the blissfully clueless student who doesn't even recognize the vector symbol (left) versus the math major in their natural habitat (right) who calmly defines vectors while everyone else panics. It perfectly captures that moment in class when the professor casually drops vector notation and half the room starts sweating. The bold face font and overhead arrow (→) are actually standard notation for vectors in mathematics and physics, making this a brilliant inside joke for anyone who's ever survived a linear algebra or physics course.
