Schrödinger's Funeral: Dead And Alive Until Proven Otherwise

Engineering students living in their own dimension where casual conversation is replaced by Navier-Stokes equations. The meme brilliantly captures that moment when someone asks a fluid dynamics enthusiast "how's it going?" and their brain immediately floods with partial differential equations instead of normal human responses. The Navier-Stokes equations shown are the holy grail of fluid dynamics - describing how the velocity, pressure, density and viscosity of a moving fluid are related. They're notoriously complex (one of the Millennium Prize Problems offers $1 million for solving them!), yet to engineering students, they're just casual chitchat material. That final "yea" panel is engineering humor at its finest - as if these incomprehensible equations are just a normal way to respond to "how's it going?" The title "Who Up Stoking They Navier Rn?" perfectly parodies late-night social media posts with "who up?" but for people who stay up late solving fluid dynamics problems instead.

The great Feynman strikes again! Everyone's got opinions on politics, climate change, and what your ex is doing wrong, but mention magnets and suddenly it's all "how do they work?" Energy conservation? Sure. Quantum chromodynamics? No problem. But ask someone to explain magnetic fields without using the word "force" and watch their brain short-circuit faster than an undergrad's laptop during finals week.

The mathematical pun that would make calculus students either giggle or groan! This equation shows that the derivative of position with respect to time equals velocity (di/dt = i̇). It's basically saying "the rate of change of i is i-dot" which is both mathematically correct AND a spectacular dad joke rolled into one. Newton is somewhere in the afterlife high-fiving Leibniz while simultaneously face-palming at this gloriously nerdy wordplay. Even differential equations have a sense of humor!

FINALLY! A chance to convert all that stored potential energy into kinetic energy! *maniacal physics student laughter* The beauty of this joke is the delicious double meaning of "potential" - academic promise vs gravitational potential energy when standing at height. That physics teacher really should've been more specific! Gravity doesn't care about your GPA, only your mass and elevation! Next time someone tells you that you have potential, just ask them: "What kind? Gravitational? Electric? Chemical?" Specificity matters in science, people!

The Venn diagram of academic existential crises. Physics majors spend three pages proving one equation while questioning if they're actually smart. Philosophy majors write 379 pages to prove 1+1=2 while questioning if anyone else is smart. Both share a love for Greek symbols, logical reasoning, and the crushing realization that being smart doesn't pay the bills. At least they can bond over their mutual search for truth while staring blankly at the void of post-graduation employment prospects.

Ever notice how physicists are totally chill explaining mind-bending concepts like black holes and multiverses, but completely lose their marbles over whether water is actually "wet"? 🤯 It's the ultimate scientific paradox! Water makes other things wet, but is water itself wet? The molecules are surrounded by... other water molecules! *frantically scribbles equations on whiteboard* The definition becomes a philosophical nightmare that turns confident astrophysicists into existential wrecks! Meanwhile, they'll casually explain quantum entanglement over coffee like it's no big deal. The cosmic irony is simply *chef's kiss*.
