The Units Conversion Frustration

The Units Conversion Frustration
physics-memes, energy-memes, units-memes, joule-memes, electron-volt-memes | ScienceHumor.io

Physics nerds unite! This meme perfectly captures that moment when someone tries to correct you with the wrong unit and you're just internally screaming. The joke here is that 1 Joule (J) actually does equal 6.242 × 1018 electron volts (eV)! So when the second character tries to "correct" the first one by saying "eV" instead of "J", the first character gets annoyed because they're literally equivalent measurements—just at vastly different scales!

It's like someone saying "that's not a quarter, it's 25 cents!" and you're just sitting there wondering if they passed elementary math. The conversion between joules and electron volts is fundamental physics knowledge that makes physicists and engineers want to flip tables when someone tries to "well actually" them incorrectly.
