The Right-Hand Rule

Nothing unites sworn enemies faster than shared hatred! Math and physics students—normally locked in eternal debate over who has the more "pure" discipline—suddenly become best buds when trashing chemistry and biology. "Oh, you think memorizing the entire periodic table is science? That's cute. Call us when you discover something that requires actual proofs." Meanwhile, chemistry and biology students are too busy making actual useful things like medicines and materials to care about this nerdy handshake of superiority. The STEM hierarchy drama continues!

The escalating sophistication of a simple weather forecast is peak scientific snobbery. Sure, the average person thinks doubling Fahrenheit means twice as hot (spoiler: it doesn't). The Celsius users feel slightly superior but still pedestrian. Then we have the Kelvin enthusiasts in formal attire because obviously they're intellectually superior using absolute temperature. But that final panel? That's the astrophysicist who can't help but mention stellar temperatures because regular weather is beneath them. Nothing says "I have a PhD" quite like responding to "nice weather today" with a dissertation on solar surface temperatures.

Wait, what?! One horse equals 15 horsepower?! Mind = blown! 🤯 The term "horsepower" was coined by engineer James Watt in the 1780s to compare steam engines to horses. But here's the kicker—Watt deliberately underestimated horse strength to make his engines look better! A single horse can actually produce about 15 horsepower in short bursts. It's like finding out your favorite superhero has been holding back this whole time. Next you'll tell me a duck's quack DOES echo!

The eternal struggle of temperature conversions strikes again! Poor student forgot the most fundamental rule of the Kelvin scale—there's no such thing as negative Kelvin in conventional thermodynamics. It's like showing up to a quantum physics exam with only high school algebra. The professor smugly gives the answer in Kelvin (as we do), while the overachiever immediately spots the conversion error. Meanwhile, our caveman-coded brain is just trying to remember if you add 273.15 or subtract it. Spoiler: you add it. And no, "-78.3 Kelvin" isn't just cold—it's "break the laws of physics" cold. Unless you're working with quantum gas systems that can achieve negative absolute temperature states, in which case... maybe that smarty-pants deserves extra credit after all.

The desperation is palpable! Physics students know that Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics isn't just a textbook—it's a mathematical gauntlet that has broken spirits since 1962. The joke brilliantly flips the typical "checkmate atheists" format by suggesting that only divine intervention could help someone understand Maxwell's equations and vector calculus the night before an exam. Trust me, no amount of cramming will save you from Jackson's infamous problem sets. Even Einstein would need more than one night!

The bell curve of scientific intelligence strikes again! While the intellectual peasants and geniuses humbly admit biology and quantum physics are beyond complete comprehension, the mediocre middle-IQ crowd proudly declares "sodium is fizzy lol" with unearned confidence. It's the perfect illustration of the Dunning-Kruger effect in science—those who know just enough to be dangerous but not enough to recognize the vast ocean of their ignorance. The truly brilliant minds and the beginners both share a healthy respect for complexity, while everyone else is busy making TikToks about baking soda volcanoes.
