Astronomical Hacking At Its Finest

Using MATLAB for basic arithmetic is like bringing a nuclear submarine to a bathtub race. The excessive computational power makes even the simplest task feel like you're performing digital acrobatics. Graduate students worldwide know that feeling of writing 47 lines of code just to calculate what Excel could do with a single cell formula. But hey, at least your advisor will be impressed by all those semicolons.

The ultimate paradox of temporal engineering! Our intrepid time traveler failed to account for basic architectural changes in spacetime coordinates. Rookie mistake! The universe has a twisted sense of humor—merging you with solid matter is its way of saying "your calculations were off by juuust a bit." This is why proper 4D mapping is essential before any chronological displacement. Next time, maybe factor in building permits from future city planning departments?

The eternal battle for your browser history! When Mom types "p" in the search bar, it's a race between your innocent physics memes obsession and that other site we don't talk about at family dinner. Thank goodness for incognito mode and separate user profiles—the unsung heroes of modern science education. The real quantum superposition isn't Schrödinger's cat—it's your search history existing in both states of "academically impressive" and "dear god no" simultaneously until observed by a parent.

Ever notice how engineering gets sold as the golden ticket to wealth? The reality hits different! Parents, guidance counselors, and society push the "do engineering, get rich" narrative harder than a structural beam supports a bridge. Meanwhile, actual engineers are cackling at their desks, surrounded by coffee cups and stress, wondering when exactly that "lot" of money is supposed to materialize. Sure, the pay is decent, but considering the soul-crushing workload, impossible deadlines, and the fact that you'll be explaining to family members why you can't "just fix their printer" for the rest of your life... is it really worth it? The chaos in this meme perfectly captures that moment when you realize your engineering degree didn't transform you into Tony Stark but instead into someone who gets excited about optimized spreadsheets and properly labeled cable management!

Imagine advanced aliens watching Earth's energy evolution with complete bewilderment! We split atoms to create nuclear fission—unleashing MILLIONS of times more energy than burning fossil fuels—and then we're like "you know what would be cool? More windmills!" 🤦‍♂️ It's like inventing smartphones and then deciding carrier pigeons deserve a comeback. No wonder extraterrestrials are judging us! Nuclear fission provides incredible energy density with zero carbon emissions, yet we're still debating whether to put more giant pinwheels on hills. Any civilization advanced enough for interstellar travel would be facepalming so hard right now.

That graph is what happens when AI learns to code itself! Look at that cliff in 2023—it's like someone pushed the entire software engineering profession off a digital ledge! 📉 For years, hiring trended upward as tech companies gobbled up coders faster than I gobble up coffee during grant deadlines. Then WHAM! The machines said "thanks humans, we'll take it from here!" and suddenly software engineers became as rare as dinosaurs at a keyboard. The tiny uptick at the end is probably just the companies hiring the few remaining humans to make sure the AI doesn't decide to turn us all into paperclips. Talk about job security through extinction!
