Resistors? You Mean Frogs?

The eternal subatomic drama! Two positively charged protons should absolutely repel each other due to electrostatic forces (like charges repel, basic physics 101). But at extremely close distances—within the "effective window of radius" that professors love to torture students with on exams—the strong nuclear force swoops in like a relationship counselor and binds these repulsive particles together in atomic nuclei. It's basically quantum physics' version of "enemies to lovers" trope. The reluctant handshake at the end kills me every time.

The Nobel Prize committee just collectively facepalmed. This "groundbreaking discovery" is just someone typing a random 11-digit number after sodium. Real isotopes are identified by their mass number (like Sodium-23), which represents the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The largest known sodium isotope is Sodium-37, making this "Sodium-11717662555" about 11,717,662,518 neutrons too heavy to exist in our universe. But hey, at least they clicked "First Discovery" - because nothing says scientific rigor like a button press!

The duality of physics procrastination captured in one perfect meme! That initial smile of blissful ignorance when you first glance at your neglected homework... followed by the painful realization that Newton's laws wait for no one. Five weeks of doing nothing means those simple kinematics problems have somehow transformed into incomprehensible hieroglyphics. The smile remains frozen on your face as your brain desperately tries to remember what the heck a "free-body diagram" is or why we care about some apple falling on Newton's head. Pro tip: Physics homework follows the second law of thermodynamics - left alone, the complexity only increases. Unlike wine, physics assignments don't get better with age!

Everyone entering physics: "I want to do theoretical physics!" Squidward's deadpan "How Original..." is basically every physics professor who's heard this a thousand times! 😂 But wait—"and string theory"—now we've reached peak freshman ambition! String theory is that sexy, mysterious field where 11-dimensional strings might explain everything in the universe... or nothing at all, depending who you ask! It's the physics equivalent of saying "I want to be a rockstar" when you've just learned to play 'Hot Cross Buns' on the recorder. Dream big, little theoretical fish! Just maybe learn some quantum mechanics first?

Every physics student's nightmare: sitting through yet another oversimplified explanation of flight. Teachers love to say "Bernoulli's principle causes lift because faster air on top creates lower pressure" and call it a day. But mention Newton's Third Law or boundary layer separation? Suddenly they're playing the Uno "Draw 25" card! The reality of aerodynamics involves complex vortex systems, circulation theory, and the Coanda effect—but good luck getting that in Intro Physics. It's like explaining a symphony by only talking about the flute section.

Physics students in the first week vs. physics students during finals week. The left shows the blissful ignorance of someone who thinks kinematics equations are just cute little formulas to memorize. "Oh look, v equals s over t! How simple!" Fast forward to finals week on the right, where your soul has been crushed by the endless derivations, proofs, and problem sets that make you question your life choices. Those innocent equations have multiplied, mutated, and now haunt your dreams. That moment when you realize Newton's laws were just the tutorial level, and now you're fighting the final boss with nothing but coffee and despair.
