The Secret To Getting Buffed: Exception-Driven Fitness

That moment of existential shock when you realize there's no escaping electricity in modern vehicles! Even "non-electric" cars are packed with electronic control units, sensors, batteries, and starters. It's like ordering decaf and finding out it still has caffeine. The cat's wide-eyed expression perfectly captures that "my whole life is a lie" realization that hits engineering students about halfway through their first automotive systems course.

Engineering forums in their natural habitat. Someone asks a detailed, thoughtful question about wireless protocols and the mod's entire response is just "google." The digital equivalent of a professor writing "see textbook" on your 3-page question. Twenty years of engineering education and experience distilled into a single dismissive word. The beautiful irony is that if the poster had just googled "why are engineers so insufferably condescending," they'd have found this exact thread as the top result.

Engineers who use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software fall into three distinct camps on this bell curve of sanity: On the far left (0.1%), we have the "Pretty color :)" crowd who just enjoy making rainbow-colored fluid simulations without understanding the math. In the middle (34% on each side), we find normal engineers using CFD as intended - you know, to solve actual problems. And on the far right (0.1%), there's the "Pretty vectors" gang who've descended into obsession with the mathematical beauty of vector fields. But the true galaxy-brain move? Spending your entire Master's degree simulating a cow as an ideal gas with k-epsilon turbulence. Because nothing says "I've mastered fluid dynamics" like turning farm animals into mathematical abstractions!

Behold, the morning ritual of the mechanical engineer – waking up with the smug superiority that only comes from believing your discipline is the only "real" engineering. While electrical engineers are playing with invisible electrons and civil engineers are just stacking bricks, mechanical engineers are designing the machines that make the world turn... or so they tell themselves. The tribal warfare between engineering disciplines is practically a required course. Chemical engineers think they're chemists who can do math, software engineers think they're not just glorified typists, and aerospace engineers are just mechanical engineers who couldn't handle being on the ground. Meanwhile, physicists watch from a distance, wondering why anyone would choose to apply their equations to something as mundane as reality.

Engineering students don't need friends when they can build their own walking companions. That robot is probably the only entity that understands your differential equations jokes. The irony of creating advanced humanoid robotics while lacking basic human connection is peak engineering department culture. At least the robot won't borrow your calculator and never return it.

The eternal clash of engineering generations! 🚀 The older engineer is living in '78 glory days, reminiscing about slide rules and punch cards while the younger engineer is desperately trying to drag them into the 21st century. It's like trying to explain TikTok to someone who thinks "wireless" means the radio! The best part? Those Ford Aerospace veterans built literal spaceships with basically a calculator and a pencil, so you can't even argue with them. Meanwhile, you're wondering if they'll ever stop talking about their Corvette that cost less than your student loans. Engineering evolution at its finest!
